Attitude of Optimism

But there has been no hasty
reversal of attitudes in the foreign
Offices of the Western allies.
Rather there is taking place q
sober reappraisal. This reap
praisal is not. to most diplomats,
an "agonizing" one, to use again
a famous phrase coined by the
late Secretary of State John
Foster Dulles. On the contrary,
there is a prevalent attitude Of
optimism. cautiously expressed at
this point, that the world may
possibly stand on the threshold Of
a long period of peace.
Mr.. Eisenhower, in making his
decision to expend his energies
in preparing we'll for the forth.
coming negotiations with the
Communist world, appears to be
under no illusion that an auto
matte millennium is at hand. His
awareneSs of the political realities
in world affairs today is cogently
expressed in his remark that
peace and friendship" must also
include the worlds with free
dom" The peace he seeks is not
the peace of appeasement, or Of
surrender. He has voiced his
doubts about what Soviet leaders
really mean when they refer to
the spirit of Camp David"
Yet he is plainly determined to
explore fully the possibilities in
the Moscow new look" He has
at his elbow a very practical
diplomat, Robert Murphy, who
has never had a reputation for
softness in dealing with the Com
munist world. In the course Of
his trip, he will listen carefully
to the arguments of his hosts, and
among these will be militant anti
Communists such as Turkeys
Prime Minister Adnan Menderes
and Spain's Generalissimo Fran
cisco Franco, as well as neutralists
like India's Nehru and peace
makers like Tunisia's Habib
Bourguiba.
From the Soviet Union and
from other nations of the Socialist
camp, there comes nothing but
praise for the Eisenhower mis-
sion. There has been one signifi-
cant exception: Communist China.
In bitter blasts over Radio Peking,
the Chinese regime has attacked
the trip as a new attempt of the
western imperialists" to align
the Communist world against
the peoples democracies. Here,
once again, appears evidence that
the government of Mao TIE -tung
differs materially in its attitudes
toward world peace from the
announced policies of the Krem-
lin. Last week there were even
reports, happily unconfirmed, that
Peking might be planning a re-
newed assault on Formosa, the
Matsus, or elsewhere in Asia to
dull the impact of the Eisenhower
peace mission.

Support for NATO

But Gen. de GauIle was said to
have successfully reasSured Mr..
Adenauer on the question of
NATO. Agreeing that integra-
ton of the Vests military forces
was essential to the defense of
Western Europe, the French
President repeatedly assured the
German Chancellor that France
would support the military status
quo of NATO forces. A condition,
however, was that the entire prob
lem of Western military DISPOSE
tions be subject to a long-term
review. Gen de Gaulle has made
plain his intention to arm France
with an independent nuclear strik-
ing force as soon as the French
atomic bomb has been tested sue
ceSsfully. But Mr.. Adenauer ar
gued, and the French President
agreed, that for the immediate
future it would be essential that
United States military forces pro-
vide the core of European defenses.
On the subject of the summit
conference with the Russians, the
two statesmen agreed that dis
armament should be the first or
der of business. Then, they sug-
gested, the summit m citing
should consider the question of
"non-interference in the internal
affairs of other nations" aid to
underdeveloped nations, German
reunif1cation, and the problem of
the future status of West Berlin.
Mr.. Adenauer has insisted all
along that the Berlin question
must be considered in the con-
text of general settlement of the
entire German reunification prob
lem.

Ant0rctiC0:
FrozenPeoce

During the l8 months Of the
International Geophysical Year,
scientists of IL nations cooper
ated in harmony on Joint prof.
ects to learn more about the earth
and the universe. Much was
added to mankind's knowledge Of
the world we live in, and last
week it appeared highly possible
that the ICY had made another
significant contribution.
After considering the effective
cooperation between the nations
sending ICY teams to Antarctica,
President Eisenhower suggested
that the vast subcontinent be for
ever reserved as a field for scien-
tiflc research from which political
and military rivalries would be
barred For several weeks, repre-
Sentatives of IL nations have been
discussing such an agreement in
Washington. and last Tuesday a
treaty was signed.
Under the terms of the treaty,
each signatory nation has at all
times the right to inspect the
activities Of others in Antarctica,
Nuclear explosions of any nature
are banned, as are military in
stallations. Scientists of any
member nation can go to any
part Of the subcontinent they
wish, with each nation retaining
jurisdiction over its own nationals.
Probably the most important
contribution the treaty makes to
world peace is its freezing" of all
territorial claims and, in effect.
the making of any new claims.
Argentina. Australia, Britain.
Chile, France, New Zealand and
Norway have in the past made
formal claims to sections of Ant
arctica. Argentina, Chile and
Britain have long been at odds
over conflicting claims. The in
standardization provided by the
treaty, however. is expected to
make tne claims issue moot in
time.
In addition to the claimant
nations, other nations signing the
pact were Belgium, Japan, South
Africa, the Soviet Union and the
United States. President Eisen-
hover described the treaty as "a
significant advance toward the
goal of a peaceful world with
Justice" And the Soviet Unions
First Deputy Foreign Minister.
Vastly V. KuznetSov, observed that
the pact and the amicable con-
ference reflect a definite i'm.
provement in international situa-
tions."
To become effective, the treaty
must be ratified by the govern
ments of the IL Signatory nations,
No difficulty is anticipated in
ratification, however.

