Soviet Union remains most formi-
dable military power. with more
men under arms than the United
States roughly in the ratio of 4 to
81. an expanding air fleet which
may be gaining on us in its long
range bombing force, large SUBJ
marine fleet, possible headstart
in some categories of guided mis-
Slles. and a substantial if smaller
stockpile of atomic weapons.
Still, the political problem may
no longer be nearly so sharply de-
fined. Quite apart from the recent
changes in the Soviet Union, the
presumed atomic stalemate has OBJ
viously had an unsettling effect on
the stability of alliances. If, further,
1T should appear that forthcoming
dangers may not take the form of
any type of armed attack, one could
expect both slackening of military
effort and a general drift away
from the commitments and obliga-
tons of alliances.
In all probability a world Situa-
ton less dominated by immediate
military dangers would call for
some serious reappraisalS of
American policy, including a re-
consideration of number of
instruments created only with
great effort and difficulty.
This is certainly not to say that
We should have no need Tor alli-
ances or that it would be impossible
TO retain them, but that their pur-
pose. function and scope might well
alter considerably.
This would not necessarily be a
disadvantage. A more flexible or
der OF international politics would
correspond more closely to our view
OF things than does Stains two
camp thesis or the grim bipolarity
OF the earlier postwar years. II will.
OF course, be an advantage only il
1t does not lead to a piecemeal dis
solution Of the nom Communist
world and the progressive encroach-
Hlent oIeLommunlSt power.
New Soviet lmose2
The maintenance or adaptation
OF Americas alliances will certainly
be affected by the image of itself
which the Soviet Union succeeds in
creating in the minds of the rest
of the world.
Despite the Soviet use of naked
force in Hungary. the possibility is
not to be excluded that the Soviet
Union may try increasingly to APP
proximate the image represented by
the popular front of the 1905, an
image which was at that time shat
tered by the great purges and Mos
cows aggressive cooperation with
Nazi Germany. 1t remains TO be
seen whether the world will be pre-
pared to accept this image as a
reality.
But even if the image were au-
thentic, were of some duration. and
were to be accepted at face value,
what is its significance? How

in 1854 to SAG billion in 1855. In
the case of number of countries
--Afghanistan, Egypt. Iran. Turkey
and YugoSlavia-more than 10 per
cent OF their trade is with the
Soviet bloc. AS a further indica-
ton of Soviet activity it is worth
noting that the Soviet bloc in 1855
participated in 149 international
fairs and exhibitions as against
60 in 1854.
Chonoe in Methods
This, of course, points to another
possible change which the United
States must be prepared to meet
the prospect that Soviet influence
abroad will be exerted less through
military pressure, inflltration and
SubverSion Though certainly not
excluding these) than through the
more amiable methods of providing
material benefits. to which hidden
strings may or may not be attached.
In one important respect. of
course. such turn would have its
positive advantage If the energies
OF the Soviet bloc were in fact used,
for whatever motive. to promote
economic development elsewhere in
the world. this could be, in ma
terial terms, a net gain for us as
well as for the recipients OF Mos
cows aid.
All the same. it would be a serious
challenge, not least in the fact that,
to judge from recent experience,
relatively slight Soviet efforts in
this direction bring very consider
able political dividends. The very
fact that what was until recently
a relatively poor country is now
capable of extending foreign aid,
even if in small quantities, is taken
as sign of the success of Soviet
methods.
Hence in this area we may face
a twOfOld competition: First. the
real competition arising from
the continued growth Of the So

Difficulties Aheod
If such apparently peaceful en-
deavors prove to be the chief outlet
Of Soviet dynamism in the next few
years, they may well affect the
maintenance of free-world alliances
and the attractiveness of neutralism
and noncommitment.
So long as the Soviet Union was
primarily a military threat. the
chief problem for the United States
and for other nations was to choose
between two clear-cut, if very diff
cult, alternatives: Whether to par
ticipate in a collective effort to
meet the danger or whether to try
to stay on the sidelines and avoid
embodiment.

problem have not vanished. What

was supported by l48 Republicans
and II Democrats. II was opposed
by 46 Republicans and l46 Demo-
Gratis, yet the bill as amended was
defeated by ll9 Republicans and
los Democrats and supported by
only rs Republicans and ll9 Dem
ocratS.
Accordingly. in the 85th Congress
more than 100 Republican House
members would seem to require
powerful persuasion TO go along
even with the Eisenhower admins
tration bill.
Representative Bailey, Democrat
OF West Virginia, chairman OF the
House subcommittee holding hear
ings. says a suitable measure will
be sent very soon to the full COM
mittee. He predicts compromise.
Practically everyone expects de-
lay before Chairman Barden has
his committee act on bill. and an
even longer spar of time before the
Rules Committee clears a bill. But
influential House members on both
sides believe a bill will be called up
for floor debate this spring. with a
better opportunity for favorable
action than was the case last year.
Its path would be eased consid-
erably II Congress first passes
civil rights bill. But the opposition
is raising issues other than civil
rights: Charges that the proposals
would give Washington too firm a
grip on State school systems and
would be too costly, assertions that
"self-serving" pressure groups are
behind the bills, and claims that
the States can meet their own needs.
