Something very important had left off in his previous
has happened to c h a n e e , meetings with the Western
Khrushchev's views about the
summit, between his prelimi
nary explosion at the meeting
of the Supreme Soviet on May
5th and his final explosion at
the opening of the summit con
ference here. The chronology
clearly proves that a radical
change of approach occurred.
The dates, so to say, speak for
themselves as follows:
...
fX May 1, the U-2 that is
" the alleged sole cause of
the final explosion came down
near Sverdlovsk.
On May 3, 48 hours after
the fall of the U-2, critically
important concessioins were
offered to the Western nego
tiators at Geneva by Semyon
Tsarapkin, the Soviet repre
sentative at the conference
dealing with a ban on nuclear
tests. j
On May 3 or 4. the chief of
the Soviet Air Force, Marshal
Konstantin Vershinin, also
confirmed his intention to
visit the United States.
On May 5, Khrushchev
made his first revelation of
the fall of the U-2. In this
speech, he carefully Inserted
what amounted to a scries of
escape clauses for the Ameri
can government. These took
the form of statements that

'PHIS chronology makes it
almost certain that at
least tor tne tirst several days
leaders. Vershinin's behavior;
the important move made by
Tsarapkin: the escape clauses
offered to Eisenhower by
Khrushchev himself all con
stitute very strong evidence.
This evidence, pointing to a
continuing intention to nego
tiate at the summit, first of
all casts doubt on the theory
that Khrushchev had already
changed his mind about a sub
mit meeting's usefulness at
all.
The speech on Berlin by
Under Secretary of State- C.
Douglas Dillon, and all the
other indications that the
West was not in a "giving"
mood, dated from long before
May 5. They undoubtedly
provoked Khrushchev's
threatening speech at Baku,
that speech said Khrushchev
would talk tough at the sum
mit. But he certainly con
tinued to want to talk.
Turning again to the post
May 5 chronology, the most
conspicuous developments of
this period were the series of
statements in Washington
which knocked all of Khru
shchev's offered escape claus
es into the next county. In
particular, the President
briskly claimed both knowl

Why "did Mr. K do what he
did at Paris?
1WE impression prevails
.nlu that V.a im l.oirinr
i troubles of his own at home.
I The London Daily Express
! puts it this way:
I "The most likely explana
tion is that Khrushchev's pow
er in Russia is waning stead
ily." WILLI
" the
HLLIAM L. RYAN, one of
A.P.'s top foreign
news analysts, puts the same
thought in greater detail. He
says in a dispatch from Paris:
"Nikita Khrushchev's per
formance at the summit meet
ing that failed to get off the
ground indicates he is en
gaged in a struggle to main
tain his claims to lead world
communism.
"Unless he got an apology
from the President of the
United States, he insisted, he
COULDN'T NEGOTIATE
with the U.S. President. This,
he added in an aside, was a
matter involving the INTER
NAL POLITICS of the Soviet
Union."
THAT is to say:
He sounded like he was
apologizing for having to do
something he didn't want to
do but HAD TO DO to save
his own skin.
f R. RYAN goes on:
HI
"The implication is that
Khrushchev is engaged in a
threesided struggle with (1)
the Stalinists, (2) the Russian
military and (3) the Chinese
communists, who have been
nagging him for what appear
to them to be RECKLESS AD
VENTURES in peace mak
ing." Ryan adds in his dispatch:
"The Soviet boss (Mr. K)
has been required to kick
overboard all he has built
with great care over the past
three years. Apparently, in
the Stalinist and Red Chinese
view, his peace gestures went
'. much too far and threatened
I communism as a constantly
moving, dynamic force."
; IMPORTANT domestic news:
Four top Democrats
Speaker of the House Ray
i burn, Democratic leader of
the Senate Lyndon Johnson,
Adlai E. Stevenson, Democrat
ic Presidential Nominee in
1952 and 1956, and Senator
William Fulbright, chairman
of the senate foreign relations
committee back President
Eisenhower's stand at Paris.
In doing so, they follow an
for the U-2 overflight. And it
was even officially intimated
that overflights were a good
thing which ought to be con
tinued.
In sum, Washington fol
lowed the rules long ago laid
down by the President's Press
Secretary, James Hagcrty,
that the useful reply, "no
comment," is no longer per
missible, and that the Presi
dent can never be portrayed
as Ignorant of any doings in
the government. It seems
pretty clear that Washing
ton's rigid adherence to the
Hagerty rules, laid down for
domestic political reasons, in
turn put Khrushchev in a do
mestic political situation re
quiring an explosion that has
now occurred.
IT IS obviously wrong to
think about Khrushchev's
domestic political situation in
terms of an "opposition" and
an "administration part y."
But every government in the
world is divided into the
orthodox and the imaginative
the cautious and the bold, the
conservative and the experi
mental groups. Pretty plain
ly, the orthodox, cautious,
and conservative men in the
Kremlin, no doubt with the
somewhat discontented army
chiefs in the lead, were
sharply insisting that an is
sue must be made of the U-2
overflight, as soon as proof of
the overflight was in the
Kremlin's hands.
The issue was made, but
wth escape clauses. One can
imagine the clamor, the "we
told you so" 's, the parade of
indignation of this orthodox
group when Washington
dealt as it did deal with all
the escape clauses which
Khrushchev had offered.
Quite possibly, Khrushchev
himself felt unable to defy
the Kremlin consensus. More
probably, he did not wish to
do so.
The Baku speech had
clearly indicated that there
would be hot arguments at
te summit. The new Kremlin
consensus called for no sum
mit at all. The new decision
of the Presidium was tele
graphed ahead, though few
understood the message, by
Marshal Vershinin's sudden
abandonment of his Ameri
can visit. And Khrushchev
came to Paris with a prepared
brief drafted with the sped
, fic purpose of blowing the
summit conference higher
than a kite before it began,

