Summit Bound

II is too late now for the United
States to turn. back from the journey
to the summit. The journey may prove
to be futile, or more than futile. Even
80, the consequences, at this late hour,
Of an American refusal to participate
would be worse.
For Mr.. Khrushchev, the net result
Of all this is major diplomatic triumph.
Instead Of being cast as the villain Of
the piece, which ought to be his role,
he is quite likely to emerge as the hero
possibly as the man who saved the world
from war and certainly as the champion
and the leading advocate Of the Arab
cause.
All Of this will work great injus-
tice to the United States and its Western
allies. Our Intervention in the Middle
East was not aggression, as Mr.. Khru-
shchev charges. 1t was step that was
taken reluctantly, with the best of in
tentions, and it was not in violation
Of the U. N. Charter. The Russians,
however, have very skillfully turned the
propaganda tables against us. The TO
menter of trouble in the Middle East
has managed to emerge as the prospec-
tive savior Of the peace, while we are
looked upon in the Arab world, and per-
haps in other parts Of the world, as
posing the threat Of war.
All Of this, to repeat, is a gross in
Justice. The propaganda damage has
been done, however, and we must be
careful not to compound 1t. We cannot
afford to bubble over the conditions"
set by Mr.. Khrushchev-espec his
eleventh-hour call for participation Of
Arab leaders in the discussions. Instead,
the wiSeSt course for us would be to
make the best Of bad business-to go
to this summit meeting in a spirit Of
willingness to cooperate, and to refrain
from any appearance of foot-dragging.
No sensible person can have conf
dence in the good faith or good inten-
lions Of the Russians. 1t is necessary
to assume that Mr.. KhruShchev will
come to New York, if that finally proves
to be the site, for the sole pur-
pose Of promoting Russian interests
to strengthen his position as the friend"
of the Arabs and to expand Russia'S
foothold in the Middle East. We should
not make it easier for him by refusing
to attend the meeting, or by haggling
over inconsequential details. Instead,
our purpose should be to present our
own case in the very best light, and
to explore any possibility for construc-
tive negotiation. There may be such
a possibility in Mr.. KhruShchev's init
nation that he would like to hold UNI
off1cial, private talks with Mr.. Eisen-
hover. If he really wants a discussion
of this kind we should welcome it. For
1t is difficult to see how such private
meeting can do any harm, and it is
barely possible that it may do some good.

Played Havoc With Trade
When Congress insisted
upon putting through gen.

system Of you scratch my
back and I'll scratch yours"
was In effect-it played havoc
with international trade.
Further, after the close Of
World War I. when Europe
economically was fat on its
back. the Smoot : Hawley
Tariff Act was put through,
raising tariffs on many items.
The effect was TO stifie trade
with the nations which owed
US money and to make i'm
possible the economy of
those countries. It added to
and increased the impetus
which ended in the great
depression, in which our
economy went to the dogs.
Trade is a two-way street

duction costs, we grant
measures Of protection to
some Of our industries and

Of legislation were the So

Of the Nations disease fight

giving attention to cancer,
multiple sclerosis, cystic A.

other major diseases.
DR.. John w. Cline, San
Francisco surgeon, speaking
at the l07th meeting of the
American Medical AsSocia-
ton, charged that the So
called united charity drives
minimize medical research,
which the agencies conduct
ing separate drives emphasize
in their operational pro-
grams. He said that big
single drives allot for re-

sums the individual disease
fighting organizations are
able to collect for their work.
The ANA passed a resolution

ing major incurable diseases.
Everyone deplores the null
tiplicity Of charity drives, but
all of us should be heart
broken at the prevalence of
diseases for which research
may some day find preven-
tive or cure. How could DR..
Salk and his dedicated asso-

In the meddlesome mind,

This is the paradox Of man.

