Capital is on a tour of Europe by Henry Brandon Bonn special the sunday times Gerhard Schroeder the West German foreign in ister said in an exclusive interview with me this week that he warmly welcomed the new limited nuclear test ban agree ment. He said we germans find ourselves in the front line and we therefore favor any practical Steps that will Lead towards a detente Between East and West As Long and this is our Basic criterion for future negotiations As they do not Dis Criminate against us and place Germany in a position of in Equality. The test ban agreement is a Good illustration of what i mean because it has worldwide he foresaw no difficulty in Germany s accession to this treaty though offi Cial information about the mos cow negotiations is still expected in Bonn. As regards the three other subjects being mentioned As next on the Agenda for the negotiations with Russia a non aggression arrangement a non dissemination agreement for nuclear weapons and Mea sures against Surprise or. Schroeder said that a non aggression arrangement should contain a provision thai the ultimate goal was still Germany s reunification. Status quo he also emphasized the need for safeguards which would ensure the Freedom of West Ber Lin. When i suggested that a non aggression arrangement could perhaps be construed As a guarantee of the status quo for West Berlin he said the Dan Gers inherent in the Berlin situation Are that the soviet Union or the East German re Gime could find various excuses such As the breaking Down of Bridges to Block Road traffic with Berlin. Such seemingly uneventful actions however could Lead to a violation of the status quo.

Or. Schroeder was All in favor of a nuclear non dissemination agreement. In fact he placed great emphasis on it As proof that Germany has no longings in this Field. Same conditions he seemed to raise no major objections to Surprise at tack measures at least As far As they Are known now in the most general and Basic principles As Long As they were not specs f i c a 11 y discriminatory against Germany. For instance he has no objections to the stationing of for eign inspectors in Western and East Germany at various junctions As Long As they were also placed under the same conditions in the . And essentially i was left with the impression that or. Schroeder and it is generally assumed in Bonn that he is reflecting the views and attitudes of the German government after Chancellor Adenauer s retire ment does not suffer from the fear that detente Between East and West is something to be afraid of or to be an impression that Bonn once used to give.

Metro transit but cold War is st7ll cold nuclear pact Means time is with moderates London special the economist experts at dipping their pens in the Ink without the test ban negotiators flexed their wrists last week put pen to paper and finished the Job. The Moscow radio commen Tator who used the phrase was talking about the Western Dele Gates but the dour cautious Ness he pictured was bilateral. Right up to signing time the West was cautiously guarding against any russian attempt to slip in a reference to non aggression talks that might look like a condition of agreement on testing. The russians must have been warily wondering about the Grumpy sounds com ing from some senators in Washington. Even Premier Khrushchev who eight years ago this month was uncorking the spirit of Geneva and four years ago was at work with his cocktail Book preparing the spi Rit of Camp David has been on the diplomatic water Wagon his time. Given the number of times 1955 and 1959, for example when the Bubble of Hope has suddenly gone pop it has been perfectly right to be cautious this time. It will be right to go on being cautious now that a real live test treaty has revived some people s inclination to think that the end of the cold War May be in sight. Nothing of the sort is in Prospect Al though something is happen ing in East West relations that does raise the possibility of at least a change in the Char Acter of the cold. War. This article will try to distinguish Between what is justifiable to Hope for and what it is not. Nuclear Genie to begin with it must be recognized that the test ban now obtained like a girl kept waiting too Long for a proposal is no longer the catch it used to be. Two and a half years ago when or. Kennedy named this As one of the two issues he would consider As tests of or. Khrushchev s intentions he had in mind a treaty to Stop All nuclear experiments below ground As Well As above. The present scheme leaves the americans the British and the russians free to go on banging away underground and in View of the number of military men in both the United states and Russia who dislike any limitation on testing at All it is pretty certain that they will do just that. And this is not the Only leak in the Cork supposed to keep the nuclear Genie in the bottle it is now even less Likely than it was two years ago that France and China can be persuaded to fall into line and re Frain from Bangs of their own. If they insist on their right to test As Gen. De Gaulle asserted monday the result will be either a further cause of Strain within each Alliance which might in time make Washington or Moscow disc chant edly decide that the ban was More trouble than it was Worth or else a suspicion that the French and chinese were testing on behalf of their abstaining allies in which Case the escape clause some people in Washington object to might be brought into play. In either Case the agreement could turn out to be unstable. In the second place the suggestions or. Khrushchev has been