Last week, 48 hours before he and Churchill took off for the Washington Conference, Eden in the House of Commons (see FOREIGN NEWS) struck at the heart of U.S. policy in Asia by proposing a "Locarno pact." A key provision: defense against further Communist advance in Asia would rest upon a Communist promise not to advance. This speech, flung in the teeth of President Eisenhower's statement that what he wanted from the Reds was "deeds, not words," advertised-deliberately or otherwise-a basic split between Britain...
...focused on Indo-China and the defense of Southeast Asia. Anthony Eden did not apologize for the backhanded insults he dealt Foster Dulles in his House of Commons speech, but he did say he regretted having raised a storm of dissent in the U.S. by proposing a Far Eastern Locarno. Eden said that he had no idea the proposals would evoke such sharp dissent in the U.S.-a statement that was hard to take at face value...

Eden's Locarno proposal would mean sanctifying whatever peace terms the collapsed French may concede in Indo-China, Dulles said.

...their misgivings publicly. Before Düsseldorf's Rhein-Ruhr Club, Heinrich Bruning, last democratic Chancellor of the Weimar Republic (1930-32) and now a professor at Cologne University, warned that Adenauer's policy was inflexible and unrealistic. Germany, he said, must return to its traditional Rapallo-Locarno policy of friendship with both East and West. Through the Treaties of Rapallo (allying Germany with Russia in 1922) and Locarno (allying her with the West in 1925), Germany had risen from the ashes of World War I. A new Rapallo-Locarno policy would again enable Germany to play...
These freshmen were honestly unconcerned about the war debt problems of France or the Locarno treaty and only occasionally did the world court issue make a determined appearance in their lives. As the fall term opened Cal Coolidge was well on his way to mediocrity while Red Grange and Paul Whiteman's jazz caught the undergraduates' enthusiasm...
