Khrushchev Puts Viqor in NATO

shchev to show the ada
NANCY he showed in Paris.
There is no commitment by
Western Europe to intervene
in that area should an ag-
gression occur. Moreover, as
in the Korean war, the So
Wet Union need not become
directly involved. Thus a
resumption of hostilities in
Asia would involve only the
United States and its Asian
allies. The Soviet Union by
refraining from active par
ticipation would not be
threatened with retaliations
which a war in Europe would
entail.
The Chinese can afford a
conflict involving military
forces far more than the Rus
slams. According to the best
available military analysis
there are three areas where
we might face a hot war in
the near future: Korea where
the Communists may wish
to take advantage of the
unstable situation; Formosa
which has been under threat
of invasion for the last 10
years: and South Wet Nam
where the Communist agita-
ton has made conditions diff
ficult for President Diem.
Certain military move
ments north of the 38th
Parallel seem to indicate that
the Chinese and Korean
Communists are getting ready
for action. In the Fukien
Province facing the FormoSa
Straits additional Chinese
ground and air forces have
been concentrated since April,
while along the armistice
border between North and
South Wet Nam the forces
of Ho Chi-minh are display
ing unusual activity.
The prospects are that the
Chinese Communists with
their 900 million people may
become the pacemakers in
the conflict between the free
and monolithic worlds which
Mr.. Khrushchev precipitated
in Paris.

Russians Involuntary Sacrifices

and fun. They want peace as
much as any other people.
And yet. because they do
not have these things, their
satellites are in the sky. The
emptiness of their lives fills
the skies with the marvellous
plenty of science.
They did not vote to have
it so. They were told. And
yet, so great is their hunger.
and so vast their pride. they
would continue to do without
on the promise that commu-
nism is the wave of the
future.
There is a savageness in
all this that the Western
peoples do not quite compre-
hend. The Western peoples
are wrong to think that the
cold war can be removed by
resolutions. A people long
deprived will easily be de-
ceived into thinking the West
plots to destroy that promised
future.
Therefore, if war is to be
avoided it can only be through
making it plain that the will
to fight is as strong as the
will for peace. This is a
struggle for survival and the
cold war, in which mutual
strength prevents conflicts,
is the only peaceful coexist-
ence we will know in this
generation.
The U-2 revealed that
Russia is vulnerable to the
striking power of the Stra-
tegic Air Command. War will
not come now. But this will
not be true forever. 1t may
be the West must make some
sacrifice, must do without
some comforts, free from be-
ing plaintive, if that cold
war is to remain cold"
All this a dummy may see,

of metal which could be fitted
with an atomic warhead.
