Europe Fearful of Price of Peace

ments for a military alliance
with Germany. The price:
Half of Poland and the for
mer Baltic provinces which
had ecome independent
states after 1920.
Stalin's objective was sim
pie: Plunge the capitalists
into a bloody conflict and
allow communism to reap a
rich political harvest on the
ruins of the West.
There is evidence, not fully
published yet, that Serge, the
Nazi agent in Tokyo who con-
vinced the Japanese to strike
at Pearl Harbor rather than
at Russia. was actually a a
Communist In MoScow's pay.
These are facts which Eu-
ropean diplomats take into
consideration when they ex-
anime the hot-and-cold po-
licies Of the Kremlin. At pre-
sent Moscow gives the i'm
preston to those who want
to hide their heads in the
sand that she is willing to
end the existing tensions
with the United States.
The recent smiles Of Pre-
mier Khrushchev and Mr..
Gromyko may lead wishful
thinkers to believe that there
has been q change of heart
in the Kremlin. But on close
examination, nobody can de-
tect it. The basic philosophy
Of the Kremlin remains to-
day as 1t existed in the days
Of Lenin: Words must have
no relation to action other
wise what kind Of diplomacy
is 1t? Good words are q
mask for concealment Of bad
deeds. Sincere diplomacy Is
no more possible than dry
water or wooden iron."

ing of the Nationalist offshore

Mao Tze-tung's Human Prov
ince. he Joined the Red Army
at the age of 16. Then deputy
commander of the artillery
corps, he was a member Of the
delegation that went to Moscow
in 1852 to negotiate the return
to China of the Changchun
Railway In Manchuria. He is
about so.
Mr.. Fang, also from Human,
was a corporal in the Nam
chang police force when its
chief was Chu Teh who later
was to become founder of the
Red Army. He became a regi-
mental commander under Mar
shall Lin Piao, now national de-
fense minister, and underwent
a period Of training at the Red
Army university in Moscow in
1892.
AS commander Of the 44th
Army Of the 4th Field Army In
1948, he took part in the occu-
patton of Canton and became
commander of the Canton
garrison. In 1851. he assumed
command Of the 18th Army
Corps. L.
Switches to Navy
He switched in 1853 to the
Navy, becoming commander OF
Navy units in the central-south
area and vice commander of
the Navy. He became q vice
admiral in 1855.
He was named vice minister
Of the first ministry Of machine
building in 1860.
For two years. Peking has
been shifting emphasis from
heavy industry to machines and
equipment for agriculture to
try to spur tagging farm pro-
duction. If the new ministries
were formed to expand this

would have been chosen to
oversee 1t.
The Chinese have disclosed
that the Soviet Union reneged
on a 1857 promise to supply
them with the ingredients and
know-how for construction of
an atomic bomb. Peking has
made 1t clear that 1t intends
to build nuclear weapons, even
though the process may be a
long one.

CONSTANTINE BROWN
Russian Stand on German Settlement
Seen UnoItered Despite u. N. Euphoric

The gun which fired the
fatal shots at Sarajevo was
held by a young fanatic. Ser
bian Gabriel Princip. But the
remote control of Princip's
hand was the Russian min
lister at Belgrade, N. de
Hardwig. 1t was he who or
ganiZed and financed the
pan-Slav movements in the
provinces of Austro-Hungary.
The ultimate goal Of the
st. Petersburg government
was to consolidate the Slavs
under the Cars scepter and
then move on to Constan-
tinople to obtain access to
the warm waters Of the
Mediterranean. One Of tn e
secret clauses Of the Triple
Entente, published in 1920 by
the Bolsheviks, proved this
conclusively. Thus, had it not
been for the Czarist ambitions
to expand the Russian en-
pire, World War I might
have been avoided.
AS for World War II, there
is no doubt that had Stain
not signed an alliance with
Hitler, the Austrian maniac

MAX FREEDMAN

The other day wrote a
column which was very criti-
cal Of the recent role of the
Central Intelligence Agency
in Wet Nam. The article
caused quite a stir in the ad-
ministration, where 1t spread
more pain than enlighten-
ment. Apparently the suspi-
cion has taken hold that I
was used by some Of my
friends in the State Depart
ment as part of a campaign
to discredit the CIA.
! do not have to defend
myself against this suspicion.
I am not that kind Of a jour-
nalist, and, unless I deceive
myself, few can think I am.
There is, however, one
public issue that deserves at
tention. The sensitive res
ponse to the column is an
indication of the deep emo
tions aroused by the debate
over Wet Nam. Quite plainly,
the administration cannot do
its work If important officials
are afraid Of a sneak attack.
This is the only question that
will be discussed here. and I
can best do it in personal
terms.
In general, my views on
Wet Nam are rather similar
to those expressed over many
months by Senator Mans
field. I think many avoidable
mistakes have been made In
that country and are being
made even now. I go beyond
Senator Mansfield in believ-
ing that even a defeat for
American policy in Wet Nam
would be far less serious to
American interests in Asia
than we have been led to be-
lieve.
One night I said all this to
a friend. He was startled by
what he regarded as my levi
ty of judgment and under
took to teach me the real
facts about Wet Nam. AS a
result I wrote a column de-

