in Moscow's cold war arsenal.
It seems certain to be used In

as Russia tries to compel the
Western powers to accept Soviet
control of Eastern Europe.
A sharp renewal of political
conflict between the Soviet and
Atlantic power blocs was assured
10y the final breakdown Of nego-

Western estimates that Russia
was ready to begin paying q
fairly high price for peace.
These estimates had grown out
Iof the summit conference last
July, especially the cordial rela-
ltions which Premier Bulganir
seemed to want to develop with
President Eisenhower.
Test Of Sentiment
The foreign ministers meeting
was a test of the meaning of the
summit session after two years
of a Russian peace campaign
which followed the death OF
Joseph Stain. Results of the
test show the correct estimate
was not that Russia's new rulers
were trying to buy an st-West
peace but that they win play q
much more intricate and ag-
gressive game.
They were trying to eliminate
problems which prof1ted Russia
little and irritated the outside