and as
we recover from the shock,
the long work of rebuilding
will have to
begin. Where
must it begin?
It must begin
at the point
w h e r the
most critical
damage has
been done.
Where is
tl.t nninl1) It
Walter .' , "
Unprnann is not in what
Mr. Khrushchev said or did
to us. It is in what we did
to ourselves. It is that we
"first did help to wound our
selves." The wound has been made
by the scries of blunders on
the gravest matters in the
highest quarters. These blun
ders have not only angered
the Russians and wrecked
the summit conference but,
much worse than all that,
they have cast doubt among
our allies and among our
own people on our compe
tence to lead the Western
alliance on the issues of peace
and war.
Mr. Khrushchev's harsh and
intemperate language has pro
duced a reaction and evoked
sympathy for the plight of the
President. But we must have
no illusions about the depth
and the extent of the loss of
confidence in American lead
ership, in the judgment, sa
gacity, and political compe
tence of the government in
Washington.
HpHIS is the damage to which
- we must address ourselves.
We are a free people, and
one of the blessings of a free
society is that, unlike an un-
free society, it provides a way
to deal with error and cor
rect mistakes. This is to in
vestigate, to criticize, to de
bate, and then to demonstrate
to the people and to the world
that the lessons of the fiasco
have been learned and will
be applied.
In a situation like ours the
damage to our prestige would
be irreparable if we all ral
lied around the President
and pretended to think that
there was nothing seriously
wrong. For that would prove
to the world that the blunders
will not be corrected but will
be continued, and that our
whole people are satisfied
with bad government.
It is the dissenters and the
critics and the opposition
who can restore the world's
respect for American compe
tence. We cannot do this by
pretending that the Incompe
tence does not exist.
THESE are hard words. But
in what other words shall
ancient and very sound prin
ciple: THERE CAN BE NO POLI
TICS IN FOREIGN AFFAIRS.
IMPORTANT foreign news:
President Eisenhower,
after widespread criticism for
the handling of the spy plane
incident, came out of the
Paris debacle with EN
HANCED PRESTIGE!
The London Daily Express,
often a critic of American
foreign policy, says today:
"Ike has behaved with
splendid dignity."
IN OTHER words:
Instead of splitting the
Western Alliance, as he of
course hoped to do, Mr. K
welded it together more
tightly.
ONE more question:
Will Russia start nucle
ar war?
The likely answer:
Not as long as it remains
probable that if she docs
bombers from our worldwide
ring of bases will DESTROY
RUSSIA.

we describe the performance
on Sunday nieht when the
Secretary of Defense, who is
in Paris as one of the Presi
dent's advisors, ordered a
worldwide alert of American
combat forces? On Sunday
night Mr. Macmillan and
Gen. de Gaulle were still
struggling lu find some
way out of the affair of the
spy plane. Yet this was the
time chosen by the Secretary
of Defense to "stage a world
wide readiness exercise'
which, though not the last
strgc before actual war, is
one of the preliminary stages
to it.
Why Sunday of all days?
This blunder was not the
work of some forgotten Colo
nel on a Turkish air field.
This was the work of the Sec
retary of Defense and of the
President. The timing of the
"exercise" was just a shade
worse than sending off the
U-2 on its perilous mission
two weeks before the sum
mit. The timing of the so-called
exercise makes no sense
whatever. For if the alert
was concerned with a possible
surprise attack, when in the
name of common sense could
there be less danger of a sur
prise attack on the Western
world than when Mr. K. in
person was in Paris?
Unhappily, too. Secretary
Gate's "exercise" was just
about as incompetently ad
ministered at the top as was
the affair of the spy plane.
This time, it appears, the top
people forgot to say anything
about the "exercise" to their
press oriicvrs who did not
know what to say, and were
not even in their offices,
when the public was being
frightened by the "exercise."
.
great government faced
with a most formidable
adversary, itself the leader,
champion, and mainstay of
the non-Communist world.
cannot be conducted in such
a feckless and haphazard
way. That is the damage that
first must be repaired before
we can begin to deal with
the general international
wreckage, and to regain our
confidence in ourselves.
