MAIL TRIBUNE
A Good Start
That was a very inspiring speech President
Eisenhower delivered to his associates in the "Big 4"
meeting, with special attention to his old pal Com
missioner of Defense Zhukov. And it was the truth.
The fear of "Nato" that Russia has nourished is,
as far as the United States is concerned, completely
unjustified. The United States will never attack
Russia, and without the USA there could be no attack,
from "Nato" or anyone else.
But it would have been too much to expect that
Zhukov would, because of such assurance, have at
once advised his colleagues to drop their insistence
that before they agree to the unification and freedom
of Germany Nato must be dissolved.
v 1
A ND such an attitude is understandable. For it is
the past and the future that Soviet Russia is con
sidering, not the present.
Russia can't forget that but for American help,
Russia might well be today a Hitler-Fascist satellite.
Russia with all her might was beaten until Uncle
Sam came to the rescue.
And while, as Premier Bulganin pointed out, there
was no doubt of President Eisenhower's good faith
or sincerity, how about the future? Then someone
else may be in the White House, and Germany may
well be as much the master of western Europe in a
military sense, as was the case 15 years ago?
CO THE Russian refusal to come to an understand-
ing on the President's terms should cause no great
surprise. We doubt if even Mr. Eisenhower or his
advisers expected anything else.
But this refusal does not mean the conference is
doomed to failure. In fact the absence of resentment
shown by the Russians at such a suggestion by
President Eisenhower, this change of attitude
on the part of the delegation from the Kremlin,
marks a long step in advance.
Perhaps the change is both superficial and tem
porary. Only the future can determine that.
But it IS a definite change, does produce a cli
mate for international discussion and consideration
that has never existed beforehand does indicate,
as we have so often pointed out, that while no fur
mal agreements of epoch-making importance are apt
to be sealed and signed at this meeting, it does repre
sent a start toward further discussions, and a better
understanding between the two countries than has
existed since the end of the war. And that is some
thing in fact considerable.
I
NCIDENTALLY those who followed the last presi
dential election at all carefully, will not share the
mystification of certain newspaper correspondents
at Geneva when President Eisenhower sternly refused
to shake, hands with Premier Bulganin for the benefit
of the assembled news-photographers.
It is often claimed the President is not a politician.
But that isn't proved by the fact he doesn't like
politics.
In the last campaign the McCarthy group of
isolationists and racists, circulated a photograph in
one of their "smear sheets" showing General Eisen
hower in Europe drinking a toast with General
Zuhkov, and also riding
riage both gentlemen in
We doubt if the smear changed any vote. But
we don't doubt that the experience, convinced Gen
eral Eisenhower that the less he goes in for photo
graphs with prominent "furriners" the better par
ticularly "furriners" the other side of the "iron cur
tain," and a short time before a presidential election.
R.W.R.
Rather Ridiculous
Naturally with another election coming up next
year Congressman Harris Ellsworth is already looking
at the political situation from the standpoint of votes.
No one can blame him for that.
But it is surprising that in view of his record he
should try to pose as a strong supporter of public
power as opposed to private power development.
.
THAT is what he is doing, however, where the Tal
ent project is concerned. He not only blames the
Democrats in the House for reducing the federal ap
propriation for that development, from $500,000 to
isv,vvv, Dut claims m nis latest letter to constituents
that he is working to have this amount increased by
100 at least, and had the Senate not aenmesced in
the House reduction, he
this.
VET this Talent project is purely and entirely a f ed-
eral proposal. There is no participation by private
capital, there is no "partnership" even suggested. If
ivA is creeping socialism and a case of the com
munist camel putting his nose under the tent, then
this must be just as wicked from the Ellsworth stand
point, for the fundamental principle is the same.
AS STATED no one can blame Mr. Ellsworth for
starting early to mend his political fences.
But we should think he would not STRESS thp
public vs. private power issue this early in the game, I
or at an ior mat matter.
For he is probably going to have some competition
next year. And if so, it doesn't seem likely the stand
he has taken on public power and still takes will not
be brought to the attention of the voters, early in the
campaign.
When it is won't this effort to make it APPEAR
he and the Republican leaders are for federal power
and irrigation projects, and the Democrats a D-n in at
appear rather ridiculous?
.We should think so!

