As IT SEEMS TO A GOVERNOR
Chance for Summit Success

interests of the two nations should
conflict. They argue that most
OF our difficulties arise from mis-
understandings.
In my judgment. neither of
these views is wholly realistic.
Talking is almost always better
than fighting. Despite Russia's
miserable record with regard to
past promises, certain agreements
and understandings have proved
useful. Agreement on the Austrian
Peace Treaty in 1855. for example.
restored the independence of this
proud little country. We must re-
member that the Russians keep
their word whenever they feel
their overall interests are served
thereby.
Three Soviet Aims
What do the Soviet rulers really
want? This is the first question
we must answer if we are to nego-
IIdIe redlStlcally.
A careful analysis of history in
dlcates that the Soviet rulers have
three basic detectives:
First-They wish to maintain
their own position OF power with
in Russia itself.
Second-The Soviet rulers wish
to preserve and strengthen the
monstrous empire they already
control.
Third-The Soviet rulers are de-
termined to expand the Commu-
mist system to encompass the en-
tire world.
A few students of Soviet policy
have insisted that the Soviet rulers
are motiVated almost entirely by
a desire for security, but it is
doubtful that the Soviet rulers
can ever feel truly secure while a
large part of the world remains
free.
This analysis of Soviet behavior
recalls the story of the Texas
rancher who had steadily and
greedily expanded his holdings.
Even after having acquired sew
eral thousand acres of land. he
continued to reach out in all di-
rections. His neighbors bitterly
described him as land hungry"
Il amt land hungry" the
rancher replied heatedly. "An I
want is what adjoins mine" This
is what Russia always wants.
Taking account of the three
basic objectives of the Soviet rul-
ing elite. we should take a closer
look at the opportunities and
hazards we face during the nego-
tiatlons that lie ahead. What
should we talk about? What are
we willing to give and what do We
hope to get? What are the chances
OF successful result?
Tomorrow: What can be ne
gotiated.)

ROCHESTER, Mich. - Right
now Michigan State University
Oakland is just three buildings, a
student body of 535 freshmen, a
faculty of 25-and a dream.
The dream is to start right from
scratch and build MSU-O into one
of the Nations greatest institu-
tions of higher learning. The real
lists who are building on that
dream haven't any doubt they will
succeed.
Even before the first classes
opened last fall the goal was clear:
They're out to produce eggheads.
Not just from the gifted and the
brilliant, but from any reasonably
able youngster who is willing to
work
MSU-O is a sister, but no twin,
of Michigan State University at
East Lansing, a pioneer in devel-
oping vocational courses in agri-
culture, applied science and the
mechanical arts. It's hard to i'm
agine two members of the same
academic family going in such
opposite directions.
At MSU-O the emphasis is on
learning, not training; on ideas,
not techniques.
For nearly a century the trend
in American colleges and univer-
sites has been away from the
humanities, and toward a narrow
specialization. Many have become
mere trade schools, and have
grown soft in the process.
Unorthodox Policies
Here at MsU-O they have re-
versed the trend.
Consider:
Every student must take at least
half his courses in liberal arts.
Required of all are stiff, one-year
courses in English literature and
rhetoric, history and development
of western civilization, history
and philosophy of science, and
study Of contemporary non-weSt-
ern cultures, with emphasis on
the Far East, Africa and Latin
America.
Every student must MASTER

guage, preferably Russian. French

certainty is aggravated by a great
deal of fuzzy thinking on our part.
There are grounds for suspicion
that the Western nations are en-
tering the current series of nego-
tiationS without any clear idea Of
what we hope to gain, what we
are willing to concede and where
we expect to come out.
If this suspicion is valid, the
consequence may be tragic. 1t is
highly dangerouS-almost criminal
to sit down for serious talks with
Russian leaders without first hav-
ing a sharp appreciation of the
limitations, risks, and opportu-
mites involved.
Perhaps some of our State De-
partment experts have this knowl-
edge, but. if so, they have failed
to share it with the general public
which must ultimately pass judg-
ment on all significant issues of
foreign policy.
Two Divergent View
In travelling about the United
States, one often encounters two
widely divergent views on nego-
tiations with the Soviet govern
ment. First is the view that such
negotiations are useless at best
and potentially disastrous. Those
who hold this view stress Russia S
long record of broken promises
and usually express the fear that
United States negotiators will be
taken in by Soviet trickery.
Those who hold the opposite
view tend to regard negotiation
as a magic formula which can
solve all problems. They point
out that the Russian and Amer
lean people have the same human
needs, desires. and fears, and that
there is no logical reason why the

and Russian are being offered this
year, Greek, Latin and German
will be added next year.
There are only four fields Of
study: Liberal arts, engineering
science, business administration
and teacher education. In each
field the emphasis is on depth,
not vast variety of splinter
courses on the same subject.
Perhaps the real KEY to the
MSU-O plan is the freedom given
the individual student.
For example, no roll call is
taken in class. 1t is assumed the
student is there to learn. If he
can do better outside class than
in. the official view is good for
him"
Students are encouraged to do
independent study and research.
and to work together in small
groups.
No Time for FiIIs
No other State university. and
very few private schools, is so
demanding of its students. There
Is no time for frills or fol-de-rol,
students are expected to be on
the campus from 8 am. until s
pm, and most have four or five

are urged to work at outside Jobs

cellor. They were demanding too
much. too soon. Perhaps it was a
conscious effort to make it tough. :"
The students who f1unked were
given a chance to repeat the
course and erase their failure.
More than two-thirds of them
did so.
There are no snap courses

