THURSDAY, APRIL 5, 1951. European Tension Eases, Says Consul Says Europe Was Surprised At U,S.’s Entry Into Korean War At Fast Pace By EDWARD H. sIMs, Washington Corespondent of the Key West Citizen WASHINGTON, D. C. — The American Consul in Geneva, Ed Ward, back in the States for sev- eral days, says the Swiss are less fearful of a war this year than many Americans. Asked if the Swiss, who are noted barometers of political events in Europe, ex pect a Russian invasion of We: ern Germany this year. Ward re- plied with a flat, “No.” “They don’t expect a war to, break out this year. In May, 1950, | @ good many of them thought war was just around the corner then.” (The Communists in east- ern Germany staged a big May Day rally in Berlin | last May| and threatened to march into western sectors of Berlin at the | time. But British and American’ authorjties met the threat by mounting machine guns and big ger guns along the threatened boundaries’ The Reds didn’t march through them). _ Ward says the Swiss are work- ing hard to preserve their neu- trality again in any future war, but the situation may be dif ferent this time. “Unlike the situ- ation in the two previous world wars, when Germany was the en- emy,- and when many Swiss ‘vere sympathetic to the Ger- mans for family reasons, the Russian mefiace finds little warmth in Switzerland today. “If we get into a war with Russia, Switzerland might not be able to stay out this time, and if not, they are with us almost to a man,” Ward says. “But right now they don’t expect a war. United States prestige is easily traced the world over in Switzer land—the crossroads of Europe. At the moment, it is up. It was way down when we took a lick- ing in Korea in November. That’s an interesting thing. What we say and what our leaders say is important but that doesn’t im pres$ anyone in Geneva. It's wha’ we do, and what the government, or military does, that makes an impression on the foreigners.” Ward recalled how our entry into the Korean war brought a sudden upsurge in U. S. prestige. “They seemed to be surprised that a Democracy was really go: ing into such fast action, in a far away country, for the cause of freedom,” he said.
