Kennedy Text Missed Europe

better If the exact words Of
the American President had
been read by the people Of
Europe in their own language.
1t might even be worthwhile
for the USIA or private
groups Of American citizens
to purchase advertising space
in the press of Europe and
let the people read a reprint
of the verbatim text trans
lated in their own language.
This would be valuable as an
educational effort to present
the American viewpoint, es-
pecially in the countries on
the European continent bor-
dering on the Iron Curtain.
For the speech was a model
of frankness and sincerity.
1t was as if Mr.. Kennedy had
decided to talk directly to Mr..
Khrushchev, and not merely
to the audiences in the United
States. The logic of the Presi-
dents argument would appeal
to Europeans.
For, while the Kennedy
address does not shrink from
war, it has built up a good
case against war-if only the
Soviet Premier can see that
bluff tactics will not work
and that agreements once
made between governments
that fought together as allies
during a war cannot be
changed except by the con-
sent Of all who signed such
agreements.
For it isn't just the future
of West Berlin which is at
stake. but the future of inter-
national agreements entered
into in good faith. 1t is a
turning point in world history
"a crusade for good faith
and integrity in international
negotiations.
Mr.. Kennedy's speech is
realistic, even in a domestic
sense politically. For when he
said that he could not realize
as a candidate for office last
fall what he has come to
realize since - how heavy
and constant" are the bur-
denS of the presidential office
he sounded a note of con-
fession which is good for the
soul of a President and for
the soul of a nation, too.

He is too mindful of his mill
tary weakness in comparison

otherwise. But domestically
the Moscow inspiration" is
lacking.
The main problem in Yugo-
Slavia is What will happen
when Tito disappears from
the stage?" The dictator no
longer enjoys the health and
power of work he had until
recently. 1t appears that he
is suffering from some all
mentS which are being kept
secret. Those who have seen
him in recent months say
that he has lost much of his
vivacity and punch. He gave
the appearance of a tired
and aging man. And as in
all relationships or countries
run by personal rule, there
is nobody in the offing who
can fill his shoes.
In the meantime, while
everything seems to be going
smoothly on the surface,
there are opposing trends
and groups ready to fight
each other as soon as the
marshal'S firm hand is no
longer at the helm. There
is a relatively small but
powerful PRO Molotov"
group. This is the old Stalin-
ist bunch which has tried so
hard to induce Tito to follow
all the Kremlin dictates and
actually plotted his over
throw when the first rift be-
tween Belgrade and Moscow
occurred some IL years ago.
Then there is the pro-
Khrushchev group oppor-

But from conversations
with those close to the Yugo-

of a real pressure from the
Soviet Union, he would have
no choice but to enter the
conflict as a Soviet ally.
Tito had at one time a
great dream-to bring about
a union with Bulgaria and
create a Yugoslav Bulgar
peoples republic extending
from the Adriatic to the
Black Sea. The reported
failure of a military coup in
Sofia a few weeks ago has
shattered all such chances
for the time being. Today
Russia is supreme in the
Danubian states (Hungary,
Romania and Bulgaria.. Tito
knows that any false move
on his part would bring the
whole kit and caboodle down
on him instantly.
All the same, he is smiling
from one corner of his mouth
at the Italians. He does not
appear convinced that in the
event of a clash between
East and West the Soviet
Union will have the upper
hand. And he watches. On
September l a large number
of neutralists and neutrals
will gather in Yugoslavia to
talk over their position in
the eventuality of another
world war. Tito is somewhat
disgusted with the lack Of
political understanding of
some of the African neutral
lists. He is said to have a
good deal of admiration for
India'S Premier Nehru but
suspects that somebody else
is playing his hand.
In order to give more
body" to the September
neutralist convention, Tito is
attempting to get represent
atives from either Sweden,
Finland or Ireland to par
ticipate. But he has ex-
pressed grave doubts that
the neutral and neutralist
countries can create a gen.
uine third force and stay out
of the dread conflict.

