Its Future Seen Darker Than That

CHARLES BARTLETT

The preoccupation of the
press and officialdom with
the problems Of South Wet
Nam has opscured the pub
hes awareness Of the fer
greater problems and uncer-
tainties which confront the
neig boring Communist
republic Of North Wet Nam.
A precise view OF condi-
tons there becomes impor-
tant at q time when disinay
over the intransigence Of the
Diem government Is prompt
ing proposals for the neu-
tralization Of South Wet Nam
or for the reunification Of
North and South Wet Nam
as an independent bulwark
against Chinese expansion.
A major flaw in these pro-
posals derives from the fra:
gile political ana economic
state Of North Wet Nam.

Since the United states

there can be no denying the

Here In Washington, the
opposition to the treaty was

Gus warning that skepticisrn
as to the peaceful intentions
Of the Soviet Union has not
been removed.
The circumstances sur
rounding the making Of the
treaty. however, are still a
mystery. The motives Of the
Soviet Union are not clear.
The Western. World has for
so many years encountered
fluctuations in Soviet policy,
especially as agree me n t S

that many observers find 1t
difficult today to attribute
virtue to the Moscow govern

There are, however. some
basic considerations which
not be overlooked, and
they tend to support the
theory that the world may
really be e m barkin g on Q
course that will avoid 0 big
war. Accidents. Of course, can
happen and little wars can
suddenly provoke big ones,
but the reasons why Moscow
will seek to maintain peace
for o long time to come cur
rently outweigh any factors
that might possibly bring on
a war.
In the first place. few AM
orleans realize the intensity 0
feeling Of the Soviet people
about war itself. The figures
vary, but 1t has been esti-
mated that 20 million per-

wounded, manned or lost all
their possessions in the holo-
caust Of World War II. A
people who have undergone
such great suffering are
more apprehensive about an
other war than are the Am

Ever since 1917 the Rus

Russia's diplomatic policy
was to stay out Of entangling

make a pact with Hitler, but
