Setting the Stage

When Soviet Foreign Minister
Gromyko called reporters to his
skyscraper Foreign Ministry in
Moscow on April II to complain
formally that American bombers,
carrying hydrogen bombs, were
periodically flying close to Soviet
territory on radar alerts usually
occasioned by meteor showers"
or flocks of wild geese, American
response was strictly one of de-
NAL. The flights were defensive,
the State Department said.
But the Soviet leaders pressed
their point in the u. N. Security
Council, where Mr.. Sobolev drew
a terrifying word picture of the
consequences of an American mis-
take. 1t was quickly obvious that
the Soviet play was to world
opinion, and not to the Security
Council where the present mem
bership includes no Soviet-aligned
nation. The Sobolev motion for
condemnation was withdrawn be-
fore a vote, and the American
chief delegate, Henry Cabot Lodge,
promptly claimed a diplomatic
victory" for the United States.
Yet there was no victory on the
real issue the appeal of the
Gromyko charges to the world
wide fears of nuclear holocaust.
Belatedly but astutely. the West
undertook to achieve that victory
by exploiting the Moscow charges.
A week ago yesterday, Mr..
Lodge told the Council that an
American proposal for interna-
tional inspection of the Arctic re-
gions, as a guarantee against sur
prise attack such as Russia pur-
portedly feared. would be con-
sidered Tuesday. AS temporary
chairman of the Security Council.
Mr.. Lodge was in a position to
call the plays If not the results.

Snap Decision

History may record that it was
Soviet overconf1dence which gave
the West its opening. Premier
Nikita Khrushchev apparently
made a snap decision when he
ordered his diplomats to launch
a complaint against American
bomber flights over the North
Pole.
The first western reaction in the
U.N. was purely defensive. Ameri-
can delegate Henry Cabot Lodge
simply smothered the complaint.
and Washington seemed satisfied
to let it go at that. Indeed, the Of
fetal line was that great vic
tory" had been scored.
But behind the scenes. more
alert western diplomats saw in the
Soviet move an unparalleled OPP
portunity to go over to the often
sive. Canada and Denmark are
credited with being particularly
persuasive.
Why let the Russians go scot
free? they asked. Why not really
put them on the spot? Why not
confront them with a proposal for
remedial action to eliminate the
danger of accidental war--a plan
for U.N. inspection of the Arctic
skies-and thus make them fish
or cut bait?
This was the move the Kremlin
had not counted on, was not
prepared for. All this week, Sow
let U.N. delegate Arkady Sobolev
floundered pitifully in the Securi-.
ty Council. trying to find a per-
suasive reason for rejecting the
western inspection plan, but total
ly unable to do so. At the end of
the week, he was still fiat on his
face after having dramatized his
obstructive stand with a veto.
Veteran U.N. observers could
not recall quite such a total west
ern propaganda triumph since the
height of the cold war. when it
was commonplace for the Krem-
lin to be in the position before
world opinion of always saying
"nyet."

Pressure on Policy

When Mr.. Khrushchev sees how
seriously his thrust at American
bomber flights has backfired. he
will be under great pressure to
recoup. This kind Of pressure has
altered Soviet policy before, and
conceivably could again.
If a serious negotiations does
begin. its terms of reference will
be startlingly different this week
from what they would have been
last week, 1t will be Moscow COM
ing to the West. not the West
coming to Moscow.
The shape of an ultimate set
Element if and when achieved, will
be profoundly affected by that
fact.

THE NATIONAL SCENE
The Recession: Some Good Siqns

The Nations deepest economic
slump since the depression, DOS
apparently has reached its trough.
Some of its worst phases may al
ready be behind us. That was the
story told by last weeks statistical
indicators of the economic health.
New orders from manufacturers
last month were up by SIS billion,
manufacturers sales rose almost
SIS billion, and the high inven-
tories at factories (Which for
months have contributed to UNI
EMPLOYMENT were reduced by al
most half billion dollars.
The stock market could look
back on a month-long climb. Re-
tail sales, as reported by the Fed
eral Reserve Board, were respond
ing normally, If not spectacularly,
to springtime buying. A 1 per
cent rise over year ago in de-
partment store sales in the week
ended April 26 indicated that the
consumer, cautious for months
now. was in more of a buying
mood.
Unemployment dropped slightly
in April, although there were a
number Of qualifying factors tied
to the figures released by the Com
merce Department last week. The
steel industry, operating at less
than so per cent capacity, last
week planned its first increase in
production in two months.
The new figures brought an
almost audible sigh of relief from
official Washington. If a spring.
time improvement had failed to
develop, there would have been
cause for deep concern and
drastic action. As one Govern

