JE | The World Today By JAMES MARLOW ~ WASHINGTON (#—President Ei- senhower and’ Secretary of State Dulles have finally expressed bluntly what has been an attitude among many people in this coun- try for a good while: That if West- ern Europe wants American help it had better do more about help- ing itself. Western Europe, and France in tired old man. He likes to doze and would rather not-hear the feet creeping along the hallway al- though he’s still capable, under the spur of final fright, of jumping up and barring the door if he hears an unwelcome knock. Frightened Western Europe got anxious and busy about arming when the Communists took over Czechoslovakia and then when they began the war in Korea. They couldn’t help but think: Are we next? France, West Germany, Italy, Belgium, The Netherlands and Luxembourg, under American Prodding, agreed among them- selves, for their cwn protection, to set up what they called the Eu- ropean Defense Community. It was a fine burst of -energy. They agreed, or their statesmen jdid, that they should have a single By Lee Falk and Phil Davis European army. But that was just 1 n Murphy the statesmen agreeing. It couldn't be final, and ‘he army couldn’t be created, unless the parliaments of each country approved. So far not one parliament has approved. When the Korean War dragged on, the Russians didn’t attack, and the Communists no- where took over more territory, |the French and West Germans be- gan to quarrel at home about hav- ing a united army. The French have reason to be concerned about the Germans who overran them three times in less than 100 years. They dread seeing Germans under arms again, al- though West Germany’s Chancellor Adenater says a single army is the only solution and he himself particular, has been acting like : would remember.

You will have a drink?” he said coaxingly. “It is a long steep pull up from the village, and so-hot tonight. Almost one wishes the mistral would blow. What would you like?” “I don’t think...” “Ah, no... do not refuse; please do-not be cross because I cannot remember.” Marian smiled, and something within her eased. She was looking at Mario again, and her heart was not racing. She was talking to him, and she was quite calm. And yet he still had ie power to charm her. Now, knowing he had made a faux pas, and trying smilingly to talk him- self. out of it, he was quite de- lightful. Marian laughed. She could not help it; it was what he was trying to make her do. And the sound of her own laughter, natural and unforced and amused, was such a strange sound that for a moment she was confused. “Ah,” he said _delightedly, “that is better. Now, Signora. will you ‘have pity on me, and tell me who you are?” Marian ‘hesitated for a long moment, and then she said quiet- ly, “Of course I will Signor Car- lotti,.I am Marian Grainger.

But the French factions have been arguing among themselves, So have the West Germans. In both countries there is some oppo- sition to the EDC plan as approved by the statesmen, or to such a sin- gle army at all. France acted iike a tired old man before World War II. So did the rest of Western Europe, where the menace of Hitler was plain enough, but the people couldn’t manage to set up a wall against him.

Dulles has been in Europe all week, trying to u-ge Western Eu- rope into fuller realization that if it can’t find the way to work to- gether for the common defense they have no right to expect this country to keep on shelling out help. So far, of course, Dulles has been in a favorable position. He gave the Western Europeans about 75 days to make up their minds.

But the question still to be an- swered is this: Suppose the French and West Germans don’t do any more about forming the single army than they’ve done so far. Then what is this. country going to do? The United States needs allies as a bulwark against any sudden Rus- sian moves and Western ‘Europe can provide this country with air bases fairly close to Russia. The Europeans know that, too.

TT IS NICE that her mother is here.” xy “Can a man be in love with two women at a time?” she said in-her soft, deep. voice. Something al the voice seemed to open a vein of mem- ory, for the yellowy-brown eyes, with their very round pupils, so much more like a falcon’s than a man’s suddenly searched her face with swift concentration. She said painfully, “Mario—Marian. We used to laugh at it, do you re- member?” He pressed his fore- head. “Ah, yes, I begin to remember,” he said. “A minute. In Florence?” He looked at her again, “And you were not going to tell me?” She shook her head. “I. came here to tell you.” She paused. and said, “Why -didn’t..you come back?” “Signora, you will not forgive me perhaps but we are,old enough not to lie.

So I made the quarrel. I thought, then it would ‘not be so bad for you. It would be a real reason. You would be sad, but you would forget. You did not forget?” She looked at him, shook -her head, and her hand went up te. hide her mouth, Suddenly she did not know whether to laugh or_cry. Mario said shrewdly, “You are very glad, Marian, that I don’t love you after all? That I've not spent my iife eating my heart out for a lost love?” 2 She flushed, bit her lip, laughed, and said, “You have made me see how absurd I was.” “Ah, to laugh at oneself, that is the biggest thing of all.” Marian said hurriedly, “Well, I must go.” “But no,” he protested. “Stay and see Anthea . . . she will be here shortly; we have to work... and then I will drive you back to Cannes.” “Thank you, but I have a car waiting for me, down by the ho- tel. But I will stay anc see An- thea, for I think I shall start back for England in the morning.” “Here is Anthea now, coming through the gate.” For a moment. Anthea did not recognize her.mother, for Marian was the last person on earth she expected to see. Then her heart leapt with delight, and she ran forward, her arms outstretched, and it was not until she stood, hugging and kissing Marian, and being hugged and kissed in re« turn, that her surprise changed to a different sort-of surprise at the unaccustomed warmth of her mother’s greeting. “You're as brown as an Indi- an,” she an ees have Tecognized you.