Challenge

I challenge Lawrence Sal
eeby's letter. High Cost Of
Drugs" which appeared July
is. ! take exception to his
statement that the drug in
dustry has not taken advan-
tage of modern production
methods. Many drugs and
medicines are mass produced,
but a drug intended for
human consumption cannot
be produced on an assembly
line like an automobile or
other consumer goods. The
systems Of quantity and
quality control which are
employed in the manufacture
Of medicinals are most strict
and rigid. For one product
alone it may take months
and even years Of testing and
retesting before it may be
considered for mass produc-
ton. These rigid tests must
insure proper dosage and
purity before any product is
offered to the Food and Drug
Administration for final APP
proval. 1t is these tedious and
cautious procedures which
add cost to the finished
product.
How can Mr.. Saleeby say
that the medical and phar-
maceutical professions prey
upon the public? The adj
vances in the production of
modern medicinals have been
as dramatic as those ad-
vances in the fields of nuclear
and space science. As statis-
tics indicate. two decades ago
1000 children died every
year OF whooping cough. Last
year only $40 children died
OF whooping cough. What
explains the difference? It's
the new wonder drugs, un-
known two decades ago.
Priceless drugs? Sure! Yet
the price Of the average pre-
scription hasn't gone up any
more in 20 years than has the
price of a pound Of coffee.

We can all recall the Juror
raised by the Communist
and liberal press about the
methods" of the late Sena-
tor Mccarthy in his invests
cation of Communists in
Government, which they la
beled "McCarthyism." How
ever, we hear nothing but a
profound silence about the
methods of "HarrisiSm" in
the attempt to piIlory Sher-
man Adams. The plugging"
Of the hotel room Of Bernard
Goldflne: the rifiing Of his
secretary's room and theft
of documents, and the in
vitation to John Fox to
use the Harris committee
hearings as a public forum
to vent his spleen and level
unsubstantiated C argos
against Goldfine and Adams
makes the Mccarthy meth
DDS pale into insignificance.
The latest evidence" uncov-
cred by the Harris sleuths is
43 phone calls that Goldf1ne
made to Adams. which posi-
lively proves that Sherman
Adams was peddling influ-
ence. How silly can they get?
Apparently the Mccarthy
methods of investigation,
used in the service of ones
country. are highly improper,
while the Harris methods,
however reprehensible. when
used in the service Of ones
political party, are above re-
proach.

THE POLITICAL MILL
NotionoI View of Issues HELPS
By GOULD LINCOLN

HYANNIS. Mass. - The
Middle East situation APP
parently IL driving members
OF Congress 10 consider
measures Of vital Importance
from the point Of view OF ma
tional rather than local In
terests. The latest and most
significant evidence Of this Is
found In the passage Of the
reciprocal trade agreements
extension bill by the Senate.
The powerful Senate FL
nance Committee. In report
ing the bill TO the Senate, had
included q number Of amend
ments that would have
vitality cut down President
Eisenhower's power TO deal
with tariffs and quotas and
so restrict liberal and free
international trade. The most
serious OF these was the So
called Kerr amendment,
offered by the Senator from
Oklahoma. II this amend
ment had been adopted, II
would mean the President
would have had TO go to Con-
gress TO sustain his veto OF a
Tariff Commission decision
granting higher tariff duties
or quotas. Fortunately, the
Senate reversed its commit
tee sharply on this amend
ment. Indeed. the impressive
victory Of the administration,
50 to "a, was not expected;
the impression prevailed that
the vote would be much
closer.
LogrOIling Threat
Had this Kerr amend
ment prevailed, and had the
House Of Representatives
been willing to accept 1t,
the old system Of logrolling
in effect a quarter-century
ago would have been re-
stored. Members of Congress
were able to force into tar
III bills higher duties on par
ticular items Of import by
the simple expedient Of agree
ing to vote for higher duties
on imports in which other
members Of Congress were in
terested. This old system,
which led to the comment
"the tariff is a local ISSUE"
rose frequently above prin-
ciple and caused the cross
ing Of party lines. Its effect
was TO raise tariffs and re-
strain free trade.
The first Reciprocal Trade
Agreements Act was passed to
put an end to this system.
No tariff bill-general tar
i'll revision bill-has been
advocated by any President
or offered in Congress since
that time. This does not
mean, however, that the high
protectionists have not tried
again and again to have the
Reciprocal Agreements Act
amended. Further. they have
been able to prevent any long
extension Of the life of the
act, making 1t necessary to
pass new extension bills at
least once every two years.
President Eisenhower recon-
mended this year an extern
sion Of the act by i've years
and also q freer hand in fix
ing tariff duties after investi-
