The summit conference OPEN
ing tomorrow in Geneva signals
| a new phase In the cold war that
win last for months and possibly
for years. It will be q grueling
test Of Western sticking power.
This new phase Of the cold war
might well be labeled ciyiliza-
tion's last chance. The shadow
of the hydrogen bomb hovers
over the scene as the leaders of
two worlds meet face to face in
Ia decisive moment Gaping 10
years Of grim political struggle.
One phase Of the struggle is
about over. There appears to be
Ia sober recognition by the Krem-
lin that postwar Stain policies
built a stone wall Of resistance
I'm the West to further expansion
|of the Soviet system.
It would be q grave risk, how
ever, for the West to assume this
means the Krernlin has re-
formed. The new phase Of the
struggle requires new methods
and q new approach. The Krem-
lin still knows how to wait, and
la victory Is no less q victory II
1t Is achieved by Elandishments
and persuasion rssiler than by
threats and force.
Prepares for Siege
The Soviet Union now is tell
ling Its people that while 1t

Everything to building its war

The summit meeting Of Pres
lident Eisenhower. Prime Minister
Eden, Premiere Faure and Pre-
Imier Bulganin may amount to
little more than an exchange OF
viewpoints. It is only the begin
ming. For a long time after the
conference, diplomats and spe-
lcial agencies Of the United Ma
ltions viii wrestle with problems
handed down from the pinnacle.
The meeting is Of utmost i'm
lportance to the Kremlin. Moscow
wanted 1t badly. Much diplomatic
thinking in Central Europe has
been that If the West did not
propose the meeting first, the
Kremlin would have sought ways

diplomatic maneuvers-in Aus

Ielsewhere-have pointed that

ried Western overt1res for a

level. The Russians did this
usually by ringing In Red China.
But when Moscow recovered its
balance. it agreed to q meeting
of foreign ministers In Berlin,
The Russians remained adamant
in their refusal to yield an Aus

the discussion of divided Ger

lin meeting led to the later one

venture was endangering world

"COexistence" Lure
The Geneva meeting raised
hopes that there was some sub
stance In Soviet talk Of peace
full coexistence." Moscow began
to take full advantage Of it in a
powerful propaganda campaign
offering strong lures to nations
Of Europe and the Far East. The
campaign is still going on. and
its impact can hardly be denied.
The Russians capped the drive
by offering to meet some Of the.
Vests demands regarding dis
armament. They also proposed
a collective security pact for
Europe. Theoretically it would
center the might Of all nations
against any aggressor. The catch
was that after reduction of
forces and prohibition Of nuclear
weapons, the Soviet Union would
the most powerful force
on the continent and could con-
tinue to exert the great influence
stemming from such power.
Germany, however, was the
real center Of Soviet attention.

Prayers for peace and sue

today in Washington and

Mr.. Eisenhower, before taking
OF for the conference, had APP

a quick response.
Some clergymen had already
set up special services and pray
prayers for today; others
changed plans or inserted spe-
cial appeals to God for peace.
Prayers in Synagogues
In Washington. the Fedora

earlier this week an appeal for
special prayers for success Of the

The Very Rev. Msgr. Philip M.

PARIS, July l6.-The United
States, Britain and France won
solid support from their Atlantic
allies today for q determined
drive at Geneva to get Russia to
shift to Vnification of Germany
on Westefn terms.
Secretary of State John Foster
Dulles, British Foreign Secretary
Harold MCMILLAN and French
Foreign Minister Antoine Pinay
outlined their plans at q North
Atlantic Treaty council meeting
as their last act before going to
the summit conference.
Worlds No. / Problem
Persons In the meeting said
ministers Of the other II NATO
nations agreed with the Big
Three that Germany's future is
the No. problem in the search
for peace.
A dozen foreign ministers
spoke. All made clear that the
unification they want Is one
which would leave all Of Ger
many free to belong to the At
lantic alliance. as West Germany
now does.
Russia has consistently refused
any solution of the German
problem that would leave q
United Germany linked to the
west.
At Geneva Soviet Premier
Nikolai Bulganin Is expected to
ask for naturalization of Ger
many. This the western powers
have already rejected.
The reality Of the situation,
therefore. is that on this key
issue Russia and the western
powers are tightly deadlocked on
the eve Of Geneva. Furthermore,
the future Of Germany is such
q high stake that no one be-
heves the deadlock viii be easily
broken.
Allies May Offer Guarantees.
According to plans made by
their foreign ministers. President
Eisenhower. Prime Minister Eden
and Premier Faure are prepared
to offer the Russians induce
ments and security guarantees II
they viii eventually agree to
unity Germany and allow it to
associate with the West.
They are prepared to guar
antee that East Germany. under
such conditions. would never be
used as q base against the Soviet
Union but would instead be de-
militarized.
As Western officials see 1t.
such a guarantee would be In
line with broader European
security arrangements by which
the whole level Of armed forces
on both sides in Europe would
be reduced.
Such q reduction in the arms
burden Is believed by Mr.. Eisen-
hover and Mr.. Dulles to be one
Of the specific results that Rus
sia wants from the summit con-
ference and the negotiations
which are expected to follow it,
Therefore. according to western
plans. further negotiations may
be carried on at the same time
on European security and Ger
man unification. Premier Bull
ganin viii be asked to agree tOl
that arrangement.
Smaller Nations Join II 81
Informants said today's NATOl
meeting brought agreement Of
all IL smaller countries to major
projects Of the Big Powers at
Geneva. However, they said itl
also was apparent that repre-
sentatives Of the smaller powers
would have liked more extended
consultation and a greater voice
In the planning.

| BONN, Germany, July 16 Up.
Chancellor Adenauer and
Socialist opposition leader Erich
lOllenhauer jointly informed the
lbig powers today that q cold war
settlement without German un-
iity is totally unacceptable. !"
On the eve Of the Big Four
conference at the summit in
Geneva, the two leaders. In .
rare demonstration Of political
cooperation, declared this is
Ione issue on which all Germans
can rally.
Mr.. Adenauer and Mr.. Ollen-
hauer. the two top political
Headers in West Germany. spoke
before an attentive session Of
tthe Bundestag (lower Ssouse)
shortly before it passed a. bill
L to call up the first volunteers
for the new West German army
this year.
Attack Soviet Proposal
Bitter political opponents for
years. Mr.. Adenauer and Mr..
Ollenhauer united In attacking
the Soviet Unions proposal this
week for a European security
system to include both West
Germany and Communist East
Germany.
Speaking slowly and solemnly, /
79-year-old Mr.. Adenauer de-
|clared:
"The creation Of q European
security system on the basis Of
the division Of Germany is to-
tally unacceptable to the Ger
mans. Such q system would per-
petuate for q wholly unpredict-
able time the division Of Ger
many. This would provide no
security for Europe"
Socialist Support
The stochy, White-haired Mr.
Ollenhauer- -arch opponent Of
MIR. Adenauer's pro- Western for
eign policy then took the floor
to say:
I'VE Socialists share the views
of the Chancellor that . Euro
pean security system which aims
at maintaining the partition Of
Germany would be unacceptable
for the German people. A way
can and must be found to unite
Germany peacefully"
Referring to the Geneva par
ley. Mr.. Ollenhauer said, "The
time has now come to negotiate
the peaceful unification Of Ger
many. the four powers must
abandon attempts to incorporate
the two parts Of Germany into
East and West military systems"

sion Of West Germany in the
