Who Gained the Most at Vienna?

ter, through the normal
channels of diplomacy? At
least there would be written
records then of what is said
by governments to each
other, and such records
can be important in carrying
on future negotiations. For
these are public and not
private controversies - they
concern millions of human
beings, and not just two gov
ernmental figures preoccu-
pied to no small extent with
their own political fortunes.
The Soviet dictator never
hesitates to disregard his own
signature on a treaty or
agreement-for he does not
recognize good faith as such
and believes that the end
justifies the means. The
danger is that, despite his
insults to the preceding Pres
ident of the United States
who helped once to save
Russia from military defeat
despite the deliberate breaking
up of the summit" confer
ence in 1860, and despite his
showing of contempt for the
West by pounding the table
with his shoe at the United
Nations General Assembly,
the same tyrant is still treated
with awe, with respect and
even with fear by the leaders
Of the Western world. This
species of appeasement once
led imperialist Kaiser Will
helm to misjudge Britain's in
nate resolutenees and caused
Adolf Hitler to disregard the
promises he made at Munich
that had encouraged hopes
OF peace in our time" The
result in each case was a
world war.
The total impression left
on many people by the latest
summit conference is that
a President of the United
States went 1000 miles across
sea and land to kowtow to
a man who, by his policies
and acts, despoils human
freedom and maintains the
biggest slave empire in the
world. Enough courage is
mustered up hereabouts to
issue statements defying little
dictators like Castro and
Irujillo, but not a big Khru-
shchev. 1t is a sad hour for
the cause of liberty and
d democracy. Manifestations of
defeatism are never good
omenS.

perhaps impulsive. It was
important from his stand
point to dispel such impress
sions. What better way than
in a summit conference in
which no other Western
leader participated and in
which Mr.. Kennedy was
pictured before the voters of
his own country-through
television and the newspapers
-aS the sole spokesman Of
the free world?
Time was when a summit"
conference included the Prime
Minister of Great Britain
and the President or the
Prime Minister of France and
when the Chancellor of West
Germany was nearby to be
consulted. But this meeting
of two heads of state was
billed as a "get-acquainted"
affair, and the other Western
leaders politely stood aside to
give him the chance. 1t was
regarded officially-perhaps
with tongue in cheek-as
having no "agenda" and as
not a negotiation"

indeed, during certain periods
of the conference Messrs.
Kennedy and Khfushchev
were alone except for inter-
preters-is alien to the ira

retically, a congress or a
parliament or even a Secre-
tary Of state plays a part in
the making of important
agreements or in the conduct
of negotiations between gov
ernmentS, including commit
mentS in the development of
international policy. 1t all
seemed more like the historic
meetings at Vienna, Paris
and London between mon
archs of old. There was the
same pomp and ceremony,
the same outward evidences
of cordiality, the same
misleading impressions that
peace" reigned supreme even
as both sides reiterated
through their spokesmen at
lower levels a determination
not to yield an inch in their
respective positions.

in his hand the fate Of many

the champion of the alleged
superiority of communism

to size up the new President

Did the meeting advance

was no armistice declared in

on every continent as they
were continuing to spread

and to instigate demonstra-

For what, indeed, has the
Soviet Premier to fear from
such conferences? It is he
who holds the trump cards

Some Congressmen suspected
that too many people are spend
ing money trying to do some
thing about the weather-or at
least trying to find out about
the tricky stuff.
So they gave the Budget Bu-
reau, which has nothing to do
with whether it rains or shines,
the job Of clearing the air be-
fore the picture is further
clouded with weather reports
from space.
House Appropriations Com
mitteemen were amazed to find
that the Air Force is spending
far more on weather than is
the Weather Bureau.
The budget people increased
this amazement with the in
formation that the Weather
Bureau handles just a little
more than one-fourth of the
5000 million annual bill for
weather studies, forecasting
and research.
They listed the Navy, the

1t was made official in the
closing hours that neither
side had given ground and
that no ultimatum had come
from either President or Pre-
mier. Their actions must be
looked to for their true evalu-
ations of one another.
President Kennedy's aides
insist that he is in a good
and lively mood. They see
him as relaxed and full of
quips. They profess to be
satisfied that he is not being
chivied or haraSSed but is
being given ample scope for
soundings of the Khrushchev
mood, which are all he ever
hoped to get from the en-
counter here.

