Gratis have held the State

During this interval, too,
Michigan Republicans have

French Chief Reported Not Opposed
To Talks by Foreign Ministers

ROME.-Accounts received
in Rome's diplomatic quarters
regarding the Macmillan-De
Gaulle conversations say the
French President continues
to be skeptical about the
value of East-West negotia-
tions at the highest level.
1t is reported by well-in-
formed sources that Gen. de
Gaulle no longer objects to
foreign ministers conversa-
tions provided the Russians
take the initiative and pre-
sent some new proposals of
their own. Otherwise he re-
CARDS the present diplomatic
agitationS" as futile.
Those in a position to gauge
Gen. de Gaulle's mind report
he believes that the West
missed the bus at the time
the East Germans, on Krem-
lin orders, started building
the wall which now separates
Berlin into two distin C t
entities. This, the French
leader contends, is a definite
breach of the Potsdam l948
and 1854 agre e m e n t S and
should have been resisted by
the Western powers to the
utmost.
Our gestures which fol-
lowed the construction of
the wall were just what the
word implies-mere gestures.
Premier Khrushchev has
achieved his purpose of an
nexing the eastern portion
of Berlin to East Germany.
We are now faced with an
accomplished fact and all the
negotiations we are planning
must be on the basis Of that
reality.
The Kremlin dictator has
a handful Of aces. What
have we in our hand? ask
French diplomats who re-
fleet Gen. de Gaulle's think
ing. Only a few deuces
and treys. Moreover, ask
these men. how long will it
take the great Western pow
ers to learn that unless the
cheat is brought to book he
will go on cheating? Some
to whom this reporter has
talked compare the present
diplomatic situation to a
housewives experience with
a butcher caught several
times with his finger on the
scales. Or suppose he sold her
chopped steak made Of SOW
belly instead of sirloin or con-
tinually shortchanged her?
Would she continue to deal
with him? And what would
she do if she discovered that
the authority who had power
to punish the butcher was
under control of the butcher?

Professional politicians are
always looking for some easy
way to win elections. Hence.
the perennial attraction of
big Names" especially if
they are also rich and have
rich friends.
George Romney, head Of
American Motors and a sig
nificant pioneer in the COM

to get the treatment. Michi-
gan Republicans are pressing
him to be a candidate for
Governor and are even put
ting an enticing dream of
the White House at the end
of his road.
They tell reporters he can
surely be nominated for Gov
ernor. can almost certainly
be elected and if elected
could we'll be the new face"
Republicans nationally will
be looking for in 1864. Mr..
Romney says he is consider
ing it.
All the Romney dreams
may come true. for politics
is a very accidental business.
He is attractive and dynamic
and displayed in his fight for
public acceptance Of his COM
pact cars a crusading fervor
of a type highly useful in
political campaigns.

What happened?
The ruling class" pro-

have attacked the United

1t is not they who have rot

Soviet Union.
And there is no question ex-
cept in the minds of wishful
thinkers that the Soviet Un-
ion is today the dominant
power in the United Nations.
This was amply shown in the
last l8 months and particu-
larly in the Congo mess. It
seems strange to our Euro
pean allies that the United
States feels compelled to go
along with the Russians in
everything they want in that
sensitive area. Our voting
with the Soviets. on the reso-
luton to bring Katanga-by
force If necessary - under
control of the Communist in
filtrated Leopoldville regime
has sickened the Western Eu-
ropeanS. Our TRADES against
the white "mercenaries" in
Katanga while saying moth
ing about the white Com
munists who are supporting
Lumumba's successor, Gizen-
ga, are little understood in
this part of the world.
There may be a time, 1t is
said here, when we must
cease our retreats and oppose
force with force. But in such
an eventuality. it is assumed
that the Soviet dominated
U. N. would vote for a censure
or worse against the U. S. A.

Washington dare defy the
