One o6 the fears thai pIagtle all
Western statesmen is that Russia
may be- able to lull the free world
into "a sense of false security in
order to deliver 4 fatal sneak H
bomb attack. a 3 q s
Statesmen still remember 1850.
when war broke outs in Korea. and
United 4 Nations forces nearly lost
the strategic peninsula.
The consequent reaction has been
for Western leaders continually to
warn one another to remain vigi-
liant. Senator Knowlands S is one of
the louder warning voices. Last
Monday he called on Congress, the
Joint Chiefs of Staff, State and De-
Tense Departments to consider seri-
ously a 'basic change in the direc-
ton of our policy"
When the Soviet Union and the
United States reach an atomic stale
mate (rlaost observers think that
stage has already been reached.
Senator Knowland fears that the
communists viii be free tokresume
their "nibbling" type of conven-
tional warfare. They then could alb
sorb new nations behind the Iron
curtain, one at a time, until they
had us completely surrounded.
A Softening?
Recent remarks by President Ell
SenhOWer about the necessity OF
finding a naodns DiUendi with Russia
have been interpreted by the Call
fornia Senator as a softening in the
United States attitude.
He believes the free worlds best
bet is the opposite: To refuse an
other inch of retreat like last sum-
mer'S Indo-China decision and the
United States apparent intention
now to give up certain islands off
Red China.
What would be his alternative to
backing up? He did not say. But
since he deplored placing the body
OF the octopus. ti.e. the Communist
heartland). out Of danger" many
took Senator Knowland to be advo-
eating preventive war against Rus
sia. The majority leader denied this.
According to Senator Knowland,
preventive war; implies that the
United States has no provocation.
He holds, however, that the Reds are
provoking us every day. What this
seems to boil down to is that Mr..
knowland provokes more easily than
Mr.. Eisenhower. What is provoca-
ton to the Senator is only pretense
to others.
Later last week. Senator Know
land explained that he considers not
only open aggression to be provoca-
ton, but also subversion. Both, in
his opinion, should be met by
massive retaliation against the Com
munist heartland.
A Minority Voice
No one else Ia a prominent posi-
ton has publicly advocated massive
retaliation as an answer to Com
munist subversion. So, in this re-
spect. the majority leader is def
nitely a minority voice.
Especially In his views on atomic
stalemate,s ITS Mr. Knowland out of
step. First, most leaders already
credit Russia with enough fission-
ables and fusionahles to have
reached stalemate status long ago.
And second and more Importantly
The West seems to have passed the
point of no return on using atomic
weapons If any War-large or small
should break out. This asSump-
ton is based on President Eisen-
hoWer's speech last December before
the United Nations. Atomic weap-
ons have virtually achieved conven-
tional status within our armed
services" " he said.
Echoing the President last month,
Britains Field Marshal Montgomery
had this to say:

Atoms for Peace

One area where peaceful CO.
operation seemed definitely in the
ascendancy was in the United Ma
tions. Even the Soviet Union ap-
peared more sympathetic toward
President Eisenhower's plan to set
up a pool of fashionable material and
scientific brains.
The first fashionable material for
the pool was produced dramatically
last week by the United States and
Great Britain. The brains are slated
to be assembled at an international
conference next summer.
Henry Cabot Lodge announced
Monday that the United States
would make available 220 pounds Of
atom" carefully denatured to
prevent warlike use-to a new in
ternational control agency for use
in several atomic reactors to be set
up around the world Next day.
Britain anted A pounds. Obvious
ly, the squeeze was on Soviet Russia.
Russion Role Likely
BY the end of the week, the
American delegation was sure Rus
STA would at least participate as an
adviser in setting up the 1855 SCI
entic conference. There was still
no indication whether the Kremlin
had enough spare fashionable mate
rial around to make a contribution.
AS far as contribution to world
energy sources was concerned, the
Anglo-American 264 pounds were
insignificant. But that was neither
here nor there. The main purpose
of this small batch of fashionable
material will be to get some of the
smaller nations started on training
atomic technicians. Small amounts
of the stuff can be used to produce
isotopes which are extremely val
liable in biological research and in
industry.
Atomic power In quantity win
come much later-"eventually," as
Ambassador Lodge put it last week.
This, of course, does not minimize
the size or the significance of last
weeks contributions, Of course. The
264 pounds Of U-235 or plutonium
probably cost several million dol
lars to produce. And it should be
enough to set of "chain reaction"
as Mr.. Lodge put 1t, for peaceful
uses Of atomic energy around the
world.
