Summit Talks and Achievements

being present. When Mr..
Bulganin says q foreign min
listers conference in advance
Of the summit" m e eting
would be an obstacle because
Of the biased position Of
certain possible participants
in a ministerial conference"
he must have known that
Foreign s Secretary Selwyn
Lloyd of Great Britain and
Secretary Dulles Of the United
States are certain to play as
great a part in a summit"
conference as they would in
a meeting of only foreign
ministers beforehand.
Even if. as now suggested
by Bulganin, the usual
diplomatic channels" are
used to obtain agreement on
the questions to be discussed,
the foreign secretaries of
the Western governments are
bound to direct such proce-
dures. There is no power
that they would exercise at a
foreign ministers conference
which they would not ex-
ercise without such a meet
ing in influencing their SUI
periors to attend or refrain
from attending a summit"
conference.
In reality, the Kremlin is
jockeying for position-try-
ing to get a summit" con-
ference without any advance
indication of a willingness to
make some agreements on
concrete points. But the West
is alert to the maneuver and
will not finally consent to a
summit" conference until
an agreement on something
of substance is in sight.
Meanwhile, before the
world, both sides will con-
tinue to exhibit their respec-
tive eagerness to attend a
summit" meeting and will
hold the other side to be
negative" If it fails to come
through. Once the area of
disagreement is narrowed,
even a little, a summit" con-
ference can be expected be-
fore the autumn leaves of
1858 have dropped from the
trees. The next concession,
therefore. may be expected
from the Kremlin.

Fatal FireCited
In Housing Plea

The Washington Highlands
Citizens Association last night
asked the National Capital
Housing Authority to take ac-
ton on the Highland DWELL
ings, a low-rent project.
Last December, two tenants
lost their lives in a fire in the
development. which was built
in 1941 to alleviate the war;
time housing shortage.
The association requested
that money be budgeted to
bring the substandard houses
up to the District Building
Codes qualifications.
Rents originally ran around
$35. but since the development
was transferred from wartime
housing to low-rent housing,
the rents have increased to al
most twice as much.

posals for "disengagement"
or withdrawal of American
forces and bases-a scheme
which has been championed
recently by gullible and naive
persons in public life on the
Western side.
The substantial issue of
how the Communist regime
is to be prevented from ex-
ercising military domination
in Europe is one that may be
discussed at a summit" con-
ference, but it is not likely
to get anywhere. There are
lesser issues on which an
agreement might really be
reached, such as the machin-
cry for the control of outer
space, the elimination Of
travel restrictions inside the
countries of the East and
West. and perhaps the set
ting up Of a commission of
major powers to study dis
armament proposals.
If agreement is reached on
only one thing. the admins
tration here would consider
it worthwhile to participate
in a summit" meeting. If.
however, it is apparent from
the beginning that the So
VETS do not intend to agree
to anything. then the prob
abilities are that no confer
ence will be held.
The Soviets, on the other
hand, cannot afford to accept
responsibility before the world
for refusal to give a single
inch in advance of the sum-
NIT" conference. Inste a d,
they may find themselves
compelled to intimate through
diplomatic C hanne els their
willingness to agree on GER
tain points.
The objection raised by
Chairman Bulganin in his
latest letter to participation
in a foreign ministers confer
ence in advance Of the sum-
NIT" meeting is regarded here
as a bit of perverse humor.
For the Soviet government
knows that no summit" con-
ference would be held with

costs mount higher and
higher. The miracle will be
not that we will get a tax
cut, but that the country can
escape a tax rise somewhere
around the level required
during the Korean War.
Many Congressman who
are not on the Armed Serv-
ices Committees know no
more about the threat Of
this Nations security posed
by Soviet scientific and tech
nical progress than is known
by any observant newspaper
reader. But the stark facts
little by little are making
themselves known. We are
moving belatedly to try to
catch up to the Soviet effort
in offensive warfare. We are
far behind the Soviet effort
to nullify our offensive power.
Both are going to cost a great
deal Of money and huge in
vestment Of the national re-
sources.
Businessmen who last year
put such pressure on the Con-
gress for budget cuts APP
parently have read the pa
pers. There is no organized
drive to reduce the budget
this year. There has been no
directed effort to seek a tax
cut, either. Yet the hope for
tax cuts is eternal and there
will always be a politician to
pander to it.

represents exactly what we
have given them last year

It is hard for some of the
Moslem members of the
Baghdad pact to understand
the complexities OF our think
ing and actions. They wone
der. for instance. why the
small and primitive kingdom
of Yemen has more Jet
planes than Iraq. One of the
results is that the Iraqian
government cannot explain to
the satisfaction of its people
why America is not more
liberal with its economic aid.

les can possibly bring 1t
about-but there viii have

Use of achievement.
If the Soviets think that
there is any real reluctance
here about meeting them in
q top-level conference such
as was held in Geneva in 1855.
they are much mistaken.
The President is not afraid
Of the propaganda battle. In
some respects. he welcomes
it. But he sees no point in
going to a meeting which will
merely make pious professions
of peaceful purpose without
doing a single thing actually
to advance the cause Of peace
In the world.
It is beside the point to
argue that the United States
is insisting on q whole pack

not agree to one thing with
out the other. Rather it is
the substance of every pro-
posal that has to be examined
carefully. and there are lots
Of things that can be agreed
to separately without waiting
for any other issues to be re-
solved. The important point
is that the United States does
not want to bar any single
issue from discussion, such
as. for instance. German re-

chance Of agreement with
the Soviets on that subject.
But merely to agree, for

In the face Of an admins
tration budget of STA billion
which is almost certain to end
up a billion or two higher
before Congress is through
with it. tax cut talk has
started in the House of Rep
sentatives.
Even President Eisenhower
has now given the authority
of his Office and prestige to
the idea of a tax reduction.
After last years bitter
fight over a small budget,
Republicans had hoped to
present a lower budget plus a
tax cut to the voters in this
election year. The Soviet
Unions forging ahead in the
missile field ended any chance
of a reduced budget. but tax
cut hopes die hard. There
is even something like a real
excuse for a tax cut this year,
as the President showed. Its
proponents say a reduction
is necessary to combat the
recession in which unemploy-
ment has risen and is not
yet at its peak.
