defense cheaply by organizing the
manpower masses of Asia, that we
can prevent aggression by getting
Asians to fight Asians, is largely
illusory because Free Asia (perhaps
excluding Japan does not now have
and cannot in the near future
create, even with our assistance. the
economic potential to support a
major military effort.
In the second place, while these
countries can help to resist minor
aggression and should be able to
maintain order internally. weapons
and military potential are ineffec-
tive without the will to use them.
Some of the underdeveloped areas
appear to have this will, others
clearly do not.
Aid Bolsters Privote Enterprise?
There is an expectation fire.
quently associated with American
aid programs that they can and
should be used to halt or reverse
the trend toward Socialism" pres
ent in many underdeveloped areas.
We agree with those who hold
that a private market system with
maximum opportunity and incen-
tive for individual enterprise will in
the long run promote self-sustain-
ing growth better than a highly
bureaucratized system dominated by
central government. But we be-
lieve paradoxically that we shall
promote ultimate reliance on pri-
vate incentives more effectively by
not insisting on any particular eco
nomic philosophy as a condition of
aid than by attaching private en-
terprise strings. A favorable en-
vironment for private investment
can, in some cases, be established
only after period of rather heavy
capital formation under govern
ment auspices.
This is what happened in Japan
in the decade after 1868. and. more
recently, the whole set of measures
instituted by the Indian govern
ment in the period starting 1851
have, by 1856, created an environ
ment in which the Indian private
sector is undergoing rapid growth.
Thus we believe on the one hand
that crude attempts to force free
private enterprise philosophy on
recipient countries as an explicit or
implicit condition for aid are al
most certain to be self-defeating:
on the other hand we believe there
are good reasons for expecting
countries now avowedly socialist but
determinedly democratic to move
toward greater reliance on private
incentives as their development
proceeds.

New answers to a century-old
problem will be sought tomorrow
when lawyers and judges from
across the country face each other
around dozen tables in the JUS
tice Department.
The problem: How to assure
swifter justice for the man who
sues or gets sued.
Right now justice is indeed slow.
The pedestrian. for example, who is
knocked down by a truck sooner or
later pays the penalty of delayed
justice. Hospital and doctor bills
pile up. His lawyer tells him his
suit won't come to trial for an
other year or two. He is finally
willing to take settlement
amounting to a lot less than a jury
might award in damages.
In this case-and there are many
like 1.-THE courts delay has been
advantageous to the defendant. In
other cases. the defendant can be
injured by the long wait for trial,
This is an old story to the judges
and lawyers invited by the Attor-
ney General to grapple in the next
two days with the Nationwide
problem of court congestion.
They come from States where two
to four years may elapse between
the time a suit is filed and finally
reaches judge and jury. 1t would
take the Federal judges IA months
to clear up the pending backlog of
cases If they did nothing but work
on that.
A Curoble Disease?
What's behind the conference Of
leading members Of Federal and To-
cal bars and benches? There's a
clue in the words of Chief Justice
Arthur T. Vanderbilt of the SUI
preme Court of New Jersey in his
recent book. The Challenge OF Law

Fortunately. he wrote. "the
laws delays are durable disease.

