The existence of NATO,
including the West German

cepted by the Soviets, despite
the fact that 1t puts the United
States as a permanent force

Neither side wants war, be-
cause neither can anticipate

a victory that would be worth

The last real area of great
power conflict in Europe boils
down, therefore, to Germany
and the issue of its unifica-

have managed to scare the
Western world with the fear
that the next war will destroy
civilization If H-bombs are
used. Hence the logical thing,
of course. is to get all nations
to agree not to use them. That
would make conventional arms
and big armies dominant-and
that. means domination of
Europe by Soviet Russia. It's
a practical problem which the
dreamers and those who keep

But President Eisenhower is

his life as a soldier preparing

He is not likely to be fooled.
So the real conference will be

more diplomatic conversation

In practical political terms
the doctrine Of "coexistence"
recognizes spheres Of interest
between great powers, with
each agreeing formally or tao
lily to keep out of the others

lines casually in consideration
Of security beyond which the
powers do not step for the pur-
pose Of extending their own
spheres. either by direct acts
Of aggression or by supporting
conspiracies to influence the
foreign policies of others.
Human nature and sover-
eign states being what they are,
this coexistence is most easily
maintained when the strength
Of the powers is more or less
In balance. and the Calculated
risk" Of upsetting the status
quo appears too great to be
worth taking a chance with
war. while its maintenance is
reasonably acceptable to all
the powers.
There is nothing idealistic in
such politics. 1t involves a
realistic assessment of relative
strengths and opportunities. It

Wet military mechanism has

The Soviets haven't given the

WEAVER SAYS -.
ABOUT SOCIAL SECURITY .

The article below was written
by William 3. Weaver, manager,
Social Security Administration, 81
s.W. First ST., Miami 80, Fla,
phone 9-s461. This Is one OF a
series Of articles appearing In
these columns weekly.
Last week / told you a few of
the reasons for our increased bus
mess.
This week I'll try TO explain
some of the thinking behind all
this - the thinking of individuals
maybe like yourself.
For example: A man now SO,
whose wife has just become 65,
decides to retire. His children, if
any, are on their own; his home is
cid for; and he can earn UP to
$1,000 year without income-taX
or loss of benefits. His earnings
for the past few years have av-
eraged $500 year and his bene-
fits will probably be $3.50 for
himself and $4,000 for his wife, a
total of $147.80 monthly.
On an annual basis this couple
will receive $1,773.60 which, with
$1,000 which he expects to earn
during the year, makes a total
of $2,973.60-some $500 a year
less than he averaged while work
ing full time. They figure that
they will have more left at the
end of the year because they will
have less expense than they had
when he was working full time,
due to less clothing, transporta-
ton, food and other items at
tributable to his work.
A system which many people
thought offered very little for
very few has suddenly blosSomed
out into one that a great many
find extremely interesting when
thinking of retirement
