efforts Of many political men
In the United States to bring

he has just made q militant

GENEVA-The peoples Of
the Western countries - and
not their foreign ministers
here - alone can make this
q successful conference.
But, TO do this, they must
be patient and let their rep
resentatives here show the
kind Of firmness which could
be the real deterrent to war.
The Soviet government
started this controversy with
an ultimatum - q threat to
force the allied troops out Of
West Berlin. To avoid what
seemed like q possibility Of
war. the Western countries
agreed to q Horsepower con-
ference. Now the threat has
been temporarily withdrawn.
It win not be permanently
abandoned unless the peoples
Of the West are willing to
stand behind their ENJOYS

words Of warning to the So
Wet government.
First Of all. the West could
hardly be satisfied with a
"crumb"-an agreement to
let things in West Berlin stay

Of any kind agreed upon that

Of the two parts Of Germany.
Second. the West cannot
afford to participate in a

forced upon them by the

lose an important battle on

The campaign Of the back
ers Of Senator Lyndon B.
johnson of Texas to obtain
the 1860 Democratic presi-
Dental nomination for him
has moved significantly for
ward because Of the outcome
Of Kentucky's Democratic
primary.
The complicated reasons
why this is so are almost as
interesting as the central
fact that it is so. For rarely
have the subtleties Of pre-
convention politicking, espe-
cialIy as these involve an

Briefly, the heavy defeat

1t Is among the nations
which are fighting the Com
munist Imperialism In the
Far East and Middle East
that the death Of John Foster
Dulles will be most keenly
felt. For in him they had
their most determined advo-
cate and supporter.
The foreign ministers or
other representatives Of these
nations who came to WASH
ington to attend the Dulles
rites did not conceal the fact
that they are far more wor-
ried over their future than
they have been in the recent
past. Particularly concerned
are the two important Asian
allies--Korea and National
list China.
The Japanese government,
too, appears to be somewhat
concerned. But in view Of its
newly acquired strength since
the end Of the war, the con-
Germ Of the Kishi government
is limited principally to
whether the conservative re-
gime win be able to maintain
It's present influence. which
is the result Of the unrelent-
ing assistance of the United
States, or whether it will
have to give way to the left
wing Socialists who even at
this time want to espouse the
cause of the Russian and
Chinese Communist empires.
Mr.. Dulles influence among
most Of the Japanese poll
ticians was great. They re-
membered gratefully that had
1t not been for his bulldog
determination, the British
contention that Japan must
be deprived of heavy indus
tries would have been written
into the peace treaty.

President Eisenhower will
almost inevitably face a
double barrelled crisis this
summer which will bring the
most acute test of his lead
ership since his inauguration
in 1852.
Whether or not the foreign
ministers of the great powers
who resume deliberations at
Geneva this week end arrive
at any acceptable solutions
of the Berlin problem, a
summit conference is bound
to be held. It will not be the
kind Of conference the Presi-
dent has demanded, which is
a meeting to give the stamp
of high approval to matters
already agreed upon. BY all
indications, the vital work
will remain to be done when
he and Khrushchev, Macmil-
Ian and De Gaulle meet.
There is every indication.

ously the United States do

enough to try the mettle of a