GREAT EXPECTATIONS
The President and Premier
Bulganin have in their public
statements on the eve of Geneva
set their sights
very high in
deed on the
goal of a peace
of understand
ing and not
merely, as we
had all been
supposing, on
an armistice in
the cold war
end on meas
Walter Lippmann
ures of co-existence. This is to
go very far very fast. Both men
seem to have achieved this prod
igy of optimism 'by embracing
for public consumption the
same theory of the cold war. It
is that the conflict between the
two great coalitions is due not
to opposing interests but to a
misunderstanding.
The President insisted that if
in Geneva "we can change the
spirit in which these conferences
are conducted" then although
there will be "long and tedious
negotiations that must take
place," the "details of these prob
lems can be settled." Premier
Bulganin also, though of course
in different terms, took the view
that if the men at the top met
in a different spirit, the issues
which have divided the world
would be mere "details."
IJULGANIN'S public thesis was
stated in these words, "It is
sometimes said that a peaceful
settlement of international issues
in dispute is prevented by the
difference in the social and state
structure of different countries,
yet the social and state structure
is a domestic affair of the peo
ple of each country . . . Why
should the difference in social
and state structures prevent the
peoples from living in peace, re
specting each other, developing
mutually advantageous trade and
cultural relations?"
The answer to this is that the
"state structure" is not "a do
mestic affair" insofar as the
great instruments of foreign pol
icy the military establish
ment, propaganda, intervention
are controlled by a govern
ment which operates in the pro
foundest secrecy. As long as it
is characteristic of the state struc
ture of the Soviet Union that its
policies for peace or for war are
made without public debate,
without public accountability,
but privately and without notice
or explanation, there cannot be
that "atmosphere of confidence,
mutual understanding and busi
nesslike cooperation" for which
Premier Bulganin pleaded.
This does not mean that there
must be war. But it does mean
that between the two systems
there can only be what Soviet
leaders used to call "co-existence"
namely, living side by
side but armed and ever on the
alert. For confidence and mu
tual understanding it is essential
that the formation of great pol
icies and the taking of great
decisions should be in some im
portant measure visible, and
therefore, incapable of serious
and dangerous surprise. "
It is essential, that is to say,
in the case of a great power
which is capable of waging a
great war. There are countries
within the Western world which
do not" have democracy and do
not have freedom, which operate
secretly. But as they are in
terms of modern weapons mili
tarily impotent, they do not
trouble the peace of the world.
But countries like the Soviet
Union and the United States are
so powerful that unless the con
trol of their power is more or
less visible, there cannot he true
confidence and unavoidably
there will be fear and suspicion.
-
T HOPE it is not too self-right-eous
to say that the basic issue
between the U.S.S.R. and the
U.S.A. is the inequality which
exists because we operate in the
public view and they do not. We
are incapable of taking them by
surprise. They are capable of
surprising us. As long as this
inequality is maintained, the
best we can hope for is co-existence
with a strict maintenance
of the balance of power. Only
as this inequality is rectified,
shall we be moving toward the
kind of peace which Eisenhower
Frank Morgan -
FUNERAL DIRECTORS
. "The Chapel of
Cherished Memories"
CHAPEL MORTUARY
Across from the Courthouse
Tomorrow
Lippmann
and Bulganin were talking
about.
This inequality is at the bot
tom of the whole dispute about
inspection and enforcement in
an agreement about armaments.
We have been trying, without
much hope of success, to invent
and to fabricate an artificial sub
stitute inside the Soviet Union
for the public visibility of our
own military establishment. For
while we make a great fuss about
military secrecy, the fact of the
matter is that the information
which matters the most is not
secret at all. There is no secret
about how large are our forces,
how they are equipped, and
where they are. All the infor
mation is in the Congressional
hearings, in the "Congressional
Record," in the principal journ
als, and in the daily press. The
things the Russians do not know
about us would not decide
whether our policy was for war
or for peace.
If we knew as much about the
Soviet forces, and could keep on
knowing it, we would not need to
talk so much about inspecting
their forces.
HPHE crucial question is whether
. the Soviet regime, could be
made to work if the government
operated in the public view. Most
of us have been assuming that
the Soviet form of planned and
directed economy, running on
forced draft to build up heavy
industry, requires secrecy of de
cision and authoritarian rule.
We have supposed that if the
regime were opened up, it would
disintegrate.
Now, it is just conceivable that
with the passing of the old revo
lution generation, with the rise
of the new generation, our old
assumption needs to be re-examined.
Without much doubt
the atmosphere in Moscow is
different, and the Soviet rulers
are acting as if they were willing
to remove at least some of the
veils of the old Bolshevik con
spiratorial secrecy. I
The President's laneuar was
extravagant. But if there is any
ground for his big hopes it is
in the way the Soviet rulers have
recently been acting. Thev are
doing what Walter Bagehot, writ
ing nearly a century ago, said
must not be done to royalty
not even to Queen Victoria: "We
must not let in daylight upon
magic." For "above all this our
royalty is to be reverenced, and
if we begin to joke about it, we
cannot reverence it."

