possibly this year.
The antics Of the French
have alienated from us the
bulk Of the German people,
who until a year ago saw more
advantages in siding with the
West than In listening to Mos
cows sweet words. The Ger

disillusioned with the Western
craftsmanship and might rate

eventuality we might just as

In Western Europe.
Japan is important to our
defenSes in the West Pacific.
There is no saying what will
happen after 1t signs a treaty
of peace and amity with the

neutral. The Tokyo govern

have to swerve away from the

featured nationalism will be-
come more rampant than it is
now and despite the treaty we
have with Japan the demands
of the Japanese nationalists
for withdrawal of American
forces from their territory and
evacuation of Okinawa will be-
come very loud and pressing.
In the last 10 years we have
shown ourselves willing to bar
gain for peace. A Soviet
backed Japan could make its
demands strongly felt in WASH
ington on the basis that Oki-
nawa is, after all, Japanese
territory. And these are be-
lieved in Washington to be the
ultimate aims of the military
oligarchy which is in the
Kremlin saddle. It will take

The real beneficiary Of the

for 1856 is Vice President
Nixon. Members of the White
House staff are aware that
those who question Mr.. Nixon's
value to the ticket are not con-
fined to Democrats. It is be-
ing quietly said that a Presi-
dent who will be 66 when
renominated for a second term
should have a Vice President
who enjoys more widespread
acceptance over the country.
A convention in Mr.. Nixon's

less apt to dump him. An at

so but at the moment it seems
less likely.
It has still to be seen how

for it that communications

a certain amount of work must

The speeches in the U. N. are

The object of a debate. and
its only value, Is to search for
an area Of agreement accept
able to participants and listen
ers because it conforms to logic
and reason. Such have been
the great parliamentary de-
bates in the past.
It is essential to a true de-
bate that the participants
agree on definitions of terms.
If this is not clear in advance,
or becomes unclear in the
course Of the debate, it is nec-
essary to clear it up, then and
there, before proceeding further
to inquire, Exactly what do
you mean by that phrase or
expression?"
For If one debater does not
know what the other is talking
about, he cannot talk back
with any relevancy.
But in the U. N. each gets
up and speaks his piece; it is
arranged in advance who
among the major participants
will support whom. The two
sides talk past each other, as
though no other viewpoint is
tolerable. No view Of the one
is conceded any merit by the
other. and so the whole per-
formance Is futile. 1t cannot

fed with the state power
I'VE also should keep that
distinction in mind. The time
may come-and I believe that
it will come-when Russians
of stature will patriotically put
first their national security
and the welfare Of their own
people. They will be unwilling
to have that security and that
welfare subordinated to the
worldwide ambitions of inter-
national communism. If their
point of view should prevail,
then. indeed, there could be a
basis for worthwhile negotia-
ton and practical agreements
between the United States and
the new Russia. Then there
might be reactivated the his
toric friendship between our
countries and our peoples"
The foregoing paragraphs
constitute a masterpiece of
diplomatic expression and
could have tremendous influ-
ence on the course of world
affairs if they are given the
emphasis abroad that they
deserve.
For it will be noted that Mr..
Dulles plainly calls for a re-
awakening Of Russian patriot
ism. a return to the spirit of
national pride which enabled
the government of Moscow in
past generations to play a vital
role in the maintenance of the
peace of Europe.

Most OF the emphasis In the
news nowadays is on the Far
East, so 1t is natural that the
discussion on Wednesday night
by Secretary of State Dulles
about the islands off the coast
of China received primary at
tention, but the fact is there
was something far more SEN
sational to be read between the
lines of the same address. It
was the subtle yet deliberate
approach to the people Of So
Wet Russia over the head IT
the existing government.
In times like these, speeches
by the Secretary of State are
not casual affairs. They have
their genesis in memoranda
prepared after many hours of
consultation by planning staffs
and specialists in particular
fields of international affairs.
So what Mr.. Dulles said to the
people of Soviet Russia-for
his speech was widely broad
cast throughout the worlds
especially significant because of
its deliberateness. He declared
with respect to the recent re-
pudiation of Malenkov as Pre-
mier::

in part an elemental. personal
struggle for power. But also
one can perceive the outlines
of a basic policy difference.
There must, in Russia, be
those who are primarily con-
cerned with the welfare. the
security and the greatness of
the Soviet Union and its peo-
pie. But there are others who
would have the Soviet Union
and its power serve primarily
as a tool of international COM
munism and as a means Of
achieving its worldwide ambi-
tions. These two ends, the one
symbolized by the state and
the other by the (Communist)
party, do not always coincide.
