CONSTANTINE BROWN
West Europe Worries Over Berlin

the coalition was established
IL years ago we were the
unquestioned leader. Our op-
position was similar to that
Of Britain during the Napo-
leonic wars when she or
dered the continental block
ade and insisted that all al
lies follow the thinking Of
London.
This diplomatic stand Of
ours had to be accepted while
Western Europe was still try
ing to dig itself out Of the
economic shambles created
by the war. But as the west
ern European nations
achieved an unprecedented
prosperity in a few short
years, they began to resent
what appeared to be a diplo-
matte and military subserv-
fence to the "Anglo-Saxons."
The standard Of rebellion"
was raised by de Gaulle who
insisted that the NATO shall
be guided by the Big Four
America, Britain, France and
Germany. He wanted to re-
vert to the system Of alliance
which was created at the
turn of the century when the
Triple Alliance formed by
France, Britain and Czarist
Russia was established to
thwart the designs of i'm
perial Germany.
Only a close alliance and
cooperation between the 1S0
million people in the United
States and some 100 million
Western Europeans far ahead
Of the Soviet Union and
Communist China in wealth,
chronological know how and
actual civilization can check
mate the ambitions to world
domination Of international
communism. But in order to
achieve this goal and save
the present Christian civili-
zation, there must be q firm
unity Of purpose between
the members of the coalition.
The West and Its support
ers in other areas Of the
world cannot diffuse their
fire. At the present time, it
is feared, that this goal is
not fully understood by the
professors and other intellec-
tuals who form the bulk Of
the new K enn edy admin
istration.

MONROE. La, Feb. 4 (AP).-
Although 1t remains on the

with the decision to lift alleged
economic pressures on Negro
farmer who tried to vote.
Attorneys for the Govern

the agreement was the first In

President Kennedy's abrupt
removal Of the soothing,
sugared pacifier, not sur
prisingly has left the more
dependent among us squal-
ling out loud In the manner
Of deprived infants, and
many others In a petulant,
fretting mood. That some Of
the loudest walls came from
members Of Congress is not
surprising.
The fact remains. Sugar,
insofar is it is a major por-
ton Of each problem dish set
before the American people,
has been eliminated. We can
hope this means leaner
thinking.
That the American econ
omy has been slipping for
more Cnan a year was po-
litically concealed until the
declines of autumn cried
aloud for relief. Mr.. Rich
ard Nixon recently had said
that the sharp October de-
cline In employment was one
Of the major reasons for his
narrow defeat. The statistics
are available, and they are
not presently encouraging.
It is, therefore, the worst
sort Of fatuousness for the
rightwing Republican lead
ership to be complaining
about Mr.. Kennedy's plain
words. The Nations prestige
and economy have declined
and one Of the reasons for
this unhappy state Of affairs
is the long lack Of plain words
and the excessive use Of
sugar In national pronounce
ments.

Rightwing G. O. P. Complaints Linked
To Kennedy's Removal Of Sugar

The reaction of the Repub-
lican Senators to the Ken
nedy messages is evidence Of
an illness within the party
plainly visible to even anna
teur diagnosticians. It Is re-
vealed by the bitterness Of
this group toward Richard
M. Nixon.
In their report on the
anatomy Of defeat they
ascribe all blame to him.
Their own victories blinded
them to the fact that one Of
the facets in the mosaic Of
defeat was the lack Of good
Republican candidates. (nli-
nois was q prime example0
Still another piece Of 1t
was the image Of the party
as provided by Messrs. Hal

ditions, economic and socio-
logical, provided them with
victory does not at all estab-

quired to put q Republican

That John Kennedy won

won, in part, because Of the

urban areas. This vote was in
protest against the image 50

The year 1861 must see
the German problem solved.
The present truce must give
way to a genuine peace in

which for years has spelled
out the major policies Of the
Kremlin well in advance Of
their being officially pre-
Sented.
The Soviet weekly main
tains that such a peace can
be brought about with the
co-operationSof the Western
powers and the participation
"of the two German states"
The Western powers must
display "the same goodwill
they displayed in concluding
peace treaties Tin 1946) with
the other members of the
Nazi alliance"
The editorial has stirred
more concern in Western
Europe than in Washington
because it sets forth the blue
print under which the Soviet
Union is willing to settle"
the German problem. One
condition is that free Ger
many as well as the puppet
East German republic must
participate as independent
units lin the planned discus
Sions. The other is merely
implied when the 1916 treaties
Of Poland, Romania, Bulgaria
and Hungary are mentioned.
It will be recalled that these
so-called peace treaties, to
which the wartime allies of

Those who have recently been
in touch with the President

traditional policies is prone
to show less interest in the

In his inaugural address
the Chief Executive spoke
about the unqueStionable
failing of the North Atlantic
organization and stated that
it was in disarray. The
European press applauded
politely the statements Of the

President, but the chancel-
lories in Paris, Bonn and even
London were concerned be-
cause they read in his speech
a new trend" This concern
was further heightened by in.
dications that there might be
