Tension hung over the Carib-

The fig hting capped five

yard.
The chant - Li-ber-tad, Lii
ber-tad rose in a deafening
crescendo. People waved home
made placards saying "Out
With the TruJillos," and
Sanctions Hurt the TyrantS
Not the People"
This last slogan goes right TO
the heart of the opposition
argument. They note that the
Trujillo family over the years
has gained ownership of so
per cent of the country's in
dustry and commerce. 1t takes
rs per cent of sugar income
the major product of the coun-
try. The family'S total assets
in foreign banks are estimated
at more than 81 billion.
The opposition leaders say
the economic stagnation really
set in four years ago. and has
been only accelerated by the
OAS action. Since the wealth
is so much in the hands of
the chosen few, they argue,
only they and not the common
man suffer from the boycott.
THE only reason the gov-
ernment wants the sanctions
removed" said a bitter UCN
leader, "is to start the dollars
flowing into Trujillo foreign
bank accounts again."
These leaders scott at the
suggestion that communism is
the only alternative to the
present regime. They say-and
experienced observers agree
Communist standing among
the masses is negligible because
democrats who have suffered
offer another alternative.
But they think that alterna-
tive will evaporate if the old
machine with a new face gets
back in the good graces Of the
United States.

we believe in the United
States" said DR.. Luis Manuel
Baquero, "and we shall not
change our ideals like dirty
shirts. But if we fail and the
sanctions are lifted, then the
people will pass us by like out
dated ornaments"
The great weakness in the
opposition position is the fact
1t has no clear idea of how
to get rid of the Trujillo fam
lily. Buying out their vast hold

DAVID LAWRENCE

Lately there have been
rumors and stories floating
around here that the United
States is planning some kind
Of military mobilization.
One report circulated in
stock-market circles has been
that President Kennedy was
being urged to declare a
limited emergency" and
that perhaps he would do it.
Nothing could worsen the
situation more than tactics
Of obvious bluff. Any idea
that a partial mobilization"
would at this time show the
Russians we mean business"
is fallacious. For, with an
open society like that in the
United States and an un-
controlled press, every de-
tail of such a mobilization"
would be published, and the
SovietS would soon be able
to measure how remote the
possibility was that any such
steps would mean anything
in a military way.
For the world has changed
a good deal since the mo
biliZation" which preceded
World War I in 1914. It
started a chain reaction then
that made war inevitable. 1t
gave no latitude for nego-
tiation Of a peaceful settle
ment.
The same thing was true
prior to 1889. Secret diplom-
acy produced an agreement
between the Soviets and
Hitler that actually brought
on World War II. For Hitler
was sure he could win with
the help of Stalin's armies.
Today the Russians would
like nothing better than an
excuse to mobilize their own
millions of soldiers. 1t would
be welcomed in the Kremlin
as an opportunity to divert
the attention of the people
from their food shortages
and other internal troubles.
If it becomes necessary to

times that firmness has to be
simulated at all. There has
been altogether too much
talking big and then doing
little to back up the words of
the diplomats. One reason
for this is the confusion in
the western camp. Each
country not only feels it must
have its formula Of negotia-
ton accepted. but there are
times when one partner weak
ems and holds back the other
allies.
What would impress the
Kremlin more than anything
else would be a demonstra-
ton of unity by the West.
This means joint communica-
tions in unequivocal terms
signed by all the partners,
putting an end to the system
Of separate dealings with
Moscow by Britain, France
and the United States.
Nikita KhruShche is
counting, for example, on the
divergence of view among the
Western allies as to the
measures to be taken with
respect to Berlin. He has seen
no evidence that the Allies
have united on any policy or
have decided what they would
do If Berlin's status is
changed by force.
The most Salutary thing
that could happen would be
for the Allies to define their
position and stick to it. Un-
happily, while recent notes
indicate adherence to the
principle OF retaining west
Berlin as is, there is a hint of
a willingness somehow to
change-to retreat. 1t is this
backing and filling which
creates the real danger. No
amount of parading of mill
tary forces will alter the
image Of disunity which the
Western allies present from
day to day in dealing with
the crisis provoked by the
Moscow government. It's time
for a demonstration of diplo-
matte unity.

While the President makes
UP his mind on these matters,
nothing else will really en-
gage the attention Of WASH

are too clearly the central

Many members Of Congress
now believe they dominate
the emotions Of the public as

concerned over reports that
travel abroad has fallen off
badly and they do not at
tribute it to the domestic

Presidents exhortations about
the dollar.
1t Is their view that at this

sia, it would be better to do
it by the slow but effective
methods of economic boycott
and trade restriction without
the spectacular m e assures S
that military mobilization in
volve. Furthermore. the So
viets would be much more
deeply impressed by any
such program Of sacrifice
than by a theatrical demon
stration on the military side.
But. even conceding that
some military move is neces-
sary, what should it be and
how could it be carried out?
Is a mobilization" of land
armies in Europe of any real
value in an era of missiles
and long-range bomber
planes? Also, these days it
doesn't mean much to place
just an extra division or
two in Europe or to go
through some land or naval
maneuverS. Demonstrations
of many of the new weapons
of war have been going on
for some time now at Cape
Canaveral and California
bases.
AS a matter of fact, the
theory that a show Of mill
tary might will prove any,
thing to the Kremlin is based
on the notion that the mill
tary superiority of the West
is accepted in Moscow.
Mr.. Khrushchev, of course,
knows better than anyone
else in the world that a
nuclear war would not mere
ly destroy much of his en-
pire but would mean the end
of Communist Imperialism in
these times, just as it meant
the end of militarism in
Japan and Germany Is years
ago. 1t could produce internal
revolution in Russia and in
the satellite states.

