London's position Is explained
by the fact that agreements with
the Russians are very popular
with the public and hence more
highly valued In domestic politics
in Britain where O national cleo
ton Is set for next year-than In
any Of the other large Western
countries.
This is underlined by the appar-
ent efforts Of British Foreign
Minister r. A. Butler to set up o
meeting with his Soviet opposite
number, Andrei Gromyko, in
Geneva early next year.
The problems within NATO
which need q thorough airing and

The proposed allied multi-lat-

The neutralist kingdom Of Cam

the most strategic pieces Of real

If one recalls that what once

Another Is: IF two historic al

Of trust. how do other intermin-
gled issues resolve themselves7"
AS Ambassador Tuthill said,
But would be unworthy of my
public trust Of I failed to note that
Q solution must be found II the
rest Of our policy is TO succeed"
In the past both Belgian For
eign Minister Paul. Henri Spaak
and United States Secretary Of
State Rusk have called the nu-
clear debate in NATO one Of the
most complex questions ever to
arise among nations.
At the bedrock Of the monu-
mental problem is the realization
on the part of American decision
makers that only the vast nuclear
arsenal at their fingertips COM
mands the respect Of q potential
aggressor. The certainty Of sweep
ing destruction well below Soviet
subsoil to the rooftops Of the
Kremlin in the event Of q Soviet
sneak attack Is o sobering
thought.
SmoIler Powers Fear
Since the reverse Is true regard
ing destruction Of American cities
and that q reasonable riuclear de-
tente Is at hand without either
side saying 1t. the smaller powers
are torn between the serious Unit
ed States pledge to hurl its nu-
clear might into Q European con-
flict and the very human belief
that Buffalo. N. Y, might not
be traded for Bonn, Germany, or
Birmingham, England, or Bor-
deaux, France.
The latter philosophy has often
been expressed In the House Of
Commons and IN the Chamber of
Deputies to justify British and
French deterrents. The Germans
have been publicly silent but
openly nervous.
American spokesman In Europe
admit the MILF is not the last
word In a solution to the nuclear
problem but they. and many lis
teners. think It is the only posi-
bic first step to NATo interdepen-
dence or else the Alliance may
crack.
The same issue has seriously
threatened to crack the historic
lS0-year alliance between the
United States and France.
Yet multilAteral accord Is not
new to Western civilization. Crew.
men on Nelson's ship at Trafalgar
spoke q dozen languages. as did
the men Of the Crusades before
them and men Of the Foreign Le-
gion and Of the merchant navies
later. 1
The six-year-old issue Is coming
home to roost and its outcome
win affect American foreign poll
cy for years to come.

The BIG QUESTION IN EUROPE

rate status In nuclear dealing
with the United States.
The United States Congress
particularly dashed many at
tempts for closer cooperation
with France. Now France Is IN q
position to return reprisals II she
chooses.
So far, France has chosen to
wait and see. The Chicken War"
or poultry issue flared up mostly
over West German economic
discrimination over poultry prod
ucts imported from the United
States.
The comic diplomatic opera
over chickens Is important to
Americans In that the issue Is Q
prime example Of trade barriers in
agricultural products.
Almost IS per cent Of total
United States merchandise ex-
ports Of $20.6 billion are agricul-
tural exports. With Q substantial
United States market for poultry
in West Germany, the American
exporters suddenly were faced
with duty increases from Is per
cent to IS per cent.
Against Discrimination
This type Of discrimination Is
what the johnson administration
wants to eliminate next year, an
election year.
Realization that economic and
military issues are interrelated
has become increasingly evident
because Of the strength Of the
youthful Common Market whose
members are also members Of
NATO.
The progress made by France in
missilery and In nuclear weapons
coupled to the aftermath Of the
Nassau agreement have drawn the
ENHANCEMENT into sharper focus.
This clearing Of issues was
clearly pronounced by Ambassa-
dor Tuthill: The defense Of Eu-
rope and Of North America Is now
technically. as well a. politically
and economically, indivisible."
West German officials here
have examined his words closely.
The Soviet threat to them Is q
real. everyday danger. Yet the
only proven deterrent, nuclear
power, Is something the Germans
have pledged not to develop inde-
pendently.
The arguments In favor Of an
independent deterrent are the
same here as In London and in
Paris. Yet for years the London
announcements fell on sympathe-
tic ears In the American Congress,
identical Paris arguments fell on
hostile ears and current German
rumblings on somewhat confused
ears.

clear strike power.

gagged in their own missile pro-

BONN December Is q key
month for important develop
ments In United States foreign
policy In Europe with one key Is
sue coming up In Paris within q
fewweeks.
It seems certain that the NATO
ministers will then make some
move to show real" progress on
the debated Multilateral Nuclear
MLH Force which has been
building up steam slowly since the
last, year Of the Eisenhower
administration.
What Is now becoming clear
here In Europe Is that the out
come Of the nuclear issue has q d.
rect bearing on economic issues ia
the United States.
The coming johnson round of
the General Agreement Of Tariffs
and Trade &C. A. T. To In MAY.
1864 and eventual cooperation
between the United States and
the Common Market bloc are
hanging in the balance of the
central issue Of NATO- nuclear
power.
Failure Of the economic issues
would adversely affect the take.
home pay Of taxpaying American
voters and this could become an
election year issue.
The Issue in England
The nuclear issue Is a partisan
issue In England and has spanked
heated exchanges recently In the
United Nations between United
States delegates Charles c. STEELE,
Soviet delegate K. v. Nivikov and
Jo7ef Winiewicz, the Polish Depu-
ty Foreign Minister.
The Communist representatives
accused the United States of SOW
Ing seeds Of nuclear war in West
Germany.
On several recent occasions, the
official news agency Tass blasted
development plans Of the multi
nuclear" force as being q scheme
Of American and West German
military circles"
In blunt replies the United
States has treated the Soviet posi-
ton as hypocritical, stating the
Soviets deployed nuclear weapons
In positions to threaten cities in
Western Europe while holding
that reciprocal measures cannot
properly be taken by NATo."
United States Ambassador to
the Common Market John w. Tut
hill told an audience in Antwerp
few weeks ago that some pro-
gress has been made on the
Atlantic partnership in the pre-
urinary talks on the NATO multi
lateral nuclear force"
He added that both political
and military talks are now going
on and are looking towards
working out the actual charter
which would govern the creation
and operation Of such forces"
The U. S. Position

States officials In Europe have
been permitted to say openly
