Answer to the Greatest Worry of U. S.
Is in Critical Capitals on Continent

EN- ROUTE TO EUROPE
The answer to the greatest
worry of the American people
today is somewhere in Europe.
For. while the problems of Asia
are often acute and threaten
ing, they are after all only
part of the checkerboard of
Europe where the real strug-
gle goes on for a balance of
power that can set the stage
for or prevent a third world
war.
To a degree perhaps unreal
lied by many people in the
United States. the life and
the future business welfare of
the Nation now are dependent
on the outcome of those Euro
pean maneuvers that seek some
form, of security but which
history tells us have often led
to war.
No one capital-MoScow or
London-is able to supply the
answer. For a crisis can come
out of events in italy or France
or even out of the Balkan
states that now are under the
Soviet yoke. The whole situ-
alton is interrelated.
Does. for example, the new
effort by Soviet Russia to
make a deal with Austria fore
shadow another move to ap-
peal to, the people of West
Germany? For it is obviously
Moscow's game to grant a
form of independence not only
to Austria but some day to a
reunited Germany. It's the
battle over a rearmed Ger
many and her future that
causes real concern. Will Mos
COW ever be content until she
has somehow gotten a tight
hold on Germany through
either economic or political
ties?
Also is it to be assumed that
the Soviet has given up hope
Evening star., 1955-04-22

The conference of the Asian
African free countries at Ban
dung has been less harmoni-
Gus than the Asiatic Commu-
nists and their Russian hackers
hoped. But it demonstrated
a greater unity of purpose
among the Big Three Asiatics
Communist China, India and
Indonesia) than exists among
the Big Three Western ma
tions (the United States,
Great Britain and France.
Voices of such Asiatic powers
as Pakistan, Ceylon and Iraq
were raised against all types of
colonialism including that of
the Reds. But so far the dis
sensions have been less marked
than those between the ma
tions of the West. The Asiatic
dissenters acted from fear of
the intentions Of the powerful
Soviet-Red Chinese and Indian
axis, rather than in opposition
to the goals of the conference.
Only the Turks and the Fill
pino representatives are ac--
tually antagonistic to an Asian
African bloc to oppose the
West in all areas of the world.
The misunderstanding be-
tween the Western powers and
their lack of unity for a COM
mon policy in the Far East for
the sake of maintaining that
vast area of the world, with
more than one billion people.
free and independent are
deeper, however, than appear
on the surface. This pulling
in different directions is def
nitely playing into the hands
of the Communists and their
camp followers.
For instance. after the
French abandoned ship in
Indo-China, this country Of
fered to support in the remain
ing free area of Wet Nam a
native government regarded
by us as capable of maintain
ing the southern portion of
the country independent of
the Communists. In our usual

Soviets Seem to Recognize That H-Bombs
Are Not for Winning Public Opinion

The Soviets have invited the
Foreign Ministers Of the United
States, Great Britain and
France to Vienna to conclude
a state treaty with Austria
along the lines negotiated in
Moscow with the Austrian
Chancellor, julius Raab. There
is. apparently, nothing in the
treaty that the Western powers
have not recommended or been
willing to accept for a long
time.
The Soviet invitation con-
tains one word that may have
semantic significance, 1t speaks
Of fully restoring "the inde-
pendence of a democratic Aus
trian state" Hitherto the So
viets have not described as
democratic" states which, like
the Austrian. are internally
strongly anti-Communist. In
the new context 1t would ap-
pear that the Soviets can find
a state democratic If it is not
in a military alliance against
the Soviet Union.
The conclusion Of a treaty
with Austria will. by previous
treaties with the Western pow
ers. require the Soviets to evac-
uate not only from Austria but
Hungary and Romania as well.
This will be welcome to the
people Of these countries, al
though 1t will not liberate
them from the Communist
regimes imposed in fact by the
conquering Russian armies.
But 1t may be a step in the
direction OF less rigidity and
greater free play for internal
forces.

