PARIS.-As .is ponders
President Eisenhower's fare
well message on the state of
the Union, Europe is making
its own assessment OF what
seems destined to 60 down
in many history books as
"the Eisenhower era"
It Is not an ,unsentimental
occasion. There remains In
Europe an enormous reser-
voir Of affection for the man
who led the allies to victory
in war. There is almost uni
versal praise Of his devotion
to. the cause Of world peace
and acclaim for his success
in preserving 1t during the
last eight troubled years. It
is generally realized that II
he could have run for o third
term Mr.. Eisenhower would
almost certainly have been
reelected, and his personal
popularity abroad remains
high. Comments the London
Times:
1T is not only in the Eng.
disappearing countries that
Ike has rhymed naturally
with like or that people
have talked about the genial
father figure"
When 1t comes to the use
that has been made Of this
personal potential, on the
other hand, the comment is
not wholly uncritical. Look
ing back to Mr.. Eisenhower's
first message in 1858, there
Is . temptation to draw in
vidious comparisons between
what the state Of the Union
and the Western alliance
was then and what 1t Is to-
day. The usual conclusion is
that. far from having forged
ahead. the international
standing Of the United States
has been notably diminished
IN the interim.
Part Of Erosion Natural
Part Of the shrinkage was
inevitable. In 1888, when
both Europe and the Soviet
Union were. still recovering
from the effects Of war. the
pre-eminence Of the United
States was artificially in
flated. In fact. q large part
Of the American effort at
the time was directed specifi-
cally toward correcting this
unnatural state Of things.
and the relative strength and
prosperity Of Western Europe
today Is hardly reason for
self-reproach.
It was also inevitable, per.
haps. that the Communist
world. by throwing its ire
mendous resources into the
race. should have succeeded
in closing the commanding
lead Of the United States
in Q number Of fields. Moth
ing that the Eisenhower ad-
miniStration could have done,
short Of war, would have
prevented the rapid develop
ment Of Russian nuclear
strength and the emergence
Of Red China AS o dominant
Asian power. Nor II 1t had

Negotiation Khrushchev's TRUMP?

side was the historical hatred
of the Polish people for the
Germans. Now there is a
change in that attitude due
to the German-French alli-
ance which has become an
obvious reality. For the
French have been friends of
the Poles for centuries. Today
French propagan la is daily
blaring the details of the
great French German friend
ship. The visits of President
de Gaulle-formerly a bitter
enemy of Germany-to Bonn
and Chancellor Adenauer's
visit to Paris are being played
up for all they are worth.
And the Poles have had a
change of heart toward Ger
many.
Strategically, Poland is of
the highest Importance to the
Soviet Union in the event Of
a conventional war. The pos
sibility of losing the Polish
people must cause serious
concern to the Russian mill
tary men. They remember
that the harassment suffered
by the Germans from the
Ukrainians during World
War II contributed greatly to
their defeat at Stalingrad.
This factor cannot be ignored
by the Soviet high command.
These considerations do not
take into account any of the
many economic headaches
with which the Soviet Union
is now encumbered. But the
sum total of the highlights
leads to the belief that the
Soviet dictator must at this
very moment be engaged in
working out some way to es-
cape from the moose he
created. He may try to win
once more at the negotiation
table, not everything he
wants, but enough to come
out with untrammeled pres
tige.
The people on whom Mr..
Khrushchev relies to bail him
out are those he intends
eventually to destroy. These
are influential personalities in
America, and especially in
Great Britain, who have pri-
vately expressed to German
businessmen their fear that a
disaster within the Soviet
Union would add considerably
to the present world confu-
sion." Moreover, say these
frig htened personalities,
chaos in the USSR would per-
init Communist China to as
sumo the leadership of inter-
national communism.
