The Soviets have pioposc'd unification and t.f Germany. ImiTU'ciiately the clat-qiu' is turned to announce tiiat would lay Germany wide open to the Soviets. a Why would it? Are Sweden and Switzerland laid open beeause they are neutral? On the contrary, they are the only European countries whom Eisenhower did not need to exhort to self-defense. Does neutrality mean defenselessness? If that is what the Soviets mean they are acting in bad we are falling in with their preposterous definitions.
