Practically every piece of

partial relaxation of world
tension. our allies tell us. And
in this they are strongly sup
ported by Moscow. which made
its views clear by the an
nouncement that peace in
Europe and Asia has become
indivisible.
Neither President Eisen-
hover nor Secretary Dulles is
willing to consider yielding on
the Formosan issue.
But how long the admin
istration will be able to with
stand the diplomatic brain
washing" it has been subjected
to for the last year by our
Western allies is difficult to say.
Some strange reasoning has
come to the fore in recent
months in conversations be-
tween American and European
diplomats. For instance, some
of our European friends have
pointed out casually that the
great mistake made by Prime
Ministers Chamberlain and
Daladier was not in signing
the Munich pact which could
have assured peace in our
time, but in taking up the
cudgels on such insignificant
questions as Danzig and Po-
, land. After having sacrificed
Czechoslovakia. they say. the
Premiers should have gone
further and accepted the sur
render of Danzig and agreed
to a fourth partition of Po-
land.
Peace is a precious thing,
the European diplomats say.
and if small nations have to
be sacrificed on its altar it
is worthwhile. On a mistaken
sense of international honor,
they say, Britain and France
went to the rescue of Poland
whose existence was very shaky
anyhow, and the world was
thus plunged into an unprece-
dented war. They say Cham
berlain and Daladier's "crimes"
did not consist of yielding to
Hitler's military might at

There Is more activity in
preparation for the Big Four
talks this summer than ap-
pears on the surface.
While the United States is
cautious about the meeting
and with good reason-our
Western European allies are
enthusiastic. Their problems
are much different from ours.
The administration has not
failed to note recent Moscow
broadcast stating without at
tribution to any specific
spokesman: Peace in Asia and
Europe has become truly in
divisible since the emergence
of the Chinese Peoples Repub-
lie with its 900 million inhabi-
tants as a first-class power"
This means that if we want
a relaxation of world tension
we must pay the price by
'pensioning" Chang Kai-shek
and handing over Formosa and
the offshore islands to the
Communists, thus weakening
our defense arc in the Pacific.
A number of policymakers
in Washington seem sure that
the Russians will demand that
Chou En-lai be brought into
the picture at the Big Four
meeting and that our Western
European allies will support
them. Our allies feel this is
essential to any relaxation of
tension.
AS a sop to America, the
Russians may agree to Chan
cellor Adenauer participating
in the second" meeting which
will be materially more impor-
tant than the one which is now
being openly discussed.
European chancelleries are
saying that there is no war
threat in Europe at the pres
ent time. But the situation is
explosive in Asia where the
Chinese Nationalist forces,
backed by the 7th Fleet, are
facing an imposing Chinese
Communist force backed by the

Shock of Belgrade Conference AT Summit
Could Have Been Predicted for West

BONN May 18-Something
of the alarm which has swept
Europe since Moscow an
nounced that there would be
q conference "at the summit"
in Belgrade between Bulganin
and Khrushchev, on the one
hand, and Marshal Tito on
the other is expressed in a
cartoon on the front page OF
Die Welt, a leading newspaper
here. It shows Marshal Tito in
uniform with the Stars and
Stripes as an insignia on one
shoulder and the hammer and
sickle of Soviet Russia on the
other, with this caption: "Will
he wear them on both shoul-
ders?"
There can be no doubt that
the whole Western alliance has
received a shock over some
thing which they should long
ago have suspected. For in the
last year and a half the steady
campaign carried on by Mos
cow to win Tito back to the
fold has been revealed in a
series Of moves which were
minimized in the West but
which finally bore fruit.
It is true that Tito has re-
assured the Western democ-
racies that he has no inten-
ton of abandoning his ties
with them, but what has not
yet been disclosed Is that he
may not be able to control
his own destiny and that the
break with the West may
develop anyhow.
Here in Bonn, where they
know a good deal about Yugo-
slav affairs and where they
tend to look on the situation
in the Balkans with a certain
detachment now that Austria
has been neutralized, the re-
ports are conflicting concern
ing the origin and purposes of
the Bulganin mission to Bel
grade. Yugoslavs here insist
that there will be no discussion
about a resumption of ideolog-
ical ties but only about prac-
tical problems in the diplo-

much else. They are in a
minority in Congress and
that minority is split between
an effective right wing ham,
pered by the party's need for
Mr.. Eisenhower and a pro-
Eisenhower wing hampered by
it's own lack Of political mo-
tive.
Within the States the Dem
ocrats have been winning
nearly every race since the
name Of Eisenhower dropped
from the top of the ticket.
The striking proof of this
resurgence consists of the nine
governorships Democrats have
wrested from Republicans.
Nothing therefore should
surprise anyone about Repub-
lican strategy. What does seem
extraordinary is the extent to
which these same resurgent
Democrats are helping it
along.
1t is. in fact, the Demo-
cratic leadership in Congress
which makes it possible for
Republicans to run a popu-
larity contest next year in

No G. O. p. Alternative to Eisenhower;

they like, but the official Re-

party itself and the issues with
which it is traditionally iden-
titled are viewed as secondary
if not actually irrelevant.
Efforts are already under
way to suppress differences of
opinion among Republicans.
They are being urged to hold
off and come to the aid of vic
tory next year.
The effect of all this is to
transform the next presiden-
tial election into a grand popu-

