Fatal Peace Accord in MAKING?

where in 1864 there will be
another important electoral
combat. They anticipate that
the Democratic administra-
ton will continue in power
under the impact of the
euphoric feeling that it
prevented a deadly war. The
gigantic costly social reforms
will severely tax the Treas
ury. There will be a crying
need-eSpecially a year or
so before the presidential
elections-for money. At the
same time, it viii be political
ly unwise to increase taxes,
particularly when the threat
of war no longer exists. In
order to get money for new
social progress, it will be
necessary to cut down the de-
fense budget. This always
happens in countries which
have democratic forms of
government as soon as the
immediate danger is over.
The armed forces are invari-
ably sacrificed to the altar
of peace, whether peace is
real or fictitious.
Thus it is expected that
not only the conventional
forces, but also the very
costly nuclear military pro-
grams, will be greatly cur
tailed. After all, it will be
argued, there is an agree
ment with the Soviet Union
for a progressive limitation
of ornaments. And Russia
will have complied with its
formal pledges, at least inso-
far as Western eyes could
see.
The other NATO countries
will unquestionably follow
our example while Germany
will, in a general peace agree
ment, be compelled to reduce
her force to a token eStab-
lishment.
In the interval before
1868 a number of Western
European countries will have,
for one reason or another,
gotten closer to the Soviet
Union, economically if not
politically. The NATO will
be described as a continuing
formidable shield, but it will
become only a paper tiger.
When the relative deteriora-
tion of the Western military
might becomes appreciable,
the Soviet Union will show
the ugliest part of its face
again. Mr.. Khrushchev. or
whoever may then be the top
man in the Kremlin, will by
then resume humping tao
tics with far more ruthless
ness. For in 18 months much
can happen to the military
power of the United States
and its NATO and Far East
ern allies.
This is definitely unpleas-
ant to report. But the sources
which have spoken to this
reporter have been known to
him for many years and have
in the past seldom failed in
accurately analyzing the po-
litical picture.

ROME, Italy.-That it is
not this year but in 1868
when the fate of the free
world and particularly the
United States will be decided
is at present the considered
opinion of many statesmen
and veteran observers of in
ternational affairs in Euro
pean capitals.
Many diplomats includ-
ing some Americans) seem
convinced that an agree
ment with the Soviet Union
concerning Berlin, Germany
and limitation of both nu-
clear and conventional arma-
ments has become a foregone
conclusion. Secretary of State
Dean Rusk and his Soviet
opposite number, Andrei
Gromyko, have held prelim-
mary conversations in New
York. A meeting between
President nnedy and
Chairman Khrushchev with
the probable inclusion of
British Prime Minister Mac
milan seems likely.
There seems to be no
doubt in the minds of we'll
informed and responsible
Western statesmen that such
a meeting will result in an
agreement in which each of
the parties will give some
thing" We are expected to
give in on substantive mat
ters such as the creation Of
the free city of Berlin with
parts of the United Nations
being transferred to the for
mer German capital. We
shall formally recognize the
Oder-Neisse line as a perma-
nent boundary between Po-
land and Germany. and shall
also agree to a form of gen.
eral disarmament with in
spections."
The USSR is expected to
make Substantial conces-
sions" by formally guaran-
teeing unhampered access of
the West to the free city and
the registration of these SOL
emn agreements" with the
U. N. The first steps toward
a general disarmament will
also be undertaken in good
faith" and by the end Of this
year the world will breathe
freely once more because, it
will be said, "the horrors of
war, if not nuclear at least
conventional, will thus have
been averted."
There will be solemn dec
larations, ra dio broadcasts
and pundit editorials and
columns congratulating the
Western lie a ders for their
great foresight and firmness
in conducting the negotia-
tions which have saved the
world. Mr.. Khrushchev will
be described as the benevo-
lent Uncle Nick who has seen
the light and contributed to
saving the world.

Strong Push Seen
Mr.. Mccormack said a strong
push will be given to both pro-
grams in the next session.
He predicted Mr.. Kennedy
will make another strong try
to pass a bill providing Federal
aid for school construction next
year. Defeat of this measure
was a major setback for the
administration this year.
Many school aid hackers have
said they think there is nc
chance to pass a school bill
until a new Congress meets in
1868.
This year, Mr.. Mccormack
said. Mr.. Kennedy's school aid
program reused such strong op-
position that even the less con-
troversial portions of it were
detected.
He said the aid to higher
education items should have
been passed and predicted they
would be next year.
But, Mr.. Mccormack added
opposition to direct Federal
funds for public school con-
struction remains strong, ever
without the religious issue that
helped beat it this year.

