The See-Sowinq Arms Race

Whether America catches up
with or goes ahead of Russia,
the truth is that weapons do
exist which can be used for
such destructive purposes as
to make the employment of
the big bombs and missiles
unthinkable.
What, then, will be the
course Of the power struggle?
1t looks as though the Com
munist strategy will be one
of penetration and infiltra-
ton and the provoking of
local situations, such as have
flared up in Korea. Indo-
China and the Middle East.
Local wars sometimes called
little wars" -evidently can
be fought without the risk of
the larger war. This has
happened three times since
World War II, and the pat
tern set by the Communists
could be followed again.
This Communist technique
may challenge the Western
powers more and more deep
ly. For it will require the ex-
penditure here of vast sums.
not merely for the missiles
and H-bombs, which may
never be used. but also for
conventional weapons which
are expensive and normally
would be dispensed with in
favor of the bombs and mis-
siles.
The strain on the Ameri-
can economy will be severe,
and similarly the burden on
the countries allied with US
will be heavy. There is no
disarmament in sight, no
certainty of peace. There is
every reason to believe that
both sides-West and East
will endeavor to avoid war.
But when hotheads are in
Office, as in the Kremlin. &C
cidents can happen and wars
can be precipitated. That's
the real danger today, and
the world will not be safe for

til there is a free govern
ment in Moscow obedient to
the peaceful will of the peo-
pie.

Politics in the Scientific Problem

means selected, and an issue
that was effective, was to ex-
plot the Korean War and
call it a mistake, even almost
a crime. That was the indict-
ment by the Republicans
against the Democrats. In
keeping with this line of
campaign, there was the
eleventh-hour promise by
Gen. Eisenhower that, if
elected, he would go to Korea
to end the war.
He did 60 to Korea and the
war eventually was ended,
though on terms that were
criticized. The argument
that he had ended the Ko-
rean War and had promoted
peace and prosperity in his
first term was enough to re-
elect by an even bigger land
slide this man who had suf-
fered two serious illnesses.
Now, with the beginning
of the Eisenhower admins
tration, we had a business
mems governm ent that
lacked imagination and was
inclined to subordinate scien-
tific development.
In many ways the climate
was created that shackled
scientists as previously de-
tailed here. There were the
straitjacket security regula-
tons that grew out of the
Mccarthy frenzy: the sub
ordination of the voice and
influence of scientists in
policy and muzzling of scien-
fists who worked for the
Government so they could
not alert the public; the
rivalry among the services
and concentration of each on
pet missile ideas and prof.
ectS instead of a single
minded approach. the bu-
reaucratic ladder that was
almost impossible to scale to
get to the top authority.

It Is hard to remember
when there have been more

threaten the existence Of this

World War II and the pres

Union The similarity is far

Strain on West to Be Severe as d. S.
Catches Up in Missiles and Satellites

Mr.. Dulles now discloses
that the United States will
soon demonstrate that. like
Soviet Russia, this country
has the capacity to put aloft
artificial satellites. He gays
it would be helpful from a
psychological point of view
when America demonstrates
its capacity in that direction.
This is but another way of
saying that the decision has
been made to match Soviet
performance as promptly as
is possible, irrespective of
whether it helps to any de-
gree on the military side.
In the background here, of
course, is not the "Sputnik"
or the magic of dog travel
in outer space but the i'm
portance of intercontinental
missiles as a military weapon.
Disarmament con ferences
have been suspended and the
world is confronted with a
race in deadly missiles. Mr..
Dulles spoke significantly of
the bases available to the
United States in Europe for
MISUNDERSTANDING missiles,
which already have been
proved feasible.
All this adds up to the
fact that militarily the
United States and Soviet
Russia stand out as the two
rivals in the world and that
recent events have, If any,
thing, sharpened the con-
flict that exists between the
two major powers.
The world, to be sure, has
been witnessing for the last
few years a stalemate. It
often has been said that
neither side would start a
war lest this should threaten
such mutual destruction as
to make the idea of war it
self seem utterly unwise
from any standpoint. The
introduction of the intercon-
tinental missile has merely
accentuated the Importance
of the previous stalemate.
