we're benig to get (.news.
One of them tellsjtij this morning
that the (ghting irj Budapest

persons, he saysjhaveejready
been killed in the capital Lcity

That's V2R-JaD just mere
ready to examine with the other
Socialist countries which a are
participants in the Warsaw
Treaty the question of the Soviet
troops stationed on the territory
of-, the above-mentioned coun
tries" (Poland, Hungary and Ro
mania) the statement says.
? It adds that "the stationing
of troops of one member state
of the Warsaw Treaty, on the
territory of another member
state:- of the" Warsaw Treaty
takes place on the basis of .an
agreement between all Its par
ticipants and not only with the
agreement of that state on the
territory of which, at its re
quest, c these troops are sta
tioned . : ." ' "
C Ail of Russia's seven satellites,
including East Germany, - are
members of the " Warsaw Alli
ance framed as a retort to the
Allied North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
There is- no doubt that Po
land and Hungary want Russian
troops to get out. The East Ger
man puppet government does
not, of course.
Soviet Offer Gees Tar
Suppose Russia summoned a
meeting of the Warsaw Alliance
countries and some of-them de
manded that Russia keep .its
troops where they are? Would
Russia earnestly try to talk
them out of that stand, or would
it reluctantly agree that the time
for evacuation has not come?
However, the Soviet offer
goes farther than the military
sphere. It provides for a re
examination of Russia's econom
ic relations with the .satellites.
In this connection, the Soviet
government mentioned the-20th
congress of the Russian Commu
nist Party last February, at
which Nikita S. Khrushchev
made his astonishing denuncia
tion of Josef Stalin and paved
the way for the purge of Tito
ism the demand for independ
ent Communism- which has
swept over Eastern Europe.
Thus, it may be repeated,
whatever the exact motive the
Soviet government has in mak
ing its offer atthisttime, it cer

TF OUR true interest is that
Eastern Europe, and particu
larly the' key country of Poland,
should become independent, re
gain national liberty, but should
not actually break irreparably
with the Soviet Union, then
there are two main lines of poli
cy which we should take. The
one line is by diplomatic meas
ures to convince, the Russians
that the security will not" be
threatened by an independent
Poland. 'It may be -that m this
connection the discussion of a
general European security pact
ought" to be renewed.
The other line o, policy is to
make available to Poland, not
only from this country but from
Western Europe as well, enough
economic" assistance to see Po
land through the crisis of read
justment which lies ahead. Po
land will be emerging from its
status as:a Soviet colony, and
this will involve a difficult read
justment. We ought to give much
thought net only to what eco
nomic aid rwi!1 be needed but
also to the question of how it
will be given, whether by us
directly or by some kind of-inter-national
agency. o

dissolution of the international
structure of the post-war world

peace settlement, left the world

Matter of Fact
By Jee and Stewart Alsop
FAILURE OF A POLICY
Washington As this is writ
ten, it is not yet clear whether
Israel's invasion of Egypt will
lead to a full
scale war in
the Middle
East, which
could become
a much bigger
war. What is
crystal clear is
that American
policy in the
Eastern crisis
.-Uioj has been a dis
mal and desperate failure.
It has been a failure because
it has been based on a simple
miscalculation. Secretary of
State John. Foster Dulles obvi
ously concluded, after Egypt;s
Colonel Carnal Abdel Nasser
seized the Suez Canal Company,
that anything, including a major
triumph for the violently anti-
Western Colonel Nasser, would
be better than a shooting war in
the Middle East. .
He further reasoned that war
could be prevented if only the
British and French could be held
back from? rwyrTP
using force 1 A . s V
against Egypt.
He therefore
bent all his ef
forts to ' that
end. But in so
doing, he over
looked another
and vital ele
m e n t in the
equation.