Brazil Reform
Is Approved

RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil,
Sept. 80 (AP) Prime Minister
Tancredo Neves' economic de-
velopment and reform program
has been approved by congress
but deputies kept the right to
pass on various points of the
plan as details are spelled out.
The program, presented
Thursday and approved yester-
day with some inquiries but
no open objections at a special
session in BraSilia, calls for land
reform, higher taxes for the
rich, economic advancement
and an independent-but not
neutraliSt - line in foreign
policy.
The vote was Mr.. Neves'
first major test in Congress
since he took office Septem-
ber 8. 1t appeared to be more
a vote of confidence in his
cabinet than in his program,
which parallels the domestic
reform measures advocated by
Janio Quadros before he re-
signed as President last month
Mr.. Quadros claimed con-
servative elements in Congress
were blocking his reforms. II
yesterdays congressional reser-
vations are any indication,
Mr.. NeveS' plans also may run
into trouble.
The vote was 1911, with
148 members of the 338-man
Chamber of Deputies absent OF
not voting. Senate approval is
not required. The affirmative
percentage was about the same
as Mr.. Neves received when
Congress confirmed him as
Prime Minister in the parlia-
mentary system set up after
Mr.. Quadros quit. The high
absentee rate was attributed to
the difficulty of reaching the

Accord Seen
In Frances
Tuniisia Strife

BIZERTE, Tunisia, Sept. 80
(AP) France and Tunisia took
another step today on the road
back toward settlement of diff
ferences that led to fighting
around the French naval base
here.
Under an agreement, French
soldiers will pull back from sur
rounding areas they seized.
French officials said Tunisia
will leave access roads open
between the base and the city of
Bizerte.
A blockade by Tunisian forces
touched off fighting in July to
bring pressure on France to
evacuate Bizerte after years of
delay by Paris.
Accord Reached
French President de Gaulle
has said he will never negotiate
on the future of the base under
Tunisian pressure, but he has
indicated France is willing to
withdraw after the Berlin crisis
is past. Tunisian President
Habib Bourguiba has said he
is willing to wait for that.
The agreement, signed last
night by the French consul gen.
eral and the TuniSian director
of the city administration
opens the way to resumption
of diplomatic relations between
the two countries. That in turn
would provide the framework
for negotiations between the
two countries, a course of ac-
ton recommended by the
United Nations General As
sembly in a special session last
month.
After French troops return
to the base, both sides will con-
slider that the situation has re-
turned to that which existed
before the fighting eruptec
July 10, the agreement said.
Dispute Over Base
Violence flared when Tunisis
sought to set up roadblock,
along the road from Bizerte tt
the base. Tunisian officials
claim about 1900 Tunisians
were killed when French forces
backed with air and sea sup
port, fought their way into the
city.
Tunisia took the action in ar
effort to bring pressure or
France for a quick agreement
to evacuate the base.
French officials have said
that agreement on the initial
pullback was a necessary first
step before negotiations could
take place on Mr.. Bourguiba'S s
demand for total evacuation.
The agreement was expected
French soldiers have been re-
moving barbed wire barricades
for the past week in anticipa-
tion of withdrawal.

pared by astute and some
what cynical observers with
1888 when Adolf Hitler
agreed to keep peace in Eu-
rope in exchange for only a
small concession: The sur
render of the German-in-
habited Sudetenland to the
Nazi NAV. The agreements
which informed European
diplom a is expect to be
reached in New York and
elsewhere. will contain, in
all likelihood, similar pomp-
Gus but deceiving words to
those used at Munich.
They may tell the world,
and particularly the Amer
lean people, that this new
era of friendly American
Russian relations is of para
mount Importance, not only
to these two countries but
to the whole world and that
the newly signed solemn
agreements are symbolic of
the desires of their peoples
for peace. The consequences
of the peaceful settlement"
of the present nightmariSh
crisis will be to plunge the
free world into a state Of
euphoria. This is particu-
larly likely in the case of
the United States which is
less realistic than the often
hard-tried cynical Euro
peans.
There seems to be no doubt
in the minds of experienced
political men and diplomats
this reporter has talked with
very recently that this will
happen before the end of the
year. These personalities say
they base their conclusions on
hard facts and not on guesses
or crystal gazing. Among the
hard facts" is the commu-
nication sent from the White
House to Bonn, through Ger
man Ambassador Grewe,
urging the West German
government to be cooper
ative when these various con-
cessions, including a limited
demilitarization of Central
Europe in keeping with the
Rapacki plan, are agreed be-
tween the United States and
the USSR.
The consequences of these
developments are, of course,
only intelligent anticipations.
The Russians, it is said, will
keep their pledges only so
long as convenient. After a
honeymoon in which there
will be profitable commercial
exchanges with the West, as
well as cultural and other
interchanges, the era of nib
bling away will resume just
as it did after Munich.
There will be nothing
dramatic at first; just some
unpleasant incidents which
will be explained away. The
Russians will be watching the
trends in the United States,
