the essential unity Of the
churches despite the varied
forms of worship and even Of
theology they followed. To
emphasize the central place
Christ has as the hope of the
world, at one point that phrase
was repeated % times in as
many languages.
Another highlight occurred
when the huge throng repeated
in unison the Lords Prayer, the
reverently spoken words echoing
around the large stadium as

DR.. w. A. Wiser t Hooft, gen.
eral secretary OF the World

ness session today that the
council stands for a unity
which is not merely invisible,
but is tangible and concrete"
'The council can and must
work to create a situation in
which there is so much in COM
mon between the churches that
there is no adequate reason for
them to remain separate from
each other" he declared.
Pointing out that the assembly
is meeting lin conditions of ex-

warned "the tremendous tensions

escape large share of the blame. The open
hostility Of Congress to the regular-oficer
personnel has been expressed in speeches,
press releases and in legislation such as
have described. There have been many in
stances when discriminatory legislation was
voted into law without reference to the Con-
gressional committee that the Congress it.
self had set up for the purpose. Congressional
hostility in itself would have been enough to
make me desire to leave the service.
Although the Congressional speechmakers
invariably mention the so-called bras" -
that is, the generals and the admirals -
much of the discriminatory legislation hits
hardest at the young officers and enlisted
men. A rider in the 1852 appropriations bill
was announced to the press and public as
slowing down the promotions of the mill
tary brass"
Dlauasd the Pentagon
HE rider was so ill-conceived and poorly
worded as to have little effect on senior Off
GERS, but it made drastic impact on promo
ton opportunities of young officers Several
thousand Navy lieutenants would have had
to be denoted if the next session Of Congress
had not taken prompt action to correct the
more glaring errors in the original wording.
But the Congressman who authored this
rider" was not at all embarrassed by his
error. He blamed the Pentagon. He felt the
Pentagon should have told him how to word
his rider so that it would hurt only the
brass" as he had intended.
Now, as this nation faces new crises. what
are the overall effects of policy of constantly
whiting away at the military profession?

Here are some statistics that help TO tell
the tale.
designations of cadets at West Point
reached 100 in 1852 and 95 in 1853. with
many youngsters frankly stating that they
were leaving because of better career oppor-
tunities in civilian life.
The Air Force is having difficulty re-
tanning its skilled technicians. These airmen.
who are extensively trained and invaluable
in the jet age. are turning down offers OF
re-enlistment at the rate of 100000 year.
. Another spectacular example Of young
Americans attitudes toward professional
military careers is afforded by the Nays
Holloway Plan. Under the plan the Navy
provides financial assistance and Naval
training to selected college students in return
for the pledge by these students to serve for
two years after graduation as reserve officers.
After the two years Of reserve training are
over. the students are offered commissions
in the regular Navy. A year ago the first
group Of 800 Holloway Plan officers COM
pleted their required two years. Nearly
80 per cent rejected careers as regular
officers in the Navy.
The question before Congress and the peo-
pie, as see it. is whether this is the time to
subtract additional prerogatives and prestige
from the regular military establishments, or
whether the time has come to make military
careers more attractive than ever
Can we risk the kind of military establish
ment that for want of better must take in
large proportion of mediocrities?

before all the people. The pro-
popents by their very proposal admit
that lowering tariffs would hurt
American industries and workers"
Another leading member of the
Ways and Means Committee, Rep
resentative Richard NJ. Simpson Of
Pennsylvania, observed: How RI
diculous we will appear if we de-
liberately cut tariffs SO that Ameri-
can workers lose their jobs, investors
their money, and communities their
prosperous businesses, and then by
handout try to refrain, remove and
rehouse our workers. reimburse our
investors and rehabilitate our COM
muriities. How much better to pro-
tect the jobs of American workers
in the traditional manner by appro-
pirate tariffs"
The chairman for a protectionist
group called the Nationwide Com
mittee Of Industry, Agriculture and
Labor on Import-Export Policy, o.
r. Strackbein, stands behind MeSsrS.
Reed and Simpson.
What can one say about any

