With Khrushchev taking
such an open part in the nu-
clear test problem and in
dicating a willingness to talk
Of it, the Americans may not
be able to stand their ground.
A summit meeting that would
produce progress, however
slight, in hating nuclear
tests would be popular, diplo-
mats concede. And it would
not be wise for the United
States to be put in the posi-
ton Of blocking it, according
to her own best propagan-
dists.
On this side Of the Atlantic,
it quickly becomes clear that
almost any agreement to stop
nuclear testing would cover a
multitude of foreign policy
sins so far as public opinion
is concerned. Knowing this,
Khrushchev may be using it
purely as bait for the sum-
nit; certainly, the Russians
have made no hard and fast
promises.
Opinion here on all these
questions shades from out
right cynicism to apparently
genuine hope. The divisions
are not entirely by country,
either; while the Vests dele
cations maintain outwardly
the same solid front as the
Russians. their individual
members are not at all of

Then, after State" had

fortress Of non-Pentagonia
was Congress. And the heart
of this fortress was the
United States Senate. For q

For a long time, you could go

But now. what with a new

rest, the Senate itself looks
like Pentagonia. Progress in

ish. We have not learned that
art yet but are now on the
way to learning. Besides this
fact, which would make IL
immoral (from the American
point Of view at least) to
make deals with the power
hungry Soviet Union without
full consultation with our
smaller allies. there Is another
strong reason why Senator
Johnson's suggestion has
much merit. The free world
is united only in name. In
the years since the signing of
the cease-flre in Korea, the
lack of unity has been further
accentuated. The great pow
ers are squabbling with each
other and the smaller ones
have strong misgivings and
suspicious over the way their
"betters" are handling the
present world crisis.
A meeting at the summit
attended by the heads Of
state of every free nation
would result in a more har-
monious correlation and at
the end the Big Three could
be given a mandate to ne
gotiate with our enemy. At
this moment. there is no such
mandate. We make conces-
sions to the Reds and if they
agree we undertake to make
them acceptable to our allies.
The example of the armistice
in Korea is illustrative-the
South X ores n government
did not want the cease-fire
and never signed it. But we
and those who offered token
participation did so and the
cease-fire was rammed down
the Threats of the South
Koreans.
AS a matter of fact. it is
doubtful whether the Turks,
Colombians or Thailanders
wanted an armistice. But
Britain. and to a lesser ex-
tent France. did.
Most of our smaller allies
live now in terror that there
will be an agreement with
Khrushchev at the summit
and they may have to pay
for it. Some Of them feel
powerless and hope that des-
tiny will not do to them what
it did to the peoples of Po-
land, Czechoslovakia and the
Balkan states. Others are

identical mind. Aside from
an extremely nervous young
interpreter whose long-cut
hair keeps falling into his
teeth, the Russians are self
confidence incarnate.
Generally speaking, the
French speak for the cynics.
They are against concessions
on Germany. They purely
hate the prospect Of Khru-
shchev transforming across
the United States. They also
more or less openly complain
of what they regard as the
British spirit of appeasement.
When Sir Winston Church.
i'll was in New York, Averell
Hartman asked the old war
rior bluntly If any flavor Of
appeasement could rightly be
attached to present British
policy. Churchill shook of
his lethargy and, without
anger but very positively, re-
piled it was a matter about
which he could claim to be
expert and the answer was
no.
The charge Is being made
nonetheless and an awkard
fact is that a British mission
is in Moscow now negotiating
on trade matters.
Secretary Herter has
avoided discussion Of this
sticky question by canceling a
scheduled off-the-record ses-
sion with the American cor
respondents. The reason
given was that the real
Geneva negotiations have
still to begin.

fundamental changes also
occur. Pentagonitis will re-

to say that this is Pentagonia's

Pentagonia, Of course, is
the great principality whose
capital is the Pentagon-the

commands. In terms of years,

But In its relatively short
existence Pentagonitis has
