Surprise has been expressed in Government circles here at the wave of speculation which surges through the free world every time the possibility of a Stalin-Eisenhower meeting or some other "break" in the cold war is mentioned at official level.
Some foreign policy experts think Western political leaders and newspaper editorialists ought to know better.
To suggest that such reaction occurred this past week after President Eisenhower's non-committal re- marks to the Press on a Stalin meeting suggests an atmosphere of expectancy exists a widespread feeling that there is now a sound basis for a major change in the course of world events.

London, Mar. 1.
Latest authoritative reports from British sources indicate that Communist violence in Burma, Malaya and the Philippine Islands has abated during the past 12 months and that the situation in South-East Asia has improved since December 1951.
Potentially, however, the situation is as dangerous as ever, accord- ing to official estimates.
