Germany Holds Master Key
To Euroge's 1952 Prospects
BY PETER EDSON
NEA Washington Correspondent
WASHINGTON.—(AP)—There is an cld super
stition in Europe that the odd years are good years,
the even bad years. Certainiy European crops were
better in 1951 than the year before. And more pro=-
gress was made towards European economic re
covery, defense against communism and political
stability.
The outlook for 1952 is not, however, generally
held to be bad by European experts. Key to the
whole situation is Germany. And on everything
except the unification of the western Federal Re
public of Germany with the Soviet zone of east
Germany, American officials are of the opinion
that nrany of the outstanding German problems
may be settled within the next six months.
There are two main problems. First is agreement
on the European army idea so strongly backed by
General Dwight Eisenhower. This is now believed
so near solution that it can be ratified by the North
Atlantic Treaty Organization Council meeting in
Lisbon, Portugal, beginning February 2.
Second major task is completion and ratification
of the mew “contractural relationship” between
western Germany and the United States, Britain
and France. For all practical purposes this amounts
to the conclusion of a peace treaty with the Federal
Republic of Germany,
~ Terms of this peace contract are now being nego
tiated in Paris by representatives of the four coun
tries in what is known as the “umbrella agree
ment.” If the drafts are completed early in 1952,
final approval of all four governments is hoped for
by June, That is the target date, at any rate.
SOME TAKE OPTIMISTIC VIEW
Obstacles to these two major achievements are
now considered so much in the natyre of routine
details that there is little doubt about their satis
factory solution. In fact, some American officials
are now so optimistic over the outcome that they
regard the much larger Federation of western Eu
rope—intended to follow the new contractural rela
ionship with Germany-—as being in existence and
in progress right now.
The remarkable thing about this is that Gernmrany
and France liné up in closer agreement than any of
the other western European powers. German gove
ernment officials led by Chancellor Konrad Aden
auer are all for the European Federation. The
French appear so disturbed by any alternative plans
that they support the Federation, Italy is for it.
Britain seems to be supporting the idea, though not
joining it.
First steps towards the political Federation of
: western Europe is to secure agreement on the Euro
. pean army. The problem here is not just how to
. organize divisions and command. It involves the
- larger issues of how this European army is to be
used.
i Will the half-dozen countries in the Federation
. agree to go so war or not tc ge te waron 2 maiority
. vote? How will procurement of arms for the Euro
pean army be handled by a central office, with
' authority to place contracts where most advan
' tageous? How can the Federation member govern=
ments be committed in advance to provide the nec
' essary funds for a common European military
budget?
Belgium, The Netherlands and Luxembourg, with
somrewhat higher living standards and higher pay
_ for their armed services, are now holding back on
_ full surrender of their national authority over their
troops. But they are having a hard time explaining
their position to the other governments.
SCHUMAN PLAN RATIFICATION
POINTS THE WAY
. The foreign ministers of the western European
4_ countries have been meeting in Paris over the holi
* days to try to iron out their differences of opinion.
© If they succeed by January 15 or 20, there is hope
“a{:thnt agreement on the European army can be rati
_+ fied by the NATO council in Lisbon in February.
'\ This will by no means put the European army in
. being. The plan must first be ratified by parlia
%;'_ments of the six governments.
' But the fact that the Schuman plan for integra
' tion of western European coal and steel production
- was ratified by the French Parlianrent, 377 to 233,
%h taken as an indication that the European army
" plan will also be ratified by France. The Schuman
_i plan goes before the west German Bundestag Jan
_ uary 9. Present expectations are that it will be rati
_ fied by from 40 to 100 votes. This will indicate how
“ Germany may vote on the European army plan.
Let us rid ourselves of the Marxist conception
that, in the free world, the only relations between
naticns can be those of expioiters and exploited.—
Cir Gladwyn Jebb, chief British delegate to UN.
If you can keep your head while others are losing
theirs—maybe you do not understand the situation.
~--Rep. George H. Bender (8.-Ohio).