measures might yield an addition

but under strict busineSS-like cri-
terra.
. Recipient countries must show
evidence of widespread popular
support of the broad goals of the
programs.
. 1t is most unlikely, if such cri-
terra are enforced, that the whole
of the sums offered would be taken
up. 1t is essential to the plan,
however, that availability of the
full amount be guaranteed in order
to remove capital as a bottleneck
to economic growth and to provide
maximum stimulus for the govern
mentS and peoples of the under
developed countries to expand their
capacities to use capital effectively.
A systematic plan should be
worked out for establishing inter-
national stocks of agricultural sur
pulses to be made available for de-
velopment purposes. Such a plan
must contain certain provisions de-
signed to insure that distribution of
such stocks would not interfere with
the normal markets of exporting
countries.
. Loans and grants should be adj
mlntstered by existing national and
international agencies, including
the Export-Import Bank, the Inter-
national Bank, the Colombo Plan
organization, etc. New machinery
is required. however, to set the
ground rules and lay down the cri-
terra for the investment program.
. The program would include fea-
lures:
l. To restore and maintain an
efficient international division of
labor, insuring for industrial coun-
tries sources of agricultural prod
ucts and raw materials and markets
for their products.
2. To stabilize in the interest of
the supplying countries raw ma
terial and fOodStuff markets and
prices.
3. To liberalize United States
trade policies by progressive stages.
4. To achieve free world currency
convertibility.
5. To achieve a common free
world policy on East-West trade.
Shorp Edge of Policy
This program will not achieve its
basically political and psychological
purposes unless its fundamental
features are preserved. The sharp
edges of policy which must be pre-
served appear to be these:
4AC dOulCAOIldl ouIIlS eIlVlSdBeQ
must be large enough to remove
capital as a bottleneck to growth,
under the tough criteria of pro-
ductivity envisaged.
. There must be no tie between
economic aid and military pactS,
and no explicit political conditions
within the free world beyond the
requirement that development goals
be Economically established. An
aid program with strings yields
satellites, not partners.
. The plan must look to a long
future and envisage a sustained
United States effort.
. There must be a real measure of
international contribution and in
ternational administration.
Without these elements, the pro-
poSal would probably be rejected by
some nations we would wish to see
join in the effort. e.g., India. With
these elements maintained, we be-
lieve this plan will go far toward
restoring and maintaining the unity
of the free world.

Kidnapped Baby Reported Alive In Phone Call

WESTBURY, NY, R-A per- son believed to be the kidnaper of 3-month-old Peter Weinberger telephoned the parents home to- day, saying the baby was alive and well.
 Morris Weinberger, the baby's father, said the call came at 9:40 am. and that he told the caller:
 Am ready to meet your de- mand, awaiting your call"
 It was not made clear just why the response was worded in such fashion, and Weinberger revealed little else about the conversation, or whether he would seek to make private effort to get the baby back.
 Police have said they could not legally pull out of the case, but that their prime concern is the safety of the baby.
 
 Weinberger's son was taken from a carriage at the back of their fashionable home here on "Wednesday afternoon while the mother had stepped into the house moment.
 A note was left, demanding a $2,00O ransom.
 Police baited trap for the kidnaper yesterday with packag- es supposedly containing ransom money but mostly containing pa- per in bill size.
 However, no one showed up to try to take either of two packages placed at spots in the vicinity of the Weinberger home.
 Weinberger, prosperous whole sale drug salesman whose hand some brick and clapboard ranch house is located in Long Island suburb not far east of New York City, said he had the cash ready to turn over to the lkidnaper.

WASHINGTON, R - Alaska, which for the first time will re- ceive it's road money by alloca- tion rather than appropriation, is entitled to $28,6O0, 900 in federal aid for highway construction over the three years.

 Alaska has no mileage in the interstate system but by a special provision written into the laws it will be permitted to match fed eral aid in the other three types of aid on 90-10 basis.

Governor Heintzleman Highlights The July 4th Patriotic Exercises at Nome


 celebration on Independence Day at Nome was the address by Gov. B. Frank Heintzleman who pro- phecied that the pioneering spirit of Alaskans will guide them into becoming a great state.
 He reminded the audience as- sembled on Front Street for the patriotic exercises that the Con- stitution, drawn up early this year, is merely the framework on which to build the state and that it depends on each individual to take an active part in the govern ment.
 We will solve the problems which arise by working together from Ketchikan to Barrow" the governor declared.
 He reviewed some of the pro- lens confronting the state, par ticularly those of this area.
 Gov. Heintzleman said he will work for the restoration of min ing and suggested that a tax in centive could do the same tor mining as it has done for oil in the territory.
 He also said that better water transportation and more access roads will be of major import ance.
 The great need for an armory at Nome was expressed and the community was urged to work toward getting more public as sistance for a National Guard Ar mory so there will be adequate facilities for training, this import ant part of the defense program.
 Among the important problems confronting the new state are those of caring for the mentally ill within the state; welfare and its many categories for the young as well as for aged dependents. He said both funds and facilities must be provided.
 Gov. Heintzleman called atten- tion to the growing juvenile de- linquency problem and the need for institutional care which can no longer be provided for Alaska in the States.
