THE BEAR DANCES
From Washington comes a steady stream of guff and gush about how charming, how well-dressed and how excruciatingly hospitable are the Mikhail Menshikovs, lately come to occupy the previously forbidding Red embassy and to soften up the silly American for the next Yalta.
And the fact that they are getting such a big assist from newsmen, society reporters and commentators who are presumed to have newspaper experience may indicate what troupers these Menshikovs are!
In spite of Mr. Menshikov's spell-binding efforts to make us forget the Red enslavement of half of the world, the Soviet record of total deceitfulness in violating no less than 26 out of 26 agreements with the US since 1917, its adoption of wholesale murder as an instrument of policy and most recently, the wanton butchery in Hungary, another summit meeting looks no more promising now than it ever did.
If the Reds really want to play ball, all they have to do to implement disarmament is to accept President Eisenhower's aerial inspection plan and get busy on fulfilling their 1955 Geneva agreement on German reunification. And until both of these developments are put in motion there would seem to be nothing to say—at the summit or elsewhere.
In the meantime, let those who have the stomach for it enjoy their free caviar at the Embassy—and forget Mr. Khrushchev's boast: "We will bury you."
