In reading the comments
Of Mikhail Menshikov, made
to American newsmen before
his departure for home, it is
difficult to understand the
reasoning of the. Russian
Ambassador.
The abnormal situation he
refers to in Berlin is the
direct result and responsible
ity Of Premier KhruShchev's
dishonest maneuvering. It's
apparent to Just about every
one that this country and
its allies made every possible
effort to keep the Berlin
situation status quo. Mr..
Menshikov blames the Amer
ican press for distorting
and misrepresenting Soviet
proposals on Germany. AS an
official member of the Krem-
lin. the Ambassador can
speak with authority on the
subjects of distortion and
Misrepresentation. We might
also add statements with
double meanings. again re-
ferring to the abnormal Ber-
lin situation. Mr.. Menshikov
states that Premier Khru-
shchev wants to remove a
dangerous trouble pot. At
this moment, about the only
thing N. K. wishes to remove
is the allies from Berlin.
When asked about his re-
mark that the United States
would not fight for Berlin.
which undoubtedly was wish
full thinking, he replied that
the comment was made at a
Washington party, during an
off-the-record conversation.
Anyone the least bit familiar
with Soviet operations knows
there are no off-the-record
conversations by official rep
resentatives of the Kremlin.
The Russians were never
known to be outstanding
tacticians. viewer, we
should give credit to Mr..
Menshikov for trying to lay
the groundwork so tn a t
Nikita Khrushchev can back
down more gracefully, for
this time he cannot fail to
understand us. It is also pos
sible that Moscow doesn't
like the way Menshikov
handled himself, and we've
seen the last of jovial
Mikhail.

WATCHING THE WORLD
Tunisio Possibly Lost to West
BY CROSBY S. NOYI
Foreign Correspondent Of The Stor

ing by deliberate choice. The
French. having established Q
perimeter which assures Sc
curity Of its base, are in
complete military control of
the situation. Tunisians, hav-
ing taken one disastrous past
ing, seem to be in no mood
to resume the direct test of
strength.
Dangers, however. are not
exclusively military. Just as
no one can predict whether
an isolated incident may
touch off the BiSerte powder
keg, no one can predict
either what desperate steps
the Tunisian government
may be forced to take in an
effort to redress the situation
and salvage its commitment
to the country.
RumOrs and Alarms
Tunis itself is a town filled
with rumors and alarms.
I'VE have no way of judg-
ing the real situation here"
a local businessman ad-
mitted. THE only reliable
information we get comes
from the BIC" British
Broadcasting Corp)
Even without radio, how
ever, some elements of the
picture are reconfirmed too
often to be ignored.
First is the determination
of the Tunisian government
now being carried almost
to the point of fanaticism-
that the French must in the
end leave Tunisia for good.
Deals and compromises that
might have been possible a
few weeks ago are not pos
sible today. Now the French
face a choice of leaving
Bizerte or staying by military
force against the will of a
country which is prepared to
fight rather than submit.
Second is the certainty
that the fight in the diplo-
matte arena will be as rough
as any faced by the West
since World War II. If the
present deadlock continues
at Bizerte another go-round
in the U.N.'S Security Coun-
Gil is inevitable. If, as seems
likely, this arrives at no re-
suit that satisfies Tunisians.
the matter will be pushed
into the General Assembly.
Here the United States will
be faced with a choice Of
abandoning France or voting
with a minority on an issue
which is made to order for
Communist exploitation. And
the anguish of American dip
lomats at this prospect Is one
of the more striking features
of this dispute.
Last and grimmest prob
ability is that Tunisia now
will turn to the East for mill
tary support against the
French Army. Mr.. Bour-
guiba's talk of volunteers is
dismissed by most observers
here as more symbolic than
practical. But delivery Of
modern weapons by Russians
or the Chinese in the near
future is taken as q serious
possibility. Others beside Mr..
MaSmoudi have been i'm
pressed by the Communist
response to Tunisian crisis.
And it is noted that while
Tunisia has not a single war
plane today, other Arab coun-
tries are equipped with every
thing from Russian-made
tanks to MIG fighters.
In their present mood it
will take something of a mir
acle to persuade Tunisians
against taking the same road.
THE French" says Mr..
Masmoudi, were out to teach
us a lesson at Bizerte. We
have learned the lesson only
too well. And now we under
stand what we must do"

TUNIS.
"Tunisa is permanently
lost to France. Whether it is
lost to the West as well-that
remains to be SEEN"
These words coming from
Mohammed Masmoudi, Min
lister Of Information to Presi-
dent Habib Bourguiba and
one of his most trusted ad-
viserS. sum up harshly the
tragedy that has occurred
here. Talks with the minis
ter in his office today con-
firmed with emphasis the
most pessimistic predictions
about the course Tunisia may
be expected to follow in the
wake of bloody fighting with
the French army at Bizerte
last week.
Mr.. Masmoudi is neither a
fool nor a wild man. A few
months ago he served as
chief middleman between
President Bourguiba and
French President de Gaulle
in making preliminary ar
rangements for Algerian n
peace talks. AS a leading
spokesman for a moderate
pro Western policy known
here as "Bourguibism, his af-
liability and good sense were
known to most visiting news
men in North Africa.
Mr.. MaSmoudi, like most
familiar and reassuring fea-
lures Of the Tunisian land
scape, has undergone a star
ting Transformation. Just
returned from a trip to China,
Lebanon and Egypt Che was
in Peking when fighting
broke out at Bizerte), he de-
scribes himself as Immensely
impressed" by what he saw
there.
China, he says, after the
aggression at Bizerte, is close
to our hearts. I could see the
indignation and the unani-
nous support of the Chinese
people when at Peking we
learned of the massacre of
the Tunisian population by
the French army"
Just about to set out on a
tour of African countries to
rally support for Tunisia's
struggle with France his con-
versation today is an almost
unintelligible mixture of emo
ton, bitterness and despera-
ton. Also, the conviction ex-
pressed in every other breath
that the West-including the
United States-has never and
never will understand the
problems of newly indepen-
dent states.
Reflects Country's Mood
In this he reflects accu-
rately enough the present
mood of this country and its
government.
The situation in Tunis to-
day is not one to which what
might be called normal rules
of political conduct apply.
Emotion, at first deliberately
inspired. has reached a point
where it is dangerous to
those who first inspired it
dangerous Immediately in the
sense that no one, from Mr..
Bourguiba on down, can be
sure that fighting at Bizerte
might not break out again at
any moment.
