Not Whether-When?
The most. Hismiietiner uiece of news since the
announcement, 10 years ago, that Russia could
make atomic weapons is found in the speculations
of 'Alton Blakeslee, the renowned science expert
of the Associated Press. He says Red China may
now have atomic bombs.
TTp malcps two other
minds us, there is no
Second, he says, The big question is not wnetn
er China will make her own weapons but
when?"
In his informed speculations Mr. Blakeslee
suggests Oct 1 as the day the Chinese could an
nounce they have the bomb. On that day China
will celebrate 10 years of Communist rule. In the
parade reviewing stand that day will be Big
Daddy Khrushchev. The date would be a natural.
PIE existence ; of atomic bombs anywhere
even here is chilling enough. It is more chil
ling when tfie bombs are stacked in countries
we do not regard as friendly. And it is worse
yet if leadership in those countries is unstable.
Americans the past two weeks saw Russia's No.
1 man, a man given to tantrums, to rash state
ments, to hair-trigger action.
In the western world peace is somewhat as
sured because of a cultural respect for human
life. The Russian people, if not the government;
share this western reverence for life. The sure
knowledge on all sides that atomic victory would
be almost as disastrous as atomic defeat may be
the greatest safeguard we have.
.
TTHIS safeguard is less safe in the case of China
.4. where millions die annually of starvation and
disease. While the Chinese probably don't like
the idea of long casualty lists, the idea is not so
sobering to them as it is to us or even to the
Russians.
Now what? Do we blow China off the map
right now? Unlikely and risky to boot.
Do we look down our noses at Chinese tech
nology, viewing the Chinese as we viewed the
Russians before Sputnik, as people who can make
only wheelbarrows? More likely and just as risky.
Do we resign ourselves to living in the shadow
of an atomic cloud and do we let the Communist
Eowers have their way because we fear their
ombs? Unthinkable.
")NE other course remains.
We must learn to see the world as the world
is. These Chinese cannot be ignored. We must
reassess our belief that our refusal to let Chinese
sit at the world peace table is harmful to. the
Chinese. It isn t particularly. But it could be
harmful to us.
The Chinese can stay home and build bombs.
Last week our delegate to the United Nations,
Walter S. Robinson, made a strong case against
admitting" Red China to the U.N. While his argu
ments were good, other countries can advance
other arguments, arguments which will become
more persuasive if it turns out the Chinese have
the bomb.
THE other nations may not relish sitting down
a hnnniTA
niuu cm uuvia w uauuii wiav uao uciia v CLi iiscu
as wretchedly as the Chinese have behaved. But
they may be even more disturbed by the know
ledge that there is upon the earth a nation with
atomic bombs and without the right to sit in on
the deliberations of the
instrranentffor peaceful
Realistically, then, we
session of the bomb would, bring the Chinese
closer to membership m the United Nations.
Of course Alton Blakeslee could be wrong.
Maybe the Chinese don't have the bomb. If they
don't, however, he is only partly wrong. He's still
right when he says it's not a question of whether
but of when. If the big date isn't Oct. 1, it will
be Nov. 1 or a year from Oct. 1 or five years
from Oct 1. Eugene Register-Guard.
Poor Legislation
The current dilemma of the Oregon Highway
Commission with reference to special bonds
authorized by the Oregon Legislature shows con
clusively, I believe, the fallacy of a legislature
trying to act as an administrative agency.
The Legislature, acting under political pres
sures, authorized bonds to build Oregon's share
of a bridge across the Columbia River at Astoria
and to start reconstruction of Highway 42, Win
ston to Coos Bay. The stipulation was made, how
ever, that federal matching funds must be avail
able. The bridge bonds also were made contingent
upon the State of Washington putting up half
the cost
TPHE Highway Commission finds now that if
" to rebuild Highway 42 it matches such federal
funds as are available, no other part of the state
can get highway construction. Yet the commis
sion is besieged by delegations urging roads and
highways for their particular areas roads of
great importance and serving large numbers of
people.
At the same time Oregon Lifesavers Inc. are
pointing to the inadequacy of exisiting highways
and the large number of automobile accidents
because road facilities aren't sufficient for the
traffic they must accommodate.
A legislature yielding to pressures by house
wives and political leaders presents a sorry pic
ture when it attempts to override sound engine
ering, complicated formulas and normal pro
cedures. The legislature, should learn its lesson
from the current situation." Roseburg News

