The Significance

Thus the Importance of this ma
ton of more than IL million per-
sons to the ultimate security of
the United States has been rec
ognized by Republican and DEM
ocratic administrations alike.
There has been no serious debate
over this question. There is none
now.
But another question rose
sharply to the fore last week
which, while not threatening BIZ
partisan solidarity on the decision
to help keep South Wet Nam in
dependent, posed veXatious
problem. It is this: How much
should the American people be
told about our involvement in the
hostilities now going on there?
in the last few months, and
particularly in recent weeks, the
fighting between Wet Nam gov
eminent forces and Communist
Insurgents and Red infiltrators
from Communist North Wet Nam
has increased in ferocity.
This situation has prompted a
step-up in American military as
sistance more weapons, more
technicians, more advisors" and
assignment of new four-star
Army general to direct the entire
American effort to train and sup
ply government troops and to plan
and direct operations involving our
own men in uniform those man
ming helicopters and light aircraft,

Tension Hiqh

The major powers, however,
agreed last fall to another dis
armament conference, under U. N.
auspices, to begin on March IA
in Geneva. The conference must
report back to the U. N. on June l
with progress report.
Previous disarmament confer
ences have broken down on the
problem of inspections and dip
lomats in Washington last week
found no reason to suppose that
inspections will not lead to fail
ure this time also.
Basically. the United State S
feels each stage Of disarmament
must be controlled by an inter-
national commission that would
keep tabs on means of production
to ensure there was no cheating.
For example, If each country
agrees to destroy 1000 missiles,
the commission would have to in
spect every possible missile base
and plant to verify that no more
missiles were being manufactured
or hidden.

The Republican National
Committee last week charged
that President Kennedy was
being 'less than candid" on
United States involvement in
the spreading warfare in South
Wet Nam. He rejected the
charge, citing the "great SEN
sitivity" of the matter.
For more than seven years,
since the signing of the South
east Asia Treaty Organization
(SEATO) pact in September, 1854,
the United States has been as
sisting the Government of South
Wet Nam to maintain it's indie
pendence against Communist
pressure, internal and external.
More than So billion in eco
nomic and military aid has
been given to this strategically
located former area of French
Indochina. We have maintained
a military advisory group Of
American officers and men there.
President Eisenhower once re-
ferred to Southeast Asia as a set
of "dominoes." observing that if
one country fell the others were
likely to tumble.
Last Monday, Averell Hartman,
Assistant Secretary of State for
Far Eastern Affairs, told a Senate
committee that South Wet Nam
is the "key" to the entire South
east Asian peninsula and that if
it succumbed to Communist ag-
erosion, adjoining Laos and Cam
bodia would inevitably be lost.

Guidnd:
New Riots

A state Of emergency was pro-
claimed in British Guiana yes
terday after a day of riots that
resulted in several deaths and
extensive property damage.
British Guiana was settled in
the Seventeenth century as an
after Thought. Englishmen and
Dutch who came to South America
looking for a city of gold in the
interior settled along the coast,
content for a plantation of sugar.
To work the fields, they brought
in thousands OF African slaves,
and then, after emancipation, even
larger numbers of workers from
the eastern coast of India who
would work for less than the
newly-freed slaves.

Common Sense

Many people feel that since
both Mr.. Kennedy and Mr.. Khru-
shchev want peace, they eventually
will reach some agreement, that
the law Of averages and the COM
mon sense Of self preservation will
prevail.
There is no doubt that such an
agreement is needed badly. In Ber-
lin, last week, new tensions of an
old kind arose over Soviet buzzing
of Allied planes in the air cor
ridors to the city. In Southeast
Asia, small-scale fighting con-
tinued in Laos and South Wet
Nam, with no prospect of an end
in sight. An East-West agreement
on any Of these issues would go
far in increasing the chances for
lasting peace.
History has shown, however,
that summit conferences, them
selves, offer no guarantee of sue
cess. Indeed, their failure can
plunge the world into deeper
gloom. There Is nowhere to go
from a summit but down,

