OTTAWA.

David Croll, Liberal represent- ative of heavily - Jewish Toronto Spadinn. said he will "do what needs to be done at this time, but without joy and with the Everest of misgivings."

There is scarcely a home in one section of his riding that has not suffered from Nazi persecution of Jews. Mr. Croll said. but he felt that without the proposed step there could he only chaos.

"We cannot leave a vacuum in West Germany." he said. Failure '0 faiify the agreement might mean driving a wedge between West Germany and NATO. it might tend to drive West Germany into the arms of Russia.

tion that had something of claration of war.

Eisenhower said what he was asking was "in the interest of peace." Yet it could lead unques tionably to clashes that might spark a small war or even explode a third world war on the far side of the Pacific-if Red China per- slsts in an announced intention to "liberate" Formosa.

"Already." the president said. "the warning signals are flying."

MAY STRIKE FIRST

The president posed a definite possibility that the United States might be compelled to strike first. even on the Red China mainland. at any Communist buildup of planes, ships or men in obvious preparation for attack.

Both the policy he laid down in a special message to the legislat- ors. and the resolution to give it congressional sanction. were drawn in language broad enough to cover such an eventuality. Both intention- ally omitted laying down any spe- cific line the United States will do- iend with the guns and planes of its newly-reinforced 7th Fleet.

Eisenhower himself carefully -avoided any outright suggestion that. he was requesting some sort of advance authority to go to war. Rather he directed his emphasialn the other direction.

He said the U.S. would welcome United Nations action to stop the shooting between Nationalist and Communist Chinese. both of which oppose such a step.