The euphoria which pre-
vailed at the United Nations
after the speeches of Presi-
dent Kennedy and Russia's
Foreign Minister Gromyko
has not extended to Europe
to any degree.
The hard bitten realists of
the Old World believe in the
genuineneSs Of President
Kennedy's sentiments and
his anxiety to end all ten
sions. But they fear that he
may be willing to pay almost
any price. And the price"
judging by a close examina-
tion Of Moscow's chief diplo-
matte speech is a settlement
Of the G an profile m
strictly in line with Soviet
desires. The German problem
is the crux of the Cold War
in Europe.
Mr.. Kennedy has indicated
vaguely that he will not re-
treat in that matter. But this
is being taken with a grain
OF salt. There is a precedent
for such suspicious; he spoke
in strong terms when he Wis
tied the Berlin Wall, and
retracted considerably when
he later spoke before the
Free University Of Berlin.
Russia, h having won easy
diplomatic victories in the
last three years. is expected
to make only token conces-
sionS at the most.
Mr.. Gromyko raised on the
floor Of the United Nations
the old propaganda line of
blaming all the evils of the
last so years on Germany.
When history is no longer
doctored, say diplomats with
the experience of the past, it
will become obvious that it
was Russian diplom a cy
which was actually RESPONSE
BILE for the last two wars.

Lobbyist PickedWronq
On 2 Sides, Probe Says

The activities of a Washing
ton public relations man who
played both sides of the politi-
cal street-and backed the los
ers-were unveiled today by
the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee.
The committee, in its con-
tinuing investigation of Ameri-
can agents of foreign princi-
pals, made public the closed
session testimony Of I. Irving
Davidson.
Mr.. Davidson. according to
committee records, is registered
as an agent for the president OF
Nicaragua, Ecuadorian sugar
interests, the Indonesian mill
tary attache, an Indonesian de-
velopment group and Israeli
military interests. His reported
fee from Nicaragua alone was
1000 monthly. plus expenses.
Mr.. Davidson's failure as a
political prophet came in for
special committee attention be-
cause Of his repeated assurance
es to his Nicaraguan principal
in 1860 that II Lyndon B.
johnson didn't win the elec-
ton, Richard Nixon would and
I'VE will be the winner"
"Was Real Wrong"
/ Asked about a note to the
Nicaraguan presidents pres s
secretary containing that assu-
rance, Mr.. Davidson replied:
II thought I had 1t locked,
either johnson or Nixon. I was
real wrong"
Committee members ques-
toned Mr.. Davidson extensive
ly about q letter he wrote to
the then Nicaraguan president,
Luis A. Somoza, in July, 1860,
when he reported that he was
going to the Democratic con-
vention where I will be in the
active camp of Lyndon john
son."
The letter continued:
IT have made available to the
johnson camp the strength, ct
al, Of labor money. delegates,
hospitality, votes, etc. which ]
will make available to the
Republican nominee in Chicago
at the end Of this month. The

Under questioning, Mr.. Da-
wilson said he was referring to
the international Brotherhood
of Teamsters. He acknowl-
edged that he also made the
$4,000 militant workers" avail
able to the Republicans.
The committee didn't ask
how Mr.. Davidson could pledge
the Teamsters. He has told a
Star reporter Of his friendship
with Teamster President James
Hoffa.
In the same letter before the
Democratic convention, Mr..
Davidson wrote President So

When Mr.. Davidson's testi-
mony was circulated for COM
ment before being made public
George E. Reedy, assistant to
Vice President johnson, wrote
the committee that the Vice
President does not know Mr.
Davidson and has never met
him.
Mr.. Reedy added that the
Vice President does not know
former President Somoza mo-
has he at any time ever made
or authorized a ny statements
whatever relating to his pre-
sent or prospective attitude to-
ward Mr.. Somoza's administra'
ton"
On the Republican side, the
committee brough out thai
Mr.. Davidson had the Nicarag'
uan government pay for five
500 tickets to a 1856 dinner
for President Eisenhower.
He said he bought the tickets
because he was personally ir
need of probably some stature
with the Republicans" and the
benefits would rub off on Nj
caragua."
Ask About Check
The committee questioned
Mr.. Davidson about a SIS
check made out to Earl H. VosS
of The Star on January 8, 1859
Mr.. Davidson said he did not
know Mr.. Voss but had gotten
in touch with him after he got
a call from Nicaragua asking
about q story which hao
r e a C h e d Nicaragua over UP
wires. He said he was told thai
Mr.. Voss was the author OF the
story, so he called Mr.. Voss ano
was told that the original story
was much longer as it appeared
in The Star.
He said he asked Mr.. Voss tc
wire the full story to Nicarag-
uan newspapers and subse-
quently sent him a check.
Senator Symington, Dem o.
crat of Missouri. asked Mr.. Da-
wilson If it was correct thai
"you did not know what was ir
the story. and, therefore. yor
were not remunerating Mr.
Voss for saying anything in the
way of praise or anything dero-
eatory with respect to Nicarag-
ua." Mr.. Davidson said that
was correct.

American businessmen are

ton since the war.
Informed Government sourc-
es say that a group of Ameri-
can ira ders, now in Ottawa,
has received a firm offer from
Russian officials to purchase
more than 100 million bushels

The traders, representing
several large exporting firms,
are expected to apply for an
export license from the Com
merce Department soon. Ad-
ministration officials have in
dicated informally that such an
application would be Viewed
favorably," a high Government
source said.
Rests With Kennedy
The final decision on wheth-
er to issue the license for the
export Of the subsidized Ameri-
can wheat will rest with Presi-
dent Kennedy. 1t probably will
be one Of his first pieces OF
business after returning to
Washington from his Western
tour.
High-level officials say that
Mr.. Kennedy has kept abreast
OF the wheat developments
while travelling In the West. He
strongly favors the deal, pro-
vided certain conditions are
met, they say.
Among these conditions" Il
the support Of key congresion-
