Another Summit Conference?

Weakened persons on our
side are giving aid and COM
fort to the Soviets by shipping
at their own government
from positions Of promin-
ence and influence in parlia-
ments abroad and In our
Congress ct home. This is
giving our potential enemies
q basis for miscalculation. It
could lead to the war every
body on the Western side Is
anxious to avoid.
Whatever Agreements"
might be proclaimed by the
summit conference" would
not be worth the paper they
would be written on. The
1854 summit conference"
agreed solemnly that there
should be free elections to re-
unity Germany. Now. after
nearly I'VE years. the Soviets
have torn up that pledge and
are brazenly threatening war
II their new demands for
keeping Germany dismem-
bered are not accepted.
Firmness by the West

from another war. There is
a staunch and courageous viii
to resist at the White House
and in the leadership of our
armed forces. But despite the
honeyed words about unity
that lately have come from
Capitol Hill, the Soviets are
convinced that the OPPOSE
ton party in the United
States isn't really back Of
the American Government.
It's q mistaken belief. but.
judging from the utterances
Of some Of the Democratic
leaders and the qualifying
phrases they use in giving lip
service to national unity. the
Moscow chieftains can read
lily get the idea that there's
a real chance to wiring con-
cessions from the West.
This could mean surrender
ing the military position
which NATO has hitherto
maintained in Western Eu-
rope as q safeguard against
potential aggression.
SUN NIT conferences"
should be realistically labeled
surrender conferences" For
that's why the Soviets keep
pressing for them to be con-

Neither Side Willing to Break of

Since last october repre-
sentatives Of the United
States. Britain and the Soviet
Union have been "negotiat-
ing" ct Geneva to achieve a
worldwide ban on further
nuclear weapons testing. They
are still there, and have made
absolutely zero progress. Yet
they continue to meet. and
to debate and argue and spar.
because neither the Soviet
Union nor the Western side
wants the onus in world
opinion OF being the first to
quit the conference.
The deadlock. essentially,
has been caused by the refusal
Of the Russians to agree to
any workable. effective sys-
TEN of control. The Soviet
contention Is that existing
methods of detection are suf-
ficient to prevent any cheat
ing on Q test ban. They will
accept test ban enforcement
stations. but insist that per-
sonnet assigned to the sta
tions be nationals Of the ma
ton being monitored - in
short, the Russians will police
their stations. the Americans
theirs, and only q few neu-
trails or foreigners will be per-
mitted as observers"
More than that. the Com
munist hagglers want an abb
solute veto over decisions of
the international body to be
set up to oversee observance
of q test prohibition. With

IL the world about to wit
ness one Of the biggest
hoaxes Of all times another
summit conference?"
Although a Foreign Min
listers meeting is to be held
in Geneva in May. its failure
is anticipated already as the
cry Is raised for q summit
conference"
Dispatches from abroad
indicate that Prime Minister
Macmillan has been forced
into q political corner on the
issue and favors a conference
of heads of states. Also In
the United States certain
anti-administration spokes-
men who are kullible enough
to believe the Soviets will
make concessions are speak
ing out In favor Of summit
conferences" In fact, 1t now
is being suggested by
Chairman Fulbright OF the
Senate Foreign Relations
Committee that such confer
ences be held twice a year as
a regular procedure.
But the average man will
ask: what is there about a
summit conference that
makes it such an attractive
idea to its sponsors?"
So far as the Soviets are
concerned. 1t gives them a
propaganda show. The men
in the Kremlin can thereby
demonstrate to their own
people how the rest Of the
world comes to them begging
for crumbs at the table OF
discussion. AS for the allied
side, it's a political issue in
Great Britain. where the
Labor Party pounds away at
the Macmillan government
by giving the impression that
acceptance of a summit con-
ference" invitation means
peace and that a refusal
could lead to war.
Something of the same at
titude characterizes the views
of some opposition party lead
ers in the United States.

