Some Diplomats
Feel Arms Race
World's Ailment
By LYLE C. WILSON
United Press Correspondent
Washington U.R) The Ge
neva conference at the summit
for which. President Eisenhower
will depart
Friday night
poses a tough
question which
might be com
pared to the
classic:" Which
came first, the
chicken or the
?'
The Geneva
question
is whether Lyte C. WUmb
political matters or disarma
ment should be undertaKen first.
Some realistically, minded diplo
mats and some realistically
minded newsmen, as well con
sider the current arms race be
tween the Communist and non-
Communist nations to be only a
svmntom of what ails the world,
The organic maladjustment of
world affairs is political or so it
is argued. The arms race is a
svmotom of the organic mal
adjustment. Therefore: If the
maladjustment is corrected, the
symptom will disappear.
Against this logical and per
suasive argument that the - Ge
neva conferees should bear
down on political questions and
let the arms race take care of it
self, however, is a hard, illogi
cal fact of life.
The hard fact is that there is
almost no area of political dis
pute in which the diplomatic
crystal gazers see more than a
remote possibility of agreement,
if that much. In the field of dis
armament, however, there seems
to be some chance of limited
agreement to improve a situation
which is a heavy burden to the
United States and, perhaps, an
impossible burden to the Soviet
Union.. - .'
Secretary of State John Foster
Dulles told a House subcommit
tee last month that the Soviet
Union economy "is on the point
of collapsing." There have
been other if leas official sug
gestions that Moscow's more or
less new diplomatic look- is
caused by an urgent necessity
to turn some of the Communist
world productive faculties away
from armaments and toward the
higher living standards of a
peacetime economy. "
If all of that is accurate, Mos
cow is eager for at least a limited
slowdown in arms spending. The
taxpayers of the United States
unquestionably welcome less ex
pensive national defense and it
would delight the Eisenhower ad
ministration which is baffled and
may finally be embarassed by
38pnq eq aauareq oi XTnqBuj
So a cut in arms spending is
something the two great powers
really would welcome. On that
basis, the administration has put
disarmament at the top of its
Geneva objectives, instead of
making more fundamental poli
tical adjustments the top objec
tives. No arms limitation agree
ment is expected from Geneva,
however. More likely the powers
might agree to a new start to
ward that objective. They might
direct the United Nations sub
committee which long has wrang
led over the problem to back
ub and start over in a spirit of
more determined intent and bet
ter faith.
Some actual limitation might
even be agreed on within 12 or
18 months under such conditions
but not quickly enough to reduce
U.S. taxes soon nor immediately
to improve the Russian living
standard.
Collapsing or not, the Com
munist economy lags behind the
West in the standard to which
its productivity permits its peo
ple to live. A respite would en
able the Communists to improve
their relative position. A settle
ment on that basis, or an accom
modation, as. the diplomats call
it, could be a start toward big
ter things.
But adjustment of basic politi
cal , questions seems far in .the
future. The Soviet Union Geneva
conferees are expected to pro
pose abolition of the North At
lantic treaty, abandonment of
plans to re-arm Germany, neu
tralization of Germany as a mili
tary and political entity, creation
of an. East-West buffer zone in
Europe, abandonment of U.
air. bases and withdrawal of U3.
troops from Europe. Moscow, of
course. .will plus: for disarma
ment and relaxed trade restrict
tions. '
The U.S. might finally give a
little on air bases, troops and
trade restrictions. But the rest
of Moscow's program gets a
curt "no." On the U.S. side it is
planned to. stress arms limita
tion, free elections in the satel
lite states, unification of Ger
many and to refuse to discuss
at all questions relating to the
cold war in Asia. Few of these
political matters seem now to
be headed .' toward satisfactory
discussion or adjustment. ...
