New German Ambassador to u. S.

never liked Germans. appar-
emily forgetting President
Truman and the Marshall
Plan. They recalled Secretary
Henry Morgenthau and ex-
pressed apprehension re-
garding the intellectual elite
surrounding Mr.. Kennedy
Only the most candid voiced
the suggestion that some of
that elite, being Jewish,
might have reservations about
a resurgent Germany.
There appears also to have
been some failure by the Ger
mans to keep their democratic
fences merded while they
were basking in the EiSen-
hower-Dulles sun. They,
therefore, had no readily
available Washington substi-
tuteS, unlike the lucky British,
who rushed an old friend and
kin by marriage of President
Kennedy up the diplomatic
ladder. making him Ambas-
sador to the United States.
The abilities of German
Ambassador Wilhelm Grewe,
who is now being replaced.
are widely recognized and
respected in Washington. He.
of course, has borne the brunt
of the strains imposed by the
Chancellor'S always dictate
rial and increasingly Secretive
rule. He does seem to have
lacked hulnor in dealing with
the President.
The new Ambassador is &C.
Scribed as socially adept and
fully prepared to make the
prescribed splash in Wash
ington society.

er influence than any writ

will be q tendency to cut
down on armament expense
as the Saturation point in the
power of destruction by nu-
clear weapons is reached.
The emphasis, therefore. is
turning toward economic
development Just now, the
United Nations is streSSing
the Importance of building
up the underdeveloped coun-
tries. The more prosperous
nations are interested be-
cause it means the develop
ment for them ultimately Of
markets for their goods. But
there is beginning to be more
talk heard on the need for
self-government of the back
ward countries. In an address
here this week before the
Economic and Social Coun-
Gil of the United Nations at
tended by representatives
from many countries. Adlai
Stevenson, American Ambas-
sador to the U. N. said:
1T is not for us to devise
panaceas for m o d erniZin G
countries. There are none. II
is rather for them to examine
their own situations to de-
velop their own country'S
plans to mobilize their own
people to correct defects in
their social and economic
structure.
The common factor of de-
velopment in countries which
have achieved Self-suStainiEg
growth has been neither po-
litical nor theological nor the
possession of a wealth of re-
sources or abundance of capt.
tai. 1t has been the emphasis
on the development of human
beings on training. education.
and the building Of inStitu-
tons to develop peoples ca
pacitieS."
This is a healthy note to
strike, and it does not make
less important the furnishing
of private and public funds
in a program of technical
assistance such as the United
Nations is today sponsoring
and for which Ambassador
Stevenson is urging a contri-
button of funds by the people
of every advanced country so
as to help the less fortunate
human beings of a rapidly
developing world whic b
looks now as if it will live for
a long time in peace.

with never a backward glance
at the old days when Chan
cellor Konrad Adenauer oc-
cupied a special place in the
diplomacy of the Eisenhower
Dulles era.
The mood signified by the
new appointment reflects po-
litical and economic realities
which both the United States
and Germany are compelled
to take into account quite
apart from the personalities
involved. The emphasis has
altered from time to time, but
there has been no dramatic
quarrel nor any occasion Tor
suspicion that American pol
icy toward Germany has de-
parted from the officially
stated position.
The reverse is true. The
flow of consultation and re-
assurances regarding Berlin
has been heavy and consist
ent. The Kennedy admins
tration has been at pains to
pay homage to the Chancel-
lor. Secretary of State Dean
Rusk spent two days here IN
late June in almost continu-
Gus dining and discussion
with him. No specific point
was at issue; the aim was
reinsurance.

America has become one
of the main customers of the
newly induStrialized West
ern Europe. Our exports are
no longer limited to high
priced products but to goods
which are now found on the
shelves of the lowest priced
stores in America. The ex-
port of heavy industry is
equally important. A major
economic and financial crisis
IN America would affect our
growing trade across the At
lantic and as a consequence
slow down considerably the
unprece d ented economic
growth of such countries as
Italy, Germany. Switzerland
and France.
This reporter pointed out
that Congress is in the pro-
cess of untangling the hands
of the President of the United
States on the matter of tar
ifs. America will be open to
deals. The President will be
able to reciprocate any tar
IF cuts which would permit
American products to pene-
trate the European markets

was the answer. The tariff
reductions which Europe can
offer your country will not
increase your exports to any
considerable extent. Until
your cost of production is re-
duced. or Europe's is vastly
increased. goods manufac-
tured in the United States
will remain over-priced here.
And it will take years before
the cost Of production in Eu-
rope approaches the high cost
in your country.

