Senator Johnson's Suggestion for Farley
OF Free Motions Is Commended

Democratic Leader Lyndon
johnson. who usually leaves
announcements and sugges-
tons on foreign affairs to
colleagues such as Senators
Fulbright, Mansfield, Hum
phrey and even Wayne Morse,
came up q couple Of days
ago with the sanest PROPOSE
ton made in a long time.
He suggested a summit meet
ing of the free nations Of the
world.
The realistic majority lead
err knows only too well that
the proposed summit meet
ing with Kremlin Boss Nj
kita Khrushchev will serve
only Mr.. ks propaganda
purposes and will not bring
about the slightest genuine
relaxation of tension. At best.
such a gathering can result
in q coexistence agreement
which the Texan once de-
scribed as a "coexistence Of
the Incompatible"
Only the fanatical devotees
of peace at any price are
supporting and presenting the
administration into attending
a meeting Of the heads of the
three big Western powers and
the Red dictator. The conten-
ton Of the Democratic ma
jority leader is that the free
world is not necessarily rep
resented by the heads of state
of America, Britain and
France.
1t is said that the Western
Big Three heads Of state rep
resent the nations which
have the greatest military
and economic potential. hence
they should be entitled to
speak for the rest Of the free
nations. This is not in ac-
cordance with the principles
Of democracy which we are
championing. A real inter-
national relaxation must be
the result Of the acceptance
Of any deal with the Commu-
mist dictatorship by all who
are threatened by the Red
terrorists. And at this time
the smaller countries in Asia
and Africa face far more the
threat Of losing their free
doms than the Big Three or
some Of the Europeans.
Big powers, particularly
those with a long diplomatic
history, are known to be self

A Free World Summit Meeting

plating approaches to Mos
COW which could result in
saving their skins. This Is
true particularly of some Of
the nations in the Middle
East which have seen dis
guised communism triumph
IN countries such as Iraq
which was befriended in the
past by the Western democ-
racies.
A meeting at the summit
for the heads OF the free
world would permit these
men to thresh out all their
ideas and bluntly place be-
fore their allies all their
fears and misgivings. It
would also result in a closer
and better understanding
between all the remaining
members Of the system Of
alliances and coalitions we
have established since l949.
At the present time the
manner in which we handle
international tensions Is
strongly favored with the
condiments used before the
last two world wars and
smacks too much of power
politics. This is in keeping
with the ideas of Mr..
Khrushchey in whose empire
neither his own Russians
nor the satellites have any
thing to say about their
fate. But it is not in keep
ing with the ideals we are
.ceaselessly propounding to
the rest of the free world.

GENEVA. - An optimism
here that is lacking in the
foreign ministers conference
on Germany appears in the
nuclear tests c conference,
which is officially in recess
but has been proceeding since
october 81 last.
Unfortunately, 1t is not
based on solid achievement
but on q presently favorable
pattern etched in those cele-
,brated shifting sands, the
Russians.
This pattern appeared in
the original talks during
which the Russians are I'M
usually patient. It was
strengthened by Soviet For
eign Minister Andrei Gromy-
ko in private talks with Sec
rotary Of. State Christian
Herter and British Foreign
Minister Selwyn Lloyd. Now
Soviet Premier Nikita
: Khrushchev has displayed a
conciliatory temper in an ex-
change Of letters with Presi-
dent Eisenhower. The swift
result Of Gromyko's remarks
was a suggestion that a step
forward in the atomic test
field might be considered that
progress" which Mr.. Herter
continues to insist is q pre-
liminary to a summit meet
ing. This was denied by the
Americans. who are still sep
arating the German and the

us. Secretary Warns Soviets at Geneva
Thot Summit Depends on Progress

conference that the East or
West German ENJOYS should
speak only II no objection is
raised BY the members Of the
four power conference. It
had been agreed at the out
set that. when either the East
or West German representa-
tive wanted to talk. the chair
man would ask the other for
eign ministers II there we're
any objection. Mr.. Gromyko
took advantage Of his turn
as chairman to let the East
German representative make
q speech without giving the
other three foreign ministers
q chance to object. Mr.. Her
ter was scheduled to speak,
but Mr.. Gromyko went ahead
and gave the nod to the East
German, anyhow.
The incident was not inn
portant In itself. but 1t
showed how untrustworthy Is
the word Of the Soviets. They
have been eager to give the
impression that this is q six
power" conference and that
East Germany is on a basis Of
equality with all the other
countries here. This is sup
posed to be effective propa-
ganda behind the Iron Cur
tain.
But incidents like these
are rapidly steering the con-
ference into the realm Of
deadlock and failure. The
SoyietS now have taken ad-
vantage of the widely. re-
ported story that, If the
present conference fails,
Lnere VIII De 3 summit meet
ing anyhow, and that no
agreement Is even then nee
essary because there would
be a succession of summit
conferences thereafter.
This writer asked some-
one close to one Of the West
ern delegations whether this
concept was favored and was
told that the proposal was
regarded as q big mistake,
originated by Senator Full
bright, Democrat, chairman
Of the United States Senate
Foreign Relations Commit
tee. It's an example of con-
gressional meddllng in dip
lomatic negotiations, respon-
sibility for the conduct OF
which is really vested by the
Constitution in the execu-
tive branch of the United
States Government.

DAVID LAWRENCE
Herter Gives Gromyko the Word

For, II 9 series Of foreign
ministers conferences and
summit meetings are to be
promised. then there Is no
pressure for agreement now
--indeed. no sense Of urgency
at All. That's why the cur
rent conference is founder
ing.
One Of the chief difnculties
here Is the propaganda build
up In advance Of the con-
ference. The word from
America was that the Presi-
dent couldn't possibly turn
down q bid to go to a SUM
init meeting because Of politi-
cal opposition. Also the news
reports implied that the Al
lies had a package plan but
already were prepared for
"fall back proposals. This
was given q wrong twist this
week in some newspaper
articles. which said that
American officials we're ready
to talk about the status Of
Berlin alone and had aban-
doned their advocacy Of the
package" plan. The truth
is that, in q general discus
sion the other day, some Of
ficials said. in effect. that,
II the conference failed to
reach any agreement on the
whole package" it might
have to decide on the status
of Berlin during any recess
or adjournment.
For there is one thing clear.
The United States is not go
ing to proceed on the assump-
ton that the signing Of a
peace treaty" between East
Germany and the Soviet
Union changes one iota the
legal rights of the Allies to
police the area known as
West Berlin as specified in
previous agreements approved
by the wartime Allies, in
GLIDING the Soviet Union.
1t would be tragic, Of
course. If no progress were
made at the current con-
ference, but the whole pro-
ceeding may be Of great
value nevertheless as an eye
opener to the many credulous
persons on this side of the
Iron Curtain who have
thought the Soviet regime
was abandoning its trickery
and was ready to qualify as
q respectable and honest
government in world society.