mist press and radio have
been muted for days past.
Khrushchev is not putting
on an act even in the nor
mally provocative presence
of many correspondents, in
cluding some he knows well.
He does not seem as spruce
and bouncy as usual. Rumors
that he is not really well
have gained some weight
from this fact, but they are
purely speculative.
1t may be that he came
here only to size up for him
self the young President he
will have to deal with for at
least four and probably eight
more years. Like most sue
cessful politicians, he prob
ably thinks his own political,
antennae are the best.
1t is responSibly said that
few advisers have been per-
mitted to intrude on the
joint conversations. Neither
the old nor the new head Of
state seems to feel the need
of expert advice now, which
would indicate that they are
exploring each others minds
rather than laying down poll
icy which must be later ad-
ministered by others.
By indirection Khrushchev
at one point suggested he
would be glad to have the
President come to Moscow.
AS the Russian can switch
from peaceful co-exiStence to
ice-cold war at a moments
notice, this is interesting, but
not yet significant.
Indications are multiplying
that the Presidents London
stay will be purely pro forma
and very brief. AS the Brit
ish are and long have been in
a pacifist mood, this will
probably suit them very well.

would simply mean that we
had left ablaze another Latin
American fire like the one
already burning with omi-
nous brightness in Cuba.
American action would be
more than prudent and hon.
orable acceptance of plain
merican obligations. 1t
would also be precisely the
kind of justified action of
self-defenSe through which
we badly need to show the
Russians that our real de-

until it becomes possible to
convince the Latins that
"non-intervention" is a pol
icy now serving the purposes
of only the Soviet Union.
Accordingly, it is desper-
ately important that the
United States now take I'D
its responsibilities as leader
of this hemisphere and move
to fill the vacuum in the
Dominican Republic before it
is too late. This could be done,
as is suggested by Senator
George Smathers of Florida
and others, in one of two
ways. We could make a last
appeal to the Organization of
American States to send in
a collective security force.
Or, failing that, we could
send in United States troops.
(SmatherS in particular is
entitled to be listened to; he
was right from the start
about Castro.)
This we could do with total
right and property. The mis-
sion of the troops would be
to forestall civil war, to set
up a constabulary operation
to keep order and to guar
antee, within IL months, gen.
timely free elections so that
the people could choose their
new government.

could this be termed Amer

Hope Is Held Thot Dominican Upset
Will Not Cause Wide Repercussions

The clock that struck mid
night for us in Cuba, while
we offered too little too late
to arrest the menace of Cas-
troisn, must not and need
not strike again for us in the
Dominican Republic.
On this there is growing
agreement in Washington
among men aware that the
position of the United States
in this hemisphere is even
now dangerously weak and
could shortly become intol-
erably so.
Through the fog of confu-
sion that hangs over the stu
alton in the Dominican Re-
public, after the assassina-
ton Of Dictator Rafael Tru-
jillo, one certainly CLEANS
with sinister clarity: an invit-
ing vacuum has been left by
the fall of the "Strong man"
One eviIly disruptive set or
another, either Castro Com
mupiSts or violent right
wingers, is likely to find ire
sistible opportunity to move
in there now. Such a move
ment would be against the
most vital interests of the
United States and the COM
mon security of all Latin
America.
For a coup either from far
left or far right would surely
be one coup too many, on top
of Fidel Castro's successful

in setting up an admitted So
Wet satellite in Cuba.
For two years Castro has
publicly had the Dominican
Republic on his list of lands
to be brought into his sphere.
Whatever the composition of
the present regime there may
be - provost or not - is
hardly important at this mo-
ment. For Whatever its view
point it is not really a gov
ernment.
It is not recognized as
such. In the present circum-
stances, therefore, even the
most m asSive subversion,
whether by CaStroites or
others, would not be legally
definable aggression. The Do
minican Republic could be
grabbed on the cheap.
Let any lot of subversives
or adventurers accomplish
this seizure, however, and
this lot could at least claim
to represent an eStab-