Khrushchev has so much
power that it is useless to

Their biggest and most con-
vincing argument is a "hu-

1t is certainly safe to as
sumo that in the Soviet
Union, too, military opposi-
ton exists to a test ban. OF
course, such opposition would
never make the front page
Of Pravda, but it is certain
to be felt in the Kremlin.
On the other hand, the
Russians have more to gain
from a test ban than the
West, because they hold a
great advantage in conven-
tional arms and. certainly.
in manpower. Thus an end to
nuclear testing would be
greatly advantageous to the
Communists and would seri-
ously weaken the free worlds

By Ruling Out q Ground War for Berlin,
His OnJv Force Alternative Is H-Bomb

Marine Corps to the point
where ultimately they will
become irrelevant to warfare
is quite another thing. This
is far more than an exercise
of a Presidents traditional
right largely to cut up and
direct the actual spending Of

gress has provided that dol
lar.
This is not simply a proper
Commander in Chief deci-
sion: this is q matter Of the
highest and most urgent po-
litical concerns. 1t is a case
in which military policy is
dominating what is constitu-
tionally a far higher thing.
the very grand foreign policy
of the United States OF
America.
For to make the ground
forces unable to guarantee
our interests anywhere - as
the President himself has
said they are unable to do
now in Germany-is to par
alyze that high foreign pol
icy. And Congress has the
most intimate constitutional
right to have a hand in that
kind Of policy.
When the President says,
as he did last week, that we
are certainly not going to
fight a ground war in
Europe" he is foreclosing
foreign policy itself. The
only possible meaning Of this
is that, assuming that no
diplomatic settlement of the
Berlin crisis can be reached
and force must be used. that
force will be atomic-hydro-

When an officer with the
fiawless integrity and fine
ability of Gen. Maxwell D.
Taylor, Army Chief Of STAFF,
warns that the United States
must be prepared for about
war to check the Russians.
1t is time to take a good look
at our hole card.

Soviets from a showdown at
this time. He warned, how
ever, that II the Soviet armies
entered the battle in force
the Army would be unable to
defend itself without re-
course to nuclear weapons.
If the Soviets used only
satellite armies as in Korea,
he felt the West could handle
the situation. even If it we're
a prolonged one.

flee; he was United States
commander in Berlin during
1919 and 1850 Immediately
after the Soviet blockade.
The contrast between the
measured utterances Of Gen.
Taylor and President Eisen-
hower's press conference re-
marks last week is very nearly
complete.
The President ruled out q
ground war over Berlin. AS
against the l75-plus divisions
Of the Soviets and East Ger
mans why would anybody
dream of lighting a ground
war, he wanted to know. Yet
when asked If that meant the
United States is prepared to
use nuclear arms to defend
Berlin, he replied that he
didn't know how you could
free anything with nuclear
weapons.
The President also indi-
Gated that when a genuine
threat appeared over Berlin
1t would be time to decide
what to do. Yet Congress was
told only a few hours after
the President spoke that Gen.
Lauris Norstad, American
commander in Europe, had
already asked for Army,
Navy and Air Force reinforce
ments to help meet the Berlin
threat.
Thus it appears that the
military is making plans
along the lines of the Taylor
warnings while it awaits the
decisions only the President
can make both as Command
er-in-Chie and Chief Ex-
ecutive.

discussion by the four top
men concerned. On the con-
trary, at a summit confer

Surrounding the conference
outside are ct least 1000

paved for such an accord.
Also. a Foreign Ministers
conference furnishes every
opportunity for an agreement
to be contaminated. Unless
the one to be held in Geneva
in May Is successful. Presi-

The debate between Presi-
dent Eisenhower and Con-

arations Is at last reaching
the real point. the true issue.
This is the administrations
slow. conscious Starving-out

No Congress can usefully
challenge a President on the
tactical details Of his military
planning as Commander in
Chief. It cannot do so even
on such immense details as
his decision deliberately to
allow the Russians to lead us
in one weapon. the intereon-