Bitter Atmosphere

The atmosphere of the first
meeting on Tuesday was charged
with bitterness. The United
States Steel Corp, the largest
producer of them all. had just
circulated among it's employees the
terms Of what it called its last
offer"
1t was the same offer as in
dustry made two weeks before
and which had been rejected as
absolutely unacceptable" by the
union. The companies said the
offer was worth 80 cents-an-hou
over a three-year period; the
union figured its value at % cents.
Mr.. Mcdonald was incensed by
the circular and called it prop
aganda aimed at confusing the
workers" If it is, indeed, the
"last offer" from the companies,
the workers would vote on it be-
tween January and 81, under
terms of Taft-Hartley. If they
reject it, they would be free to
strike when the injunction runs
out on January 26.
At this juncture, it appears
more and more that the union and
industry are prepared to let the
string run out on Taft-Hartley
and gamble on the consequences.
But while the steel outlook
remained bleak, there was cheer
ing news on another labor front
last week. The International
Longshoremen's Association and a
key group of shippers reached
basic agreement on a new master
contract for all dockers from
Maine to Virginia.
This all but ruled out a new
East and Gulf Coast pier strike
when a Taft-Hartley injunction
expires on December 27. The in
junction ended an eight-day
strike that began last September
80. The dockers begin to vote
on the new contract and detailed
pactS for the principal ports on
December 10.

Those who have been wondering
and their number is legion

agencies would take some positive

New Bills Foreseen

Both Attorney General Rogers
and Labor Secretary Mitchell
have been working on proposals
to Congress. which reconvenes
January 6, calling for new weap-
ons for the President to handle
major strikes. The Taft-Hartley
Act could be amended to require
the President to recommend terms
Of q settlement; to set up a longer
than 80-day cooling of period or
to require compulsory arbitration.
In addition to these possibilities,
Mr.. Eisenhower, with the help Of
his advisors. could draw up rec
commendation for a settlement
and tell the union and industry
that If they do not agree to the
terms he will attempt to rally pub
lie pressure behind them.
The President, in his address to
the Nation, took no note of a sug-
gestion along the above line sent
to the White House hours earlier
by David ]. Mcdonald, chief Of
the United Steelworkers Of
America.
Mr.. Mcdonald urged Mr.. Eisen-
hover to call his special three
man fact-finding board together
and direct it to recommend a fair
settlement. The union chief said
that the USW "agrees and pledges
that it will negotiate a settlement
within the framework of the
boards recommendations"
The Mcdonald plan drew a
sharp rejection by r. Conrad
Cooper. chief industry negotiator,
who asserted that union strategy
all along has been aimed at get
ting Government-directed settle
ment.
Mr.. Eisenhowers tough talk was
having no immediate effect on the
contending parties. Brought to-
gether earlier in the week for the
first time since the Supreme Court

ton. each reported through the

The WEEK IN PERSPECTIVE
Peace With Freedom

I'VE haze heard much of the
phrase peace and friendship;
this phrase, in expressing the
aspirations of America, is not
complete. We should say in
stead peace and friendship. NTH
freedom This, think, is
Americas real message to the
tDorld."
On this note, President Eisen-
hover set forth on a dramatic and
certainly grueling journey that
will take him to IL capitals in
as many nations. At SO. appar-
emily we'll and vigorous despite a
heart attack. surgery for ilieitis,
and a minor cerebral hemorrage,
Mr.. Eisenhower has undertaken
a mission that would make many
a younger man hesitate.
But the Presidents long-known
chief ambition has been to leave
the White House at the end Of
his term in January, 1861 with
the certain knowledge that he has
contributed to the cause of a dur
able, honorable peace. The So
Wet Unions year-old campaign
for a detente with the West in a
workable peaceful coexistence"
has given him his greatest OPP
portunity.
The President is reported as
determined to test the Soviet
sincerity, and to achieve as much
unity and good will as he can
among Americas allies and also
among the "non-aligned" ma
tions of Asia and Africa as he can.
With a measure of success in
this, he can go to the Western
pre-summit meeting on December
10 with a prestige sure to make
easier the difficult negotiations
with the Russians that are almost
certain to take place next spring.
Transitional" is perhaps the
most accurate description now of
United States foreign policy, as
well as the foreign policies of all
the Western allies. Entirely gone.

Many diplomats saw in the
Adenauer DE Gaulle meeting
signs that the two leaders were
determined to stiffen the Western
approach to negotiations with the
Soviet Union, in the belief that
both Britain and the United
