There’s something odd about
the way the Chinese Beds are
handling the release &i Ameri
can citizens.
The (pattern lemm to foe
clear enough, but the reasons
for it are obscure.
First they released Ameri
can military personnel who
had not been accused of crimes
then those who had been con
victed. Now they are releasing
civilians in the same order.
Yet the Reids are represent -
ed as anxious to get armund to
an entirely different field of
discussions at Geneva, involv
ing the broad issues of conflict
between Peiping and Washing
ton. I# this is true, why don’t
they go ahead and release all
the Americans, or all they in
tend to ,and get down to busi
ness?
Various speculative answers
have been offered, but the
Reds give bo read chaos them
selves. Sometimes they appear
afraid of the stories the repat
riates will tell, such as the tor
ture stories told by the fliers.
They may hope the stories of
those more leniently treated
will help leaven world reac
tion. It’s a tossup, though, as
to whether spreading the stor
ies over a period of months is
not worse for the Beds than
one 'burst of agony.
One abjective, and exne thatj
saems to me to be likely, may
be to establish m almost in- j
terminable pattern, fear all
talks in which the Bette en
gage, as in the Moreau twee
negotiations. This gives them
a background lor long talks,
without action, in the expected
negotiations on redaction of
tensions.
This would fit in with the
theory, held by many if not
most experts, that internation
al communism, having been
forced by the threat of extinc
tion to turn away from force
as a weapon of expansion, now
wants time to develop a new
war of neutralization and in-!
filtration:
To get this time, and to pro
duce an atmosphere of relaxa-1
tion among their opponents,
the communists may realize
that they are going to have to
make, or seem to make, further
concessions.
In such a program, the time;
they can put between conces
sions might be very important
They have made two already
— in Austria, amid by a more
passive attitude toward For
mosa. A third move toward
seeming cooperation, in the
field of peaceful uses of atomic
energy, probably does them
more good than harm. Another
move toward the appearance off
cooperation, without any act
;ual valuable concessions, is ex
pected to result from negotia
tions with the Germans in Mos
cow.
Whether these things actu
ally affect the Geneva negotia
tions on detained Americans,
or whether the Reds just hate
to admit they have been wrong
and are trying to give a judi
cious appearance to their ac
tions, is jiust another of the so
many questions of the day.
