There may be some question
about the genuineness Of the

Lodge Provides Challenge
So far as his meetings in
Washington with President Eli
senhower are concerned II
seems highly unlikely that any
thing similar to the Khru-
shchev-Nixon kitchen debate
could develop. The decision to
send Ambassador Lodge along
on the rest Of the trip, however,
must look to Mr.. Khrushchev
like an open challenge which
he is most unlikely to refuse.
With his United Nations
training. Mr.. Lodge is no doubt
admirably fitted to debate cold
war issues. But 1t is one thing
to debate these issues in the
U. N. assembly and quite an
other to debate them directly
and in public with the man
who could by his own decision
or by his own ill-considered
words completely change the
course Of the cold war.
To reduce international d.
plomacy to the level Of per-
sonal, public argument between
two articulate and determined
men is q dubious practice at
best. When one Of these men is
Mr.. Khrushchev, this is a high

PARIS, Sept. 12.-The great,

States does not lie in any
thing that may be said in tn

not lie either in any POSSIBLE

It lies rather in the fact tina
the Soviet leader on these oc'

Saturday for the frenzy Of
speeches" about whether Mr..
Khrushchev should visit the
Capitol building.
He reminded the Senate that

on the Communist govern
ments to loosen their controls
and pay more attention to liv-
ing standards.
II all this is so obvious, the
question arises: Why does
Khrushchev let 1t happenP
The answer among policy
makers here Is that he thinks
he can beat the game. His adj
visers tell him he is getting the
better of the high-level and
technical exchanges arranged
so far. s.,5
And others well-conversant
with Soviet policy believe he
has desperate needs that only
the United States can satisfy,
Machinery, chemical goods and
many other items Of trade.
Premier Khrushchev has
made grandiose promises about
improving the living standards
of his people. The current
seven-year plan calls for CATCH
ing up with United States pro-
duction.
Needs United States Help
II he Is going to come even
reasonably near delivering, he
viii have to have help.
That Is why Deputy Premiers
Mikoyan and Kozlov concen-
trated on American business
men once they got out Of
Washington, the experts are
convinced.
They expect Premier Khru-
shchev to take UP where his
colleagues left OF dangling
temptations before American
businessmen in the hope they
win put pressure on their Gov
eminent to expand trade with
Russia.
Bilateral trade arrangements
are another topic about which
President Eisenhower can inl
good faith negotiate with Mr.. |
Khrushchev. American officials
anticipate q pitch from the So |
Wet Premier and his advisors. |
and are prepared to talk about
the areas where a modest busi- |
ness might be started.

For every planter. with his

They were Virginians, too;

worked on the plantations,
and the servants who were

They are all set In Ireland,
and for the most part, they
deal with the ravages Of
greed and spite and fear In
the human heart. There is,
for instance, q superb vignette
Of an abominably selfish
priest. There is also q novel;
ette which shows how q
woman whose whole concern
has been for her bankroll and
the opinion Of the neighbors
finds that her capacity for
love has been eaten away by
these considerations. Miss
LAWN manages to be both
ironic and compassionate. In
"The Small Bequest.' she
shows how q proud old
aristocrat gets even from be-
.yond the grave with q pushy
and ofhcious companion. In
"A Happy DEATH" she shows
the terrible narrowness Of q
wife who has kept her hus-
bands love throughout the
squalor Of their lives and who
cannot appreciate the fact.
While many Of her stories
deal with people ground into
the earth by unjust oppres-
sors, the collection is not
monotonous. The superb
technique is refreshing.

propagandist who had faith
In Lenin."
Historic Message
And yet. when Hungary
was being oppressed by the
Soviets in the years follow

Macy did not hesitate to take

Mr.. Meray sees certain
parallels between this revo-

is perhaps because Of an in
dividual that Mr.. Mazo aptly
describes as "singularly COM
plex, Q paradoxical combina-
ton Of the qualities that
bring to mind Lincoln, Theo-
dore Roosevelt, Harry Tru-
man and Joe Mccarthy"
The author is too wise and
too objective as a craftsman
to attempt any detailed anal
ysis Of the man. But he
found him essentially a cau-
tious individual" with "polit.
ical boldness" few can match.
His domestic credo is con-
servative" while his thinking
and sometimes his actions are
surprisingly forward looking.
Often outwardly "dour and
humorless" he can be, and
often is. the life Of small
parties. And behind an ex-
terror Of political toughness
there Is an unexpected sensi-
tiveness to what he considers
unfair attacks.
