New Atomic Front Line Observers

Admit Grave Situation

UN TROOPS OFF BALANCE

Washington, Nov. 8. Enemy troops on future battlefields may be blasted with atomic weapons launched

the by both American Army and the Air Force flying in its sup stato port, according to ments in a Defence Depart- ment report.

The atomic bomb up to now has been a strategic weh pon

for the mass destruction of

eltics, but not for tactical use against forces in the field.

In their semi-annual report,

the Armed Forces took a long

and talked look ahead

of an arsenal of new weapons being developed, or in the research stage.

There were references to the hydrogen bomb project, radio- germ logical poison weapons, warfare,

guided progress, in missies, and a device which could be used for making maps of hostile terrain under cover

of night or clouds.

With the American First Corps în Korea, Nov. 3.- The United Nations forces which two days ago were racing virtually unopposed toward the Manchurian border," are facing what may soon prove a Korean "battle of the Bulge."

The situation facing the United Nations army on Friday bears definite resemblance to the one which was Ardennes in December faced by the Allied forces in the 1944. when Field Marshal Von Runstedt threw the last or- ganised remnants of the German army at the centre of the Allied line.

But this time the United Nations army is facing fresh forces of a completely new enemy, rather than the des- perate last efforts of a defeated regime..

The concensus of front line observers and staff officers is that the present situation may well develop into an even more serious threat than Mr Frank Pace, in his report that of the Germans in the final stages of the European campaign of

European Rearmament

THE trenchant speech on European rearmament and American ald that ex-President Hoover made recent- ly provides much food for thought and. argument. What he wants is to force. European countries to make greater efforts to rearm themselves, and he: feels that American aid for rearma- ment should be based on what Secre- tary Acheson would call "a missing component" in this case until "a de- finitely united and sufficient European army is in sight." The problem that Mr Hoover is trying to solve is the same one that the Truman' 'Adminis tration has been struggling with in acute form over since the Korean. In- vasion sounded, the alarm. In a sense. it goes back even further, to the time when it became clear that the West. had to rearm to meet the Soviet throat. Yet the United States has only recognised, the full urgency and necessity of the policy in recont months, Granting American willing noss to rearm and to aid Western. Europe to do likewise, the problem became one of persuading European

overnments and peoples of their dan -gen and of the feasibility of defeating the Bussian menace; As Mr Hoover righly says, Britain saw eye to eye with the US, from the beginning, but nised that it was her to do so than job, for France. Britain

attack she would still not have to bear the brunt, of a mass overland invasion and possible occupation. France, the Lowlands and Western Germany must face that terrifying possibility and it should not be wondered that the effect is somewhat paralysing. France is a vortex where all these pressures swirl and churn, and, Americans would do well to try to put themselves in the Frenchman's state of mind. It is logi. cal, for instance, to rearm Germany partially in order to strengthen Wes- tern Europe against the Russians, but a Frenchman has ghastly memories and fears of German militarism that he cannot shake off. His Government has to respond to those fears. thinks it has to-and the result is a dragging of the feet and a casting about for safeguards against Germany as well as Russia. That explains, for. instance, the French suggestion to form a Continental army in which Ger- man forces would be submerged and controlled. To some minds this is an effort to cacape from reality but to the Franch it is a method of facing what they consider the reality of a German military resurgence. The composing of such differences in a delicate and com- plicated work of diplomacy. It is not susceptible to the sort of strong-arm methods that Mr Hoover proposes. At the same time, it must be admitted that many of the things the former President said about the slowness of European self-help and the lack of a , will to fight nooded to be said. An
