The Russian government also
engages In test-ban and dis

unlike our Government II does
not take these negotiations
seriously--it engages in them
only for propaganda pur-
poses.
We cannot negotiate dis

FutiIity Of Disarmament Negotiation With Reds

Given the facts and issues
Of the present cold war, It
should be obvious that O test

United States and Russia Just
won't work. But there are
many people so blinded by
sentimental pacifi,m that
they feel that q marriage can
and must be made TO work,
and To them the only prob
lem Is TO devise the right
kind Of canopy for the bride
and groom TO stand under.
In Difference 10 this kind of
public opinion. our Govern
ment has felt II necessary TO
engage In negotiations for q
test-ban treaty as well as for
other steps toward disarma-
ment. At the same time, the
Government has not alto
gether abandoned (as some
pacifists have) the concern
for protecting American secu-
rity and the security Of the

Time to Settle This

There is little need for further fact
finding" but an urgent need for effective
mediation or persuasion, facing the
latest presidential board named to in
tervene in the railroad "featherbedding"
case.
In brief, the situation is this: Since
contract freezing archaic work rules
ran out in 1859, the carriers have been
attempting to eliminate or at least up
date requirements that forced them to
spend an estimated $500 million yearly
for work not needed or not even done. A
board named by President Eisenhower,
after the most exhaustive study OF the
issue ever made, submitted formula
early last year for the gradual curtail-
ment OF these ghost Jobs on terms Of
retirement or severance compensation.
Since then, the courts have upheld the
railroads right to proceed-the last legal
action being the lifting Of an injunction
this week. The five operating railroad
brotherhoods made 1t clear they would
strike II the carriers ordered any OF the
layoffs. President Kennedy named an
emergency board on Wednesday.
This is, in fact, Just about the end
Of the line for this issue--whether the
unions like 1t or recognize 1t at the
moment. The railroad industry cannot
afford TO pay wages for work 1t does
not need, or for a sharing OF no work.
Neither the industry nor the Nation can
afford a countrywide rail strike. II
there is one, the end result probably
will be fewer railroad Jobs or legisla-
ton providing compulsory arbitration,
or both.
Only recently the Southern Pacific
Railroad and the Brotherhood Of Rail-
way Clerks found 1t possible to negotiate

Invitation to Mao

After having been invited to Peking
by Mao Tze-tung, Soviet Premier Khru-
shchev now has responded with long
letter urging Red China's fire-breathing
boss to meet him in Moscowt.The purpose
Of the proposed get-together would be
to try to bring about'a settlement Of the
theological differences between the two.
Apparently, however, neither has much
faith in or enthusiasm for the project.
Still, like Alphonse and CASTOR in
the old comic strip, Mr.. X. and General
isSimo Mao continue (as far as words go)
to be excessively polite to each other.
Please come to Picking, one says. And
the other replies, with utmost courtesy,
How nice Of you to ask, but why not
come to Moscow Needless to add, all
this involves much more than the ordi-
nary complexities Of the Inscrutable
East; 1t involves the theological con-
volutions Of dreary Marxist-Le
StaliniSt argument between Red China
and the USSR.
In simplified terms, the argument
has to do with Macs warmongering, and
his seeming readiness to risk a nuclear
war with the United States. Mr.. Khru-
shcllev, for good reasons, and knowing
the nature Of acknowledgement weapons,
whose deadliness Peking does not yet
seem to comprehend, continues to speak
for peaceful co-existence. As TO that, his
point OF view is much sounder than Macs.

FAClS.
A series Of critical elections
In Western Europe during
the next two years could be
Of more than usual signifi-
canoe TO the United States.
In O number Of key coun-
tries, Q distinct trend toward
the left is predicted. And at
the same time another trend
is developing In which the
left Is becoming more and
more identified with Ameri-
can interests in Europe.
These parallel trends - as
already noted exist most
clearly in Britain. Most OBJ
servers take 1t as almost q
foregone conclusion that the
Labor Party under the lead
ership Of Harold Wilson will
return to power in the next
national election. It Is also
becoming clear that Mr.. VIII
son will make his stand on q
strongly pro American At
lantic platform, leaving the
European" pitch to Prime
Minister Macmillan and his
Conservatives.
A New Phenomenon
This Identification Of the
political left In Europe with
the American cause is O new
and perhaps very significant
phenomenon. It has been
brought about very largely by
French President de Gaulle
himself. Since the fiasco at
Brussels and the generals
famous January press con-
ference. there has been q po-
larization Of public reaction
which threatens to reverse
completely the normal pat
terms Of political alignment
that have existed in Europe
since the war.
Today the trends that are
noted In Britain have reflec-
tons In most other countries
Of Europe. The traditional
Catholic conservative leader
ship - which, ironically
enough, has been supported
by the United States for
years against their "unreli-
able" socialist opponents -
are now identified with the
Gaullist concept Of Europe.
Younger, more liberal lead
ers are attacking this concept
as isolationist and retrogres-
sive. And in doing so they
are finding themselves al
most by accident. 1t would
seem-the new champions Of

THIS Is ONLY A PART Of
q single sentence. But for
the reader who has lost his
way amid the foxgloves and
bluebells Of the sweet o. the
year, Mr.. Marcus has sup
piled q footnote. "The Paign-
ton Pudding was made once

WATCHING THE WORLD

BY CROSBY S. MOVE.
Foreign Correspondent Of The stsr

tinuing American influence
In Europe.
This new political oriental
ton could have an impor-
tant effect on elections that
are to take place next month
In Holland and Italy. In both
countries the socialist left Is
expected TO make new gains.
And the new political lean
ings Of the left in respect
to European problems are
certain TO make themselves
more strongly felt than be-
fore.
The same is true Of Ger
many where national cleo
tons are scheduled for 1855.
Here. to be sure, the stu
alton is confused by the
problem Of Chancellor AIDE
nauer's retirement next sum-
mer. His most probable sue
cessor as Chancellor and
head Of the Christian Demo-
cratic Party-Vice Chancel-
Tor Erhard and Foreign Min
lister Schroeder--are known
to be q good deal less Euro
pean" and pro-French than
Mr.. Adenauer. Nevertheless,
II seems probable that here
again the socialist leader
ship starring Berlin's Mayor
Willy Brandt will run on es-
sentially q pro-American
platform.
Winning Horses
In the light Of these pros
poets 1t may seem that the
United States has o num-
Der Of winning horses run
ming in It's favor In Europe
over the coming months. It
also appears that to the ex-
tent that Gen. de Gaulle's
policy really is isolationist
and retrogressive It win suf-
fer in the coming elections.
Whether the current po-
litical polarization win sur
vive in the long run, how
ever, is q good deal more
doubtful. For most observ-
ers. there are two contradic-
tory realities In the present
situation. In the first place
Europe's turning toward the
left seems inevitable. In the
second place, construction of
an independent Europe along
the lines laid down by Gen.
de Gaulle also seems inevi-
table. The problem Of recon-
cling these apparently con-
Trajectory inevitabilities will
provide the grist Of Europe's
politics for years to come.
