3 Showing
Sians of Underions of Differences
WASHINGTON; Sept. 21-—In facing Moscow through the long, wearisome negotiations over the skeleton of Berlin, the three Western powers —France, Britain and the United States—have presented a united front. The reality of that united front has been important in the contest between East and West. While the front has been & fact beyond’ dispute, there have nevertheless been differences of opinion and attitude. These have become
sharper as the duel of nerves with Russia ap-
ches a showdown or something very much e a showdown. Between the lines of the speeches made in the House of Commons in London the other day you could read the story of those differences. And, significantly, the conservative Anthony Eden was in agreement with the Labor Foreign Minister Ernest Bevin. Here was one of those long projections of British policy that rises above party politics.
See Britain as Balance Wheel
EDEN and Bevin said, in effect, that Britain must form the nucleus of a third force that would serve as a balance between the colossus of the USSR on gis hand ana and thé colossus of . the USA on the aturally, * was not put so bluntly, buf that was the import of it. These speeches may have been carefully timed in the aftermath of the trans-Atlantic argument over procedure on the next stage of the Moscow negotiations. That argument betwen London and Washington went on over the élattering tele-com machines that are such a poor substitute for face-to-face and voice-to-voice exchange of ideas.
‘Appeasement’ Heard Again
THE BRITISH reaction produced a gust of irritation in some quarters here. One heard that unhappy word “appeasement.”

Whether the irritation is justified is hard for anyone on the outside to say. American policymakers have seen the immediate future course of the Russian duel in terms of final definitions and a schedule that would be gone through with in spite of any and all risks. The biggest risk is, of course, the risk of war. The British did not see it that way. They have realities of their own, and one of them is the reality of geography. In the 4ast war, Britain came within a hairs’ breadth of destruction, and that is a fact not quickly forgotten. Another reality close at hand for the British is the sad plight of France. The third of the Western powers in the united front cannot find a stable government among bitterly warring political factions. So the British prescription was for more patience and more caution. It is hard to quarrel with that prescription- short of accepting the terrifying logic of the weapons of mass death that science has put into the hands of ignorant, childlike mankind.
Russell Recommended : Attack
SOME BRITISHERS accept this logic. Thus, Bertrand Russell, the distinguished philosopher,
said in a speech in Holland a year ago that the ©
only chance of saving Western civilization lay in attacking Russia within a year and a half before the Russians had the atomic bomb. For the most part, however, the British do not follow that kind of logic. They believe in compromise, in yielding a little under pressure if that is necessary to maintain a final position. Often this has worked in the past. In some instances it has been disastrous. For such an approach, timing is all important. In recent days the note sounded by American policy-makers has emphasized caution and patience. Gen. Lucius Clay in Berlin said that he did not believe war was around the corner.
Marshall Asks Calm Approach
SECRETARY OF STATE George C. Marshall talked to a group of leading publishers and editors whom he had asked to come to Washington for a conference this week. As he has done in public statements, he stressed the need for a calm approach to the East-West contest. Inflammatory talk about the inevitability of war certainly has not helped the negotiators. That kind of talk has made a good sounding board for Soviet propaganda. The East-West contest might conceivably go on for years, with recurring periods when it is acute, The difference between London ‘and Washington is not a basic one. If a showdown comes in spite of all patience and all caution, then the British would be with us. But the profound hope on the other side of the Atlantic is that a little more holding back and a little less arbitrariness may prevent a showdown, and it is hard for the ordinary illogical human being not to share that hope.
