The old argument about se
cret diplomacy 'has been reviv
ed in the United Nations by
the demand of Ira'q that inter
ested small nations be invited
to Geneva next month along
with the Big Four foreign min
isters.
“'No impression, should be
left that the Big Four are meet
insg to make decisions for oth
er nations and behind their
backs,” said their delegate Al
Jamali.
Secret diplomacy, he said,
should be finally abandoned
for the sake of peace and mu
tual confidence.
Well, there are all different
kinds of secret diplomacy. The
phrase got an especially bad
name in the world because of
what happened in 1914 after
the tugging and bungling
Which went on in Europe dur
ing the early years of the cen
tury. :
Americans, especially, insis
ted that European diplomats
were going to (have to change
their ways if they wanted Am
erican cooperation.
Since that time open coven
ants openly arrived at have
been an objective, although
few have 'been arrived at with
out a great deal of work in pri
vate, the details of which have
not been published. Some na
tions lay their cards, or most
of them, on the table and- some
don’t. Some make unilateral in
tempretations and reservations,
and some don’t.
The truth of the matter is
-that in any negotiation where
nations are required to com
promise, a complete fishbowl
operation is not possible, any
more than the details of a bank
mepger can be worked out at a
convention.
General ideas may be express
ad openily. Step by step ap
proaches can actually be hind
ered by publicity which makes
it difficult to change (prelimin
ary attitudes as the negotiations
continue.
If the representatives of a
dozen or so small nations sho
uld the present at Geneva next
aaonth, all demanding the ear
of the foreign ministers on ev
ery point affecting their inter
ests, an almost impossible sit
uation would develop.
The principle tihiat the large,
nations would have to rrtake the
peace, ^with the smaller ones
cooperating to guard it once it
was (made, was accepted at the
founding of the United Nations
as the only practical method of
procedure.
This dlid not mean a reserva
tion by the great powers of any
right to sell small nations
down the river while arrang
ing (balances of power, as was
the 18 th and 19th century
practice. The small nations
have their forum in the U. N..
where their views can be made
known and where they will be
weighed at least by the West
ern 'powers.
Kefauversays
Nehru hopes for
visit by president
i NEW DELHI, India (/P) Sen.
Estes Kefauver (D-Tenn) came
out of an interview with
prime minister Nehru Tuesday
! quoting the Indian leader as
hoping President Eisenhower
could visit India to meet the
Indian people.
Kefauver told newsmen af
ter wfhat he described as “near
ly one hour of pleasant conver
sation” that Nehru expressed
symjpihathy with Eisenhower in
his illness and hopes for his
early recovery.
He said he and Nehru dis
cussed the world and the Par
East situation but would say
no more on this subject ex
cept, “I thanked him for the
part he and his government
played in the release of the
American airmen from China.”
“We both expressed hope
that friendly contacts and co
operation between our two coun
tries should be constant and
keep increasing,” Kefauver
declared.
Charlotte, N.C. UP) The

j This all sounds as if we were
j shilling for Stengel’s team. We
; just respect it, that’s all, but
! have to pick the Dodgers* be
cause we happen to think they
are the (best team in baseball
today.
Brooklyn manager Walt Als
ton has at his disposal power
to at least equal that of the
Yankees, and a defense just as
sturdy. He has enough capable
infielders and outfielders to
enable him to shift them around
if he so desires.
He has one outstanding pitch
er in Don Newcomibe, while the
Yankees have two in Whitey
Ford and Tommy Byrne. How
ever, the Dodgers have greater
depth in pitching, including
men who have shown them
selves capable on occasion of
turning in fine performances.
All other things being equal
we would be swayed toward
the Dodgers by the (fact that
the Yankees’ two best pitchers
are left handers, and the Brook
lyn batting order is predomin
ately right handed.
In fact, only one southpaw—
Louis Arroyo of the Cardinals
— went the distance against
the Dodgers during the regul
ar season.
Maybe the drawback to that
reasoning is that this isn’t the
regular season, and anything
can happen in a World Series.
