The United States and Brit
ain are now doing something
that many of their leaders have
warned against — talking a
bont (further curtailment of de
fense (programs while the ef
fort to evaluate communism's
latest policies is still going on.
Simultaneous revelations of
planned defense cuts in Wash
ington and London come coin
cidentally with a growing feel
ing that the “Geneva spirit” is
a temporary and perhaps even
a dangerous thing.
Anthony Eden, adopting the
position that rising inflation
and other economic difficulties
require Britain to do something
albout her defense burden,
maintains that what ever is
done will not be permitted to
interfere with the nation’s
contribution to western mili
tary strength through the
North Atlantic! Treaty. Brit
ain’s military leaders, on the
other hand, contend that what
ever is done will weaken the
“back area” of her NATO for
ces and so have its effect.
Any cut in the American de
fense outlay — the financial
authorities would like to see
it reach a billion out of the 34
billion now allotted — is ex
pected to fall most heavily up
on the air force. The air force
is the power to deliver atomic
bombs, whidh the Eisenhower
administration considers so im
portant that'ft has just sugges
ted a spdcial study of this angle
in connection with talk of in
ternational arms reductions.
There is a strong possibility
that the communist ibloc is at
tempting to substitute a long
term program of neutralization
and political infiltration for
its postwar .policy of diplomacy
backed toy the threat of force.
There is a strong possibility
that the United States and Brit
ain can better conduct an ec
onomic and social struggle if
relieved1 of some defense bur
dens. (The United States econ
omic picture indicates that she
is perfectly capable of carrying
both burdens if necessary, and
in whatever sihe does this
should always be kept clearly
before the world.) Those just
released employed figures,
showing a vast drop in unem
ployment against <a vast incr
ease in the potential labor
force, have an important mean
ling for other nations, be they
friendly, enemy or neutral. i
These new defense cuts, how
ever, are toeing suggested a
gainst a background of belief!
in soime quarters that the com
muhists are actually renounc
ing war. That is to evaliue the
“■Geneva spirit” in a fashion
not warranted toy sober consid*
eration of the history and ob
jectives either of Russia or the
communist movement.
, The -United States has a right
to expect that solid business
men Humphrey and Wilson, and
solid soldier Eisenhower, will
ifind a balanced line. They can
expect a diplomat Eden to con
sider the repercussions in in
ternational politics or any ec
conomy move he makes as the
prime minister.
But unwavering determina
tion, readiness, and willingness
to carry the load just as far as
it needs to toe carried, are just
as important to the allies now,
if not more so, than at any time
during the last 10 years.

Chinese revolt
on mainland, says
Tatao agency
TAIPEI (JP) An official Na
tionalist Chinese news agency
reported Tuesday more than
3,000 persons are in active re
volt in the northwestern area
of Human province on the com
munist Chinese mainland.
The report came from the
ministry of interior’s Tatao a
gency, which claims under
ground contacts. The defense
ministry could not confirm the
report, but it appeared plaus
ible in view of the increasing
number of reports put out by
the Reds themselves about so
called “counter revolutionary
activities.”
Hunan province is in central
China.
! Those in revolt, Tatao said,
! were persons whose relatives
■ had been executed or oppressed
! by the Reds. Half had organiiz
1 ed themselves into an armed
guerrilla force. The other half
were using poison and other
means to kill comimiunist offi
cers and political workers.
( The entire group Was said to
be under the direction of a man
