There is every indication
that a new day has arrived

A striking symbol of the
altered climate was noted by
reporters on tour with Mr..
Khrushchev. In the news
papers en- route they found
big headlines on the story
that Ambassador Bohlen,
who served Presidents Roose-
welt and Truman as a Rus
sian expert, would return
soon to act in the same ca
pacity for Mr.. Herter. In the
same editions were brief
paragraphs noting that Flea

tary's sister, was about to be
transferred from her posi-
ton as Special Assistant to
the Director Of the once of
German Affairs to the staff
of a special project which
will explore economic and
financial aspects Of foreign
aid to underdeveloped coun-
tries.

the Khrushchev travels dis
cover any place where the
late John Foster Dulles
would have fitted naturally

enough for most of the

to take it in stride.
The truth Is that the
White House and State De-

recent past. 1t is equally OBJ

No Change in Berlin Situation

(Geneva) conference: even
the word crisis is used. I
think that those who do not
want an easing Of interna-
tional tension are using these
terms"
On June 10, 1859, Soviet
Premier Khrushchev In a
public speech in Moscow
said:
IF they (the Western
powers) consider our pro-
posals a threat, we can only
take pride in such q threat
because 1t does honor to our
state as an exponent Of
peace. Yes, we intend to con-
clude a German peace treaty.
One would have to be ill-used
by nature, devoid Of all nor
NAL intellectual faculties, to
condemn such intentions and
such wishes.
Consequently any slur to
the effect that the Soviet
proposals are an ultimatum,
that they brought on q cris-
is at the Geneva conference,
or the like, has come about
obviously because our propos-
ais have struck home, they
show the real way to q re-
taxing Of tension in the cen
ter Of Europe and to the liqui-
dalton Of a dangerous hotbed
for future conflicts"
On August 5, 1859, at about
the time an announcement
was made that the Soviet
Premier was planning to visit
the United States, he said
to the press in Moscow:
IF we appraise the present
state of affairs realistically,
there is obviously no hope in
the near future that the Ger
man Democratic Republic
and the Federal German Re
public will be unified into a
single state. Therefore, we
must proceed from the re-
ality-that is, from the fact
that two German states now
exist. If the present situa-
ton in Germany is consid-
cred intelligently and a way
is found to reach agreement
on this chief issue, then the
question of West Berlin will
easily be settled.
The conclusion Of a peace
treaty with Germany or the
two German states will at the
same time be a settlement Of
the Berlin question, since

end. II you have any other
suggestions, voice them. But
I don't think there is a diff
ferent way towards peace"
1t all comes down to this:
The Soviets simply say over
and over again that West
Berlin must be incorporated
into East Germany and that
the Soviet Union intends to
sign a peace treaty with the
East German Republic.
A few days ago Secretary
Of State Herter said the
United States couldn't pre-
vent the Soviet Union from
signing such a treaty.
This means that at any
time the Soviet government
can take action by itself to
announce that West Berlin
is recognized as a part of the
East German Republic. Then
it will be up to the Western
powers to determine whether
they will use force to pro-
tect the rights Of the peo-
pie Of West Berlin. That's
the corner into which the
Soviets are slowly but surely
pushing the Western powers.

limitations that were worked
out back In the years before
World War II. We will recall
that there were actual cuts
made in existing navies. that
there was a ratio Of naval

tations we're put on tonnage
and ornaments of warships.
And what did these falter-'
ing steps accomplish? When
the powers involved found it
to their interest to fiout and
ignore the treaties, they pro-
ceeded to do exactly that.
The greatest war in the his.
tory of the world was not
affected seriously by the
piecemeal, insincere, and in
adequate disarmament that
the old League of Nations
was able to bring about.
This column has already
pointed out that the pro-.
visions Of the Khrushchev
proposals for universal and
complete disarmament would
leave the Communist nations
in possession of huge land
forces armed with heavy
conventional weapons in any
event. If the Khrushchev
program were carried out to
the letter, the result would
be a world in which the free
nations would be diSarmed
while the Communist nations
still possessed millions Of
troops, albeit they would be
called policemen, or militia,
or MVD security forces. -
There can be no effective
disarmament until the day
arrives when there is a real
will for peace in the world,
in all the world. That day Is
not in sight, nor will it be in
this generation or the next. Z

