...Europe, Dulles has seemed pleased with his diplomacy, but perhaps forgets that since he took office, Yugoslavia has moved closer to the Soviet orbit, France has torpedoed the European Defense Community, West Germany has produced more proponents for reunification before rearmament, and England has become distressed at the lack of high level consultation on major policy decisions.

Last week, resplendently uniformed in sky blue, Yugoslavia's Dictator-President Josip Broz Tito arrived in Paris on a visit of state, and was even more thoroughly watched-this time as an endangered rather than a dangerous individual.

This time the Russians blundered, and it will always be a source of wonder why they did or how they could. They should have been prepared for firmness and bluntness in an atmosphere of correct and polite welcome. The fact that Khrushchev lost his temper several times, antagonized his hosts, alarmed neutral opinion everywhere, and set back the Communist campaigns for popular fronts with Socialists proves...