I . Just to set
the stage, the
P r e s i d ent's
feelings about
Jojpb Alsop
the Berlin crisis must be un
derstood. In brief, he has seen
nothing sinister in Khrush
chev's decision to reopen the
question of Berlin. What has
seemed sinister to Eisenhow-er-what
in fact made the Ber
lin crisis into a crisis was
Khrushchev's continuous use
of crude threats, his repeated
mentions of time limits for ac
tion on Berlin, and his gen
eral employment of what may
be called ultimatum diplo
macy. These being the President's
feelings, he at once tackled
Khrushchev on this point at
Camp David. In reply, the So
viet leader overflowed with
reassurances. Khrushchev said
that he had never meant to
use threats. He denied any in
tent to set hard and fast time
limits. He disclaimed any pur
pose in ultimatums. He swore
that all he wanted was peace
able : negotiations aimed at
general agreement on more
normal arrangements for Ber
lin's future.
TITHEN it came time to write
T the Camp David commu
nique, the President naturally
wished these assurances of
Khrushchev's to be reflected
in the published text. The
draft communique did in fact
include some such statement
as the President made at his
press conference. There he
said he and Khrushchev had
agreed that the renewed ne
gotiations on Berlin "should
not be prolonged indefinitely
but there could be no fixed
time limit on them."
Khrushchev sharply protest
ed this passage in the draft.
The argument, carried on be
fore witnesses, was brisk and
prolonged. Khrushchev re
peatedly admitted that the
language proposed for the
communique embodied his
own agreement with the
President. But he kept insist
ing that if this part of the
agreement appeared in the
communique itself, Chancellor
Konrad Adenauer would be
encouraged to drag out the
Berlin talks "for another
twenty-five years."
At length, a novel compro
mise was reached. The Presi
dent was to announce at his
Monday press conference that
"in addition to what the com
munfque said," he; and Khru
shchev had also agreed "there
could be no fixed time limit"
on the negotiations. In Mos
cow, Khrushchev was then to

dition to the Camp David com
munique. By then, it was so
late that the Eisenhower-
Khrushchev party came down
from the mountains at eighty
miles an hour.
".NCE in Washington, the
" State Department mem
bers of the party discovered
that a false assumption had
been made at Camp David. It
had been expected that Khru
shchev would give the prom
ised confirmation to the Presi
dent in his Moscow speech:
but it was suddenly noted that
the Khrushchev speech in
Moscow would actually be de
livered before the President's
press conference had conven
ed. Secretary of State Chris
tian A. Herter therefore asked
Soviet Foreign Minister An
drei Gromyko to make sure
that Khrushchev kept his
promise to the President in a
secondary public statement be
fore he left Moscow for Pe
king. v
If this agreement between
Eisenhower and Khrushchev
really proves enduring (and
the "if is very big indeed),
then the President has at least
made one , big gain at Camp
David. Negotiations with no
fixed time limit clearly
mean negotiations with no
more ultimatums, and no more
brutal threats of Soviet uni
lateral action at Berlin.
AN THE other hand, the
President's gain is plain
ly ' balanced by a gain for
Khrushchev. The President
had quietly abandoned his
former insistence on "prior
justification' for a summit
conference, in the form of
proof of "progress" towards
an acceptable agreement 4 on
ueriin.
. At the President's press con
ference, it seemed that Khru
shchev had made even ereat-
er gains. The President, who
has been much more ill and
weary than most people sup
pose, really seemed to have
added Neville Chamberlain';
umbrella to Stanley Baldwin';
defense budget. The White
House and the State Denarfc.
ment therefore had to swing
into action after the press con
ference was over, explaining
that the President had no in
tentions of sacrificing any of
tne west Berliners" rights, or
any of the Western rights in
Berlin.
To judge this point, howev
er, it is wise to wait for the
summit meeting which now
seems inevitable. Even after
fullest allowances are made
for the effects of the Presi
dent's cold and his weariness,
it certainly sounded as though
he were the one who was
showing "give" on the Berlin
issue.

Five-Year
Finding Way to Meeting Table
By PHIL NEWSOM
UPI Foreign Editor
The five-year Algerian War,
written in the blood of French
settlers, soldiers and rebel Al
gerians alike, is not finding it
easy to find its way to the
pen and ink of the conference
table.
French - President Charles
de Gaulle's offer of self-deter
mination for Alegria within
four years after peace prob
ably is as far as any French
politician dare go.
To readers outside France,
the reply of the Algerian reb
els to his offer seemed mild,
especially so in view of the
savage attack against De
Gaulle.delivered in the United
Nations by a representative
of the Arabian people, the
delegate from Saudi Arabia.
But it is apparent that, de
spite the restraint demon
strated both by De Gaulle's
offer and by the rebel reply,
much blood stul wul flow be
fore the billion-dollar-a-year
Algerian revolt is settled.

