The Tories:
Confident

Britain must have a general
election before May Is. 1860. five
years then having elapsed since
the present Parliament vas
elected. But under British pat-
liamentary rules. the Prime Min
lister may choose his own time
for a general election. Last week
Prime Minister Macmillan an
nounced at 10 Downing street
that the election would be held
October 8. -
Mr.. Macmillan thus fulfilled
the predictions of many in acting
swiftly to capitalize politically on
the Eisenhower KhruShchev ex-
change and on the frightened
prospect for a thaw in the cold
war. British public opinion has
long been heavily in favor of an
easing of world tensions through
direct talks with the Russians, and
1t was Mr. Macmillan's initiative
in visiting Moscow last winter that
set in motion the present round
of exchanges between East and
West.
The opposition Labor Party.
two years ago considered a GER
tain victor in the next elections,
finds itself bereft of the very issue
on which it seemed certain to ride
to triumph. Deprived of the cam
paign slogan it had readied after
Suez in 1856 brought Tory pres
tige to a new low. Labor spokes-
men have fallen back on domestic
issues for campaign material. But
observers expect the electorate to
be relatively unimpressed in pros
porous times by economic appeals.
Explaining his choice of the
October date, Mr.. Macmillan said
that important international me-
gotiations lie ahead" and there
fore the British people ought TO
decide at elections if these were
to be conducted by the Conserva-
tiveS or the Laborites.

what has happened. But no other
explanation fits so many of the
known facts, or seems so credible
to those who watched Soviet Del
egate Arkady A. Sobolev at close
hand this past week. =.
BY bringing the Laotian crisis
into the U. N. Security Council
eight days before Mr.. Khru-
shchev's arrival in America, the
West put Mr.. Sobolev squareIy- on
the spot. Would he back his
allies, Red China and North Wet
Nam, or would he be cooperative
and thus promote Mr.. Khru-
Shchev's detente?

backed his allies, but he did. so.

Toward O New Climate

Almost no one expects the
sojourn Of Mr.. Khrushchev in the
United States to bring about any
definitive decisions or solid set
Elements of outstanding issues
between East and West. At best,
the exchange Of opinions between
the Soviet leader and President
Eisenhower could thaw the at
mosphere. could create a new
climate Of moderation and mu-
tual confidence. At worst, it could
confirm Mr.. Khrushchev in his
worst Communist impressions Of
"warmongering capitalist imper-
ialism." and as well convince
American policymakers that there
can be no peace with militant
communism on any terms.
Mr.. Eisenhower himself sounded
the theme for American expecta-
tons. 1t was with profound
hope" he told the Nation Thurs
day evening. that Mr.. Khru-
shchev's visit here would bring
about IAN improved atmosphere
Of mutual understanding and
serious purpose" between the two
chief protagonists of two radically
different social and economic
systems.
The President once again made
1t clear that the search for peace
full co-existence would have to
be a mutual one. mo principle
or fundamental interest will be
placed upon the auction block"
he promised, as an inducement to
the man from Moscow to make
and keep a dependable peace
with the non-Communist world.
And he again stressed American
and Allied concern with the flu
ture of West Berlin, whose status
as a Western enclave Of some 2
million people well inside the con-
fines of Communist Europe has
been challenged directly b. the
distinguished visitor himself. The
whole Western alliance. the Presi-
dent said. must be as concerned
about the freedom Of West Ber-
liners as we are about the free
dom of any part Of our coalition"

tons for international disarma-
ment. The plan was agreed on in
principle by the Foreign Minis
tiers Of the United States, Britain,
France and the Soviet Union dur
ing their lengthy meetings at Ge-
neva earlier this summer. Details
were arranged in Moscow through
diligent and quiet consultations
between the American, British
and French Ambassadors and So
Wet Foreign Minister Andrei
Gromyko.
Under the terms Of the plan.
five nations will represent the
West. and five the East in the
forthcoming negotiations. The
l0-member panel will function as
a special subcommittee Of the
U. N. and will report to the larger
body. (The U. N. Disarmament
Commission consists of all 81
member nations of the General
Assembly,
The United States, Britain.
France. Canada and Italy will be
the Western members of the
group: the Soviet Union, Poland,
Czechoslovakia, Romania and
Bulgaria will represent the Com
munist bloc. The equally divided
panel represents a concession to
Soviet demands for parity, a de-
mand made after the failure of
the London disarmament talks
two years ago. At the London
sessions. the Communist bloc was
represented only by the Soviet
Union.
In actual practice, the new Dis
armament Subcommittee will

port on its success or failure. The

Khrushchev's Ideas

The tenor of the Eisenhower
remarks implied strongly that
Mr.. Khrushchev,- If he wants his
journey to be a successful one,
ought to have something to pro-
pose. Since the President was at
obvious pains to stress the Berlin
situation, he was in effect in
forming the Soviet Premier that
this. more than anything else.
would be a test Of sincerity as
q basis for othe negotiations.
Most diplomats along Embassy
Row, whatever their nations af-
filiation, view the Khrushchev
visit here with utmost serious
ness. None affect to see the trip
as a mere propaganda move, or
as a very obvious device to weaken
the Atlantic alliance alone. The
consensus seems to be that the
Krem.i1 is seriously seeking a
detente with the United States
and with our allies, a modus
vivendi that will permit not only
a long and peaceful period of
economic building, but will in adj
dition strengthen the Soviet po-

The WEEK IN PERSPECTIVE
A Hopeful Atmosphere

Some lights burned late In the
State Department and the Execu-
tive Offices Building last week.
And at Andrews Air Force Base,
military honor guards rehearsed
for their roles In the pomp and
circumstance Of protocol. In New
York and other cities, organiza-
tons Of refugees from European
nations and some American anti
Communist groups laid plans for
public protests and demonstra-
tons, within the strict security
rules and courtesy requirements
insisted on by the Administration.
On Capitol Hill some 40 men,
bers Of Congress signed a "call
for mourning" But other men,
bers reported their mail running
preponderantly favorable to the
welcoming of the man whose i'm
pending arrival was the reason
for all these things. When Nikita
Sergeievich Khrushchev steps
from his sleek Jet transport at
Andrews on Tuesday morning. he
win probably find a welcome that
win be friendly. courteous. and
correct.
Visiting foreign dignitaries are,
OF course. nothing new to the Ma
tons Capital. But on this occa-
sion almost the whole world
knows that the visit Of the Chair
man Of the Council Of Ministers
Of the U. S. S. r. signifies more
than international sociability and
decorous exchanges of courtesies.

what must be a very embarrassing
moment for Moscow. It cuts di-
rectly across the Kremlin's efforts
to win a Soviet-American detente,
thereby solidifying its grip on the
Soviet satellite empire.
A Petty Annoyance
Mr.. Khrushchev almost GER
tainly is coming to the United
States to smile, to quip, to talk
peace. to seek relaxation and
euphoria. To have a Laotian crisis
in the background is, for him, like
trying to make love to a woman
with a mosquito buzzing around
her head. 1t distracts, it irritates,
1t spoils the illusion.
u. N. diplomats therefore ask:
Who let loose the mosquito? What
seems to them to be the obvious