'Come Home1 Effort
Directed at Russian
Refugees Successful
By CHARLES M. McCANN
United Press Foreign Analyst
A Communist campaign to
lure refugees back to the Iron
Curtain countries from which
they escaped is
meeting with
surprising suc
cess. It does n't
sound right.
We read of the
many men and
women who
risk their lives
to escape from
Soviet Russia
and satellite
Charles McCann countries. But
it is a fact that some of these
people are responding to ap
peals to return to their Red
ruled "homelands."
The "come home" campaign
has been conducted in a small
way for several years, by means
of letters and personal visits
to refugees.
It started to become intensive
at the start of this year when
Russia announced the formation
of a "Committee for the Repa
triation of Soviet Refugees"
with headquarters in East Ber
lin. Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hun
gary, Romania and Bulgaria
have joined in the campaign.
The Chief Targets
The 300,000 persons crowded
into 2,500 refugee camps in
West Germany are the chief tar
gets. Living in enforced idleness,
insecure, unhappy, lonely, they
have nothing to look forward to.
But the intensified campaign
has spread to countries all over
Western Europe and finally to
the United States and Canada.
The Czechoslovak Communist
government advertised in New
York and Washington newspa
pers in June offering pardons
to refugees who returned home.
A similar advertisement was
published only Wednesday by
the Red government of Ro
mania. Refugees were invited
to go home and "integrate them
selves in the construction work
of the Romanian people.
Of course, this constructive
work consists largely in slaving
for the benefit of Soviet Russia.
But that is beside the point.
The Hungarian Red govern
ment has been invited members

to return home.
Things Are Different Now
The Russians are exceedingly
active in Western Germany. Not
only is "come home" propaganda
circulated in the refugee camps
but special agents are visiting
the homes of those who have
obtained jobs and homes. These
agents say that conditions in
Russia are different now that
Stalin is dead and international
tensions are relaxing.
West German authorities are
admittedly anxious over the suc
cess of the Red campaign. They
have started a counter-campaign
in the refugee camps.
"Re-defection is building up,"
an official told a United Press
correspondent in Bonn, the Wes
German capital. "There is no
doubt about it."
The persons who escape Iron
Curtain countries are called de
fectors, and those who return
are called re-defectors.
It is hard to understand why
Russia and its satellites are mak
ing such a strenuous attempt to
get back persons who fled Com
munist rule. One reason is, how
ever, that . the return of each
person is exploited in home
consumption propaganda. Anoth
er is that the presence of refu
gees in foreign countries is
embarrassing to the Kremlin.

Airplane Located
Leadore, Ida. (U.R) A light
plane missing on a flight from
La Grande, Ore., to Idaho was
found here yesterday and an air
search for the craft called off.
The pilot, Edson McCanse, a
rancher from La Grande, Ore.,
had apparently failed to file a
flight plan with the Civil Aero

taking off with his two passen
gers, according to the Baker,
Ore., CAA office.
McCanse left La Grande air
port about 4:30 a.m. after in

When his plane failed to ar
rive, an air search was started
over Idaho lava beds between
Boise and Great Falls. A check
of municipal airports finally lo