Population-vs.-Food Problem
Should Concern Whole World
The free world and the Communist realm are
battling on many fronts, Listening to utterances
from leaders on both sides, you would almost inevi
tably conclude that the issues between them are
deep and basic. To a very substantial degree they
are, but there are also times when a man from
Mars, viewing the cold war struggle with full ob
jectivity, could not help but feel that the two great
adversaries were grappling on a superficial level—
dealing with symptoms rather than causes.
A review of the world’s population statistics
would be likely to put a celestial visitor in such a
mood. Several European nations are groaning under
the steadily greater weight of increased population.
Asiatic countries, particularly India, continue to
add to their teeming millions., Even the United
States looks ahead to a sharply higher human total
in the next two or three decades.
If statesmen were complete realists, the cold war
would end tomorrow and in its place would begin a
gigantic joint effort of East and West to solve this
problem of over-population. For the swelling sta
tistics are a matter of grave import. They are a
cause, not a symptom. They bring in their train a
thousand other difficulties.
A few years ago a controversial debate arose in
the United States over this issue. Willianmr Vogt of
the Pan-American Union in Washington dramatized
the problem in a book called “The Road to Survi
val.,” It painted a gloomy picture of rising popula
tions set against dwindling food supplies and other
resources.
Guardians of the great dream of a relentless
progress to higher economic levels were stung into
bitter reply. The men of Vogt’'s view were denoun
ced as crazy alarmists who failed to understand the
world’s potentialities, The argument still rages. It
may fairly be said that it is not settled. It may also
be said that the economic optimists, for all the
vigor of their convictions, have not yet answered
satisfactorily somre of the critical questions involved.
They contend, for instance, that important scien
tific advances will enable a man to replenish ex
hausted soils and thus actually increase his food
potertiai. But they seldom bother to point out that
many of these advances, if not all, are vastly more
expensive to introduce and develop than was the
simple task of drawing nourishment from originally
rich top soils. Again-and again, this cost problem
tends to be ignored by the anti-gloom econopmic
thinkers.
Even more crucially, they usually gloss over the
fact that where technical advances are introduced,
too often the gains are not translated into higher
standards for the existing population, Most com
monly, they are used to provide a broader base to
support more people at absolute minimum levels.
In other words, the population rises as the food
supply permits, Obviously this affords no relief
whatsoever.
Lately the United Nations and other world agen
cies have been giving considerable attention to
population problems, But it would be heartening
to see the issue lifted from the backwaters of ob
scure committees and thrust into the limelight
where it belongs.

NATO Comes First
Republican Senator James H. Duff of Pennsyl
vania points to his support of the late Michigan
Senator Arthur H, Vandenberg for the presidency
in 1948 as a guide to strategy in the Eisenhower
for-President movement this year.
“There was a great grass roots support for Van
denberg,” Duff recalls. “But Vandenberg never
made a specific declaration.
“If, 60 days before the convention, "Vandenberg
had said, ‘I am a candidate!’ nothing could have
stopped him."”
Senator Duff says he doesn’t mean to imply that
Eisenhower should wait till 60 days before conven
tion time to announce his intent.
Duff points to the fact that important North At
lantic Treaty Organization decisions have to be
taken at the Lisbon, Portugal, conference in early
February. After that, Ike may be free to announce.
Duff still intends to go to Europe to see Eisen
hower personally, but hasn’t made up his mind
whether to go before or after the Lisbon NATO
méeting.
1f Eisenhower is a candidate (for presidential
nomination), he’ll be a Republican candidate. Who
ever has been trying to create a doubt about Eisen
hower’s Republicanism has just been whistling in
the dark.—Senator James H, Duff (R.-Pa.). o
A general goes out in a liaison plane and gets
shot at from the ground and he gets a medal. If his
army wins a battle he gets a medal, if it loses a
battle he gets a mredal.—Rep. Robert Sykes (D.-
Florida), protesting system of awarding military
honors.
When this country was founded it took nine peo
ple on the farm to feed themselves plus one city
dweller, Today, in contrast, one man on the farm
feeds himself, four city people and one person
overseas. — Harold Brayman, of E. I. duPont de
Nemours & Company.
To play at love a man should be hungry. The
hunger light in the eye is the same as the love light.
Only a good cook can tell the difference. — Michael
Curtiz, movie director.
