Long Prley Possible if Held in conodo;;
Some European City Is More Likely
DAVID LAWRENCE

LONDON. June 2.-Selec-
ton Of . place to hold the
four-power conference can
have an important bearing on
the success or failure Of the
meeting itself. For this rea-
son, a conference held In Can
ada-either at Quebec or VAN
couver-ofers the best OPP
portunity for continuous en-,
deavors.
If the conference were held
in Switzerland, President Ell
senhower would be able to at
tend only for the first few days
and could not be expected to
return at frequent intervals, II
at all. But If the conference is
held in Canada, he could par
ticipate whenever the sessions
showed promise Of reaching an
important accord. This is on
the assumption that a meet
ing Eat the summit" is really
intended to develop agree
ments at the top level.
But If the principal work is
to be done by the foreign min
isters afterward and the heads
of the governments are merely
to contribute the window dress
ing, then q meeting in a
European city would probably
be the most dramatic setting
for q show.
It is certain that. II the Pres
ident goes to Switzerland for
the four-power meeting, he
will be invited to visit both
Great Britain and France. From
the American viewpoint-that
is. considering the necessity of
outlining the policies of the
United States in world affairs
"a speech delivered by Mr..
Eisenhower in England and
another in France could have
a powerful effect on public
opinion throughout Europe,
where 1t is most needed.
Unfortunately. addresses by
the President of the United
States. when delivered in
America, are rarely cabled In
full text and, because Of the
faraway psychology, most
newspapers print only brief ex-

to new conquests and adven-
lures. The basic Communist
belief In world conquest and
the spread Of the Marxist-
feminist doctrines all over the
world has not changed In the
slightest. Only the men at the
helm are not sure of them
selves and need time to clean
up house until the power can
be taken over by one who is
strong enough to perfect and
continue the plans Of the two
previous Red dictators. There
is repeatedly more suspicion
among the men In the Krem.
lin than there ever was before.
It is In the cards that the free
world may witness In q rela-
lively short time an unprece-
dented dog-eat-dog act. But
in the meantime. the members
of the Red directorate conspire
cautiously. They cannot jockey
for position with major inter-
national problems in Europe
on their hands.
Mr.. Molotov is not In the way
as a possible contender for the
Red mantle. But he represents
a school Of diplomatic thought
acquired under Stain. This no
longer serves the purposes Of
the men who are temporarily
crowding and sharing Sta
Inns throne" Another name

If Mr.. Eisenhower spoke in
Europe, his addresses would do
more good than q whole years
output Of American comments
from sources Of lesser impor-
tance.
A visitor to Great Britain
Just in advance Of the meet
ing of the four -power confer
ence would enable President
Eisenhower to outline the aims
and objectives of the United
States in world affairs In much
the same way that President
Wilson did before the YER
sailles Conference after the
close Of World War I. The
opportunities for an express
sion of the moral force Of the
American Nation come all too
rarely to an American Presi-
dent. Mr.. Wilson'S only mis-
take was that, after a few adj
dresses, he never sought to in
fluence world opinion again
in behalf Of his ideals but
succumbed to the pressures
Of a small conference at which
the atmosphere of secret bar
gaining and trading deprived
him Of the leverage he had on
world opinion.
Should Mr.. Eisenhower come
to Britain, he probably will be
welcomed as no American
Chief Executive has ever been
before. He would be seen and
heard over television and ra-
dio, respectively, by audiences
numbering in the millions. Also.
this is familiar ground to Mr..
Eisenhower because, as a gen.
eral Of the Army, he launched
from this country the historic
invasion of the Normandy
coast in 1914. His presence
would bring back memories of
the victory insured for Britain
and the liberation achieved for
France. It might also remind
the peoples behind the Iron
Curtain, including those Of the
Soviet Union, that 1t was the
solidarity Of the wartime alli-
ance which made possible the
defeat Of the common enemy.

Hoover Holds Informers
Essential Security Aid

in a signed editorial in the FBI's
Law Enforcement Bulletin.
He made no direct reference
to some renewed criticism of the
confidential informer system,
which followed the recent action
of the former Communist, Har-
vey Matusow, and other ex-Reds
who have recanted sworn testi-
mony given as Government wit
neSseS.
The Federal Government is
currently defending in the Su-
prerne Court its asserted right to
protect sources of confidential
information in reviewing en-
ploye security.
The criminal and subversive
underworld has long sought to
destroy our effective informant
system" Mr.. Hoover wrote.
Nothing could possibly render
more aid to the enemy than the
premature and unwarranted dis
closure Of these vital sources of
information. Appearance as a
witness In q court of law is GER
tainly a most logical time for
revealing the identity Of an in
formant. -.

Experience demonstrates that
the cooperation Of individuals
who can readily furnish accu-

Foreign Minister Moltotov,
the remaining wheelhorse Of
what diplomats are now prone
to describe as the "old Soviet
type dictatorship" Is about
ripe for removal from the Of

of several months, the man

after he has made his last
official appearance in June at
the tenth anniversary Of the
birth Of the United Nations
In San Francisco.
A number of incidents have
pointed to the fact that MIR.
Molotov has outlived his use
fulness in the Soviet hierarchy.
Last February, while Marshal
Tito was in India, the Soviet
Foreign Minister made a speech
before the Supreme Soviet
reminding it of the crimes"
Of the Yugoslav dictator.
Marshal Tito, upon his return
to Belgrade, made a spicy
reply, which to the astonish-
ment of those who follow the
Soviets' affairs was quoted
fully and commented favorably
on by no less an official mouth
piece than Pravda.
During the negotiations Civ
ing Austria her sovereignty. 1t
was Minister of Economics
Mikoyan who did most Of the
talking at the conference
table. Mr.. Molotov was only
a showpiece who appeared
with the allied foreign min
listers on the balcony in
Vienna to wave to the cheer
ing Austrians. But he had
little, if anything to say at
the conference table.
The clearest indication that
Mr.. Molotov had no more in
fluence in the USSR's foreign
affairs occurred, however, as
far back as last December.
when he said publicly that no
negotiations on the German
and Austrian peace treaties
would be possible after the
ratification Of the Paris trea-
ties. He was soon diSavowed

with a declaration favoring
four-power negotiations. The
Austrian treaty was signed
soon dILerWaIQS.
Diplomatic crystal gazers
read in these developments
not only an early official
demise of Stains pliable sub
ordinate, who conducted Rus
sia's double e-crossing foreign
affairs for is years, but also
a bitter struggle for power
within the uncertain Kremlin
directorate.
Internal difficulties caused
by physical hardships of the
Russian masses and the "fear
of nuclear war" must def
nitely be discounted as the
reason for the present ''sweet-
ness" of the Red leaders.
There are good reasons to be-
lieve that the struggle for
power within the Kremlin has
forced on the Red leadership
its present change Of attitude
and tactics.
A dictatorship cannot be
multiheaded; there can be no
division of power and author
ity in a totalitarian state.

NEW YORK. Sept. 28.-Two
clubs with the best and the worst
World Series records in history
were meeting today in Yankee
Stadium's bright sunshine. but
the odd did not reflect any such
as exists between the
long time records Of the Yankees
and Dodgers. The American
League champions were only 13-

Series and the first game. even
without Mickey Mantle as a
starter.
This was the 21st Series for the
Yankees. who in the past have
won is and lost only 4. For the
Dodgers it was their eighth. with
the Brooklyns still looking for
their first win.
Back in 1915. with a young
Red Sox pitcher named Babe
Ruth helping to grease the skid,
the Dodgers got into a rut from
which they couldn't emerge in
