The exchange of notes be
tween West Germany and Rus
sia and other preliminary re
iports on chancellor Adenau
er’s impending visiit to Moscow
suggest the meeting will be a
pretty fair preview of what to
expect at the foreign ministers
conference in October.
Russia replied with alacrity
to Adenauer’s insistence that
German reunification be made
a cardinal point of discussion.
It was natural that she should
do so. since reunification is the
bait she is diangling in an at
tempt to wean Bonn away from
the North Atlantic pact.
Adenauer, presumably for
domestic political purposes, had
demanded this discussion as
something be was afraid he
might not get. But every issue
between him and the Soviet re
volves around this point.
Russia igndred another mat
ter which is a vital domestic
issue to the Germans, the re
turn of wiar prisoners. If the Ru’s
sians follow the pattern of Gen
eva and of the negotiations
with the Chinese Communists
for return of American pris
oners, this will be the point of
concession with which they o
pen the Adenauer visit.
At the open inig of the Big
Pour meeting they announced
their adherence to the Eisen
howdr atomis-for-peace pool.
The Chinese opened with an
nouncement of release of 11 Am !
eridan fliers whose imiprison- j
merit had created great heat. !
The Russians may very well i
tell Adenauer first thing that
steps are undiar way to release
the prisoners.
The willingness of Russia to
go on from there to discuss re
unification has produced no cel
dbiration in Germany, where it
is realized that discussion is
one thing and concrete progress
another. The Bonn government
is under no illusions about this
and has been attempting to fore
stall optimism, with a resulting
letdown, among the people.
The Russians have made it
very clear that the price of re
unification is disassoeiation of
Germany from NATO and an
All-European security pact to
replace it. This is a price nei
ther the Germans, nor the Al
lies who still control German
reflations with Russia, are will
ing to pay.
By inviting Adenauer to Mos
cow the communists are, of
course tryinjg* to play the same
game they did with Austria. In
that case they offered Austria
a settlement which was grasp
ed as a drowning man clutches
at Strtaws, and the Allies would
have had to agree whether they
wanted to or not. They did a
gree to some things they didn’t j
like.
There is no fear among the 1
Allies that Adenauer will per-!
mit himself to Ibe maneuvered !
into any position which would
call for their veto. In the mean
time, they will be getting in
