In order to better understand the
creating of united Berlin as a free
city guaranteed by both NATO and
the Warsaw Pact and policed by Sin
ternational peace teams as proposed
by Senator Mike Mansfield, it is nee
essary to have this lecture given by
Professor Neal at the Claremont
Graduate School in California this
summer.
| Neal traces the creation of the
Berlin problem and the responsibility
of United States and West Germany
| for developing the get tough policy
of the Soviet Union.
Our breach of the Potsdam agree
ment by creating a unified West Ger
many and the resultant resurgence
of powerful economic and militant
West Germany has caused the Rus
slams to wonder who won World
War ii.
The Russians are equally guilty of
preaching the agreements reached at
the end of World War III. Instead of
dismantling the plants in Germany
and taking them to Russia they took
the easy way out and simply took the
production causing heavy initiation
in East Germany and the other occu-
pied zones.
Khrushchev now presses for a Ger
man peace treaty and an alteration
of the situation in Berlin.
Mast Co,~y,ooy,xy is onnocoI - h.
peace treaty because it would bring
to an end the Identification dreams
and would formalize the territorial
gains of Russia and Poland sliced
out of the former Germany of Hitler.
West German policy is to cause
conflict between the United States
and Russia the same as the Germans
did after World War I. The reasons
are different now however. They will
do almost anything to rebuild the
old Germany. Their army will soon
have atomic weapons. This was the
nation which never again was sup
posed to have even a semblance Of |
an army.
American interests must be clari-
fled on the Berlin question. Ameri-
can interests arS not the same as
those of West Germany and as
soon as this is made clear to West
Germany the better the chances of
escaping an atomic war will be.
We must have some kind of pol
something Ma
lions control-take the arms away
from West Germany and East Ger
something.
The instability of central Europe
not only causes great concern to Mr..
<. but could be the beginning of the
lext war which would be carried to
he North American continent.

WATCH ON The POTOMAC
By ROBERT G. SPIvACK. Washington. d. c.

Look how easily they humbled Hubert
Humphrey, Adlai Stevenson and even
the shrewd Lyndon Johnson.
As campaign strategists their tai
ents were impressive. But as strate-
gists on Capitol Hill or in govern
ment operations there has been one
miscalculation after another. What
were they?
To begin with there was diffusion
of detectives. The White House was
so determined to equal FDR's First
100 Days that it set out to do every
thing at once. Then it quickly decided
TO compromise. Afterwards it became
apparent that warmed-over programs
of other years had better be handled
first, because they were relatively
easy.
The hard jobs were left for last
and finally never did get done. There
were two big steps forward and per-
haps this is all they should have tried
for: the establishment of the Peace
Corps and the new Disarmament
Agency. But we were told so much
about other deficiencies, from the
nonresident missile gap 10 medical
neglect of the aged, the public ex-
pected bold new approaches which
were never Forthcoming.
Another tactical error was deliber-
ately to lay aside the fight to curb
the filibuster. This was a move to
appease the Old South which, demon
strated as usual, that appeasement
rarely works and went right on fight
ing New Frontier legislation. Then
there was the medical care bill. After
a look at the realities, it was put
over to next session. Some believe
this may yet prove political bonanza
in a campaign year; but it also could
become booby-trap if the Democrats
don't deliver.
SCHOOL AID BOBBED
The miscalculation which may
prove costliest and has severely shak-
en- confidence in the new Administra-
ton was the mishandling of the school
aid program. The Administration be-
gan to fight too late with too little.
Yet this was the one piece of legis-
lation that really tested the Presi-
dents ability to deliver what had
been promised in the campaign. 1t
involved not only a battle with the
hierarchy of his own Church but with
the conservative coalition.
1t was the kind of contest that
other Presidents, FDR for example,
might have welcomed. Roosevelt
would have gone straight to the peo-
pie and told them exactly what he
vas up against. Kennedy might have
that the religious issue be
net head-on by suggesting that OPP
,onents of public school aid seek
amendment if they
wanted to alter the accepted mean
ng of separation of church and state.
After a feeble start, there was no
The education battle would have

was apparently referring to
