Tough Job in State Department

Of millions to submergeY the
Red waves in these areas, will
not be suficient. What is re-
Quired Is q comprehensive
policy which could restore
the once high prestige and
confidence of our neighbors
in American power and dis
interested good will.
A similar policy will be
required in the Far East
where the Chinese, after the
Moscow conference which
lasted four weeks. apparently
not only have been given
a free hand but have been
promised complete diplo-
matte support by Chairman
Khrushchev. The first in
dication Of this understand
Ing came out when Moscow
accused the United States
OF preventing the unity
Of the two Koreas and de-
manded the withdrawal of
the United Nations forces
from South Korea. These
forces are almost exclusively
American for, besides the
two American divisions, there
are only a few hundred men
from other U. N. members
who participated In the war.
The Soviet demand was
only a curtain raiser. Since
Syngman Rhee was over
thrown last April, the Com
munists have been active in
South Korea, agitating espe-
cially among the students for
the unity Of Korea through q
plebiscite controlled by "neu-
trails" from the U. N. It is
fully expected that before the
end Of the present session of
the General Assembly the
Soviet delegate will present
a demand that neutrals from
Africa, the Middle East and
India supervise such a plebi-
scite. The present ROK gov
ernment is not favorably dis
posed toward such a solution.
But it is usually powerless IN
the face Of student demands.
Unity Of Korea under such
circumstances would bring
about the same problem
which faced us when the
North Korean invasion began
in 1850. Such a unified
Korea" would once more be
a dagger at the heart Of
Japan.

Lake Vessel
Hit byStorm
Makes Port

SAULT STE. MARIE, Mich.
Dec. 10 (AP).-The Canadian
grain freighter Starbelle. a
tough little old lady Of the
sea, limped safely into port
here last night IL hours after
a storm on treacherous Lake
Superior cracked her hull and
deck.
The 25O-foot, 47-year-old
Starbelle passed through the
500 Locks about midnight to
drop anchor after battling
down from mid-lake under
her own power. She was es-
corted by a pair Of Coast
Guard cutters.
The grain carrier, less than
half the size Of many of the
freighters which ply the Great
Lakes trade routes, had sent
out a trouble call when ver-
tical cracks developed on both
sides of her hull and a trans
verse cash opened in a super
structure deck. The skipper,
Capt. D. H. Mcfarland, re-
ported his vessel and the 20
crewn1en were in no immedi-
ate danger unless the cracks
opened.
The 18-inch long, 1-inch
wide gaps in the hull plates
were above the water line.
The Starbelle was empty and
rode high out Of the water.
AS a precaution, Capt. Nc
Farland had the crew tie one
inch wire mooring lines across
the main deck to take the
strain off the cracked plates.
The Starbelle was near mid
lake, riding upbound, when the
cracks were discovered. Capt.
Mcfarland ordered the freight
er put about to return to Sault
Ste. Marie and radioed his
predicament.

RALPH WcsILL
Union Plan for Four Churches

DR.. Blake's proposal came
just a few hours after the
Archbishop Of Canterbury
had met for more than an
hour in Rome with Pope
John xXIII. Theirs was o
meeting of two Christians.
1t was hedged about by pro-
tocol. But 1t was a major
fact.
It should not be overlooked
that this historic meeting
and DR.. Blake's compelling
recommendation, took place
at a time when the Commu-
mist powers of the world were
concluding their meeting In
Moscow.
They. too. had differences.
That these were difficult ts
obvious from the earlier news
releases and from the open
disagreement expressed in
the Chinese and Soviet news
papers.
The Communists, however.
reached a decision Of unity.
It is a gargantuan piece Of
irony that an theology based
on materialism and a rejec-
tion of a spiritual qualities
and the existence Of God,
should be able to attain such
a powerful unity while the
Christian world re IN aims
splintered. 't' -
This is especially true when
one considers that the major
Protestant, Orthodox and
Roman Churches have a
common basic catholic bond
in the Sacraments Of Bap-
tism and the Eucharist. The
Roman Church has its own
universal or Catholic ritual.
So do the Eastern and major
Protestant Churches. They
are all catholic in Christian
belief. That there cannot be
greater Christian unity Is q
growing rebuke.
Evening star., 1960-12-10

All Christianity was dam
aged-the Roman and Prot
estant Churches alike. The
actions Of some persons made
the Christian church appear
in a preposterous position.
This is a luxury organized
Christianity cannot afford.
None can deny DR.. Blake's
conclusions:
II recall the ISSUE" he said,
Ito remind you that one re-
suit is clear. Every Christian
Church-Protestant, Ortho-
dox, Anglican and Roman
Catholic--has been weakened
by 1t. Never before have so
many Christian churches
been divided. as Americans
agree that they are. They
cannot be trusted to bring to
the American people an OBJ
jective and authentic word of
God on a political issue.
Americans more than ever
see the churches of Jesus
Christ as competing social
groups. pulling and hauling.

