Indeed, the feeling grows that, for all the good further efforts may be, the negotiators might as well pack up and go home. , However, on the other side of the world things are looking better after the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) conference at Lisbon. Five days of deliberation there have been marked by the greatest measure of accomplishment and accord that have yet been achieved by the organization which is designed to build up the defences of Europe against the aggressive encroachments of Communism. Even a short year ago, there are few who would have hoped that such progress could have been made. Now there is good reason to feel confidence that, as far as Europe is concerned, there has been an effective check of the Red menace. The picture in Asia, however, is far from reassuring. Korea seems little nearer to a settlement than ever. There is a sudden disturbing turn of affairs in French Indo-China.

In an article condensed from The Yale Review, Miss Thayer points out that comparative population figures are not a true gauge of the number of armed" men the Communists could muster for all-out war.

It ts a nation's ability to free men from civilian production without lowering the living standard below the level of survival. Russia and her allies are today scraping the bottom of the manpower pool for their jjrmed forces. The democracies have an enormous feserve that could be drawn from civilian production if needed.