Warner. "All of them are tough.

average citizen needs no unusual
insight to understand that all-out
warfare with modern weapons is
tantamount to human suicide.
In a continuing search for
peace, our Government has en-
barked rather abruptly upon a
series of negotiations with the
Soviet Union. These negotiations
are being conducted on various
subjects and at various levels:
In November, 1859, there came
an announcement that the United
States and 10 other governments
had reached agreement with
Russia on treaty establishing
new international regime in the
Antarctic.
In early December there came
word from U. N. headquarters in
New York that Russia had at last
agreed to cooperate with other
members of the U. N. in connection
with the peaceful uses of outer
space.
In Geneva, Western and Soviet
technicians have made substantial
progress toward a mutually sat-
isfactory system for policing a
permanent ban on nuclear testing.
Most important of all, of course,
are the Summit" talks between
Western and Soviet heads Of
government now scheduled for
May, 1860, which will engage the
avid attention of the entire world.
No Sure Things
What do we expect to result
from this series of negotiations?
Can we actually terminate the
cold war and get rid of the enor-
nous burden of ornaments and
other costs which flow from that
struggle?

munist world is fraught with un-

seven were only partially met
or :. delayed" and only five were
totally rejected.
The Department Of Agriculture,
in an angry rebuttal, said the
report to Senator Symington gave
"a distorted picture" of the facts
by ignoring resistance and delays
in putting administration recon-
mendations into effect, omitting
a number of specific requests and
failing to take account of pro-
grams passed by Congress despite
administration objections.
The department ran it's own
analysis of the 1953-1958 period
and found 13-not five-proposals
on which no action was taken by
Congress. In 1859, a year not COW
cred by the Library of Congress
study, the Department said Con-
gress approved only one of its
10 major proposals.
If 1t IS true that Congress has
blocked key parts of the PreSi-
dents farm program, it is equally
true that Mr.. Eisenhower has re-
fused to approve major Demo-
cratic proposals. He has vetoed
four farm bills so far-omnibus
price support measures in 1856
and 1858 and wheat and tobacco
bills last year.
Biportison Support
About the only measures which
have won enthusiastic bipartisan
support are those to deal with
farm surpluses. particularly the
giant overseas sales and donation
program known as Public Law
48O.
The irony is that this program
would not be needed if the meas
ures to curb excessive domestic
production had not failed.
The Illustration at this failure
is felt by both parties. Republi-
cans, if they had their way, un-
doubtedly would have moved
faster and farther to reduce price
supports and remove production
controls - the steps they think
will bring supply and demand into
better balance.
If they were not confronted
with the threat or the reality
Of a presidential veto, the Demo-
Gratis undoubtedly would have
tried one or more of the solu-
tions their members propose:
higher supports tied to stricter
controls; multi-price systems de-
pending on the use of the crop;
a direct payments plan; or a
self-help system run by farmers
themselves.

President Eisenhower's chal-
Ienge last week to the Democratic
Congress to come up with a con-
structive" solution for the wheat
surplus problem marked the OPEN
ing of a new phase in the long
political struggle over the farm
problem.
For six years. Democrats have
been making hay-and votes =
out Of the charge that Secretary
of Agriculture Benson is to blame
for the mess in agriculture.
Their gains in farm belt elections
have been impressive.
Now the Republicans appear
determined to fight back. by sad
ding the Democrats in Congress
with the responsibility for the
price support laws that are in
such low repute.
With costs and Surpluses
mounting while farm income de-
clines. the Democrats are under
standably reluctant to shoulder
the blame.
Puts Blame on Congress
The cue for the new Republican
campaign was given late last
December in a speech by Don
Paarlberg, a former Benson aide
who now serves as a special assist
ant to the President.
Almost nobody defends the
farm legislation on the books"
Mr. Paarlberg told the American
Farm Economic Association. THE
pertinent point is that this legis-
lation was put there by the Con-
gress. If it is to be changed, it
must be changed by the Congress"
Pointing out that Democrats
have controlled Congress for the
last five years and for % of the
last 26 years, Mr.. Paarlberg said:
Present farm legislation does not
represent the policies of this ad-
mlnlstratlon. On the con-
trary, it must represent the farm
policies of the majority party (the
Democrats, since that party put
1t on the books and left it there
despite having the power to
change it,"
In rebuttal, Democrats have
pointed out that the G, o. P, has
not always been so eager to dis
own the work Of Congress in the
farm field. Instead, they contend,
Republicans were quite willing to
take credit for the farm bills of
1854, 1856 and 1958-until they
turned sour.
Price-Supports Move
The 1854 law-passed by a Re-
publican Congress - ended the
wartime system of high, rigid price
supports for corn, cotton, wheat,
rice and peanuts. The 1856 law
passed by a Democratic Con-
gresS-started the soil bank plan
for retiring excess crop land from
production.
In 1855 campaign speeches.
President Eisenhower denied that
Democrats deserved credit for
originating the soil bank idea and
identified 1856 as "the first full
year in which this administra-
tion's farm programs have op-
Grated" AS a result, he said,
farm prices this year have begun
to rise without the cruel assistance
Of wartime demands . and this
is the first time this has hap
pened since World War H."
In 1858. another Democratic
Congress passed bill ending pro-
duction controls on corn and ex-
tending Secretary Benson's flexible
