Interpreting News 1
by J. M. Roberts
A. P. News Analyst
You can get ujp a pretty
good argument on both sides as
to ‘whether ii: is wise to end one
unsuccessful international con
ference by annoucing plans, for
another.
The factors involved are both
tangible and intangible. Not
all are directly involved with
the major question, which is
Ithe tug-of-war for Germany.
The chief intanlgible factor is
that scheduling another four
power meeting now rtendis to
continue the situation which
began when the summit meet
ing was planned, in which un
founded hopes for east-west
settlements interfered with
prosecution of 'the western de
fense program.
Russia’s clear demonstration
this time that she pursues a
strictly “heads I win, tails you
lose” policy should put a damp
er on this tendency. Neverthe
less, the tendency to mark time
pending scheduled negotiations
is always there, and is especial
ly noticeable in connection
with such things as West Ger
man rearmament.
The other side of this coin is
that during the latest negotia
tion period Red China has also
been marking time in her pol
itical approach, if not in her
military preparations, on thei
Formosa question.
The allies may hope, by sch
eduling a new conference, to
delay Russia’s direct approach
to West Germany on the reun
ification issue.
Russia began setting1 uip mach
inery for this approach before
the summit conference, intend
ing ito go ahead with it after
the conferences which she knew
would fail. Bui: the reasons why
she should not violate the
“truce” created (by continuing
negotiations, and why she can
not refuse to enter them, seem
almost as cogent as for the al
lies.
Both sides at Geneva have
made many moves designed pri
marily to influence nations
which are not yet definitely
commii.fed dn the cold war. An
appearance of sincerity in try
ing for settlements is import
ant in this contest.
There is not the slightest
reason Ito (believe, however, I
that another conference next?
spring will bring the contest- !
ants any closer to agreement, j
The final communique Wed- j
nesday will Ibe optimistic. It'
fyjll stress 'things that the two
sides are agreed upon, sudh as
that war is bad. BuL the facts
of life -will remain as they were
1 before the summit conference
and the foreign ministers con
ference, and as they have been
ever since Russia devised her
plan to conquer the world /.thr
ough communism.