ing for their own organiza-
tional advantages -. -
Our culture. our civiliza-
ton. our world leadership are
under the materialistic threat
of Marxist communism. But
our culture becomes increas-
ingly secular, our civilization
becomes increasingly deea-
dent, and our world leader
ship becomes increasingly
confused precisely because
their Christian foundations
are undermined and eroded.
And our divided churches, all
more and more sectarian in
fact, are all therefore. less

Internal Reorganization and a Shying
From Tradition Held Secretorys Task
CONSTANTINE BROWN

There is no doubt in the
minds Of the candidates be-
ing considered for Secretary
Of State in the Kennedy ad-
ministration that the job will
be far more exacting and diff
ficult than at any other time
in United States history.
1t must be assumed on the
basis of views expressed pri-
vately by the President-elect
that he will follow the Frank
lin Roosevelt pattern and will
himself make all major
foreign policy decisions.
One Of the most important
missions of the new secretary
will be the internal reorgani-
cation Of the State Depart
ment and the men in charge
of the various global aeeas.
This was sadly neglected by
the late Secretary Dulles, who
concentrated exclusively on
major policy making. Condi-
tions in the department itself
and in the field have de-
Perforated further under Sec
retary Herter.
The overall pattern for all
branches of the administra-
ton. again according to those
close to Senator Kennedy will
be to shy away from anything
even vaguely smacking of ira
dition. We are living in q
world. so our new President
thinks, in which tradition is
obsolete. Traditional economic
and social concepts, tradi-
tional military thinking and,
of course, traditional diplorn-
acy in the face of the present
revolutionary thinking must
all go out the window.
It must be admitted that
our present diplomatic re-
cession is even more severe
than in the economic fields.
The latter can be solved by
applying initiative and vi
sion. This country has vast
riches which properly ham
died can bring about a great
Improvement in our declin-
ing economic position in the
world. But the diplomatic
slump Is more difficult to
handle and will require q

lieves it unreasonable to spend
big sums to bolster military
morale. as Congress has done
by approving numerous career
incentive measures. If the ef-
feet Of the legislation is to be

greater application of intel
ligence and imagination.
The free world is on the
defensive while the Commu-
mist bloc is everywhere on
the offensive. This condition
cannot be remediedsby q Sc
ries of summit meetings as
number Of American and
British political men seem
to believe.
The Russian Chinese bloc,
which despite much wishful
thinking by Western diplo-
mats continues to remain
solid. is busily engaged in ex-
panding its hold by strong
policies In Africa, Asia and
Latin America. It has aban-
doned, for the time being at
least, any direct actions in
Western Europe. While our
allies are concerned with
the African situation which
affects their former posses.
sions in that area, they are
Indifferent to what is hap
pening in Asia and Latin
America, two areas of vital
Importance to us.
In Latin America the Rus
sian Chinese bloc has made
deep and unexpected inroads.
The present administration
by its impassivity and naivete
permitted and assisted the
establishment of a Commu-
mist regime in Cuba. Those
in positions Of responsibility
in the State Department were
SO bitterly opposed to the
Batista and Trujillo type Of
dictatorship that they did
not realize that the Castro
type (Moscow's stooge) would
be even more damaging to
the cause for which we have
been fighting for at least a
quarter of a century-opposi-
ton to relationships of any
brand.
The success of the Com
munists In Cuba has had
chain reactions in various
degrees all over Latin Amer
lea from Mexico to Brazil
and Argentina. There Is no

Canada Wants
Cuban Trade

OTTAWA, Dec. 10 (AP).-
Trade Minister George Hees
said yesterday he welcomes an
nounced plans by Cuba's Fidel
Castro regime to boost pur-
chases in Canada to $3.50 mil
lion next year.
Mr.. Hees' statement followed
a 30-minute meeting with a
Cuban trade delegation opening
q round Of talks aimed at re-
placing In Canada some of
Cuba's lost trade with the
United States. --4a.
Mr.. Hees said he is confident
"a trade increase will mate
rialize to a large extent"
Canadian sales to Cuba last
year totaled only $l5.25 million.
Cuban Economics Minister Re-
gino Boti, who heads the trade
delegation. said the Castro re-
gime hopes to increase the fig
ure tenfold.
The Cuban drive for more
business with Canada results
primarily from the United
States trade embargo imposed
on Castro last October. The
embargo covers all United
States goods except essential
foodstuffs and medical sup
plies.
Mr.. Boti said Cuba is in
terested in purchasing live
stock. wheat. newsprint, spare
parts for vehicles and equip
ment for Cuba's nationalized
sugar mills.
The sugar mills, many owned
by United States interests, are
particularly hard-pressed for
parts and equipment.
Mr.. Boti emphasized the mis-
sion Is prepared to discuss cash
purchases. Asked by reporters
about possible credit arrange
ments, he answered, I'VE