European Fear of u. S. Recession

Is the frenZ1ed public eXpen-
ditures and your inability to
come near to balancing your
budget. Frankly. your gov
ernments have acted in the
past and are acting now like
the proverbial improvident
sailor who throws his money
away without regard for the
morrow. You have a deficit
of 81 billion this year. Our
estimates are that unless the
Washington administration
puts a stronger brake on ex-
penditures, both domestic
and foreign, your next years
deficit will be at least as
large if not larger.
If you were not such a
wealthy country. you would
be rated according to all
banking standards as a poor
credit risk There have been
a number of officials and
private American investiga-
tors travelling around Europe
in an attempt to discover by
what means the miracle Of
Western Europe came about.
The answer is simple. Besides
hard work and the Marshall
Plan. which permitted the
building Of newer and more
efficient plants than you
have in America, there was
the careful outstanding Of
each country's exchequer.
of course. there were
times when the budget was
unbalanced in Germany and
France. But on the whole
these deficits were tempo
rary. Over the centuries. the
Europeans have experienced
many devaStations and eco
nomic crises. Their govern
ments have learned the i'm
portance Of penny pinching.
In less than two centuries
you have had the most
spectacular growth ever re-.
corded in history. I believe
it is your people who
have coined the expression,
There's more where that
came from in explaining
extravagant spending. This
saying seems to have been
adopted as a slogan by your
leaders in the present execu-
tive and legislative branches
Of your Government.
Il believe that unless you
trim your sails considerably.
in domestic and foreign ex-,
penditures you are facing the
most serious crisis in your
existence. And should this
occur you will drag us down
with you despite our present
efforts to help you and at
the same time take our own
precautions to meet what
may be an economic hurri-
cane"

Prospects of an Era of Peace
Give Geneva q Changed Air

and both the East and West
know it.
This means that a stale
mate has established itself
and that the world is to live
for a long time to come in a
balance of power" equilib-
rum analogous to that which
maintained the peace of Eu-
rope for periods lasting
through many decades.
This doesn't mean that all
wars will be completely abol-
ished, nor that international
disputes will cease to cause
apprehension. But it does
mean that the danger Of nu-
clear war has been removed
by the very fact that each
side has the means Of de-
Stroying the other. During
the Second World War and
the Korean War, there was
no formal agreement banning
the use of poison gas. But
when it was clear that both
sides had ample supplies and
that use by one would result
in retaliatory use by the
other, the weapon was aban-
doned by both.
So today. while wars Of a
limited nature may come and
would cause great anxiety,
the danger of a nuclear war
has been removed by the
progress made in the perfec-
ton and production Of nu-
clear weapons.
But, it is being asked,
would not the Red Chinese
start a nuclear war since
they undoubtedly will build
or acquire some bombs in the
not-far-distant future? The
answer is that it takes more
money than the Red Chinese
have, or probably ever will
have, to build a strong nu-
clear force. Similarly, Red
China can be instantly dew
astated if it inflicts nuclear
damage on another power.
Millions of Chinese on the
mainland will not support
any regime that might cause
their own destruction. So the
mutual suicide" barrier ap-
plies to Red China, too.
It is not to be expected
that there will be-for a long
time to come. If ever-a
treaty or agreement banning
nuclear weapons. Self-pres-
ervation, however. is a strong

tors.
On the day these notes

heavy-set, middle-aged jap
anese came aboard, accom-
panied by his wife. She was
younger than he by 10 years
or more, and quite pretty. He

GENEVA. - There Is a
change in the air here-the
meeting place for interna-
tional conferences of all
kinds. For years now, in all
background of them all.
there has been an awarenesS
Of the unending struggle be-
tween the East and the West
for mastery in the cold
war" Economic subjectS-the
planning for the underde-
veloped countries and prof.
ects for the alienation Of
human Suffering-have hith-
erto been dealt with in the
atmosphere of a mortal COM
bat between Communist and

The change that emerges
today is no less real because

Despite what Soviet Pre-

propaganda speech in Mos
COW this week about the
threat of a new world war,
the big development is that
the prospects of an era of
peace in the world have sud-
denly improved to a point
scarcely dreamed possible a
few years ago.
What has really brought
about the change? For a
long time the danger of
nuclear war was predicated
on the belief that a surprise
attack" might come at any
time. The debate has gone on
for the last five years as to
whether the United States
could survive such an attack
and whether Americas nu-
clear force was really a de-
terrent. For if there could
be no effective retaliation,
then the word deterrent" be-
came meaningless. Now, how
ever. Americas progress in
military and scientific tech
niques is such that. no matter
how destructive the first
blow" might be, it is certain
that there can be a repriSal
so devastating that no nation
led by men with common
sense would wish to risk such
retaliatory punishment. To
sum up, nuclear war today

The japanese and his wife