Subversion War

(The fighting in Wet Nam is
of type not too familiar to
present-day American GI!'s. 1t
is war of subversion," covert
aggression" guerrilla warfare"
Thus, while they are instructing
and advising the South Wet
Namese, our military representa-
tives are getting "on-the job"
training themselves.)
The increase in American as
sistance, which is continuing, has
brought with it increasing restric-
tons on information (by Wash
ington and American officials in
the field as to the extent of our
participation in what President
Kennedy has called "a war"
Newspaper complaints of "se-
crecy," particularly from those
which have their own correspon-
dents in South Wet Nam, have
been on the rise.
The Kennedy administration
thus has prickly problem on
it's hands. Shall it answer such
questions as these? How many
American military men are now
in South Wet Nam? (The most
popular published guess is 1000,
far above the Geneva treaty limit
of 685, and that it will go to 1000
under current plans) Are United
States Navy patrol craft blocking
North Wet Nam infiltration by
sea? Are American correspondents
barred from the use of helicopters
to report the fighting? Are Ameri-

ton was the first under a. new
charter of self-rule that will lead
to independence soon.
Since he is a professed Marxist,
Mr.. Jagan's election created a stir
in the United States. In inter-
views given freely during his trip
to the United States last year, Mr..
Jagan said he was not a Commu-
mist, but a socialist-much like
India's Nehru.
He said that his country's
problems were many, but the
principal ones were economic. The
two principal products-sugar and
bauxite-are controlled by foreign
firms and he indicated that once
independence was achieved, he
might nationalize those industries.
Mr.. Jagan has sought United
States aid, as well as funds from
the Alliance for Progress. But
because of his leftist leanings-
his American wife is believed even
more to the left than he-Mr.
Jagan's Embarrassing has not gone
over we'll in this country.

THE WEEK IN PERSPECTIVE
Summit: A Matter Of Timinq

Premier Khrushchev proposed
last week that next months
disarmament conference be
turned into an 18-natiOn sum-
init conference to discuss an
end to the arms race.
President Kennedy and Prime
Minister Macmillan-who ear
lier had asked that the Is ma
tiOns send their foreign ministers
to the conference.-the that a
summit meeting was premature
at this time.
There is no statesman living
today who would not advocate
peace, disarmament, and an end
to nuclear testing. Even hard
talking Mao Tse-tung publicly
counts himself on the side of the
angels.
Leaders from the four corners
of the world have exhausted
diplomatic means to achieve these
goals.
Discussions have been held at
the United Nations, at multilateral
foreign ministers conferences, in
bilateral private conferences, and
in summit conferences of the
worlds leaders.
OF these approaches, the sum-
NIT conference has received the
most attention in recent years.
It has the appeal Of bringing
East and West together at the
highest levels without in Win
ston Churchill's words -"ponder-
GUS or rigid agenda" or "jungles
of technical details zealously con-
tested by hordes of experts"
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1962-02-18
A Limitation

Mr.. Khrushchev's appeal was
novel on at least one score. In
the past, SUBMITS had no rigid
agenda and were considered way
for world leaders to feel out each
other. This was the rationale, for
instance, Of Mr.. Kennedy's Vienna
meeting with Mr.. Khrushchev.
This time, however, Mr.. Khru-
shchev said he was not suggesting
a summit to consider "a wide
range of international questions,
but of talks on one specific issue
disarmament"
In other words, he proposed that
the chiefs of state act as dis
armament negotiators. The United
States and Great Britain earlier
had proposed that the foreign
ministers play this role. Mr.. Khru-
shchev has just raised the West
by one.
What is the background for last
weeks events?
Last September, while the So
Wet Union was in the midst of
exploding its nuclear weapons in
the atmosphere, the United States
and the Soviet Union nevertheless
agreed on the basic principles of
any future disarmament treaty:
THE goal of negotiations is to
achieve agreement on a program
which will insure that (a) dis
armament is general and complete
and war is no longer an instru-
ment for settling international
problems, and (b) such disarma-
ment is accompanied by the eS-
Enlistment of reliable procedures
for the peaceful settlement of dis
putes and effective arrangements
for the maintenance of peace in
accordance with the principles of
the United Nations Charter"

Homecoming

The Katanga Assembly last
week cOnditiOnally approved the
Kitona agreement between Con-
gOIese Premier Cyrille AdOula
and Katanga President Noise
TshOmbe. The agreement would
end Katanga's secession from
the rest of the Congo.

Land, new African leaders have

AS a result, British Guiana's
population is roughly split. 60 per

with the rest being divided among
Europeans and Chinese. The pres

he received considerable support
from his fellow Indians when he
was elected last fall. That cleo

AdouIu's Visit

When Mr.. Adoula took office
last summer, there was no
thought of his visiting the United
States. In fact, there was consid-
cradle doubt about both his polit-
ical future, and that of his
country.
Torn by secessionist elements in
Katanga and Oriental Provinces,
the Congo was threatened by a
civil war that hung like a guillo-
tine over the country. Many peo-
pie feared a big power war might
result from the resulting power
vacuum.
In recent months, however, the
U. N. succeeded by somewhat
debatable means - to force Mr..
Tshombe to negotiate his return
to the Congo. Last December, he
signed an agreement with Mr..
Adoula at the Kitona hospital near
Leopoldville which when ratified
would effectively bring Katanga
back into the fold.
This led to the collapse of the
Antoine Gizenga faction in ORR
entail Province. These Moscow
supported leftists seemed to gain
their strangth from disorder, but
to lose it when the country was
strong.

