that the United States needs
the help OF the allies there
more than the Europeans
need the help Of the United
States. This has been derived
from the mistaken theory
that. until the intercontinen-
tai missile is developed. the
United States must rely on
forward bases In Europe TO
retaliate with intermediate
range missiles.
The fact Is that all kinds
Of weapons. including our big
fleet Of strategic bombers. are
necessary for the common
defense. Rumors that some
European countries might
bargain for more economic
aid from America before
granting permission for the
United States TO use missile
bases abroad do not give
credit to the good sense Of
the military men who con-
stitute the stats Of the NATO
countries.
The military situation is
such that. unless Europe has
intermediate missile bases
soon. the Soviets will grow
more arrogant In their STRAIT
egy Of penetration and will

Germany and other members
Of the alliance. particularly
the Scandinavian countries.
and this could all add up to
a substantial victory for the

1t is. therefore. news of

that q schedule Of perform
ance on the intercontinental
missiles has been disclosed to
the world. America has had
some hard luck with her
tests. But In the next two
years there will be more
and more heard about the
missiles that the United
States has been developing.
There seems to be more con-
fidence than ever now that
success Is ahead.
II America really concen-
trates on the job. as It has
begun TO do. 1t may surprise
the world on the missile
front. For there are all kinds
OF missiles in the laboratory

when more tests are held. we
shall perhaps be hearing a
paraphrase Of an old slogan:

siles are built. America win

Opposite Attitudes on Defense Arms

that we approach the Krem-

Allies in Europe and Far East

In the last few years the
NATO burden has fallen
mainly on America. France
transferred her forces TO fight
in Algeria; Britain cut down
her military establishment for
economy's sake: Germany full
filled less than one-third Of
her commitment and the
Nordic states not only reduced
drastically their already small
military power but became
reluctant to allow us to place
deterrent weapons on their
territory.
The situation became
much worse after the launch
ing Of the Sputniks and the
disclosure that we were be-
hind the USSR in atomic
missiles. It seems that our
Western European allies
have confidence and trust
In. Americas ability to spend
billions for their use but
have little confidence in our
ability TO overcome, II need
be, the might Of interna-
tional communism. Thus the
wind of neutralism which
started to blow over Western
Europe soon after the Korean
armistice has changed. 1t has
become a wind Of appease-
ment similar to that which
existed in the sos when our
European friends insisted on
placating Hitler and Mus
solini. In those days we
were not directly involved.
We merely opposed their
ideologies-sometimes more
than the British and French.
Now we are In the first line
