Calculated Risk (Cincinnati Enquirer) The American Govenment's top-echelon decision to stand firm at Berlin and to use force if necessar; lines into the German capita! to maintain its city is most risky step in a long series. But it is a ri vhich has been calculated carefully, we may be certain. It entails the risk of an incident which conceivably could precipitate war. But it involve that risk at a time when we know the Soviet Union is tr g for cheap victories, when it is not looking owdown by force Berlin is stiil the hub of Germany. control of Berlin would give an immense advantage to the Russians. Controlling Berlin and all sur- rounding territory of their zone, the Russians would be able to organize a German Communist party, under some other name, which would spread its tenacles through all the three Western occupation zones. In this sense, an American retreat from Berlin would be something akin to an abandonment of Western Germany. Psycholegically, the evacuation of Berlin by the Western Allies would be a disaster to Europe. It would be a signal to the Scandinavian states, and to Italy and Turkey, for examole, that the Western democracies are pulling out of Europe. It would be their cue to make the best terms they could with Moscow. And the terms would be harsh. We cannot ignore the extreme gravity of this friction at Berlin. But grave though the risk may be, it s not nearly so grave as the alternative risk—which is the risk of a Sovietized European Continent. a combination of the Soviet Union and Communized European n ns would be more than we could match from our resources of man power and productive ca- pacity in the Western Hemisphere. What your government is doing can be stated simply. It is taking a calculated risk of war in the near future—a war we would win ultimately—in order to avoid the far larger and more sinister risk of a different sort of war 10 years from now—a war we possibly could not win. The alternatives may not be quite that bharply defined. All sorts of things can happen. But from what we know of the Nazi threat to the world in the 1930s. it is clear that a firm policy by France and Britain in 1935 would have deflated the world suprem- acy ambitions of Adolf Hitler Our position is not so different now. Replacing Britain and Prance as the primary source of demo- cratic strength, we face a different dictatorship, but also one bent on world power. Firmness now holds a reasonable promise of saving thie world from the utter catastrophe, a decade from now, which is spelled out all toa plainly in the pattern of Soviet expansion for a s ing and U. 8.