increase the number of kits in

arms deal with Egypt, the - acti
vist"'; group in Israel most seri
ously considered "preventive ac
tion" against the Nasser regime.
Israel's Prime Minister David
Ben Gurion's government was
only dissuaded from taking such
action by strong pressure from
the American 'Government, the
promise of an American loan,
and the persuasions-of then For
eign .Minister Moshe Sharrett
and Israel's Ambassador to
Washington Abba Eban.
But Nasser's seizure of - the
canal again basically altered the
situation in Israeli eyes.o For
Nasser's action was a direct and
open challenge to the great pow
ers of the West. If Nasser were
permitted to get away with his
challenge, the Israeli reasoned,
then nothing could "stop him
from achieving his stated ambi
tion to destroy Israel nothing,
that is, except prior action by
Israel, o
-, This is not :hindsight on the
part of these reporters. Immedi
ately after "Nasser's seizure of
the canal, we wrote that "The
Israeli count Nasser their most
formidable enemy. If Nasser
now triumphantly c defies the.
power of Britain -and America,
they will conclude that Israel is
next on the list. The Israeli may
then take 'preventive action'
which could spark a Middle
Eastern or even a general war."
o - o ? .
YET this Clear danger was
generally disregarded 0in the
Dulles, State Department. In
stead, Secretary, Dulles devoted
all his very considerable powers
of persuasion and maneuver to
preventing, the1' British and
French from taking forceful ac
tion against 'Nasser. S o
0 It was a brilliant "operation in
its way. The British and French,
especially the British, desper
ately wanted A,merican support
in any move to cut Nasser down
ta size. Nor were3 they eager for
bloodshed. In this situation.
Dulles adopted a series of de
laying actions, seeming to prom
ise effective American support
for strong o attion, and then
drawing back.
Thus, the British and French
were repeatedly" pulled back,
when they had almost reached
the decision to use force or the--
threat of force against Nasser.
Frorrtthe beginning, force or the
threat of force constituted the
onlyj effective sanction in oegoti-
atingowith the Egyptian dictator.
So by last week it was already
clear to all, including the Israi,
that Nasser wouldi succeed in
defying the power of the West.
rWAS in this situation that
Ben Gurion, no doubt with
arf eye on the American elec
tions, ' and quite possibly with
some secret encouragement from
the French and the'British, de
cided to struke. Late last week,
hard intelligence of Ben Gur
ion's decision was obtained by
the intelligence services, ad

Department, where it caused
REPUBLICAN STATEMENT
"It s never 'time for a change'
unless what you've got is pretty
bad and what you're likely tu
get from a change promises to be
a lot better." So states the Sat
urday Evening Post in an edi
torial in its Nov. 3 issue. Because
the Eisenhower record shows a
period of unprecedented sound
ness of government it obviously
would be 'foolhardy to change at
this time.
Make no mistake about it, the
story of the accomplishments of
the Republican administration
under President Eisenhower is
one of the finest ever recorded
for a four-year period. His rec
ord is one of peace, progress and
prosperity, o
On the other hand, Mr. Steven-,
son's candidacy is c difficult to
clothe with more significance
than it enjoyed in 1952. What is
there new about , him? Once
again he is running on the Fair
Deal platform. He is malting
straight-out political appeals to
minority groups. He is using the
big stick against business. He is
promising more and more money
out of the Federal till with no
suggestion as to where it is com
ing from. In fact, there is hard
ly a plank of the old Fair Deal
program that Mr. Stevenson has
omitted.
One would suppose that he is
too intelligent a man to believe
that he can spend as prodigally
as he promisesJo spend and still
avoid both lies r taxes or more
inflation, which he also promises
to avoid. And surely Mr. Steven
son himself can see the illogic of
criticizing the Administration
for letting our military strength
deteriorate while at the same
time proposing that the U. S.
halt both H-bomb tests and the
draft.
o Mr. Stevenson represents .his
proposal to discontinue H-bomb
tests as a foolproof step toward
controlled disarmament, but it
seems clear, from the detailed
analysis published by the Presi
dent that there are several weak
nesses in his assumptions.
In view of the swift advance
of theoretical and practical
knowledge in the nuclear field,
fit is clear that the United States,
by foregoing these tests, would
lose ground alarmingly fast un
less there could be absolute as
surance that" all other countries,
especially the Soviet Union,
were observing -a similar stand
still agreement. But this absolute
assurance is just what could not
be obtained. The list of Soviet
broken promises is a long one;
the Soviet government has de
nounced or violated more inter
national agreements than it has
kept.
" This again only proves Presi
dent Eisenhower to be the wiser
man. He rests his argument
against, the Stevenson proposal
on his statement: "There is noth
ing in postwar history to justify
the belief that we should or
that'we could even dare' ac
cept anything less0 than sound
safeguards and controls for any
disarmament arrangements."
00 We now have peace, although
it uQ an uneasy one. And we
agree with the Saturday Even
ing Post. This is not the time for
a change. " - 0