throwing out this month for agreements to follow the signing of the test ban treaty while obviously Worth taking up equally obviously do not time Khrushchev May come to realize that Russia s interests Are historic ally with the West. Should he recognize this the possibilities of ending the cold War Are almost limitless amount to the Radical Orienta Tion of russian foreign policy that some optimists have taken them for this applies to the raft of ideas he threw out at the Russo hungarian Friend ship meeting july 19 As much As to his earlier suggestion of a non aggression pact in East Berlin july 2. This is not to deny that properly exploited the opportunities now opening up could Lead in time to some thing like a reversal of attach ments on Russia s part. Whether the reversal could Ever be made formal and explicit is another matter one simply wishes to Point out that on present evidence no such in Tention can be detected in or. Ular use just now. According to this simile or. Khrushchev like any general who finds him self fighting on two fronts must be tempted to make peace on his Western front in order to concentrate his resources on the chinese front. The weak Ness of this simile is that it externalized the conflict in rus Sian policy too much. The struggle goes on inside Moscow and one suspects in or. Khrushchev s own breast As Well As on the Eastern and Western diplomatic fronts. Or. Khrushchev s ability to Call a truce Over the whole Range of issues where the soviet Union and the Western world Are in exclusive from Khrushchev s mind. As he him self might say it is a mistake to count chickens before the Mother Hen has Learned the facts of life. Two fronts perhaps those who have read too much into Russia s apparent willingness to conclude a number of limited agreements with the West have been mis led by a military simile in pop conflict with each other is limited by what his Domestic opposition will stand. This is what makes him claim and will make him try to prove in prac Tice that any agreements he May reach with the West on specific Points Are As much to Russia s advantage As to the West s and Are not above All incompatible with that be Lief in the ultimate worldwide Victory of communism which constitutional tangle judges electrical storm snarls . Power lines on tray amount said by the judge s report Premier Ben Nett s . Hydro and Power authority has produced a barrage of questions and very few answers by h. L. Jones Vancouver Columbia s Power authority situation today presented a Legal political financial tangle that would put Jungles of Africa to name. The situation was created monday by a 398-Page judg ment of . Supreme court chief Justice Sherwood Lett. He ruled constitutionally in Alid provincial action by which remier w. A. C. Bennett s so Cial credit government expropriated the big Power Gas transportation private Utility the . Electric company amal Jamate it with the . Hydro commission into the . Hyro and Power authority and it through a Law to prevent Uit without consent. A. Side Issue was the Arbi of government to Bce s Parent company . Ower corporation for All Bce assets in the expropriation endings effective from aug. 1, 961. The corporation claimed he Bce was Worth at least chief Justice Lett put be value at questions the judgement in effect ruled that the . Hydro and Power authority is no longer a Legal entity insofar As it embraced Bce. This had observers ask ing such questions As what now of Premier Ben Nett s plans for Multi million Dollar Power developments on the peace and Columbia River which the authority was to undertake what of the status of Bonds and Power develop ment contracts issued by the authority since it swallowed the Bce what of Bonds issued in the name of the Bce by government order after it was expropriated the answers were not immediately Clear. And to complicate matters a. Bruce Robertson president of . Power announced the corporation plans to move to take Back its Multi million Dol Lar entity and operate it again As a private Utility. He Felt its assets staff and physical holdings could be Dis entangled from the Hydro authority which swallowed it at the government s bidding in March 1962. Or. Robertson made his announcement shortly after at Torney general Robert Bonner said the province will Appeal the Robert Bonner province will Appeal constitutional aspects of chief Justice Lett s judgment to the supreme court of can Ada if necessary. Status quo the corporation president Felt the Appeal would not interfere with the re taking and opera Tion of Bce unless the court ordered the status quo maintained until the Appeal is decided. Legal observers expected that the provincial government in. Its Appeal application will seek an injunction to maintain the status quo and prevent . Power from moving in on Bce. But Legal observers still had no answers As to what might happen if the province goes All the Way to the supreme court of Canada and loses its Appeal. Some thought the government might have some sort of enabling legislation in mind. But another said you can t Buck the British North America act. It s Canada s Constitution and can Only be changed with the consent of All the provinces and the Federal in his judgment chief Justice Lett found the province had exceeded its constitutional authority under the ban act in expropriating and manipulating . Electric. Government Cabinet minis ters did t seem worried though. Attorney general Bon Ner in announcing the Appeal said the fact is that the elec tric lights Are on the buses Are running and there is no Intima Tion that that is Likely to come to an end