which the Russians could be
stymied in their play for the
world headlines. There will
be counter proposals, there
will be plans for stage reduce
tons in ornaments. All the
proposals will be arranged
and presented, not to bring
about disarmament. but to
impress world public opinion
with the will for peace on the
part Of the proposer.
In the meantime, of course,
the arms race will go merrily
along, increasing rather than
lessening its tempo and its
monumental cost. There is
not the slightest prospect in
the foreseeable future that
the United States, for ex-
ample. will ever consent to
the abandonment of bases
abroad. These bases, in
Europe, the Middle East and
North Africa, are the insur-
ance Of the free world against
any sudden Communist ag-
erosion against free nations.
Neither is there the slight
est prospect that the Soviet
Union and its satellites will
abandon the huge land forces
they possess, or for that mat
ter the advanced capacity for
intercontinental ballistic mis-
siles that is known to be
theirs. AS for Red China, even
the talk of disarmament
leaves that aggressor nation
out of the picture entirely.
So If, in the implausible event
that the West and the Soviet
empire could achieve an ef-
fective agreement on disarm-
: ament. with a workable sys-
tenn of control and interna-
tional inspection, what would
the Peiping regime be doing

In the somewhat hysteri-
cal atmosphere engendered
by Mr.. Khrushchev's passage.
the further deterioration of
the Democratic Party's ma
tional chances in 1860 have
gone largely unnoticed.
Everyone knew that the
sullen silence at the Demo-
cratic National Committee
meeting was not to be inter-
preted as unity. The facts
were that 1t was a triumph
for Paul Butler, the National
Chairman. He rubbed no
noses in this victory. but it
was one, though it had no
signs Of permanency about it.
What happened there was
very simple. The Deep South
committeeman and Gov.
David Lawrence Of Pennsyl-
vania did not have the votes
to GUST Mr.. Butler. They then
had a look at the distasteful
alternative. This was to make
no effort to force him out
and to accept his loyalty
plan, so distasteful to most
Of the Southerners present.
This was difficult for them to
swallow.
But If they did not, they
then had to initiate an anti

have failed. 1t would have

The dismaying similarity
in the disarmament hypro-
crisy existing at the United
Nations to that which pre-
vailed in the old League of
Nations is incredible. It is
almost as II the clock had
been turned back to 1895.
Even the actors on the inter-
national stage are the same,
and the proposals have the
identical fantastic, cynical,
hollow ring.
Maxim Litvinov, then
Foreign Minister Of the So
Wet Union under Josef Stain,
proposed to the old League
at Geneva that ornaments
and all armies everywhere be
abolished forthwith. It was
this Litvinov plan that moved
Salvador de Madariaga, the
brilliant and witty Spanish
delegate, to observe that, in
the animal kingdom, the
tiger, looking at the elephant,
would require that tusks be
abolished; the elephant
looking at the tiger, would
urge that teeth and claws be
outlawed. So the story went;
each wanted to prohibit the
weapons that the others
possessed-when this was
done, said Mr.. De Madariaga,
the whole world would be
embraced in a bear hug
the Russian bear.
So very serious a problem
as disarmament should never
be a subject for levity.
Neither. by the same token,
should it be a subject for po-
litical skulduggery. But that
is exactly what it has become
at the United Nations. Since

Personal diplomacy - the
informal parley between
President Eisenhower and
Nikita KhrushchevZhas left
in its wake a mum Der Of
equivocal statements which
indicate that the situation
with respect to West Berlin
has not materially changed
from what 1t was in Novem-
Der, 1858. At that time the
Soviet government announced
that II would not tolerate in
definitely the presence Of
Allied troops in West Berlin.
While there is no time
limit on how long the Allied
troops may stay in West Ber-
lin, the Soviet government
has by no means renowned
its firm intention to press for
the early departure Of the
troops of the Western allies
from West Berlin. This "ulti-
matum" or form of duress
has never been withdrawn.
The formal statement issued
on Sunday afternoon after
the Eisenhower-K hrushchev
meeting says:
with respect to the spe-
cific Berlin question, an I'M
derstanding was reached,
subject to the approval of the
other parties directly con-
cerned, that negotiations
would be reopened with a
view to achieving a solution
which would be in accordance
with the interests Of all con-
cerned and in the interest Of
the maintenance of peace"
President Eisenhower, who
up to this time has insisted
that there must be definite
progress before there can be
q summit conference, now
says there are evidences Of
such progress. He told his
press conference yesterday:
1.-THE conditions I have set
so far. so far as I am con-
cerned-I mean the converse
tons have, so far as ! am
personally concerned - re-
moved many of the objections
that I have heretofore held;
but again this is a matter
for negotiation and consulta-
ton with our Allies. And, as
I say, the progress that mas
been made is, I can say that
we have to consider, as long as
we are going to negotiate,
that there is progress because
we are not on an impasse."
1t is important to note
that Soviet Premier Khru-

that there has never been

On March 5, 1859, in a
speech at the Leipzig fair,

Germany would also settle
the question Of West Berlin.
"At the signing of such
