Premier Malenkov has been talk- ing peace since Stalin died. His representative in the United Na- tions, Andrei Y. Vishinsky, got up there last week and declared among other things: The North Atlantic Treaty Or- ganization, the Schuman Plan, the European Defense Community and plans for re-arming West Germany must be abandonec; the atom bomb must be banned at once; the U. S. must stop building up its own arms, The No, 1 trouble with the pro- posals was that they were not new. Vishinsky had tafked the same way while Stalin was alive. What he said showed once again that: The West’s economic and mili- tary buildup is bothering Russia. This probably reveals precisely why Malenkov is talking peace so hard. To slow it down or scuttle it before it gets too tar advanced. In Washington, after three days of conferences among President Eisenhower, West Germany's Chancellor Adenauer, Secretary of State Dulles and other officials. the State Department issued a! statement on where they agreed. | All of it involved Germany but j in it these officials: i Challenged Russia to show its good intentions by letting the East Germans have truly free elections; said they were convinced there can be no lasting solution of the German’ problem unless Germany is reunited peacefully and demo- cratically; agreed West Germany must be rearmed as part of a single European army and that the U. S. would help West Germany rearm. Until this statement the Russians had been ‘drenching Western Eu rope with their peace propaganda without much challenge from the U. S. to get down to cases on what it would do about some of the most important problems. Eisenhower had told a news con- ference he would meet the Rus- sians halfway. And Dulles last week said Russia could show its good heart by agreeing on a peace treaty for Austria. But by throwing Germany at the Russians, since final settlement on Germany is one of the keystones to any real peace, the Eisenhower- Adenauer agreement offset some of the Russian propaganda, There can be no’ better testing ground of Russia's earnestness for peace than Germany, Nevertheless, Chapter 16 WW she got back to the car, and somehow she drove through the fog to the hotel.

But future German statesmen, unless they were Communists, could hardly believe they would be able to deal too closely with Russia without winding up a Rus~ sian satellite. A united Germany, once Russia and the Allies cleared out and if the Germans were able to rearm, might take over the key position in Europe itself by playing off the East against the West. Eisenhower doesn’t seem to fear this. But a united Germany, after its experience with the Russians since the war, might iink itself so close- ly with the West that it would be- ¢ome an_ impassable barrier against any Russian aggression in the future. Eisenhower and Dulles seem con- fident on which side a united Ger- many would be. :|Hindu Wives = s NEW DELHI (#—Mainten- ance suits by wives against hus- bands, once virtually unknown in India, are being filed in a New Dethi court at the rate of two daily.
