President Meets Press in Bonn

the President will spend at
Chequers. official residence OF
the nations Prime Ministers.
Rather hesitant questions
from German reporters un-
accustomed to their new
found prerogative developed
some points of apparent
major concern to the Chan
cellor, One is the question Of
West German relations with
Poland.
There is pressure in Bonn
for closer ties with the Co
mulka regime, which is less
rigidly Communist. The
Chancellor is determined not
to prejudice West German
demands in any future peace
treaty for some change in
the German-Polish border.
The President was also
questioned closely about dis
armament and why he had
one time separated nuclear
disarmament from the gen.
eral problem. The President
promised that present care
full efforts to make progress
would be continued. A Ger
man reporter who asked
about progress on the re-
turn of German assets still
held in the United States
was shushed by his fellows.
The President courteouSly re-
piled that he was doing his
best on that one.
A curious aspect of the
German stay was the fact
that the name of the late
Secretary of State, John Fos-
ter Dulles, had not been men,
toned by anyone in the greet
ings or at the press confer
ence. The late Secretary was
considered to be in closer ac-
cord with Chancellor Aden-

the President has said, on

faith and deeds, the strength
of the American system OF
Government. Since we have

That much we owe to our
own people and the whole OF
mankind. This Nation has a
moral obligation it must not

Mr.. Eisenhower has made
1t plain he expects no mira
cles. No immediate change
will be noted even if the
meetings are successful. But
given a slow lessening of ten
sions. there is no reason why
the thought and work Of free
people should not attain a
final victory in the years
ahead, over the theology OF
totalitarian controls.

RALPH McGlLL

Citizens Of the United
States have come to expect
former President Harry S.
Truman to speak his mind.
He never disappoints them.
This is good. Both he and
ex-President Herbert Hoover
have demonstrated the desir-
ability of giving our past
Presidents a voice in public
affairs.
Men who have been trained
for four years or more in
what probably is the most
expensive school in the
world, maintained at tax
payers expense in a large,
sprawling White House on
Pennsylvania avenue, ought
to have the benefit of the
thinking of former Presi-
dents. They need not agree
with them. They do not al
ways do so when these men
occupy the White House. But
to hear the opinions creates
the necessity of thought. One
must accept or reject what
they say.
Mr.. Truman has said he
does not think President Ell
senhower should go to Rus
STA. We hold Mr.. Truman in
great esteem. But his reason
ing in support of this state
ment is not too sound. It
was, perhaps. the reaction OF
the burned child who breads
the fire. There was not too
much logic in it.
The gamecock from 1nde-
pendence, Mo-, says a Presi-
dent should not go abroad
unless momentous decisions
are possible. He further de-
clares that all our former

Red China and the u. N.

ing nothing whatever to do
with the China regime.
All this, then, briefly, n
the domestic scene. AS to
the international scene, Mr..
Khrushchev has already let
1t be known that among the
things he will talk about here
with President Eisenhower
will be. American recogni-
ton Of Communist China.
There are some officials
here, who work in foreign
intelligence, who doubt that
Khrushchev is really very
keen to bring about this
recognition. They reckon
that Soviet fear Of the emery.
ing and CHASTITY giant in
China has already overtaken
Soviet satisfaction at seeing
that vast neighbor commu-
nized. They believe, in short,
that Khrushchev is talking
big for recognition mainly so
that the Red Chinese can
overhear and thus credit him
with working in their behalf.
Finally, in this estimate lies
the sole possibility for any
real change in the American
attitude toward recognition.
1t is conceivable that we
would slowly move toward
some form of recognition if
but only fit became. plain
that such an act could well
and truly detach the China
monolith from the Soviet
monolith, and so weaken i'm
perialist communism.
1t is hardly possible NOR
ally-at any rate it is surely
not politically possible - to
defend recognition on any
other ground or for any other
reason. Neither the admins
tration nor Congress has for
gotten what some have for
gotten: The Chinese Reds
made aggressive and thus
far-unrepented war on us.
and on all the United Nations

The unequal sides in an old
argument over how we
should deal with Communist
China are marshaling for a
new struggle coincident with
the arrival here of Nikita
Khrushchev of the Soviet
Union.
Both the legislative and
the executive branches Of
the United States Govern
ment are massively and
repeatedly committed to nom
recognition Of the Red re-
CINE. Indeed. the House Of
Representatives, In anticipa-
ton of new pressures for
recognition, for the l4th time
has just resolved, by 1853 to
2, against any such course.
The Senate time and again
has done the same, and will
again If a similar resolution
is presented there before the
adjournment Of Congress.
The State Department
seems more than ever OPP
posed, If this is possible, to
giving the slightest inter-
national responsibility to the
Chinese Reds. This is notably
true of these American dip
lomats most directly respon-
sible for the remaining free
areas Of Southeast Asia.
These men are saying that to
recognize Communist China
now, at the very hour Com
munist pressure is being APP
piled to our friends in Laos,
in what used to be French
do-China would be catas-
trophic.
"Unimaginable disaster" is
the phrase used by the ablest
of this diplomatic group. To
make any deal with the
Communists, he says, would
shake every free world posi-
ton left in Asia.

