An Editorial From MANCHESTER
Differences between Mr.. Stassen
and Mr.. Dulles on negotiations with
Russia are not new. One wants them
while the other does not. So far the
Secretary of State has prevailed in
President Eisenhower's ear over the
disarmament adviser-although. it is
freely reported in Washington, the
President earlier in 1857 was willing
to accept Mr.. Stassen's advice on di-
rect negotiations, until Mr.. Dulles
talked him out of it.
European feelings have been more
with Mr.. Stassen than with Mr.. Dulles.
That was made plain at the NATO
conference in Paris. After his return
from that conference Mr.. Dulles
spoke of the STRONG desire" of the
American Administration ''to bring
the Soviets back into the disarmament
negotiations which they have now
abandoned" This might have created
the impression that he had given in
to European pressure. In fact, how
ever, it can also be interpreted as
refusal to negotiate.
One thing which the Russians have
made clear is that they will not "sit
down again at a conference table
with the same NATO MEMBERS" as
Mr.. Gromyko told the Supreme So
Wet. And Mr.. Krushchev, on the
same occasion, emphasized that they
would not take part in commission
where ''the vast majority of seats"
was held by countries opposed to
them.
These Russian objections are un-
reasonable, but at this juncture it
is not the Western aim to teach the
Russians reason.
The overriding purpose must be to
find out whether there is any common
ground on which to reach at least a
limited agreement with them. Mr..
Dulles plainly believes that there is
not. At the end of October he said
that. when it came to negotiations on
specific and important issues, there

nations below the summit will take
their own steps to reduce tensions.
Herr Ollenhauer, the leader of the
German Social Democrats, would not
have been invited to speak on the
Polish radio, where he advocated the
immediate establishment of diplo-
matte relations between the Federal
Republic and Poland, unless the Co.
mulka regime favoured such course.
Again, it will probably be argued
that Mr.. Gomulka is primarily con-
cerned with creating difficulties for
DIR. Adenauer. But Mr.. Gomulka
probably has his own difficulties, and
we should beware of an attitude,
rather too widespread in the West
today. which seems TO credit the So
Wet block with monopoly of diplo-
matte skill and coordination. Of
course, when one listens to Mr.. Dulles
it is hard to escape that feeling. But
there are others who can speak for
the West, publicly and in private ne
gotiations. 1t is time they were al
lowed to.

public opinion inside its member
states as at disarmament.
Mr.. Stassen holds that progress can
be made by attempts to reach strictly
limited agreements, negotiated pri-
vately, such as the suspension of
nuclear tests and the thinning out of
military forces in Central Europe.
He seems to share the view, widely
held in Western Europe, that once
some initial agreement has been
achieved in however narrow a field,
wider questions might be tackled.
Even such limited objects as the sus-
pension of tests and the military dis
engagement in Central Europe will
involve many problems. The questions
of control and inspection, of safe
guards against violations, immediate
ly spring to mind.
But none of these is insoluble. All
of them could be used by the Russians
to make the negotiations end in fail
ure. But if the West enters these
negotiations determined to reach
agreement-and known to be so de-

There is no indication that MIR.
Dulles has changed his view that it is
impossible to reach agreement with
the Soviet Union. He is of course en-
titled to hold that view, but he cannot
at the same time act as the spokesman
and representative of those members
of the Western alliance-and of that
growing section of United States pub
lie opinion-who now insist that nego-
nations must be attempted.
We should not underestimate the
difficulties and dangers of such nego-
tiations. The Russians are likely to
aim at least as much at breaking up
the Western alliance and at dividing

termined-such failure would recoil
on the Russians.
1t is in fact a defeatist view to
assume that the West can be so
easily "dished'' as the pessimists
always imply.
Mr.. Krushchev said that there
should first be "a meeting of the two
strongest powers-the United States
and the U. S. S. R." In making this
condition he hopes, no doubt, to Gre
ate dissention between the United
States and her allies. Yet there is no
reason why Mr.. Stassen should not be
empowered to conduct preliminary
talks with his Soviet opposite number.
A final agreement, as Mr.. Krushchev
knows, would not be effective with
out the consent of Americas allies,
who would naturally be consulted at
all stages. This process, together with
the private method of negotiation,
should offer sufficient guarantee
against the success of Soviet attempts
to create discord.
1t is possible, too, that some of the
