The OAS in Choroe

During yesterdays Cuban debate
before the United Nations Security
Council, Arkady Sobolev, the Soviet dele
gate, violently attacked our country with
venomouS libelS, and he warned us not
to touch Cuba. The response he re-
ceived, however, was perhaps bit more
than he had bargained for. It consisted
not only of Ambassador Lodges firm
answer, but also of striking statement
from Jose Correa, of Ecuador, the Coun-
cil'S President for July.
Taking note of Mr.. Sobolevs wild
charge about United States "open inter-
ference" in Latin American countries.
Ambassador Correa bluntly declared: 81
must Solemnly deny such an assertion"
And then he went on to speak of the
excellent relations that have existed
between us and all the other Americas
under the good neighbor policy for the
past quarter of century. Finally, with
reference to the Kremlin'S suggestion
that Communist Russia might intervene
on the side of Cuba, the Council Presi-
dent had these significant words to saw:
The Latin American countries will
fight for non-intervention against any
attempt to violate it-I repeat-will
fight against any attempt to violate the
principle of non-intervention. If
any power, whether near or far-espe-
clally II 1t is distant poWer-Should
attempt to take advantage of our
friendly attitude to tell us what we are
to do whether for our protection or
otherwise, the only thing that shall be
accomplished will be the achieve
01nnt itHyo o,nl Ia
on the part of our peoples
Moreover, in keeping with this
"leaVe-the-Am Americas alone" declaration,
the Council by vote of 9 to 0 Russia
and Poland abstaining) decided to trans
fer the Cuban issue from the u. N. to the
21-nation Organization of American
States. This is the right and proper
place for dealing with the Castro re-
gime'S charges against our country. For
the controversy falls clearly within the
great area covered by our hemisphere
treaty system, and the OAS is uniquely
well equipped to strive for an amicable
settlement, if one is at all possible.
In any event, in search Of such a
settlement, the OAS has decided to call
meeting of the foreign ministers of
the Fl American republics, and the re-
suits of this meeting will be reported in
due course to the U. N. Security Council
This is Salutary arrangement that
promises to serve, the cause of peace.
Beyond that, it has the virtue of en-
.phaSizing that the Americas are deter
mined to handle their own problems in
their own way within the framework of
the inter-American system.

Capital Transit Agency

Although the bill creating Federal
agency to develop Washington area
rapid transit system is not all that the
administration had hoped, President
Eisenhower very properly has signed it
into law. Despite its deficiencies, the
new act recognizes for the first time the
urgent need for effective transit to pre-
serve the well-being of the Nations
Capital, and pledges Federal support in
its development. In years to come, this
may we'll prove to be one of the most
significant pieces of legislation in the
ctty'S history.
The job now ahead, on which the
White House fortunately is already at
work, is to find an administrator and
deputy to organize the new agency. This
will be no easy chore, for few transit

rect program of this magnitude, and
the salary limits $4,000 for the top
job) may make it difficult to attract
those who are. The possibility of
change in administration in January
also will complicate recruitment, for
this will mean the top appointments
cannot be assured for more than five
months. The organizational steps, how
ever, should be started at the earliest
date possible.
1t will be quite while, of course,
before any of us takes his first Washing
ton subway ride. But the gratifying de-
ciSions by both the Congress and the
administration within the past few
monthS-and their promises of future
action-have frightened that prospect

Chonqe in Japan

In electing Hayato Ikeda to replace
NobuSuke KiShi as Prime Minister, the
Liberal-Democratic majority of the Jap
anese Parliament (Diet) has chosen an
exceptionally able man to head what is
essentially caretaker government. Al
though some observers in Tokyo suggest
that he is not likely ever to win per-
sonal popularity contest, they stress at
the same time that he is highly re-
Spected by his countrymen, including
even his bittereSt political foes among
the Communists and low-traveling
left-wing Socialists.
This respect stems from the fact
that Mr.. Ikeda, an outstanding econo-
mist, has established an excellent record
both as policymaker and an admins
TRAITOR throughout the postwar period.
Thus, among other things, he is to be
credited with having played leading
part in helping our American occupa-
tion regime to put Japan on the road
to- an economic comeback comparable to
West Germany's. Beyond that, as a be-
tiever in liberal trade policies, the new
Prime Minister has indicated that he
favors trying to do as much business as
possible with Communist China and the
Soviet Union. But he has made clear
that he realizes how difficult it is to
work out fair and profitable deals with
them without getting tangled up in
lot of potentially Strangling political
strings.
Mr.. Ikeda, who has served with dis
tinction in recent years as Minister of
International Trade and Industry, is
generally regarded as being quite as pro-
Western and pro- american as Mr.. Kishi.
So he, too, may find himself, during his
caretaker rule, having to cope with Com
munist-led mob demonstrations repre-
Senting only small minority of the
Japanese people. However, he is said
to be an admirably fortnight, tough
minded and courageous man resolved
to safeguard Japan'S interests against
the forces of Subversion 1t may we'll be,
therefore, that he will remain in his
present office as result of the new ma
tional elections expected to be held in
the fall.