time. Nuclear weapons and
the existence Of intercon-
tinental rockets and asso-
ciated warheads, too horrible
to contemplate, seemingly
have caused Khrushchev'S
Russia to be willing to discuss
the possibilities of easing ten
sionS. We know there is no
assurance of success.
We should understand that
If the Soviets do make such
a beginning possible. they
will do so only because they
believe they ride the wave
of the future. The fighting
in Laos, for example, would
likely go on whether Red
China encouraged it or not.
The Soviets see, even as
Khrushchev said during the
Nixon visit, that the poverty
and discomfort of peoples in
the nations so long classified
as have-not areas, keep
Communist parties alive.
KhruShchev seemingly is
content to allow several diff
ferent forms of economic
communism to exist. The
communism of Poland, Of
Red China, and of Yugo-
slavia differs from that Of
Russia. Karl Marx, if we may
employ a tired old phrase,
must be whirling in his grave
as he views the beginning of
inStallment credit buying in
the USSR and the wide gulf
between management and
labor.
The one common denomi-
nator of communism is that
it has come to be a religion,
or faith, for many millions of
people. Khrushchev ap-
parently thinks he can win
without war. We do not be-

sit down with Gen. de Gaulle
to emphasize that Allied
unity, especially In defense
matters. is far more import
ant than any other single
factor in the internal dtua-
ton confronting France, To
keep NATO planes from using
bases inside France because
the United States wouldn't
grant information on nuclear
weapons is petty tactics for
any Frenchman TO be prac-
ticing in these critical days.
After all, the United. States
has twice had to come to the
rescue Of France in world
war crises. and 1t would be a
disservice to the people Of
France II, in this missile and
atomic age. the weapons of
war by which American
planes could help stave of
any attack on France were
suddenly found lacking.
Surely questions like these,
on sober second thought, will
have to be handled with more
tact in the future than they
have been In the past. lest
confidence in Gen. de Gaulle
himself is weakened in
America.
So far as relations with
Britain are concerned. there
Is complete understanding
and harmony. Mr.. Eisen-
hower's visit to Bonn will re-
assure the West Germans
that they are not to become
the victims Of a deal" over
West Berlin.
But entirely apart from the
specific issues that must be
dealt with by President
Eisenhower on his mission to
Bonn, London and Paris, 1t is
heartening to see the Western
European peoples by their
demonstrations showing the
friendship they cherish for
the people Of America.
Maybe as Nikita Khru-
shchev examines the press re-
ports, he will be a bit envious.
For If he could but under

out of leaders who love
humanity and freedom. and
show their disdain only for
those who do not grasp the

meetings, Yalta, Potsdam
and Geneva, failed because
the Communists did not keep
their part of the bargain.
Thirdly, he argues that since
the President himself states
he is not to do any direct
negotiating, he should not go
at all.
Now, this has a sort Of
surface logic. But it is, If
Mr.. Truman will pardon us,
somewhat specious. All the
other meetings were dealing
with momentous. decisions.
They were not two-man
meetings. They were con-
ferences Of the great powers
engaged in the war. \ They
attempted to settle, with
finality, vast issues, some of
which were then yelled and
obscure. At the time the
leaders met at Yalta and
Potsdam, the special inter-
ests of each were not clearly
seen.
Mr.. Truman is quite right
in one respect. The Soviets,
when they discovered their
selfish political interests and,
even more, their opportunity
to make great gains Of ter
ritory and resources ran
contrary to the agreements
made, did not hesitate Gym
ically to betray their treaties
with their former allies.

that peoples behind the Iron

for 1t contains the very
ingredients Of international

In the personality OF
Dwight Eisenhower-a man
Of military background in the
past, but today a symbol OF
peace-the world sees a mis-
sionary seeking. by good will
and a spirit of Cancellation, to
overcome the petty. narrow
and self -centered policies OF
men in government that
sometimes keep nations apart.
It is an open secret that
Mr.. EiSenhowerIis in Western
Europe this week as much to
bind up, the wounds Of a
strained governmental al
lance with France as he is to
prepare for the days next
month in which he will rep
resent the West in talks with
Soviet Premier Khrushchev.
Dwight Eisenhower is pop
ular in Europe as a man. But
this is not simply because Of
his genial personality and
innate friendliness. 1t is be-
cause of his record-he COM
manded the very forces that
saved Britain and France is
years ago. His acceptance by
the people of West Germany
is due largely to the fact that
Gen. Eisenhower dealt with
his defeated foes on a basis
of decency and fairness.
But, above all, President
Eisenhower typifies the
American spirit-the desire
to see a nation like West
Germany, which has repudi-
ated nazism and established

tons. preserve its indepen-
dence and become reunited
