Conant Warns Germans
Urited, Neutral Germany
Couldn’t Defend Itself
DUESSELDORF Germany, (#>—
U.S. Ambassador James B. Conant
warned the Germans yesterday a
united, neutral Germany would
be unable to defend itself against
the Russians even if it were
armed.
“The idea that a country like
Germany, which has no natural
boundaries at all, could defend
itself alone outside a European
defense system simply ignores the
new military realities,” Conant
told a German audience.
Conant’s warning reflected the
concern of western officials and
West German leaders over the
Russian campaign to neutralize a
united Germany along the lines of
the recent Big Four agreement on
Austria.
Chancellor Konrad Adenauer’s
four-party government and the
opposition Socialists agree such a
solution for Germany cannot be
considered by the West at a Big
Four meeting.

Senator Forecasts
Russia Will Try to
Split U.S., Britain
WASHINGTON (*—Sen. H. Al
exander Smith, New Jersey, yes
terday forecast a Russian effort at
the prospective top-level Big Four
conference to. split the United
States and Britain over Formosa.
Smith, a member of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee, said
in an interview he believes the
Soviets “will throw the Formosa
matter into the conference to try
to split us away from Britain.”
British leaders generally have
advocated a settlement under
which the Chinese Nationalist
held island of Formosa would be
placed under a United Nations
trusteeship.
This government has taken no
firm position on the eventual sta
tus of Formosa, but has a treaty
with Chiang Kai-shek pledging to
help defend it in the event of an
attack by the Chinese Reds.
Britain has been cool also toward
Chiang’s claims to the offshore
islands of Quemoy and Matsu. The
Eisenhower Administration has
declined to say whether it will
help to defend them in case of a
Communist attack.
Konrad Adenauer Will
Visit U.S. Next Month
WASHINGTON, UPi—State De
partment officials said Tuesday
German Chancellor Konrad Aden
auer will pay a one-day visit to
Washington next month.

the United States to receive an
honorary doctorate from Harvard
University June 16.
While in the United States, they
said, Adenauer will visit Wash
ington for courtesy talks with
President Eisenhower and Secre
tary of State Dulles.
No big topics are expected to
come up for discussion.