Algerian Moves

Elsewhere in the Arab world,
Morocco and Tunisia moved closer
last week to recognition Of an Al
gerian government-in-exile. In
Tunis and in Rabat, the flag Of
the Algerian rebels was displayed
along with Moroccan and Tunisian
banners. Moroccan King Mo-
manned v and Tunisian President
Habib Bourguiba publicly hailed
the prospect of a three-nation
North African alliance including
independent Algeria. Both in
dictated that establishment of an
Algerian government, even on
Algerian soil. would afford
to France a responsible Algerian
group with which to negotiate an
end to the bloody revolt.
Prospects of immediate negotia-
lions, however. were dim. In Paris.
there were no signs of an early
solution to the government crisis.
Former Premier Rene Pleven yes
terday gave up his efforts to form
a cabinet when the powerful So
cialist party refused him support.
Until President Rene Coty can
pick a successor able to bring to-
gether a political coalition, France
remains in a "caretaker" status
during which no action can DO
taken on the Algerian challenge.

sions," as diplomats call them,
that she was under little or no
pressure to make real concessions.
Virtually all the pressure had
been on the West.
Now, as the result Of a skillful
western counterthrust in the
United Nations Security Council,
the pressure has been shifted onto
Moscow's shoulders. 1t is now the
Russians who have been maneu-
vered onto a sticky wicket"-a
phrase which U.N. diplomats have
borrowed from cricketers to de-
scribe a difficult playing field.

Now the Trough

Although the modern economy
has a considerable resiliency, with
its built-in cushions. it doesn't
have the off-and-on qualities of a
faucet. Since the downturn has
taken nine to 10 months, many of
the economic forecasters expect.
that the time spent in the trough
will continue into the third quarter
Of l958-that is, into late summer
They expect that the economy will
be well along the road back to
health by winter.
The decrease, in unemployment
in April was put at $4,000. COM

There were predictions Thurs
day that the Soviet Union, ever

cept the proposal for international
inspection of the polar region, but
would demand at the same time
the Vests acceptance of the So

tons died Friday when Mr.. Sobo-
lev, speaking sharply in the
tradition OF his Stalinist prede-
cessors, rejected the plan for
Arctic aerial inspection as "a gim-
mick" to enable the United States

the Soviet Unions own allegations
as a point Of departure. Mr.. Lodge
argued for a plan that. he said,
would set all doubts at rest. Let

make certain that no basis or

on either side Of the Pole.

Another Russian Veto

mental the principle OF unani-
nifty" Rejecting both the re-
luctance OF the great powers 70

national body and the recognition
that the interests Of the Commu-
mist and non-communist worlds
were far apart, that principle was
built into the operating rules Of
the Security Council. II has be-
come known as the veto power"
and is enjoyed by all I'VE per-
manent members Of the Council
the United States, the Soviet
Union, Britain, France and Ma
tionalist China.
The veto has been exercised by
each power except the United
States. Almost all have been is

years when the brilliant and bitter
Andrei Vishinsky represented
Moscow at the U. NJ, or the dour

Foreign Minister.
Last week the Soviet Unions
chief delegate to the U. NJ, Arkady
A. Sobolev, cast the SD Russian
veto. The circumstances were, for
the first time in many months.
harmful to Moscow's position in
world opinion. Accustomed to al
most a full year Of success in the
propaganda war, the Soviet Union
faced q situation quite familiar
to Secretary Of State Dulles: The
adversary had achieved, for the
moment at least. a clearly favor
able position on the chessboard Of
international politics.
The United States coup was
late in coming. and may yet turn
out to be something less than
conclusive. But American diplo-
macy. aided by almost all the
other members of the Security
Council, both permanent and
temporary, and significantly by
the rare support Of the notably
impartial Secretary General of
the U. N, Mr.. Dag Hammarskjold,
unquestionably put the Soviet
Union on the defensive on a ma
jor issue.

The effect of the Soviet veto
will strengthen Mr.. Dulles hand
at the Copenhagen conference of
the North Atlantic Treaty Or
ganization. Adamantly opposed
to a summit conference with the
Russians unless substantial agree
ment was in sight beforehand, the
Secretary can now remind his

the usual JAW militancy clearly
reflected Mr.. Reuther's recogni-
ton of his unions weakened
bargaining position. GIN, which
has managed better than other
companies during the recession,
had just reported its earnings
off 20 per cent in the first 1858
quarter.
There was at least one ray of
hope for brighter days ahead this
year in the auto industry: Con-
Sumers still were reducing their
installment debt. Many of them
were liquidating 36-month debts
contracted for autos during the
record auto-buying year of 1855.
The industry was hoping a good
percentage would trade in their
paid-for 1855 models for this
years number.
