Indicates that the Geneva spirit
has soured to the extent that it
lis no longer considered a poIit-
ical asset.
If this is true it would not
mean return TO the cold war
It would mean an end to the era
lin which a studied optimism has
been the most significant feature
of Western policy and perhaps
the beginning of q search for a
more realistic basis on which to
plan for the future.
MIR. Dulles attitude toward a
new conference has puzzled q
great many observers here. From
the beginning it had been the
firm assumption of virtually
every veteran State-side corre-
spondent that this conference
couldn't fail. Although no i'm
Iportant agreements were ex-
Ipected, 1t was assumed that at
the very least enough would be
Isalvaged to plan a new meeting
later on.
Obvious Reasoning
The reasoning was obvious:
Whatever doubts might exist as
Ito the benefits Of the Geneva
spirit to the free world as a
whole, there was no doubt at all
as to its political value in an
election year. Whatever the
practical results, it was felt q
resolute effort would be made to
draw the most optimistic con-
,clusion.
Mr.. Dulles. to be sure. has not
meekly accepted any such inter-
Ipretation Of his role here. He
and his advisors have reacted

Iascribing political motives To his
Imaneuvers during the confer
lence. Never one TO extolI with
much enthusiasm the blessings
Iof the Geneva spirit. he has
been angered by the charge that
The is in any way serving politi-
lcal interests Of the administra-
ition. Since these stories ap-
peared. relations between the
American delegation and the
press have been noticeably chilly.
BY no means everyone has
subscribed to the cynical view
THAT the Western ministers have
been motiyated here largely by
domestic political considerations.

enough to sustain themselves.
They would not sacrifice and COM

Any group who will not work, sac
