I PAGE 2 THE BATTALION Tuesday, November 18, 1959 CADET SLOUCH Allies Asked to Take Some of U S Load • ■ V'ft ■ ■. S' by Jim Earle By JAMES MARLOW Associated Press News Analyst WASHINGTON (AP) The Ei senhower administration is nudg ing the Allies to share the big daddy role. Since World War II this country has shelled out more than 68 billion dollars in foreign aid of all kinds. The administration is also be ginning to talk of the pullback of American troops from Europe. Not immediately, according to Secretary of Defense Neil H. Mc- Elroy ? but eventually, both secre tary of State Christian A. Herter and Undersecretary Douglas Dil lon have joined Eisenhower in call ing on the Allies in Japan and Europe — to join this country in a stepped-up drive of aid to back ward nations. This idea isn’t likely to encoun ter much opposition in this country but an attempt at a troop pull- tJack any time soon will touch off a fiery fight at home. The administration could argue in defense of a troop withdrawal that the only real defense of west ern Europe lies in missiles and that NATO defense will depend less and less on ground forces. But Premier Nikita Krushchev has been calling for withdrawal of both American troops and bases from Europe. No one here is suggesting aban doning United States bases in Europe since the planes and mis siles there are the main deterrent to any Soviet aggression. .0 But the advocates of a strong NATO — the Atlantic Alliance — would probably interpret a troop pullback not only as an appease ment of Krushchev but a return toward American isolation. The could argue that the troops are not only needed on the conti nent — to help swell the size of the Allied ground ti'oops—but that their very presence there i^ assur ance of American solidarity with the Allies. Even now, before Europe is thoroughly guarded with missiles of various ranges, the NATO ground forces apparently are only a shell of -what they are supposed to be. On paper NATO has 21 1-3 divi sions of 425,000 men. Actually, they probably have no more than 250,000 men. There are 20 Soviet divisions in East Germany alone, with 400,000 men. In all, the Sovi et Union has about 170 divisions. Not long ago, when the West was worried the Soviets might try to cut off West Berlin, Eisenhower himself expressed doubt NATO’s ground forces could stop the Sovi ets, and he emphasised the West’s main weapon was in the air. Although Krushchev has pro posed complete disarmament, that’s a long way off. This week he re minded the West that if anyone was getting soft it was the West, not the Soviet Union. He boasted to a group of Soviet journalists that Soviet rocket power is so tremendous it could blast any na tion off the face of the earth now. “Some in the West claim,” he said, “that the Soviet Union has changed its policy and therefore it has become easier to talk with us. This is wrong, of course.” He suggested that any brightening of peace prospects was due rather to a change of heart among the capitalist leaders.