As q Gesture

This offer was regarded widely
as a gesture to prove the Vests
good intentions. But Mr.. Khru-
shchev seized the opportunity to
play his own propaganda hand,
which he does generally quite
skillfully. There is the possibility,
in fact, that he may go to Geneva
even if the Western leaders stay
home, and use the Geneva table
as sounding board to publicize
the Soviet Unions peaceful in
tentions.
Mr.. Khrushchev's motivation is
always subject to debate-internal
problems, conflict with Red China,
or sincere desire for agreement.
Whatever the reason, only the So
Wet bloc thinks the time is ripe
for a summit.
In any event, prospects for the
disarmament conference are very
bleak. There undoubtedly will be
much talk, but little accomplished
the pattern that has plagued
disarmament since the word was
first coined.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1962-02-18
On Inspection

The Soviet Union says this type
of control is espionage and would
lead to distrust. Inspection of
means of production should be
held, the Soviet Union says, only
after general and complete dis
armament has been accomplished.
Since the United States does not
trust the Russian word, such dis
armament on faith is ruled out.
In recent weeks, however, an
other element has been added to
the disarmament picture the
issue of nuclear testing.
Mr.. Kennedy has said he would
decide at the end of the month
whether to resume tests again.
The decision, he promised,
would be based completely on the
need of national security. Most
observers feel that the decision
will be to resume tests-but that
the testing will be put off until
after the disarmament negotia-
lions begin.
To show the Vests desire for
disarmament, however, Mr.. Ken
nedy and Mr.. Macmillan had sug-
gested that a nuclear test ban be
included in the Forthcoming talks,
and that foreign ministers take
part in the talks, rather than just
ambassadorial level diplomats.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1962-02-18
Importance of Talk

Ambassadors may disagree, for
eign ministers may insult each
other, but at least the lines of
communication are kept open. If,
as in the case of the May, 1860
Paris conference, the President
and the Russian Premier should
be involved in an impasse, these
lines are abruptly broken. There
the block was Mr.. Khrushchev's
refusal to proceed with the con-
ference after the w. flight.
Mr.. Khrushchev's proposal last
week for a conference now has
reawakened these arguments
about a summit. The United
States and the United Kingdom,
aware of all possibilities, replied
that they favored the idea of a
summit-in principle-but that
they preferred to wait until there
was more prospect of success.
Mr.. Kennedy said:
I do not mean to question
the utility or perhaps even the
necessity of a meeting of heads
of government. Indeed, I am
quite ready to participate per-
sonally at the heads-of-govern-
ment level when it appears
that such participation could
positively affect the chances of
success. 80.
I feel that until there have
been systematic negotiations
until the main problems have
been clarified and progress has
been made, Intervention by
heads of government would in
volve merely a general exchange
of governmental positions which
might set back, rather than adj
vance, the prospects for dis
armament

and West were then quite tense,
there were few who believed that
the principles would ever be really
accepted.

Partisan AnqIe

The Republican National Com
mittee, which had not had much
to say about the lack of informa-
ton, Numbered out on Tuesday.
Its publication, Battle Line,
charged that Mr.. Kennedy was
being "less than candid" in telling
the American people how deeply
we are committed in South Wet
Nam and it raised the question
as to whether the United States
was moving toward another Ko-
rea which might embroil the entire
Far East"
When he was asked to comment
on the G. o. P. charge at his
news conference on Wednesday,
the President was prepared for it.
He did not give out any new in
formation other than to confirm
that our troops had orders to
shoot back if fired upon. Rather.
he defended his close-mouth
policy.

many Of these lands, several of
these officials look upon the East
River skyscraper as sort of re-
ligious shrine.
And since Washington is only an
hour away, these same prime min
listers, premiers and presidents
generally have found time for a
red-carpet visit to the White
House. If they talk of their spir-
itual ideals at the U. N, these
leaders usually talk Of their fl
nancial needs at the White House.
The most recent visitor
golese Premier Cyrille Adoula-
two weeks ago, however, was more
than routine caller. His pres
ence symbolized the hopeful turn
of events in the Congo recently.
