DAVID LAWRENCE
Negotiating With Russians

the initiative In this confer
ence Is held by Nikita Khru-
shchev. What he tells his
foreign ministers to do Is the
key.
Would It be any different
at q summit conference2 The
answer is necessarily Mega
tive. For. while it might be
assumed that the Soviet
Premier could make up his
mind on the spur of the
moment, the questions in
volved are far too complex
and relate to too many other
problems TO be given an i'm
promptu treatment. The big
gest fallacy in the world is
that. because the Soviets
have a one-man dictatorship.
the answers to broad Ques-
tons Of international policy
affecting the relations Of the
East and West can quickly
be given. Even If there were
concessions from the Soviet
side. further study would be
required and also subsequent
verification to find out what
the spoken words mean when
reduced to writing.
This has been a frustrating
experience in the past, and
there is no reason to believe
a change in technique will
come from q man who thinks
he has the Western world at
his mercy. Khrushchev talks
glibly every now and then in
conciliatory phrases. but they
all add up to a demand for
the unconditional surrender
of the West.
Any summit meeting will
prove useless, just as the con-
ference here has already
demonstrated, because the
Soviets think they can outlast
the West. They believe they
can win nv frightening orr
side or by getting the propa-
ganda help of those politi-
clans in Western countries
who seek to make capital out
Of the inability Of their own
governments to change by
diplomatic negotiation the
behavior Of the Communist

New Danger of High Tariffs

here Of high trade barriers.
It would strike q blow at the
large and successful efforts
which have been made by
many of our great industries
to place themselves on an
export basis The United
States has a duty to itself as
well as to the world, and it
can discharge this duty by
widening. not by contract
ing, its world markets"
This concept applies with
equal force today. Many Of
our great industries have
placed themselves on an ex-
port basis. In an increasingly
populous world, We must
trade.
1t is a thorny problem Of
almost maddening complex
ity. The unemployment is not
general. It is confined to
what might be called pock-
cts. Coal miners and some Of
the less-skilled auto assem-
bly, line workers will not be
needed again in their old
jobs. New machinery has
abolished those jobs. Shall
they be trained for new ones,
in subsidized industries COM
peting with nonsubsidized?
Is the only solution for the
middle-aged coal miners Q
permanent dole?
These questions must some
how be answered.
We have plenty Of gold.
There is no reason to fret
about that.
But there is cause for con-
Germ about our lack of export
trade and the fact that for
eign traders prefer to take
their balance In gold rather
than dollars.
II the only answer to these
complexities is a recurrence
Of high tariff. then, indeed,
will the future darken.

Mediterranean Group Viewed cs Acting
For Self-PreseN0tion, in NATO or Out

While the representatives
Of the Big -Four are wran-
Cling and shadow-boxing at
Geneva. q new political con-
stellation is quietly being
forged by nations within and
outside the NATO coalition.
The plans for such a new
alliance. with political and
economic overtones rather
than military, began soon
after Gen. Charles de Gaulle
took over the reins in France.
It Is taking shape in much
less time than anticipated.
When 1t comes to fruition-
possibly within less than a
year--it will consist Of coun-
tries in the area Of the Med
iterranean: Spain, Portugal,
France, Italy, Greece and
Turkey. The possibility Of
adding the UAR, whose presi-
dent. Canal Nasser. is try
ing to get out of the Mos
COW clutches, Is also consid-
cred.
The forgers Of the new alli-
ance are convinced that
Western Germany as well as
Belgium, the Netherlands,
and Denmark eventually will
join. The new political con-
stellation has as its main
objective self preservation
within the NATo, If possible,
outside If necessary.
There have been many po-
litical men in the area who
for some time have favored
the creation Of such a coali-
ton. But this was not pos
sible for several reasons: the
past political instability Of
France; the unfavorable eco
nomic conditions in the area,
and finally the Greek Turkish
conflict over Cyprus which,
until recently, made impos-
sible the creation of an east
ern wing" The advent OF
Gen. de Gaulle as a genuine
French leader-the first in
many generations-gave an
impetus to the idea. The set
tlement Of the Cyprus crisis
not only contributed greatly
to re-establishment Of cordial
relations between Greece and
Turkey but also rendered

Effects of Unfortunate Problem
On Mide0st and Africa Is Pondered

GENEVA. - The Vests
special difhculties in waging
the talking war have erupted
In public In due course.
The British were reported
to be anticipating the con-
ference results by doing busi-
ness with the Russians and
even with East Germany. A
rival source, notably friendly
with the British, then por-
trayed them as preferring to
be conformist and wrong on
conference tactics, rather
than heretical and right, at
the cost of being called APP
peasers.
The British blamed the
French and West Germans
for their problems in trying
to act as the conference
brokers. Allied disharmony
became topic "A" over the
dull week end.
Gen. Charles de Gaulle
chose the moment to veto
San Francisco as the site for
o possible summit meeting.
san Francisco is where Soviet
Premier Nikita Khrushchev
longs to go, and the rather
better behavior of the Rus
slams here is largely attrib-
uted to that longing. Most
of the West sees no reason to
deny him on that score,
admitting the difnculties but
believing he might learn
something after q good look
at the United States.
The United States is play
ing peacemaker. a notably
unrewarding role. The only
people who are clear about
what the next steps ought to
be are those who came here
with their minds made up
one way or another.

