ground. The net is that Mr..
Macmillan in the real sense
is representing all of us in
the West. even if this is not
his intention or Washington'S
intention. What he has to
propose upon his return obvi-
ously will have vast meaning
to us all. So, what sort of
man is this upon whom so
much depends?
The answer should not be
frightening even to those
among us who believe the
British to be tricky beyond
words. For Mr.. Macmillan
is a sound, solid, truly
conservative politician; no
dreamer, no happy "one-
worlder" asleep to the men,
ace of imperialiSt commu-
nism.
He is not an easy man to
fool; half a generation ago
he fought to the end against
Britain's appeaSement of Hit
Ter. He is a good, savvy
trader, a man of eXtraordi-
nary ability in face-to-face
meetings. He wants peace, of
course, as do all rational men.
But he has never confused
peace with mere weakness
and surrender.
To talk to him is TO discard
quickly the old American
stereotype of the tea drink
ing Britisher moving about in
his striped pants with woody
goodwill and bland unaware
ness of the harsh facts Of life.
The British have sent no nice
boy on a mans errand to
Moscow. The slight, amiable
seeming fashionplate who has
gone there is quite as tough
as they come. He is from
World War II a thrice
wounded Guards officer. And
nobody, not even the Justly
famous American Marine, is
a better man than a Guards
man to have around, either
in talking things over or, if it
comes to that, in fighting
things out.

Possible Soviet Trade Offer to Britain
Seen as Move to Split West

The State Department top
level is watching with anxi-
ETY. the developments in Mos
COW, where the Prime Minis
ter and the Foreign Minister
Of Great Britain are conduct
ing lengthy negotiations with
Comrades KhruShchev and
Mikoyan. two Of the shrewd-
est and most ruthless dicta-
tors in the world.
The visit of the British
team is supposed to be one
of exploration only-in so
far as Britain's allies and
friends are concerned. But
the guests Of the Kremlin die
tators have some irons Of
their own in the fire. They
are interested in any kind
OF remunerative trade they
might be able to find in the
Soviet Union and also in
any bilateral agreement they
could reach which would not
affect the immediate allied
policies.
Any such achievement, the
British Conservative leaders
believe, would help them i'm
measurably at the forthcom-
ing elections. The British
ballyhoo artists public rela-
tions experts) are as imagi-
native as their American
colleagues when it comes to

detail. They decided to eX-
plot the white hat Sir Har-
old Macmillan was wearing
on his arrival at the Moscow
airport. This headgear now
has become a near-Symbol.
The press across the Atlantic
and in America was printing
the comment of the hatmak-
erS in the United Kingdom
and many other incidentals
connected with the white
fur cap"
In Washington, politically
minded observers hope that
the cap of Sir Harold is not a
replacement for the now
famous umbrella of Neville
Chamberlain. AS a matter of
fact, Sir Neville woke up
somewhat belatedly) from
the pleasant dream that one
can associate with ruthless
self-seeking dictators whose
dream is to conquer the
world. AS far as this
objective is concerned, there
is no difference between the
unlamented Adolph Hitler
and Nikita KhruShchev.

II is the expectation that,
as a result Of the present
visit by the two most inn
portant members Of the
Conservative British cabinet.
Messrs. Khrushchev and
Mikoyan may agree TO the
signing Of some juicy trade
exchanges. After all, the

Seldom in American history

Seldom in American history
has there been such a
scathing criticism Of the deci-
sions Of the Supreme Court
OF the United States as has
Just come from the American
Bar Association.
This has nothing to do with
the decisions of the court on
segregation or indignation.
Nor do the members Of the
bar-who by overwhelming
vote approved at the Chicago
convention this week a COM
mittee report on the subject
OF Supreme Court decisions
come from any one section OF
the country.
The action taken is a
formal disapproval Of several
decisions Of the Supreme
Court, not only in matters OF
law but in the misuse Of the
judicial power itself. The re-
port, comprising about 20
900 words, does not criticize
the Supreme Court as an in
stitution nor recommend any
limitation Of its powers, but
, does say Congress should at
once, in the proper way, en-
deavor to correct the Ill ef-
fects of the decisions. The
report declares:
Many cases have been
decided in such a manner as
to encourage an increase IN
Communist activity in the
United States through in
valuation of State sedition
statutes, and limitation OF
State and Federal investi-
eating powers in the field Of
subversion although these
cases might readily have
been disposed of without so
broadly limiting national and
State security efforts.
THE paralysis of our in
ternal security grows largely
from construction and inter
probation centering around
technicalities emanating from
our judicial process which the
Communists seek to destroy,
yet use as a refuge to mas
querade their diabolical OBJ
jectives.
This trend was treated
fully in the Conference OF
State Chief Justices last year
when they called upon the
United States Supreme Court
to exercise the power OF

Until the entrance of the
United States into World War
II the British for a hundred
years had called the tune
and provided the ultimate
leadership for the Atlantic
community of nations.
During most of that cen
tury it was the British feet
that shielded the Anglo
American alliance in every
ocean.
But in the fifteen years
from Pearl Harbor until the
other day, when British
Prime Minister Harold Mac
milan flew of from London to
Moscow, the American voice
had been decisive. The British
voice had fallen to a mere
echo of Washington. For the
great shield from the end OF
World War II has been the
American strategic air arm,
and no longer the Royal
Navy.
Now, however, Mr.. Mac
millan's mission to Moscow
has quietly turned upside
down the diplomacy OF the
allied world. Today at least,
and possibly for a fairly
lengthy tomorrow, it is Brit
ish leadership that holds the
initiative on the Western side.
A series of unrelated but
powerful historical circum-
stances has put the London
government and not the
Washington Governme n t
dominantly into the worlds
eyes. One circumstance is the
illness of our Secretary OF
State, John Foster Dulles.
Long and resolutely he had
piped the air to which the
British and all others on our
side had danced.
Another factor is the ire
sistible growth in England

States has been too COM
