Soviet Bid to Adenouer
Stirs Misgiivings in West

What disturbes Western leaders
lis the fact that Mr.. Adenauer
has so little choice in deciding
whether or not to talk to the
Russians. Even if he should
happen to believe that it was a
dangerous mistake to open two
way negotiations, outright re-
fusal to talk would be an cnor-
NOUS political risk for the Chan
cellor to take. The strength of
popular feeling in Germany for
and the strength OF
popular feeling everywhere in
Europe for some kind of settle
ment with Russia is a highly ex-
ploitable lever in the hands OF
Kremlin strategists.
Because of this, Western lead
ers are a good deal less sure OF
their position than they would
like to be. At the moment, in
fact, there is a good deal OF
question about whether the West
is on the offensive or defensive.
Western leaders say--and would
like to believe-the free world at
this point :. reaping the re-
wards of a policy of strength and
unity and that Russia is on the
run. At the stame time there
lis a strong suspicion that for
all their smiling exterior the men
|of the Kremlin still have a very
clear idea Of what they are do