IN EUROPE - A great
speech was delivered by the
President of the United
States to the American people
on Tuesday evening, but, un-
fortunately, most Of the
people of Europe didn't have
q chance to read it in full.
This writer telephoned yes

and West Berlin, and the
answer was the same: 1--WE
waited and waited, but it
came too late for most Of
our editions.
Some will say this doesn't
matter, since Mr.. Kennedy
was really talking to Mr..
Khrushchev and the Soviet
Premier will doubtless read
the speech twice, anyhow.
But world opinion is of tre-
mendous Importance. Word
of-mouth opinion comes from
those who do read a speech
and pass their reactions on
to others. This even moves
across territorial boundaries
to peoples in enemy coun-
tries. There was no television
or radio during World War
I, but the newspapers in Eu-
rope did print fully what
President Woodrow Wilson
said in his famous speeches
that thrilled the world. En-
tnusiaSm for his ideals swept
Europe.
The responsibility for the
failure of the European news

morning the full text of the
Kennedy speech was primar-
lily inside the White House
itself. Neither the U. S. In
formation Agency nor the
Voice of America was at

promising the press aSsocia-
tions that the full text of the
speech would be available for

AiIing Tito and Rome Not Expecting
Advantage in Any Eost-West Clash

ROME, Italy.-A mild fir
tation is going on between
Italy and Yugoslavia. But
not even the most optimistic
Italians expect this to win
them any advantage in the
event of an early showdown
between the West and the
Soviet Union.
Despite the substantial
sums given by the United
States to YugoSlavia for mill
tary purposes, the Yugoslav
army is still not in a position
to sustain a Soviet onslaught
for more than a day or so.
And President Tito, who
knows this, won't stick out
his neck.
But the Italo Yugoslav
filtration is designed to lay
the foundation for closer CO.
operation in the future-in
the event there is no show
down this year or next year.
Yugoslavia is a Communist
country. But its communism
is very much watered down
by the fact that its stringent
discipline is not palatable to
the Serbs and MontenegrinS
who are the strongest ele-
mentS in this Heterogeneous
state. They thwarted enslave-
ment even when the Turk
ish empire at its height con-
quered them. And they are
not permitting Communist
doctrines to enslave them,
either. These plainsmen and
mountaineers are so stubborn
that only in death do they
yield. Tito, who is a Croatian
and not a Serb, has known
this all along. 1t is for this
reason that he did not press,
as Stain urged, the farm
communication program.
Life in Yugoslavia, accord
ing to friends recently re-
turned, is drab. Despite the
official label of Communist
Republic" Yugoslavia is a
Socialist rather than a Mos
COW or Peiping kind of Com
munist dictatorship. Rela-
tions between the govern
ment-appointed bosses and
the workers in the national
lied plants are cordial. They
both seem to be making
money "a dreadful express
sion but acceptable under
another terminology in Tito
land) and are allowed to keep
it. What is more important,
it is paying investment divi-
dends since there is no COM
pulsion to invest in govern
ment bonds alone.
Tito enjoys, according to
creditable foreign inform
ants, extreme popularity. His
prestige as the leader of the

The difference in time-at
least five hours between Eu-
rope and America-was the
root OF the difficulty, but
this was a fact known in
advance. Better planning
could easily have overcome
the obstacle.
It was already 3 o'clock
yesterday morning in London
and Paris when the President
went on the air at 10 o'clock
Tuesday evening in Washing
ton. But early word from the
White House was that the
text of the speech would be
ready around 4 o'clock Tues
day afternoon and it had
been expected that transmits
sion by the press associations
would start not later than
S o'clock. This was only 10
O'Clock in Europe, and there
was time for translation and
for publication in editions of
morning papers going to press
around midnight. But it was
not until 8 o'clock in Wash
ington, or o'clock yesterday
morning in Europe, that the
speech was made available to
the press and began to move
across the Atlantic by cable
and radio. It was too late
then for the morning papers
to do much with it except to
give it brief space in sum-
mary form. Repeating ex-
cerpts from the text by tele-
vision and radio through tape
recordings is helpful, but these
do not come to the people in
their own language.

in Europe. moreover, are of
the feature type and do not
give space to full texts. The

inclined to repeat on the
