The present division be-

Korea Is the result OF Soviet
manipulation. Germany's di-
vision was decided as a mill
tary agreement among the
erstwhile allies at the end Of
World War II. II was then
described as a punitive meas

West as preferable TO the
Soviet proposal for a per-

situation and give the sepa-

chance to decide for them

The only alternative the
military men can offer-and
this has been brought out of
them in private-is anything
but nice or pleasant. 1t is
toll, sweat and tears, without
the blood.
This is what some profess
sional officers with high AL
lied responsibilities consider
to be the best the West could
nationally hope for:
1. At least 20 years more of
cruel but unavoidable -
cold-war stalemate. In this
period our side would be for
tunate to be able to keep
atomic equality with the
Russians. 1t would be NOR
tally endangered by stopping
the so-called atomic arma-
ments race"
2. A real possibility-if our
policy in fact follows this
harshlv Spartan line-that
time would produce such
changes among the Russian
people as to restrain the
Kremlin from setting off the
ultimate war.
This reckoning does not
accept the decent, but posi-
bly, not very sound, notion
that our spiritual superiority
is itself a measurable military
asset. Many men will re-
member the Nazis as brutally
pagan-but also brutally ef-
fective in battle.
But the military mind-or
this sample Of it-does give
something to the pronego-
tiation people.
Its watchword would be to
be tough" always; to talk
tough" never. Far from dis
couraging West-East rela-

foster personal exchanges. 1t

forts to break the Iron Cur