In answer to our objections
that we cannot sell some 8

defenses would suffer immeas-

told that peace is universal

Once the Legitimate" ma
tional aspirations of Red
China have been satisfied, our
allies say, there is no likeli-
hood of any particular ten
sion in the Pacific to demand
a strong peripheric defense
arc such as we now have.
We are urged to weigh these
considerations against un-
leaShing an armed clash in the
Pacific for the sake of living
up to treaty commitments.
There is no indication the
administration has been soft
ened by these arguments. But
this kind of diplomatic brain
washing could affect our pol
icymakers If it is continued
for long in the present strong

Moscow Puts Tito on Lettering Fence

atomic weapons and the weak
ening Of the Western armies by
a hoped-for program of neu-
tralization. to include Ger
many.
Behind the scenes in all this
is the crafty hand of Nehru
and his stooge, Krishna Me-
non. 1t was Indian diplomacy
that brought Tito to New
Delhi a few weeks ago and
q trade-union delegation of
Yugoslavs to Peiping. After
the India visit, Tito proclaimed
his belief in the necessity of
admitting Red China to the
United Nations. and his public
declarations were completely
at variance with what he
knew to be the policy of the
United States.
Any true friend of the West
would not have picked out
unnecessary issues for a pub
lie statement. especially when
it was known the viewpoint
would be accepted widely as
a criticism of United States
policy.
The true story Of what is
happening inside Yugoslavia
has yet to be told. There are
evidences that Moscow has
been conducting an intrigue
among the hard-core Commu-
nists in Belgrade, faithful to
the Soviet Union, who were
recently released, and that.
due to internal politics, Tito
has found himself compelled
to accept the friendly gestures
of the SovietS, who are persua-
sively arguing that they are
not asking him to become an
ally and to line up against
the West, but merely to stay
neutral, just as Austria is and
as the Communists hope to
persuade a reunited Germany
to be.
These are anxious times for
the West in the "cold war"
and a counteroffensive boldly
calling for the liberation of
all the satellite states is GER
tainly needed.

Something momentouS is
happening in Moscow, and
hope the West will be able
to deal with it.
The projected visit of four
top-level Soviet functionaries
to Belgrade appears to this
columnist as perhaps the most
significant event of the past
few days, filled as they have
been with intense diplomatic
activity.
Nothing indicates a more
thorough reversal of Soviet
foreign policy. Tito's visitors
are Premier Bulganin, Nikita
Khrushchev, first deputy pre-
mier; Anastas Mikoyan, lead
ing Soviet functionary in
foreign trade, and Andrei
Gromyko, next in command to
Molotov in foreign affairs.
Consider the denunciation of
Tito by the whole Cominform
until only a short time ago,
and the crisis that he created
in the Soviet and international
Communist world. in Moscow,
Warsaw, Prague, Budapest,
Bucharest, and Sofia!
Tito's heresy was to assert
that Communist states could
be independent of Moscow, and
neutral in a cold or hot war.
The mere suspicion that Ger
tain Communist leaders in the
satellite states shared this view
led to wholesale arrests and ex-
ecutions. The American Com
munist sympathizer Noel Field
was caught in the network.
Clements, SlanSky and other
Czechoslovaks were executed.
The Polish leader Gomulka dis
appeared into obscurity.
After the death of Stain the
executions were halted, pris-
oners. including the Fields,
were released, and Tito was
recently received with acclaim
in Moscow.
But 1T is still an unheard-of
gesture that four leading So
Wet functionaries should visit
the capital of a small state
that had def1ed Kremlin pol
icieS.
AS with Austria, the gesture
says: You are welcome to you
independence provided you
don't join any military alli-
ance hostile to the Soviets.

lin and the satellite states have

Others say that the meeting
is basically theological because
there has been q steady infil-
tration by Moscow Commu-
nists In Belgrade In recent
months, and it is pointed out
that Walter Ulbricht. leader of
the Communist Party in East
Germany. soon is to make a
trip to confer with leaders in
Belgrade.
What it all seems to add up
to is a definite effort on the
part of Moscow to swing Tito
away from the West, even
though he may not allow him.
self to become a puppet of
Moscow. So far as the Soviet
Union is concerned. it may well
be content with the addition
Of Yugoslavia to the neutral
belt which has been started
with the successful detach-
ment Of Austria from the West.
Once q bloc of buffer states
from the Mediterranean to the
Baltic has been established,
the Soviet regime can we'll
afford to offer to pull back her
own troops and insist that
American troops go home.
Western Europe would then be
at the mercy of a gigantic land
army of Russians which could
become supreme, especially if
Soviet propaganda succeeds in
persuading the West to give up
atomic weapons of mass de-
Struction.
So the Soviet aim now is to
spend the next three or four
years in what looks outwardly
like a relaxation of tension but
which actually means a deter
mined effort to win by a "cold
war" certain vantage points
that are necessary for the So
Wet conquest Of Europe In
later years.

The purpose. it seems to me

ing was held in relative quiet.
Guest speaker was Probate Judge
Joseph S. King, who spoke on the
laws governing juvenile delinqu-
ency. The Judge pointed out that
since the juvenile is not always to
blame for the delinquency, the law
permits the officials to use a great
deal of discretion in dealing with
offenders, allowing them the op-
portunity to correct their mistakes.
The matron of the Children's
Home, Mrs. 10 Andrews, pointed
out what children can do for furni-
ture, and that there was always a
need for furniture items at the
home. All donations would be ap-
preciated.
