Should The Curtain Rise . . .
The "I told you so," that often follows an
argument is one of the most, if not the most
unpopular devises used by debaters. Unpopular
or not, The Nebraska feels it must use the
old lines.
Two years ago, the University Convocations
Committee sponsored a speaker named Jean
Jacques Servan-Schreiber, who was then asso
ciated with the French newspaper "Le Monde."
His name might be better known to Americans
today because of his association with recently
elected Mendes-France as part of the French
premier's so called "brain trust."
During his speech, Servan-Schreiber tried to
give the student audience an idea of the Euro
pean, particularly the French, attitudes toward
Communism and their feelings about the Ameri
can pre-occupation with Red hunting and the
like. One of his topics seemed particularly
important to The Daily Nebraskan, and was
emphasized in the news story about the speech
and on the editorial page.
The point Servan-Schreiber made was essen
tially this: The Western powers, particularly
the United States, should begin working to bring
West Germany up to the level Russia was fast
reaching in East Germany. The French jour
nalist said this building process in Germany
should be accelerated against the day "Russia
lifts the Iron Curtain around East Germany to
show a more advanced, more prosperous scene
than the West has been able to create on the
other side."
The Daily Nebraskan seconded Servan Schrei
ber's idea, and has continued to do so since.
Now it seems the Soviet government might
be at the curtain lifting stage. Their foreign min
ister, V. M. Molotov, made a surprise an
nouncement Wednesday that- his government
wished to have a Big Four meeting on German
re-unification and an immediate end to German
occupation. '
For this tiew shift In Soviet policy, there
have been the standard replies by the Western
powers. Both the English and U. S. Foreign
offices have said this new offer is nothing but
Afterthoughts

For the oddest twist in politics this country
has seen for many years take a look at Texas'
Gov. Allan Shivers. He upset tradition by bolting

a blast at the nine-power Western Allied con
ference in Londay, and both have been equally
quick to begin the propaganda parade that
always forecasts immediate failure to any
Soviet-backed move. There is a measure of
justification in this common denouncement of
course. Both countries have spent many hours
at the conference table with the Russian emis
saries only to come away with little more than
a severe browbeating.
This new offer may be something new on the
diplomatic scene, however, and the West, par
ticularly the U. S. seems to sense it. Perhaps
this is the moment Servan-Schreiber told Uni
versity students about two years ago, perhaps
not. If it is, how will West Germany stack up
against its Red dominated counterpart to the
East? Will the Western powers be forced to
pull down once more the Iron Curtain that
Russia has so carefully tended until now?
Should the Iron Curtain be lifted now, what
would the pro-Red forces see? Even the most
casual follower of current events can make a
comparatively good answer to this question.
First, a Germany with little or no military
strength, certainly an inviting target for "libera
tion," possibly like that in Korea. Second, a
Germany with allies who must squabble among
themselves before a definite policy of strength
ening and re-enforcement can even be started.
Third, a Germany which is even now not certain
that she will be allowed to rearm, though she
may be expected to be the major delaying
force against Communist assault.
Even if this picture of weakness were not
enough to make it necessary for the West to
replace the curtain, consider the effects on the
West German population when they looked on
a Communist dominated area which has a large,
well-trained and equipped army, a police force
that is nearly as large, a sure, nearly endless
source of military supply (Russia), and a well
organized, strictly controlled internal govern
ing structure. Seeing these would hardly make
the West Germans enthusiastic about their
futures as fighters for freedom.
In any case, the West was definitely not pre
pared to meet the new Russian shift. As has
been the case since the close of World War II,
we have been one jump behind the. Russians,
moving only to meet their new demands. Though
the Western powers may be right in assuming
this new Russian offer ..is nothing more than
the usual propaganda blast, it would have been
far better to have heeded what men like Servart
Schreiber have been saying these last few.
years. It would be more than unfortunate
should we be forced to take up the curtain
tending when and if the Russians lift theirs
from East Germany. T. W.
