FTER the highly provoking the Big Three experience of deputies in Paris in trying, with the permission of the poker-faced Mr Gromyko, to reach a simple agreement for a round-table conference of Foreign Ministers, neither Washington London is likely to waste much time parleying over Russia's latest Note on a peace settlement with Japan. Of any. consequence, nothing new is offered. Demand is reiterated for participation in treaty-making deliberations of Com- munist China, a proposal bound to be ⚫ summarily rejected while the Kores conflict is actively pursued from Peking. The more plausible suggestion that the representatives of all nations whose armed forces fought Japan should participate in a general con- carefully ference carries its contrived catch-a plain inference that the "smaller" nations would be invited in only a consultative basis. The basic insistence is that the. Foreign Ministers of Russia, United States, Britain and 'China' must be given fuil responsibility-and veto powers-for preparing the peace treaty, then generously permit the rest to subscribe their signatures. The only point of interest, in fact, rests in the purpose which prompted the Kremlin to choose this particular moment to indulge in a diplomatic gesture which boga itself down in proposals which have already beon rejected or, well known to the Stalin hierarchy, aro plainly un- acceptable. One conclusion alone is possible: the desire is to confuse the real issue and to delay the conclusion of a treaty which rides roughshod over Kremlin designs. The speed with which Mr Kenneth Younger and Mr John Foster Dulles last week ironed out all aerious differences between Britain and ́ the United States affecting the text of the proposed treaty appears to have surprised the Soviet. It meant, in effect, that outside Russia and China,"

constrained to walk knowingly into another long-drawn-out bout of verbiage, aimed at diverting them from a course about which their minds are thoroughly made up, merely puts a tax on patience. It may be, undoubtedly it is, disagreeable to Soviet Russia to find a Big Three attitude proclaiming an intention to proceed on their own way in the absence of Russian readiness for co-operation, for it reflects inter- no special credit on Russia's national prestige, but the writing has the wall. If Russia been long on

between the closer liaison expects principal capitals at high levels, the opportunity offers, but the Allies have been brought to a point where there is no alternative to making a clean choice between abandoning appeasement which merely sponsors demands for more and making a firm stand. Should Russia want to make her voice heard acceptably in international councils, her course is equally clear." An end of the struggle in Korea, which undoubtedly requires no more than a directive from the Kremlin, and an end to futility at the Palais Rose, reached by one short speech by Mr Gromkyo, and the atmosphere would change overnight. Backed up, it could put ideological cleavage into cold storage and would represent a real attempt not only to reduce friction between Russia and the democratic
