West Surprised at Soviet Lag
On Countering l London I 70ctics

Of eventual Horsepower talks is
perhaps not shared equally by all
the western leaders.
It seems. in short. that II the
Russians are content to sit back
on the strength Of their present
effort. the goals of the West may
be quickly reached. At the same
time, however, the experts here
are not dismissing the possibility
of some really dramatic move by
the Kremlin to gum up the works
at the last minute.
One Of the more disturbing
possibilities. for example. is that
Russia might turn back the clock
to the time Of the Berlin confer
ence last January and accept
the plan for German reunifica-
ton proposed then by Britain's
Foreign Minister Anthony Eden.
This plan. which was indorsed
by all the Allied delegations.
called for the formation of an
alderman government by free
elections. The new government
would I'm turn negotiate the
terms of a German peace treaty
with the four occupying powers.
The disturbing feature Of the
Eden plan, which was not en-
phasized at the time, Is the
part that Russia would newt
ably play at the peace confer
ence. in controlling the terms
Of German rearmament. AS an
occupying power, dealing with
conditions that would apply
throughout the whole country,
it is hard to see how Russia could
be deprived of a virtual power
Of veto over any of the terms
that peace treaty might con-
tain.
May Be Soviet Price.
In other words, it is thought
just possible that Russia might
accept the reunification of Ger
many along free and democatic
lines as the price of re-estab-
fishing its control over the fu-
ture rearmament Of the country.
It is not hard to predict what
direction that control would
take. And, as an alternative to
the independent rearmament of
West Germany, the price might
not seem too high to pay.
If such an offer were made,
it is hard to say what the allied
reaction would be. It is true,
Of course, that considerable
water has passed under the
bridge since the Berlin confer
ence. and that an offer made
then might not be considered
valid today.
On the other hand, 1t would
certainly put the West in a bad
spot. Outright rejection could
well upset the delicately bal
anced political machinery in Eu-
rope and wreck the hesitant
movement toward uniflcation
that is now under way.

PARIS.-Dipiomats here who
make 1t their job to forecast
Russian strategy have been sur
prised by the sluggishness Of the
Kremlin team since the end Of
the London conference.
The Russians. to be sure.
haven't been completely inac-
tive. They came up quickly
with the two expected plays:
disarmament and German re-
unification. At the United Ma
tions. Mr.. Vishinslky aroused the
interest Of many Of his listeners
by seeming to give way on q
number Of issues that have
stalled the disarmament COM
mission for years. In East Ber-
lin, Mr.. Molotov suggested that
perhaps. after all, there was not
so much disagreement on Ger
man reunification as had ap-
peared at the time Of the Ber-
lin conference.
But then, after this vigorous
beginning. the Russians have
done little to press the initia-
tive. Mr.. Vishinsky has been
slow in explaining exactly what
he had in mind, and SO has Mr.
Molotov. The silence Of the
Kremlin has strengthened the
general conviction that neither
of the offers deserves serious
consideration.
Fails to Stir Dissent.
II the Kremlin strategists be-
lieved that these offers, as they
stood, would spread dissent and
confusion throughout the allied
camp, they have been disap-
pointed. In Germany, the talk
of reunification has provided q
certain cutting edge to Chan.
cellor Adenauer's Socialist op-
position; in France, the disar-
mament proposal has encour-
aged some neutralists to wave
their white flag a bit harder
than before. But in each coun-
try, the government-backed by
a majority of the Parliament
seems determined that new Rus
sian Establishments should not
be allowed to defect the West
from the course to Western
unity and German rearmament
mapped out at London.
There is still, of course, some
suspicion about the firmness o1
Premier Mendes-France. His re.
cent remarks to the Nationa
Assembly, suggesting that there
would be time for new talks
with the Russians before Ger.
many could be actually rearmec
under the Brussels Treaty Or
ganization, have caused misgiv.
ing abroad.
His idea, however, was neither
alarming nor new: The first ster
is to bind Germany to the West
and set up the machinery fol
German rearmament. After that
the time would come to see what
the Russians have in mind. Thi.
program Of negotiating from
strength has been the whole ba.
sis of western strategy from tht
beginning. It is perhaps not sur.
prising that the French Premier
should rea turn it now, although

is somewhat similar to the
weather pattern which, in

general situation which, in mid