Today & Tomorrow
By Walter
ROUND ONE
The first round being con
cluded, one can say, I think,
that the President's initiative
has prospered.
His -'main pur
pose in pro
posing the ex
change of vis
its was to re
open the clog
ged and frozen
channels o f
d i p 1 o m atic
o n m m uniea-
Lippmann tion between
the Western alliance and the
Soviet Union. This he has
done, and this is the meaning
and the significance of the
conversations at Camp David.
There are to be exchanges
through normal diplomatic
channels. When our allies
have been consulted about the
place, the time, and the agen
da, there will be a Foreign
Ministers' meeting and a sum
mit meeting. There are. to be
continuing multi-lateral nego
tiations about nuclear testing
and about disarmament. There
are to be bi-lateral negotia
tions about cultural exchang
es and also about a settlement
of the lend-lease debts. And
beyond aU these, . there is to
be in the spring a visit by the
President and his family to the
Soviet Union. . .
This much Is on the record
How far there was a meeting
of minds off the record on
the specific; issues, we do not
now know. But Mr. K. in his
press conference on Sunday
implied that there had. been
more understandings than the
official communique reveals.
This is in a way confirmed by
the fact that the President has
aereed to an elaborate and
extended series of negotia
tions, something he would not
have done had tne taiss at
Camp David become irrecon
cilably deadlocked.
I can see now that I had
failed to realize how mighty
are the compulsions which are
working on both the President
and on Mr. K. They are com
pulsions to find ways by
which, as - the communique
said, "all outstanding inter
national questions" can "be
settled not by the application
of force but by peaceful means
through negotiations." For
neither of the heads of gov
ernments is there, to use the
memorable sentence spoken
by Mr. Eisenhower some years
ago, "any alternative to
peace." ;
,
THE SOURCE of these com
pulsions is the race of arm
aments. As between the U. S.
S. R. and the U. S. A. there
exists a balance of power in
the sense that any war, how
ever "limited" it might be
when it began, would threat
en to become a total war. Each
of the two governments is able
to inflict intolerable and un
acceptable losses upon the oth
er's country, and neither could
"win" a war which caused
such widespread, such long
lasting, and such irreparable
devastation. Although the bal
ance of power may fluctuate,
there is at present no prospect
whatever of the kind of scientific-
breakthrough which
would give one or the other of
the governments a safe and re
liable supremacy.
This exerts a mighty com
pulsion upon them to respect
the status quo, whether it be
that of the Western presence
in West Berlin or that of the
Soviet presence in Eastern Eu
rope. The agreement to open
up a series of negotiations
rests upon the applied assump
tion that while diplomacy can
not change importantly the
status quo, it can make it
more acceptable and more vi
able.
TN BOTH governments the
A compulsion to attempt to do
this springs from two great
considerations.
I
Algerian War Is Not
strengths and weaknesses on
both sides.
De Gaulle's offer of self de
termination preduded any po
litical negotiations with the
rebel government - in - exile
headed by Ferhat Abbas.
It did permit military ne
gotiations for a cease-fire. Yet
in rebel eyes, to prohibit po
litical negotiations would be
only to deprive them of their
arms while leaving all the
trumps in French hands.J :
The French take the view
that the rebels are a minority
without the right to speak-for
the majority of Algerians, yet
the rebels represent the only
organized group in Algeria
and without , them it would
seem impossible to negotiate
a political settlement. . .
Sahara Not Included . '
De Gaulle's offer made it
clear that the vast Sahara
would not be included in the
deal. But he. did offer a par
tition arrangement whereby
those of opposing views could
be partitioned. The rebels'
reply said they never would
Lippmann
The first consideration,
which is widely recognized, is
that the cost of armaments,
forty billions here and twenty
five billions in the Soviet Un
ion, is a very heavy mortgage
on social and economic devel
opment. One of the most in
teresting little disdosures
made by Mr. K. was his per
sonal impatience with the bur
dens of his own military es-
I tablishment. ,
Mr. Eisenhower is very con
scious indeed of what it means
to spend forty billions a year.
And undoubtedly he is aware
of the fact that after the tax
reduction made by his Admin
istration, the pressure on the
budget from the Pentagon on
the one hand, from the civil
needs of , our: people on the
other, constitute a permanent
threat of inflation. Moreover,
the pressure on the dollar,
which is no joke, comes in
some part from our enormous
military . expenditures abroad
both for our allies and for our
selves. One high European au
thority estimates them at ten
billions annually, which is
about half of our gold reserve.
But there is a second con
sideration which exerts great
compulsion -on the heads of
governments. It is that if the
situation does not get better,
it will get much worse. If the
race of armaments cannot be
brought at least to a standstill,
if not to some reduction of
armaments, it will mean ihat
the international climate is
very dangerous. This will
mean that both governments
must quicken their pace, and
spend increasingly larger
amounts of money.
The race today is a heavy
burden. But if we cannot
reach a truce in the cold war,
the race must become faster
and the burden heavier. For
the Russians this will mean a
slow-down in their develop
ment. For us it will mean a
new big tax bite taken out of
private enterprise and out of
private consumption.
With these- compulsions
working upon them, the Presi
dent and Mr. K. have staked
so much on these exchanges
that they cannot afford to let
them fail.

WHY DID HATFIELD
CHANGE HIS MIND?
Oregon's Committee on
Natural Resources, headed by
Gov. Mark Hatfield as chair
man, the work of which is.
largely performed by an ex

by the Governor, has voted to
oppose the proposal for a na-.
tional area in the Flnrenr.
Reedsport area.
In its only meeting on the
subject, the committee heard
the Hatfield-appointed execu
tive secretary, Dan Allen,
former Eugene laundryman,
speak against the proposal.
No other side was presented,'
as far as can be learned. The
committee then voted "unani
mously" against the idea,
when some of its members'
were known to favor it.
This is not particularly sur
prising. One of the heads of
the Western Lane Taxpayer's
Association was indicating
three weeks or so ago that
this would happen. " .' ".
