    New Vistas Opened for Beginning of End to East-West Gold Oar
By HENRY SHAPIRO
Moscow - (UPII - A new
era in East-West rela
tions, opening new vistas
ior the beginning of the
end of the cold war, was
launched with Thurs
day's tri-power test ban
agreement.
It was the first major
breakthrough in the cold
war since the Austrian
stale treaty of 1955.
The treaty also
marked a personal tri
umph for President Ken
nedy's trouble shooter,
Under-Secretary of State
W. Averell Harriman,
who by Soviet standards
is an "imperialist" of
the deepest dye.
It would be an over
simplification to suggest
that the representative
of one of America's
"sixty ruling families"
found a way to Premier
N i k i t a Khrushchev's
heart when so many
others have tried and
failed.
Yet Harriman was
able to perform the
double task of persuad
ing skeptical Americans
that the time has come
for an East-West detente
and to prove it by ex
tracting a treaty from
the tough bargaining
Russians within record
time. The five-year log
jam in the Geneva nu
clear negotiations was
broken within 10 days.
By all accounts the
Moscow talks were con
ducted in a thoroughly
businesslike yet cordial
atmosphere which
augurs well for forth
coming series of East
West negotiations lead
ing up to the summit be
fore the end of the year.
What explains the ap
parently sudden change
of heart in the Krem
lin's top leadership?
The new orientation
in Soviet foreign policy
can be plausibly traced
to the Cuban crisis of
last October when Khru
shchev snatched an un
easy peace from the
very jaws of nuclear dis
aster. The Cuban compro
mise precipitated a sav
age attack from the Chi
nese Communists, which
must have been one of
the greatest shocks in
Khrushchev'i troubled
career.
The Sino - Soviet alli
ance has always been un
real and shaky as demon
strated by the one sig
nificant fact that the
Russians never trusted
Peking with nuclear
weapons. Both ideologi
cal conflicts on the in
terpretation of Marxism
and old national clashes
dating back to the Ro
manovs and the Manchu
emperors were bound to
erupt.
But the intensity and
fury of the Chinese at
tacks after Cuba must
have genuinely surprised
the Russians. Although
the rupture in the bloc
appeared a foregone con
clusion as early as last
January, the Russians
appeared for a time to
mark time in their for
eign policy.
By mid-June the die
was cast. On July 2, in
his East Berlin speech,
Khrushchev offered the
first olive branch to the
West when he proposed
a partial nuclear test ban
treaty. By that time Ken
nedy had already warn
ed that this was prob
ably the last year when
a halt to the disastrous
nuclear arms race could
be reached.
Kennedy's June
speech at the American
University in which he
called for reassessment
of relations with Mos-
cow was neither a flash
in the pan nor a fortui
tous accident. '
It followed a long se
ries of confidential ex
changes between him
and Khrushchev which
gave reason to hope that
an East-West rapproche
ment was possible and
in the offing. - .
, The Sino-Soviet con
flict is growing. China
appears to have been
written off entirely as
a factor in Soviet foreign
policy. According to all
indications, the Kremlin
is now on a threshold of
a global peace offensive
and is looking toward
the West for a more re
alistic understanding of
the problems of war,
peace and disarmament,
, than it can expect from
the rampaging Chinese.