hberately create a displaced-per-
sons problem in this country in
peacetime for no better purpose than
helping one group at the expense Of
another?" he asks. us it not bad
enough to deal with distressed areas
of unemployment, such as are now
Springing up. without taking steps
to aggravate the problem?
Lower the tariff, they say, as if
we had not already done SO. Our
tariff is down IS per cent from its
1931-1935 level.
Here we have a proposal that is
as insensate as it is astounding"
Mr.. Strackbein continues: ut
would be found very quickly that
the many thousands Of families thus
uprooted would find no welcome in
other industrial centers. Their influx
would be bitterly resented. With
unemployment problems of their own
the communities called upon to alb
sorb the refugees from ghost towns
would quickly find themselves
doubly distressed.
II look for this alien proposal to
die a quick death. Those who pro-
posed it in the FIRST place obviously
had not considered its hideous i'm
plications."

reasoning, the Presidents commits

actual injury. Compensation for &C.
tual injury involves dangers to
public policy. The Government often
takes action that injuries some citi-
zens. If we embark upon compen-
sation in one such case, the posi-
bilities for applying the same prin-
ciple elsewhere are endless. :. The
committees proposal does not open
the door to indefinite extension and
1T seeks to avoid injury by an
ticipating the effects of trade bar
rier reductions. 1t thereby reduces
to a minimum the chance that any,
body will actually be injured.
Those who argue that trade bar
rier reduction cannot be undertaken
because they fear unemployment
ought also to argue that technology
cal improvement should be stopped.
for this, too, displaces some workers
and alters their jobs. But these
dislocations are readily absorbed in
a properly functioning economy.
1.-The committee believes that
trade barriers are a form Of con-
cealed subsidy and that they tend
to be permanent. 1t is for these
reasons that the committee has
proposed a program of adjustment
assistance. limited in time and in
cost. in order to secure the more
efficient use of American resources.
1t is difficult to see why We should
go on paying subsidies indefinitely
through trade restrictions when we
can save money and save resources
by speeding a shift in production
that will benefit, our economy.
THE committee has pointed out
that only one-third to two-thirds
of / per cent of our total 1852
labor force would have been affected
by increased foreign competition.
The employees affected are only
small fraction of the number Of
workers added to our labor force
every year for which employment
must be found. OF course, every
shift in employment creates a prob

Will the Congress, facing an ex-
piring Trade Agreement Act, accept
the principle of still lower tariffs:
Trade, not aid for other countries
and aid where there is no trade

of thought prevails on Capitol Hill

American success in liquidating the
wheat surplus without dislocating
existing wheat trade patterns.
Steady Prices
Canadian wheat prices have been
remarkably steady in the last three
months. Wheat grading No. !
Northern now brings little
better than 81 .88 a bushel. That
price is below the International
Wheat Agreement maximum OF
s2.O5. but we'll over the IVA min
imum Of $1.55, and higher than the
$3.50 maximum under the former
IVA. which expired last year.
The price of $l.88-plus is for
both IVA and Class 2 ffree market)
wheat. United States prices are the
same for comparable grades, the
United States having been forced to
reduce its Class price from about
$500 to fall in line with the Cana
dian price. The current price is, OF
course. lower than the 80 per cent
of parity United States support
price, which means that the United
States taxpayer is substituting ex-
port wheat sales.
In Canada. the wheat problem is
a political issue as we'll as economic.
Wheat is marketed by q State-con-
trolled board. If American SURPRISES
prevent the Wheat Board from mar
keting Canadian wheat, farmers in
Canada are almost certain to put
much Of the blame on the Liberal
government. That would cost votes.
So the Presidents intention to lin

international market is especially
welcome in Canada.

forms Of relief. For employees there
would be retaining at Government
expense. special unemployment in
surance payments and Government
low-interest loans to help them move
to new jobs. Distressed communities
hit by an inflow Of imports would
receive special attention.
Even If the principle is accepted
that, because larger merchandise
imports are desirable in the national
interest. such imports should not be
shut out just because they injure
limited groups in this country, i'm
fermentation of the above described
plan would be far from simple. For
example, it would not always be easy
to determine that injury to an in
dustry or community had actually
been occasioned by increased i'm
ports. It could be very difficult to
determine. where injury has oc-
