Visions of Another Munich

and that If there vas any
disturbance Of peace in the
future it would be the result
Of a clash between the Ger
man and Russian dictators;
a clash from which the free
world could only profit.
In those days America
alone, instinctively, realized
the danger and opposed the
appeasement Of Hitler to the
great annoyance of France
and England. This reporter
remembers q conversation he
had with French Foreign
Minister Georges Bonnet in
the winter Of 1888. Mr.. Bon
net was angered by our at
titude toward the Munich
Pact. What do you want us
to do" he asked angrily. "go
to war because you don't like
Hitler's treatment Of his
minorities?"
A quarter Of : q century
later it is the United States
which is trying to reach an
accommodation with a dicta-
tor as cruel and relentless
as Hitler. 1t is Europe's turn
to warn Washington, You
can't do business with Khru-
shchev any more than we
could with Hitler"
Washington's answer to all
such warnings is that the
world could be wiped out by
nuclear bombs if we don't
find an accommodation with
the Communists. You can't
compare the pre-nuclear age
with 1862, they insist.
1t is believed here that
Washington Is convinced that
before Mr.. Khrushchev makes
his next aggressive move
there will be a pause" dur
ing which negotiations can
prevent hostilities. But in the
minds of Europeans this
pause" can be as dangerous
as Munich.

CONSTANTINE BROWN
Europeans Fear u. S. Will Foil Into Trop
As They Did With Hitler in the '30s

weak Prime Minister Neville
Chamberlain who unwittingly
plunged the world into World
War II by yielding to Hitler's
demands for negotiation.
History has heretofore con-
demned MIR. Chamberlain be-
cause he did not realize what
Hitler's goals we're. But now
it appears that ne had a
deeper purpose than had been
believed. This was revealed
recently by no less a person
than Britain's present For
eign Minister. Lord Home, in
an interview in the London
Observer. In the fateful sos
he was not only private
secretary to Mr.. Chamberlain
but also his intimate friend.
He was with him at the
meetings with Hitler at Bad
Godesberg and Munich.
When Lord Home was
asked whether he approved
the appeasement of Hitler
by his then chief, he an
sWered that he had. and he
has not changed his mind
since. Mr.. Chamberlain, he
explained, had become so
concerned over the inroads
of communism in Europe and
the Kremlin's obvious deter
mination to change the polit-
ical and social order in the
world that he sincerely be-
lieved that Hitler could even
tually stop Stain.
Moved by this thought, and
also by his conversations with
Hitler concerning world COM
munism, he decided to give
the German dictator the BEN
eft of the doubt. He believed
at the time of the signing
of the Munich Pact that
Hitler meant what he said

send the Democratic nominee
to the Senate, it will be their
choice. The election Of a
United States Senator is not
a presidential appointment.
The American people seem
to like the Kennedys. Ger
tainly Robert Kennedy has
made a most admirable rec
ord as Attorney General. His
critics are few. The loudest
of them, such as the more
clamorous ones in Mississippi,
for example, are grotesquely
irrational. The President and
the Attorney General have
shown themselves to be
tough-minded and able to
make what the elder brother
speaks of as judgments"
The Presidential decisions are
not impulsive. They are
reached after deliberation.
The present is not an easy
time in which to reach judg-
ments. Franklin D. Roosevelt
left a record of firm deci-
sions. But, after all, he had
a relatively easy task of max
ing up his mind. He operated
during two gigantic emergen-
cies, a corrosive, emotional
depression and a flaming
World War.
The Kennedy administra-
ton is working in a period
of vast, complex, interlocked
issues. The instability Of the
Latin-American governments,
the poverty of their economy,
is at one side. Red China.

Ghana Orders
News Censor

ACCRA, Ghana, Sept. 20
Government yes
terday clamped censorship on
outgoing news and ordered ex-
pulsion Of a second British cor
respondent in two days.
Informants indicated officials
were angered by news reports
of recent assassination attempts
against President Nkrumah and
followup security measures. A
state of emergency was imposed
in Ghana last week.
The censorship action was
taken under Ghana's 1860 GRIM
inal code, a Government state
ment said.
An Information Ministry
spokesman told newsmen the
censorship would not be Of the
so-called blind type. He said
an Information Ministry rep
resentative stationed at the
overseas cable office here will
consult with correspondents "if
he decides deletions are neces-
sary and will give them an OPP
portunity to amend material to
which objection is taken" Un-
der blind censorship changes
and deletions may be made
without the correspondent
being notified.
The Interior Ministry, mean
while. ordered immediate ex-
pulsion of Richard Beeston,
correspondent of the London
Daily Telegraph, a conservative
newspaper.
Expelled Thursday was Wal
ter Partington, a London Daily
Express correspondent who was
described by the Ghanaian
Times as a British capitalist
press agent provocateur." The
paper added the action was
taken against Mr.. Partington
"for engaging in activities de-
trimental to the progress and
security of the State and pub
fishing false, wicked and ma
hcious news about Ghana."

there is also a basic inter-
relationship that binds them
all together.
It is obviously impossible to
have a rigid, fixed foreign
policy. There is a fluid quail
ity to much of the worlds
events, and a policy which
today fits Latin America
might not be at all appro-
pirate for the morrow.
At any rate, If Edward
Kennedy is elected to the
Senate, and if he does bring
the same sort Of resolution
and toughness Of mind that
have been demonstrated in
the White House and the At
torney Generals office, he
will be useful.
The President will be cam
paigning for the party's con-
greSsional candidates. Mr..
Eisenhower has announced
he will do a similar chore for
the G. o. p. In past years
Mr.. Eisenhower was never
able to transfer any Of his
unquestioned personal pop
ularity to Republican can
didates. Whether the Ken
nedy magic, which has
reached peaks in the polls
never attained by Mr.. Eisen-
hover, can be helpful is 8
question that cannot be an
swered until the results are
in. But, without any ques-
ton at all, a Kennedy ap-
pearance does stimulate the
local organization and create
an awareness Of the party
and its detectives. n
The incumbent party
usually loses seats in these
nonpresidential election years.
If this traditional apathy Of
the party can be reversed and
some seats gained it will be
a tremendous demonstration
of the Kennedy popularity
and public confidence in him.

Voters Have Right to Elect Kennedy,
Outside Critics Are Reminded
RALPH McGILL

There is. of course. no way
to peer into the minds Of
Massachusetts, voters and de-
termine precisely why they
voted overwhelmingly to send
young Edward M. Kennedy to
the Senate. But at least one
reason is that they like him
and want him in Washing
ton. A second inescapable
conclusion is that they also
approve of the man in the
White House.
The people of Massachu-
sets turned out in record
numbers for the election.
This, plus their heavy Ken
nedy majority. leads us on
to a third deduction. The
voters did not think that hav-
ing a Kennedy in the Senate
would produce a situation
described by some commen-
tators as too many Ken
nedys in Washington"
Mr.. Kennedy is not yet in
the Senate, but the assump-
ton is that he viii be. The
best political minds in his
State so predict. If Novem-
ber's ballots do send him to
washington, then we can ac-
cept the decision as one en-
Enthusiastically arrived at by
the Bay State voters. He will
be their Senator. and while
this seems to pain some edi-
tors and commentators in
what we call the other media
of communication, the posi-
bility of it does not pain a
majority of the citizens Of the
Bay State who are 81 or more
years of age.
BY now it seems reasonable
