Daily Lives, of All in u. S. to Be Affected

President Kennedy held

between peace and war; that
burden lies squarely upon
the Kremlin. But it is close
enough and the daily lives
Of all Americans will be af-
fected by the balances struck
in the military and diplo-
matte discussions now going
forward.
1t is beginning to appear
that the President has
reached the point of no re-
turn on the issue of prepara-
tionS to meet whatever chal-
lenge the Russians offer on
Berlin and any other trouble
spot. He has worked long

Soviet Still Relying on Allied Split

the solid backing Of public
opinion.
President Kennedy in his
press conference yesterday
spoke wiStfully of the fact
that it has taken the West
ern allies six weeks to agree
on the phrasing Of their
notes to Moscow on the Ber-
lin issue, and that agree
ment among allies isn't easy
to achieve. But, in the pres
ent instance, this is at least
not as big a disadvantage as
it might appear. For the very
process of reaching a unified
agreement takes time, and
the evident support being
given by public opinion In all
the Allied countries is in it
self more important than the
actual phrasing of the notes
themselves. Professional dip
lomatS have always endeav-
ored to give an adversary a
way out, and have intro
duced antiquities of Ian
guage and implicit hints of
ways of settlement. But these
are really words of self-re-
straint rather than of any
retreat from principle.
For the Western allies,
however cumbersome their
method, have made it clear
that the wartime alliance
which helped to save the
Soviet Union cannot be torn
to shreds now by her own
arbitrary procedures, and
that a peace treaty to end
the war-if it affects the
rights of other Allies - can
be honored only if it is made
with the consent of all who
fought on the victorious side.
Otherwise, agreements grow
ing out of a wartime alliance
become invalid. And this is
something which could cause
turmoil behind the Iron Cur
tain. In fact, Khrushchev al
ready has created a shaky
economy in East Germany by
his instigation of the present
crisis psychology. The longer
he carries on his bluster-
and-bluff tactics, the more
chance he runs Of provoking
a chain reaction inside the
Communist bloc. It could
cause his whole empire to be
threatened from within. For
nowhere is there evidence
that any peoples really want
war.

Possible u. S. Recognition Is Viewed

ROME. Although Italy's
role in the present global
strife is more limited than
that Of France, Germany and
Britain, it is with keen in
terest that the Italian people
and their responsible officials
are following the manipula-
tions of Premier Khrushchev
and the counterattacks of
President Kennedy. Italian
diplomats, as we'll as the
editorialiSts in their outSpok-
en- press, seem convinced that
while the Russians have
billed the Berlin performance
as the main attraction, the
sideshows have brought them
substantial box office results.
The mild criticism directed
at the conduct of Americas
foreign policies is that we are
continuing to follow the Rus
slams instead of leading them.
While nobody here denies
that Berlin could become the

can see that the Reds are

prizes in other sections of the