vitation to the powers, Mar
shal Zhukov. via q message

of recovering Yugoslavia and
presenting the Italians with a
worry on their northern border
as Communists inside Italy
keep up their unremitting
propaganda which continues to
exploit conditions of poverty?
These are questions that con-
front the Western powers as
they prepare to rearm Ger
many. If the Western alliance
were solid and invincible, in
stead of wavering and volatile
due to internal dissensions and
the poisons of political-party
strife, there would be less hope
for Moscow to realize her am
bitions.
But the weaknesses of Brit
ain. France, Germany and
Italy cannot be CLOSED over.
Precisely because some of the
statesmen there know this,
they grow uneasy when an
Asian crisis arises which could
divert to the Far East some of
the manpower and supplies
that might be needed to defend
Europe.
To survey some of these
situations, this writer plans to
visit the principal countries of
the Western alliance. 1t is
conceded that Marshall Plan
aid has saved Europe from
economic chaos. But there is
as yet no plan or prescription
to save Europe from the follies
of it's politicians.
There are elections coming

there will be an election soon

closely for any Red Chinese at

DORIS FLEESON

There are signs somewhat
larger than a mans hand
that President Eisenhower has
made up his mind on the ques-
tions of an atomic war for
Quemoy and Matsu, should
they be attacked. and that the
decision is for peace.
The final choice as to peace
or war may no longer rest en-
tirely in our hands, but this
Capital City, in which during
the past few weeks the admin
istration's attitude toward de-
fense of the offshore islands
seemed to be hardening in the
direction of a military solu-
ton, is suddenly relaxing.
The immediate cause of the
drop in tension is the dispatch
of Admiral Radford and AS
sistant Secretary of State Wal
ter Robertson to FormoSa.
The grapevine story is they
have been sent to break the
bad news to Chang Kai-shek.
1t will be bad news to him, in
deed.
There is some doubt as to
who has been leading whom in
the Formosa situation. Chang
has been blamed for his pres
sures on Americans visiting
Formosa to obtain assistance
in his old hope of reconquest
of China. Any incident in
volving the United States in
open conflict with Red China
would serve his end. Yet there
is no doubt that some Amer
leans have strongly encour-
aged Chang in his endeavors.

Robertson have been indeed

that the United States had at

a hands-off attitude toward
the conference largely out of
fear of its possible direction.
The fact that democratic ideas
have been so ably supported
anyway makes those ideas as
expressed by many Asian and
African leaders much less sus-
pect.
Washington is of two minds
about the Austrian peace
treaty which was so suddenly
proffered by the USSR. There
are many who suspect some
sort of Soviet trickery. Never
theless, it is thought there
that the treaty, which would
provide Austria with freedom.

strict neutrality as between
East and West. must be ac-
cepted. Austria. they pointed
out, could not offer much mill
tary potential even if she were
in position to side with the
West. AS realists we must rec
ognize the fact that under no
other terms would the Soviet
Union agree to freedom for
Austria.
That the Austrian peace
treaty is bait for Germany.
few can doubt. 1t is felt that
Russia, having failed to de-
feat Western plans for joint
European defense, including
rearmed Germany, hopes by
the example of Austria to
stimulate a German demand
for unity and for freedom from
occupation, at the same price
neutrality.
This NAV be true, but it is
believed here that there would
be strong short-term gains. at
least, with a free Austria les
sening the Russian pressure in
central Europe.

our British allies are doing at
this very moment their utmost
to bring about a solution of

damage the arc of our Pacific

We are not calling for any

are worn out and tired after
the last war. On the contrary,
even now when their economies
have been improved in many
instances over what they were
before the last war, we are
prepared to continue to sup
port their mild military pre-
paredness and economy with
a new flow of American tax

them is at least to give the

that they do not pull the rug

Chang to back down now, the
mission will appear ironic to
some.
If true, this means the effec-
tive end of Chiang's hopes for
a return to his homeland. 1t
may lead, as he has pied. to
the distintegration of his
forces on FormoSa, and more
particularly his government.
1t is no secret that some of
the Chinese on Formosa. some
of them important. might
take the first convenient OPP
portunity to make personal
peace with the Chinese Com
muniStS.
Chiang'S Spokesmen have
been making it clear that the
generalissimo will fight for
Quemoy and Matsu even if
we do not. But he may be in
the position of Korean Pres
ident Syngman Rhee, who
also made such statements
when he disapproved of the
peace we made in Korea. He
finally was forced. however
reluctantly. to face the facts
of life.
There are other factors in
Washington's new mood. The
fact that the conference at
Banding has seen democratic
ideas so forcibly presented has
calmed fears that an Asian
African neutraiist front was
in the making. So far the
conference has been anything
but a triumph either for the
Communists as represented by
Chou En-lai or the neutralists
as represented by India's
Nehru.
