Acheson Comment on Britoin's Role
As Suffering Big Change Is Questioned

Great Britain's special po-
sition in the world has lately
been the subject Of a contro-
versy unwittingly provoked by
Dean Acheson, former Secre-
tary Of State Of the United
States. In a speech before a
student conference on United
States affairs at West Point
q week ago, he said:
Great Britain has lost an
empire and has not yet found
a role. The attempt to play a
separate power role based
on a special relationship
with the United States, a role
based on being the head of
a commonwealth which has
no political structure, or
unity, or strength this
role is about played out"
Now, Mr.. Acheson's whole
speech has to be read to get
the true meaning he tried
to convey. For, in a military
sense, Britain is no longer a
world leader and has no
special position. But this is
true Of almost every nation
except the Soviet Union and
the United States, who alone
possess great nuclear power.
er.
Mr.. Acheson did not and
could not downgrade the
influence Of Great Britain
in the world. For If ever
there were a time when the
decades Of skillful experience
in diplomacy developed In
Britain were needed, it is to-
day.
The British newspapers
naturally reacted unfavorab-
ly to Mr.. Acheson's speech.
Some thought that maybe
this was an expression of the
viewpoint Of the Kennedy
administration, with which
the former Secretary Of State
has been identified recently
as q spokesman at meetings
Of the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization. The Govern
ment here has made 1t plain
that the speech at West Point
was not an official express
sion but a personal view.
c But why should it be neces-
sary to speak Of the role Of
Great Britain in the world as
having undergone a climactic
change? While Britain no
longer has a vast empire, her
influence is deeply imbedded
in every commonwealth
country. She lost her biggest
colony in this hemisphere in

Ambassadors 30-Yeor Career of Service,
At II, Called Unusual and Significant

Early in the first volume
Of President Harry Truman's
memoirs, Years Of Deci-
sions," he relates the brief
ing he had shortly after TAX
ing office, from those most
familiar with Russia. Includ-
ed, Of course, was Averell
Hartman, then ambassador
to the q. s. s. r.
Before leaving" wrote
Mr.. Truman, Hartman took
/. me aside, and said: Frankly
one Of the reasons that made
me rush back to Washington
was the fear that you did not
understand. as I had seen
Roosevelt understand, that
Stain is breaking his agree
ments. My fear was inspired
by the fact that you could
not have had time to catch
up with all the recent cables.
But, I must say I am relieved
to find you have read them
all and that we see eye to
eye on the situation"
In those years Mr.. Har-
riman, George KEENAN, and
Charles Bohlen (the latter two

been q nominal Republican.
The Democratic Party. be-
cause it had a public philos-
ophy, held his interest. In
1888 he was recruited to
public service by the Roose-
welt administration.
This career Of service has
extended for 80 years. 1t has
included being Ambassador
to the Soviet Union, and to
Great Britain, Secretary of
Commerce and Governor of
New York State. He has, in
addition, carried out many
special missions. His latest
achievement is to serve as
the catalyst in bringing
Pakistan and India together
for promised negotiations
over the dangerous issue of
Kashmir.
1t was, to be sure, Red
China's aggression against
India, and Pakistan's belated
recognition of the ultimate
meaning and potential of
that aggression, that made
necessary a genuine effort at
compromise and agreement.
But, even so. it was not until
Averell Hartman arrived as
this eountry's trouble shooter
and held conversations that
the two principals, midas
Nehru and Pakistar's Presi-
dent Ayub, finally were
brought together. The bitter
and emotional suspicion and
hostility between India and
Pakistan have made both
vulnerable to their enemies.
Each has felt 1t necessary to
build up ornaments at the
expense Of their peoples
needs.
Averell Hartman was the
first Of what is now becoming
a familiar and popular pat
tern in American politics
the well-educated. wealthy
man, unashamed OF his in
tellectual background or fam
lily position, with a genuine
commitment to public service.

Rockefeller are other ex-
amples. None is afraid to

drawn heavily on universities
for such help. That the Ma

Is an indication OF political
maturity.

strated that at II he is still