PARIS, France-Marianne
Is like some other beautiful
women who look best from a
distance when certain
wrinkles and dark circles do
not show. What President
de Gaulle has managed to
give La Belle France is the
brilliance Of her eyes which
reflect her new-found soul.
1t is in this context that
q solicitous foreigner tries
to look at France today. AS
do the other countries Of the
world, she has serious do
nestle and far more serious
international troubles.
But in responsible French
quarters-that is, those who
claim to know the French
Presidents mind and inten-
tons - the international
crisis is looked upon with
more confidence than at any
time since the end of the last
war.
For the first time, these
quarters say, the NATO is

Premier Khrushchev decide
that the internal situation IN
the Soviet Union and satel-
lite countries demands that
he act with physical bru-

Nobody in the prosperous
West wants another blood

in the last few weeks even the
reluctant United Kingdom
has decided that any policy
other than standing firm
against the Red arrogance
would lead to a slow death
and the doom Of Western
Christian civilization.

Congress Believed Awaiting Presidents
Conclusion on Berlin, A-Tests and Arms

This whole week is a holi-
day for the United States
Congress, its last real breath
ing spell before the harsh
and tiring home stretch on
legislation. It is also, in a
sense, a last real breathing
spell for President Kennedy
as he, ponders Berlin and the
related issues of disarmament
and resumption of nuclear
tests.
For leading Democrats are
convinced that the President
must soon make an end to
the long private debate about
his own course on these is
sues. He will find them put
ting increasing pressure on
him to take charge" in the
manner he appeared to ad-
mire during his campaign
last year.
This feeling in Congress
that the country was ready
for a change of pace from the
slow and safe Eisenhower
tempo has been a matter of
slow growth. In the first
months following Mr.. Ken
nedy's victory his congress
sional leaders seemed entirely
content with his conciliatory
attitudes. his bipartisan ap-
pointments, his refusal to
force the pace in any area of
Government.
There is no one clear source
OF their present dissatisfac-
ton, except possibly Cuba.

Alliance Believed Ready for First Time
For Showdown With Soviet Union

President Kennedy fully
realizes the dangers of side
stepping the Berlin issue.
VIII a tever hesitations the
American President may have
had about firm action have
been diSsipated after his
hours-long talk with the i'm
pressive and forceful French
leader. say those close to
Gen. de Gaulle.
Accord ing to genuinely
well-informed sources, Mr..
Kennedy and Gen. de Gaulle
agreed that any further
yielding to the Soviet de-
mandS would be fatal and
that Mr.. Khrushchev'S chal-
lenge over Berlin must be
met, regardless Of conse-
quenceS. In fact, the de-
termination of the free West
to stand firm would more
likely avoid than create a
new holocaust.
Gen. de Gaulle has decided
to transfer back to the Rhine
and beyond-at least three
Of the IL divisions now in
Algeria. The transfer of one
has been announced Official
ly. Transfer Of the other two
is expected in the near fu-
ture-aS soon as the situa-
ton requires a further warn
ing to Mr.. KhruSchev that if
he wants trouble he can have
it. French military leaders
even say that since the AL
gerian solution is close at
hand, the government can
move as many as eight di-
visions to the European thea
ter.
Gen. De Gaulle's thinking
is that the Algerian solution
depends on how determined
opposition the West can show
to the Communist challenge.
The French troops in Al
geria cannot help solve that

problem But the same
French troops on the Rhine
and beyond can be inStru-
mental in restraining Mr..
Khrushchev and forcing him
to eat his own words.
The weakest portions of
the Soviet defenses are her
satellites. A Western-sup-
ported uprising in any of
these could spread like a
prairie fire throughout the
Red empire. French pro-
paganda with only limited
funds is making headway in
Poland, Romania, Bulgaria
and even in cowed and servile
CzechoSlovakia.
For centuries French in
fluence has had a powerful
impact on the Eastern coun-
tries. Their entire culture is
derived from the French.
France was not much in
spiration to the Russian
enslaved peoples until Gen.
de Gaulle revived the spirit
and strength of France. But
since then, to the satellite
citizens, France is once more
a great power and they look
to her for salvation. This is
causing the Kremlin serious
worry. Especially since there
have been reports in Paris of
disturbances in BULGARIA.
where last month a group of
generals tried a coup to over
throw the MoScow-puppet
government.
All these factors are. of
course, we'll known to Mr..
Khrushchev and his military
commanders. A strong stard
by the West against further
encroachments would bolster
the desire of the subjugated
people to make themselves
free, regardless of the sub
servience to the Kremlin of
their Moscow-picked rulers.
Mr.. Khrushchev knows what
looms in Che future should he
lock horns with what some
people here describe as the
new Western Europe.