tomorrow or in the near non entity lands and forests minister Ray Williston said that until decision on the Appeal it will be business As there would be no change of plans to bargain soon with the United states on the Price to be paid for Canada s share of Down Stream Benefit Power from the proposed Columbia River development despite the fact the authority designated to build the Canadian works had been legally declared a non entity. It was or. Robertson who Premier Bennett plans fouled posed the question about Bonds issued in the name of the authority but these Are All fully guaranteed by the province. Perhaps a bigger question is a Bond Issue in the name of the issued at government order at the time of expropriation. The Bce he said had no Legal obligation on these and he would expect the govern ment would step in and Back them. Chief Justice Lett rules against . The muddle also posed questions As to the position now of the joint chairman of the authority or. Gordon Shrum and or. H. L. Keenleyside. And what of the Ordinary electricity user who first got his Bills from the . Electric then from the . Hydro and Power authority and now May be getting them again from Bce. He like everyone else is waiting to see. Pravda july 14 claimed to be As much an article of russian Faith As of chinese. But so Long As he is obliged to work within these limits All the tangle of conflicting Aims and interests that we Call the cold War will stay unabated. New slant All this having been said however it is necessary to add something More cheerful. Or. Khrushchev s initiatives though something less than a right about turn in russian foreign policy do give it a potentially very interesting new slant in deed. The economist suggested last week that it ought to be possible to find a Way of draft ing the non aggression agree ment he proposed july 2 in such a form that West Germany s sensitivity about the recognition of East Germany might not be bruised. Immediately after wards in his talk to the hungarians in Moscow july 19, or. Khrushchev obligingly said that it was not the form but the Content of the agreement that mattered and. Suggested that the matter could be solved without particular having thus apparently yielded a Point on the subject of control posts that might be established in certain areas of the soviet Union As Well As other countries to guard against Surprise attacks. The difference Between the two issues is that nobody in the West has Ever seen much Point in offering to talk about a non aggression pact except As a Means of encouraging or. Khrushchev to accept a nuclear test ban. This is not to reflect on its value for that purpose which May in fact have been quite considerable but the possibility of setting up control posts to watch Over the move ment of troops inside Russia is quite another matter. The last time the russians talked about control posts was in the memorandum they submitted to the United nations in septem Ber 1961, and then the Sugges Tion came As part of an eight Point package in which at least two of the other Points the removal of foreign bases and the creation of nuclear free zones with a reference to the Rapacki plan for Central Europe were known in Advance to be unacceptable to the West. The russians interest in control posts then waned. When the United states put up a six Point proposal on Surprise at tacks Early last year they took up four of the Points but not the one on control posts which the luckless or. Tsarapkin de scribed Only this Spring in Gen Eva As a form of main value now or. Khrushchev has re Vived the idea this time it seems without wrapping it in a package unacceptable for other reasons. In purely Mili tary terms an Exchange of fixed site inspectors could be distinctly useful. Had such men been on duty on the roads rail ways and airfields of Eastern Europe in the summer of 1961, for instance they would almost certainly have spotted the build up of russian forces that pre ceded the building of the Ber Lin Wall. But the scheme s main value is political. If the rus sians were to allow these Posi to be set up in their territory they would have conceded two major Points first that inspection does not necessarily go hand in hand with espionage secondly that it is right and proper for inspectors to inspect forces actually in existence As distinct from those being abolished in a disarmament pro Gram. There is no need to underline the implications for future disarmament conferences. Other ideas Are in the mos cow air. Or. Khrushchev talked july 19 of a possible freezing of defence budgets according to one report he might also be willing to consider later on a Compromise about on site inspections and hence an Exten Sion of the test ban to cover underground explosions As Well. None of these themes is new. What is new is that or. Khrushchev by refraining from Lump ing them together into a single take it or leave it package seems to have opened up the Prospect of an extended period of serious negotiation Between Moscow and the Western world. This will not be the end of the cold but it is wholly to the West s advantage that the atmosphere of the last month should be prolonged that is an atmosphere in which the relative improve ment of feelings Between mos cow and the West stands in Stark contrast to the worsening of feelings Between Moscow and the extremists in peking. In this Way time can be made to work on the Side of moderation for it is in such an atmosphere that Russia is most Likely to recognize the historical interests that connect it with the countries to its West rather than to the hot minded giant in the East.