decide whether to laugh or
cry. As in the case Of the

0ENEVA-What q lot Of
fancy names there are in pub
lie affairs to make people be-
lieye that things are different
from what they really are. For
instance, the impression Is
widely held--as a result Of
extensive publicity - that
there is somehow q real diff
ference between q foreign
ministers conference and q
summit meeting Of heads Of
state.
But the fact is that each Of
the foreign ministers here Is
In constant and instantaneous
touch with the head Of his
own government and would
not dare make any move
without consulting his chief
Of state.
Then there's the theory
that q negotiation is taking
place here. The assumption Is
that three men are sitting
down with a fourth to talk
things out and, In q sort OF
Rive-and-take way, are try
ing to and a means Of agree
ing on something substantial
TO improve the world situa-
ton. Actually, the Foreign
Ministers Conference now has
been going on for q week-and-
a-half and there hasn't been
q single occasion when the
four principals sat down to-
gether without q lot Of advis-
ers, secretaries. translators
and other personnel present
taking notes. Each meeting is
virtually public and not a pri-
vate consultation at all. The
press is briefed Immediately
afterward.
What may surprise many
people Is that every subject
discussed here has been
threshed out by planning
committees and policy boards
on both sides and within each
government over a long pc
Rod prior to this conference.
So there is no such thing as
an off-the-cuff negotiation,
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1959-05-21

though at social gatherings
occasionally some frank ex-
changes occur.
The three Western foreign
ministers came here recon-
ciled to the idea that the
first week or more Of the
conference would be devoted
to speech-making and prop
uganda operations. but they
were convinced that sooner
or later there would have to
be restricted sessions. with
the consultations confined to
the four foreign ministers
and perhaps a limited NUM-
Der Of advisory personnel.
But the question now has
arisen as to who shall attend
restricted sessions-four for
eign ministers or six? Over
the radio, the SovietS have
already told the people be-
hind the Iron Curtain that
this Is really q six-power
conference and that the en-
voys from East and West
Germany, respectively, are
are participants and not Just
observers.
So the first obstacle that
has to be overcome is to undo
the damage that was done by
giving the East and West
German ENJOYS places at any
table-round or square. Ger
taihly there cannot be any
intimate discussion by the
four foreign ministers If they
have to do their talking in
the presence Of the East and
West German representatives
and If everyone is taking
notes.
Until there are fever per-
sons in the conference room.
there will be no such thing
as a negotiation in the sense
in which the term is ordinar-
lily used. But even II there
were a chance to negotiate.
would the foreign ministers
be able to deviate from their
previously adopted positions?
To a certain extent this is
possible on both sides, but

New Alliance of Free Nations

Of the NATo naval command
which Is under a British
admiral. One reason among
others for this move, which
was tacitly supported by
Italy. Is that the Italian
French navies are far supe-
rior to that Of the British.
This does not mean that
these nations to whom we
have given unstinting eco
nomic and military assistance
win turn against us: quite the
contrary. it will mean a fur
ther strengthening of the free
nations in Europe. But the
real underlying consideration
which is prompting the accel-
Grafton of arrangements is
that all Of them without
exception have begun to fear
that America, under the i'm
pact of the "neo-liberalism"
which is making itself felt
increasingly in political and
intellectual quarters, may
eventually come to terms with
international communism.
Secretary Dulles was not a
particularly popular man
among our allies. But since
his disappearance from the
American diplomatic scene it
is felt in the Mediterranean
capitals that the free world
has lost its staunchest and
most formidable defender.
The statements and par
ticularly the attitudes Of
many neo-liberals in this
country who may assume con-
troll of the executive and leg
islative branches of the Gov
eminent in 1851 are causing
concern among those allies Of
ours. They fear-and their
fear is based on the stand
taken in Congress and out

conferences opening argyll
ment over a square versus a
round table, the situation
lends itself to derision, and
yet the substance Of the con-
ference could scarcely be
more important.
Perhaps these difficulties
are inherent in a Western
alliance, whose members have
"a free. and in some cases I'M
inhibited, press. Better press
arrangements would certainly
help some.
For the decision already
has been taken by the West
that a talking war is better
than. either a hot war or cold
war. That is why this very
expensive conference Of top
talent is taking place with the
almost complete assurance
that another one even more

about what tactical progress
must be made before the
summit, it is accepted that
