heran. Yalta or Potsdam, where
momentous decisions were
taken by q handful of men
behind the backs of the Amer
ican people. have definitely
been dispelled after the last
two meetings of President Ell
senhower and Secretary Dulles
with Republican and Demo-
cratic leaders Of both houses.
Not only did Mr.. Eisenhower
lay out all his ideas-and in
cidentally his misgivings-for
the Big Four conference, but
he also assured the legislators
that they would be kept In
formed about everything dur
ing and after the meetings.
Mr.. Eisenhower and Mr..
Dulles are said to have re-
peated their assurances they
will not become involved in
any discussions concerning the
Far East-and particularly
Communist and Free China
behind the backs Of Chang
Kai-shek, Syngman Rhee or
any other head Of a free gov
ernment.
Nonpartisanship was stressed
by the fact that the Demo-
cratic leaders in both houses
will have access to the same
information as the Republic
cans. If the pledges are fully
kept, 1t will be a complete re-
versal from the days when
such men as Senators Tom
Connally, former chairman Of
the Foreign Relations Com
mittee and Arthur Vanden-
berg were scanning In vain
newspaper reports in the hope
of finding some interesting tid-
bits on what was purported to
have happened at the Big
Three conferences. Even the
Secretaries Of State themselves
had only limited information
about the agreements reached
there.
Although there are some rea-
sons to believe we may find
the cards stacked against US
at Geneva. the. congressional
leaders who share the misgiv-
ings of the executive are satis-
fled they will not be kept in
ignorance about agreements on
which they may eventually
have to give their "advice and
consent" And this relates
particularly to the explosive
Far Eastern situation where
conditions are totally different
from those in Europe.
Not only are the British and
French leaning more toward
the Russian point Of view for
a solution in ASIA" but reli-
able intelligence reports indi-
cate an ominous military
buildup in that tinderbox.

AS the conference opens in
Geneva, President Eisenhower
has been picked by his associ-
ates to espouse a lost cause.
For unless all signs are mis-
leading, the one issue on which
the conference will fail--and
it is the only first-rank issue
is the problem of German uni
fication. That ball has been
handed to the President to
carry.
The British Prime Minister
will take UP the problem Of
world trade The French Pre-
mier will defend Western
views on disarmament. To
President Eisenhower will be
assigned the defense of West
ern policy toward Germany.
There are wide areas of
agreement between the Rus
slams, the British, and the
French, on the first two ques-
ticns. On these there is q con-
siderable possibility Of "relax-
ing tensions" But on the mat.
ter Of how and under what
conditions a divided Germany
can be reunited there is no
agreement at all. The Rus:
