regular and systematic week-by-9292-eei: check-up oi ail ForeignOffice officials. . . . Indeed. I do
not think that the Department
deserves such a cheek-up."
With such cornplacencies theSocialist Government. in thecourse of months. went out otorcei and in July last Mr-
Nu[t.ing_ Tory Under-Secretaryat the Foreign Office. at longlast announced that thediplomats had been sacked,
When. however. he was asked
to set up a {act-nding commis-sion to inquire into_ the dis-appearance or Maciean andBurgess he turned it down with
the assurance that inquiries
are continuing."

the Daily Express inquiries wereunceasing. In the course of
those inquiries this newspaper
obtained an innocuous interview
with Mrs. Melinda Maciean. the;lmei'ican-born wile and closest|llVll'lg link of the vanished
diplomat.

Reds Play West for Sucker
By DAVID LAWRENCE 1
WASHINGTON. April 26.--It
begins to look as it Moscow is
playing the United States and
the other nations in the free.
world for suckers. The tip-oft}
in the soviet chess game is the
publication oi the recent speech
of President Eisenhower and the.
signicant comment along with
it in "Pravda" that Russia. too.
has her claims and ideas oi
what should be done." Every
one oi the Eisenhower points
was met in Che oiciaily inspired
Soviet press with the usual Com-
munist rebuttals.
This reects the plan oi the
Soviet government to overcome
war fears and strengthen a weak
internal situation by startinii
"discussions" which m'ay last
two or three years. Meanwhile.
the Allies will be inuenced by
a peace-hungry public opinion to
tollow a. namby-pamby policy of
watchful waiting and reduced
armament building.
The Soviets are so sure they
have the free world in a trap
that even while Mr. Eisenhower
and the other statesmen call for
"deeds. not words." the Corn-l;inunist-supplied armies in theii
last few days have boldly crossed l
the boundaries oi Laos. an inde-
pendent kingdom in southeast
Asia. thus perpetrating it newi
aggression before the eyes oi thei
whole world. Moscow guessedl
right--both Washington and.
London were too impressed by
1-ho "Peace maneuvers" to risk
any denunciation oi what hap-
pened in Laos.

exclaimed, My God. he kneweverything." '
What Macbean knows basi-.
caily is the weakness and vul-
nernbiiity oi the Allied position
on the diplomatic side. particu-
larly the .situation in Britain.
where a wedge has been suc-
cessfully driven between the
Washington and London view-.

and America will spend more.
money in Europe.
Story on Montgomery
'The story is going around
Washington, for instance. that
at a private dinner here, given
two weeks ago by Gen. Collins.
chief oi sta of the United
States Army, in honor Oi Vis-.
count Montgomery. the British
eld marshal-who is deputy
military commander oi NATO-i
told the high-ranking guests
bluntly that if the American
government insisted on carry-
ing the war further in Korea
she would rind herself alone

den; that she could not expect
any help from Britain. and that

House Armed Services COlB5{
mittee. who was at the dinner.is reported to have remarkadr
that he thought he understo d
somewhat better the feelings of
the American people. and since
they were today bearing 95 per
cent of the burden in Korea. he
didn't think they would obiect
to carrying 100 per cent it
necessary.
There is no doubt that what
Field Marshal Montgomery said
privately is no secret in London.
Every one there knows that the
British government wants the
Korean war ended on the prin-
cipal terms laid down by the
Red Chinese. or the Moscow
government. as the case may be.-

of Great Britain and British

lomats are pressing for a general
peace conlerence. where they are
confident those differences will
be -accentuated. or where the
U. S. government is expected to
capitulate in the lace oi a united
European demand. .
-So the Russians have every-
thing to gain and nothing to lose:
by long-drawn-out negotiations.

As for the "deeds." the Soviets
will sacrice s. few pawns in
their chess game--pieces that
are not too important because
they will strengthen the other
pieces or factors in the game to
which they will hold on. Thus,
knowing the psychology oi -the
peace-craving iree world. Rus-
sia's proposal to exchange a tew
sick and wounded prisoners has
already brought. I .wlde demand
icr peace talks.
A Russian "Deed"
This is what the Russians call
a "deed." They may even agree
--for I. price-to stop the tight-
ling in Korea, knowing well they;
ican frustrate the main objective.
lof the war from the Allied side.which has been to get s. "united
Korea." This objective has al-
Iready been discarded by the
lliritish, who are willing to agree
to a "divided Korea." Also theBritish are willing, it other!
terms are met. to admit Red
China into the United Nations.
whereas Washington is not. This
is typical oi the opportunltiesl
for dissension which the Soviets
welcome.
The peace palavers will go oni
indenitely. the Soviets will gain
valuable time to manuiacture
more atomic bombs. Moscow will
then take the risk of further
aggression and will assume that
the {res world will rmein paci=
lstic. But such aggression will
iinevitably be met with force
'when the free world is disillu-
sioned. and then the third world
war will come just as surely as

as a secret agent he must have
been told to investigate the British

Even so. it was impossible to feelquite certain. for it would be in

Years afterwards the novelist
was told that he had spent several

He seemed very well and almost
jalfnty. obviously pleased to be
back even if he went around saying
he was convinced that America had
gone mad and was determined on
war.
During the winter Donald
Maclean had made a great effort
to fit into his new existence as
a'cornmuter. Mrs. Maclean was
expecting another child. and
Donald conscientiously refused to
go to cocktail parties in order not to
miss his evening train to Kent. By
May, however. he seemed to be
more about London of an evening.
and it would be interesting if we
could discover if there was any
sudden increase in these outings
after the return of Guy Burgess.
On one occasion in April. after
some feint attacks. he knocked
down one of his greatest friends
for taking the side of Whittaker
Chambers in the Hiss case.
Chambers, according to Donald.was a double- 'faced exhibition- ' "_ '_

to be defended

AFTER n dinner-party on May 15
six of us comeback to my
house : it was divided into two, and
Donald occasionally spent the
night in the other flat. Past mid-
night there was a battering on the
door and I let him in, sober-drunk,
the rst time I had seen him in
this legendary condition. He began
to wander round the room. blinking
at the guests as he divided the
sheep from the goats. and, then
went out to lie down to sleep in the
hall. stretched out on the stone
oor under his overcoat like some
gure from a shelter sketch-book.
The departing guests had to make
their way over him. and I noticed
that. although in apparent coma.
he would raise his long stiff leg like
a drawbridge when one of the
goats was trying to pass. I put him
to bed in his absent friend's at
and gave him an Alka-seltzer
breakfast in the morning.

on the pavement. I said to him.
You're Cyril Connolly. arent you?
-I'm Sir Donald Maclean"; this
reference to our conversation at his
club was intended to eace our last
meeting. He seemed calm and
genial, and went oi! gaily to con-
tinue the luncheon with his
friends, -who were to rejoin me for
coffee.
At luncheon. they told me when
they came back. he had been mei-
low and condential; he had
talked about himself, about how
much better he felt. how he didn't
have to visit his psycho-analyst so
often. and how he was determined
to take a hold on himself lest he
got into any trouble which might
bring disgrace upon his children.
That day was his birthday. The
luncheon was his treat. and the
wee]-: after he was getting some
compassionate leave. for his wife
would be going to hospital for the
baby; he asked if he could come
down and visit my friends for some
part of the time. They had been
very kind to him when he was ill.
and he was now in effect making
them a favourable report.
After spending the afternoon in
his office he went oil to Charing

THIS theory bristles with di1cui-
tles. but it does at least explain
the sudden departure. And yet. like
all who knew hirn. I em convinced
that Donald was not an active
Communist. He had a morbid In-
clination to suicide. and he would
say that only his love for his chil-
dren kept him from it. This love
was the one emotion which -he felt
without ambivalence. and he would
not have taken any drastic step
unless he had been convinced that
it was for the best as far as their
h.appiness_was concerned." -
Perhaps Burgess and Maclean
are at --last integrated. But. as
Maclean said. what matters
is people. and that . is i whatb
makes his case essentially tragic.-1

THE search for Guy Burgess and
Donald Maclean, the Foreign
Office men who disappeared "after
landing at St. Malo, France, from a
cross-Channel steamer a year ago, has
been called off. - - . .
Their names have been removedcfcially
from the list of suspected persons compiled
by the Government for use by immigration
oicers at every British port. . '
This does not mean that the two diplomats have
been found. '

. Have They Had Some News?
One question raised is: Has Whitehall received
information which makes it certain that neither man
will ever attempt to return, even if he is able to do so ?
The " suspect list " supplied to immigration officers
contains the names oi persons, both British and alien,
believed to be connected with subversive political

It is known that Maclean and
Burgess went to Prague within aiew weeks of their disappearance

That was from Burgess to 1.

"Show Biz," by Abel Green as-'1-l"_e_I_4lurle, Jr., is to the theatrlcll arts what Churchill's memoirs are to international polities. No one can
write history like the men who make it, and Variety has had as much
impact on the making of showbiz history as in the printing of it.
