To the extent that we encour-

East Germany is a hostage in
the cold war that the Russians
can and will hold indefinitely,
or relinquish only in return
for drastic concessions involv.
ing a further retreat of NATO.
Such retreats are voluntarily
possible only If mutual.
When the cold war is &C
tually as sharp as ever, the
"open skies" proposal, even If
it were only partially accepted,
is unlikely to relax tensions.
1t can very easily exacerbate
them by leading to charges and
countercharges. Certainly the
American public will not trust
the RuSsians-or if it does, it
will then wonder what the
cold war is all about!

Disarmament Is Given Little Chance
Of Easing Pressures of Cold War

DR.. Adenauer's recent visit
to the United States high
lighted a chicken and egg dis
cussion that is not new in
diplomatic history: Does an
arms race cause international
tension, or does the tension
occasion the arms race? Would
disarmament of itself con-
tribute to ease tensions, or
must it await a settlement Of
basic political disputes?
This column inclines to the
latter view. The arms race is
a result and not a cause. 1t
is an inevitable accompani-
ment of the cold war.
The cold war, in turn, is
due to the enormous gains
made by the Soviet Union at
the expense of Europe during
and after World War II-with
the cooperation Of the West
ern allies; the shockingly
rapid decline and fall of the
Western empires in the East;
and the emergence thereby of
a two-power world, in which

problems that change: the prin-
cipleS do not.
Let us look at several ex-
amples.
Education
The principle: education is
vital to free government and is
a local matter: the Federal Gov
eminent should do only what
has to be done toward provision
of adequate education that
State and local governments
cannot do and which will never
allow the Federal Government
to be a controlling factor.
One application a hundred
years ago: the Land Grant Act
sponsored by Congressman JUS
tin Smith Morrill,, one Of the
organizers of the Republican
Party of Vermont. That Federal
act made possible the growth of
higher education in many places
where it otherwise would have
had great difficulty.
The application today: emer-
gency Federal help to assist the
States to knock out a school,
room deficit resulting from the
national II not local - disasters
of depression and war.

of depression and war.
IMutuuI Aid
The principle: Concern for tn,
fate of other nations, and tn,
conviction that our prosperity
at home is aided by two-wa,
trade with flourishing fret
economies abroad.
The application in Presiden
McKinley's time: here are hi,

Now, although we are agrees
on our underlying principles
when we try to apply them
to a fast-changing and highly
complex world, it is not sur.
prising that we develop amonr

sive unit.
We have been talking Of big wars,
which don't believe will happen. Now,
what about the little wars? These are
the wars we've known in the last decade.
These are the wars we may well know in
the next. These are the wars that require
immediate deployment by mobile force.
Americans have been asking questions
of their Navy. Now the Navy would like
to ask some questions of America.
When US. forces were all but pushed
off the tip Of South Korea in the early
months Of that Little war, who sailed
up the coast to Inchon, landed Marines
and broke the back Of the extended
North Korean Army?
Who ended the imminent threat of
Chinese invasion Of Formosa?
Who removed 3OO,O 600 refugees from
North Wet Nam when the Communists
moved in there?
More recently. who evacuated 5000
US. citizens from the Suez fighting
zone? And, only few months ago. who
sailed for the eastern Mediterranean to
help stabilize situation which threat
ened the independence Of Jordan?
Who else but the Navy, in every case?
Who else could have done the job? A
Navy can move its power around. 1t is
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-07-28

the only force that doesn't have to
invade country to make its point. Thus
it does not get us involved. 1t does not
depend on foreign power allowing it
to set up shop on its territory; it can do
its job cruising offshore.
If we narrow our military strength to
one channel, say the Intercontinental
Ballistic Missile, we simplify Russia's
operation. To take an extreme case, if
we were to prepare only for an about
war, we could conceivably be forced into
a position Of choosing between capitu-
lating over another Korea or Formosa
or accepting a nuclear holocaust. More
over, capitulation would increase the
danger of war at later date, when the
enemy would be stronger.
A Balanced Military Force
There will probably be many localized
fiare-ups in our lifetime. The USSR and
Red China want to separate Japan from
the Free World. midas Communist
Party feeds on the country's poverty.
IndoneSia's restless Communists look
for control. We want to help Indonesia
keep her independence. She is an island
country; the only way the Soviets can
reach her is by sea. We control the sea.
No one can be sure what is going to
happen in our divided world. We must
be prepared to deal with all kinds of
problems, the instant they arise. And we
think the Navy, as part Of balanced
military force, is needed for that job,
today more than ever. - The End

Here's What Il
Takes To Sink
a Carrier

noises If it homes on sound. And we
have some other tricks that ! can't talk
about.
To eet a carrier, the so-called sitting
duck" you must first find it. A sitting
duck is q duck that can't swim. So you
can sec what a miSnomer that turns out
to be. Our carriers are not like fixed
land targets whose exact locations are
known and unchangeable. Ships can
move, swiftly and evasively.
But let's concede that task force is
found and its location accurately trans
mitted, and that an attack is launched
against il. Keep in your mind that ocean
area the size Of New York State. with
the carriers in the center.
Obstacle Course
Whoever comes at it must go through
our long-ranee fighters. Then through
our picket ships. Then through our Air
Early Warning system. Then through
our overhead patrol Of fighters from the
carriers. Then through our missile ships.
Then the missiles Of supporting ships.
And finally the close air defense Of the
carriers themselves.
If they've gotten through all Of that,
and their aim is good, sure, they'll get a
carrier.
But does this make the Navy obso-
lete? hardly think so. Admitting that
carrier can be sunk does not imply that
il already is. Nor does the admission
detract from the three indispensable con-
tributions a Navy : and nothing else
