STORM OVER CHURCHILL

Impossible To Work With Soviet Union

Recognition Of War Danger

(By Reuters Diplomatic Correspondent)

London, Sept. 19. Mr. Winston Churchill's appeal today at Zurich University for a partnership between France and Germany on which to found "a United States of Europe," is expected to arouse as big a storm in London and throughout the world as did the speech delivered a week ago by Mr. Henry Wallace, the United States Secretary of Commerce.

States

mark in Mr. Churchill's evolu- tion. In his Fulton speech, de- livered in the United Inst March he baned his hope for the future of world peace on "the fraternal association of two of the great victorious Allies. Britain and the United States."

The two speeches are considered by observers here to mark the extremes of foreign policy possi- ble for the Western democracies today. While Mr. Wallace wante to drop ul signs of a "get tough with Russia" policy, Mr. Chur- chill's speech has created the general impression that he wants a Franco-German part: nership with which Britain and the United States could work as a means of building a re- gional grouping strong enough to stand

to the Soviet Union.

Observers in London consider. that Mr. Churchill's speech has overshot the foreign policy which Mr. Ernest Bevin and

up

Mr. James Byrnes are actually purauing as far to the Right as Mr. Wallace's speech over- shot it to the Left.

End Of Phase

Mr. Churchill's pronounee- ments are much less embarrass- ing for the British Government than are those of Mr. Wallace for the United States Govern- ment, for Mr. Churchill is the leader of the opposition. The fact that his plan for the future of Europe, which pleads in effect for the rebuilding of Germany in the knowledge that "time may be short", is strik- ingly different from Mr. Bevin's dogged attempt to base policy on the concert great powers, is expected to strengthen the British Foreign Secretary's position in his own party.

Like Mr. Wallace, Mr Chur- chill has ended phase in which it was possible to say that there was a fundamental national agreement on foreign pelley. Mr. Bevin can now no longer be accused of Left Wing tactics of the Labour Party, or of continuing Mr. Churchill's foreign policy.
