Parity a Medieval Concept

reducing their commercial farm
operations and making their
chief incomes from other work
while keeping their families on
the home farm whose products
contribute greatly to their liv-
ings. Farmers are the only
businessmen not required by
law to keep books. and their
real increment does not show
UP In the statistics.
Much can be done to help
farmers who are victims Of the
chronological revolution. They
need to be assisted into other
employment. Increased indus
trial decentralization would
keep more Of them on part
time farms. But interference
with the price structure. or
even 100 per cent Of parity. will
not stop the dynamic process.
There is no crisis in agricul-
twe as a whole. In produc-
tivity. prosperity. assets over
liabilities. and dynamic prog
ress American agriculture, as
a whole. leads the world.
Daily we are reminded that
the Soviet industrial economy
Is catching UP with ours, but
not even the Soviets suggest
that their collectivized farming
is even beginning to catch UP

effort, ingenuity. and scientific
invention.

talks here last week between Mr.
Eisenhower and British Prime
Minister Eden.
One of their decisions was to
join in reviews of articles pro-
Inhibited in trade with Red China
on the. part of countries which
are cooperating in a general
effort to keep war-making goods
out of the hands Of the Chinese
Communists.
Ceylon was not one Of thu
countries which had co-operatec
in this effort. In fact. Ceylor
has presented q contradiction il
policies for a long time.
In June. 1851, when all sort
of economic pressures were being
applied to the Chinese Reds
Ceylon announced it would con-
tinue to trade with them. Ceylor
said it was sorry the Unitet
States was worried.
On the other hand. the Cey
Ilonese have not established dip
llomatic relations with the Red
land they have followed a de-
Iterminedly anti-Communist pol
icy. American officials credited
ia Ceylonese prime minister, ST
John Kotelawala. with doinl
much to save the anti-Com'
munist cause in the face of Rec
Chinese attacks during thu
Afro-Asian conference at Ban
dung last spring.

lmended by the Joint chiefs are
criticized by partisan enthusiasts
for one service or another as
having arisen for dividing-up-
the-pie." the admiral said.
Some critics say-one combat
wing for the Air Force, two air.
craft and a carrier for the Navy
and a half a division to the
Army. plus small dividend for
the Marines, as though dividing
up the pie would make everyone
happy.
But such criticism is as I'M
founded as it is ridiculous.
Situations Vary
He went on to say that if the
military chieftains could guar
Iantee that any one of the armed
services could protect the Ma
ton by itself I'VE would SUBJ
scribe enthusiastically to the
proposition"
And if we could determine
definitely that any particular
element of one service were un-
necessary. we would scrap it and
Iput the money into something
else" he continued.
But we cannot. No one weap-
on or one service or one form
of military action is considered
sufficient to meet all our Sc
curity needs"
Therefore, Admiral Radford
said, forces must be maintained
which can be used in a variety
of situations.
Our forces must stand ready
to cope with limited wars waged
by Communist satellites or a
World War III, if one should
be forced upon u.s." he said
Currently our primary emphasis
is on airpower."
Necessary Investment"
Admiral Radford called the
arms aid given Americas allies
"a necessary investment"
For an indefinite period-and
that may be very long time
our job is to stay strong and to
help our allies stay strong" he
declared.
The most recent criticism has
come from retired Gen. Mat

articles.

States announcement that the
balloon program had been halted
pending investigation.
Mr.. Litoshko's article charged
the balloon operation had been
assessed as a gross violation Of
international law and an open
infringement of national sover-
eighty.
He denied American state
ments that the balloons are not
a danger to air transport or
human life, with a contention
that numerous facts utterly re-
flute this argument.
In the meantime, the states
men will go on trying to decide
who controls the air space over

For Decision on
U. 5. Arms Aid

Israeli Ambassador Abba Eban
called at the State Department
today to press the United States
for an immediate decision on
Israel's request for permission to
buy about $50 million worth of
American arms.
Mr.. Eban conferred with

tary of State for Middle Eastern
Affairs.
Israel sought an American de-
cision on the arms request be-
fore Secretary of State Dulles
leaves Friday for a trip to the

ISraeliS scoffed at the idea that
the sale Of American arms to the
Jewish state at this time would
speed an arms race which Israel
could not win.

Israeli circles tell news re-
Iporters that it is irrelevant to
say Israel cannot win an arms
race. The Israeli goal Is described
not as an arms race but a de-
tense capable Of withstandine
la tack from its potential
enemies.
Israeli circles argue that, in
computing the military potential
of the Arabs and Jews, diplomats
should count only the healthy,
|literate and trained persons on
either side who can fight with
modern weapons. Under this
computation. Israelis say, the
Arabs hold no more than a two
to-one numerical superiority.
Threshold Of Peace
Israelis also point to the pub
licly expressed American hope
that diplomatic means may lead
to a Middle Eastern peace.
Israelis say they have no convic-
ton that they are standing on
the threshold Of peace with

They contend that continuous
