Fact is, as the Telegraph suggested, that the postwar alliance between Britain and West Germany has been at best "a shotgun marriage" imposed by the Soviet threat. Adenauer himself has never forgotten that British occupation authorities fired him as mayor of Cologne in 1945 for "insufficient display of energy." And when Harold Macmillan failed to consult him before setting off to Moscow last month, all Adenauer's suppressed distrust of Britain was reawakened. Bitterly, Adenauer concluded that Macmillan was preparing to offer Khrushchev de facto recognition of Communist East Germany, thereby selling out a vital West German diplomatic position...
Aroused Asia. The 1956 rape of Hungary by the Soviet Union did not rouse the frustrated rage in Asia that it did in Western Europe and the U.S. White v. white colonialism does not stir Asians much. But the crime against Tibet has opened many Asian eyes. The independent Times of Indonesia warned that Red China was losing what few friends it had left.

Ever alert to the wiles of the West, the Soviet news agency Tass last week stumbled onto what seemed to it one of the biggest U.S. propaganda bloopers of all time. Tass could hardly contain itself at thought of showing up the Americans, delightedly prepared a news item for Soviet newspapers exposing the whole fraud. Object of Tass's excitement: the typical U.S. home that thousands of Russians will see in Moscow this summer as part of the first major U.S. exhibition in Russia (TIME, March 16). The six-room house, dubbed a "splitnik" because it will be split...
