The Home conference opened on a dis- turbing note; it is ending with the prospects of rati- fention of the EDC treaty. by the French and Bonn governments brighter than ever before. This achieve- ment fa, a tribute to the sagacity of the delegates who discovered and agreed on a masterly compromise regarding the five protocols which France desired to add to the treaty, The sub- stance of the pict remains unchanged with none of the modifications which Franco avcks being writton into it. Presumably, however, the French Government has not wholly conceded its proposi- tion that France be entitled to withdraw troops from the European Army if they are required to serve overseas. The inference is that the European Defence Communi- ty delegates have tacitly agreed that future circum- stances shall dictate the ex- tent to which the French protocols, which have now become "Interpretative", shall be applied. One likely effect of the successful Rome conference will be the rapid ratification by West Ger- many of the EDC tresty, But M. Mayer and his Cabinet cannot expect na ensy time when they place the treaty before the French Parliament.

Making his "maiden speech" as new permanent United States delegate to the United Nations under the Administration of President Eisenhower, Mr Henry Cabot Lodge today presented what he called "ten facts which the world should face."
"The whole world knows the truth -that, except for the active aid furnished to the North Korean and Chinese Com- munist aggressors by the Soviet Union; the war in Korea would now be over,' declared Mr Lodge.