No Draft In Sight

Although there is talk of growing
draft Rockefeller activity" it is becom-
Ing increasingly difficult, or so 1t seems
to us, to think of the New York Governor
as the Republican presidential candi-
date.
His televiSed press conference GER
tainly did nothing to promote his presi-
Dental prospects. The Governor did not
handle himself with skill or grace. He
said he would not consider running for
the vice presidency positively and alb
Solutely." He has said as much before,
put this emphatic reiteration is not
going to endear him to those Republican
leaders who profess to believe that a
Nixon Rockefeller slate would be a
dream ticket"
Finally, and of top Importance,
Governor Rockefeller does not talk or
act like Republican. He sounds like
1850 vintage New Dealer, and if there
has been any significant sentiment for
a G. o. P. ticket headed by him, it has
escaped our attention. The probabilities
are that the rank-and-f1le Republicans
-GIle UdChUoHe VI IIle pdIIy-WOulu Ue
dismayed with the Governor as their
candidate.
Mr.. Rockefeller has demonstrated
vote-getting ability in New York and he
may appeal to the So-called independent
voters. But If there is no demand for
him among the mass of Republicans,
and we do not think there is, he is not
going to be drafted" next week in
Chicago.

THE POLITICAL MILL
Rockefeller, the Lively Enidmo
By GOULD LINCOLN

CHICAGO, July 21-Gov.
Nelson A. Rockefeller re-
mains the chief enigma of
the Republican Party and its
national convention which
opens here on Monday. AL
though it is virtually certain
Vice President Nixon will be
the COP. nominee for
President, Gov. Rockefeller
remains at least a willing
candidate. The New York
Governor has said he will
not accept a vice presidential
nomination under any con-
ditionS." but there are Repub-
lican leaders who are won-
dering whether he might not
change his mind in the end.
Gov. Rockefeller, in his
appearance before the plat
form committee yesterday,
strongly urged the adoption
of a liberal document. In ad-
vocating this kind of plat
form, the Governor said it
was "a time for daring"
Some of his views clash with
those of the Eisenhower
administration. How far they
clash with the views of Mr..
Nixon is not entirely clear.
Mr.. Nixon has indicated
he will not halt with the
ideas and accomplishments
of the Eisenhower admins
tration. President Eisenhower
himself has said that Mr..
Nixon would be foolish to
stand pat and not build fur
ther. The thought is in some
Republican minds that Mr..
Rockefeller when the plat
form is finally drafted, may
find it acceptable, even
though it does not include all
OF his proposals.
Could Change Mind
While Mr.. Nixon's close
associates say they are TAX
ing Gov. Rockefeller at his
word that he does not want
and will not accept second
place on the ticket, there
are Republicans who feel
that if the New York Cover
nor is given enough in the
platform, he might change
his mind. Indeed, should the
platform prove to be accept
able to the Governor. he
would not have leg to stand
on in continuing his refusal
After all, the differences
between Mr.. Rockefeller and
Mr.. Nixon are not as severe
as we're the differences be-
tween Senator Lyndon john
son of Texas and Senator
John F. Kennedy of Massa-
chusetts. The criticisms of
Senator Kennedy by Senator
johnson we're more cutting
than Gov. Rockefeller's criti-
cisms of Mr.. Nixon.
Senator Kennedy said pub
licly during the Democratic
national convention in Los
Angeles that he accepted
Senator Johnson's repeated
statements that he, Senator
johnson did not want a vice
presidential nomination. II

happen in the Republican
convention.
1t has been the dream Of
many Republicans. since the
Governor announced last
December he would not be an
active candidate for the
Presidential nomination, that
a Nixon-Rockefeller ticket
might develop. In fact. it
has been their ardent hope.
They want above all to win
the coming national election
and retain control in the
White House. And to win, it
is automatic they must carry
New York State.
Jolt to Democrats
No Republican has been
able to win a presidential
race without the electoral
votes of New York since the
turn of the century and be-
fore. 1t is very clear to them
that Gov. Rockefeller on the
national ticket would enor-
mously strengthen the COP.
in New York. They know,
indeed, that their Democratic
rivals would be badly jolted
if a Nixon-Rockefeller ticket
should be chosen next week.
1t is considered certain that
Mr.. Nixon would take Gov.
Rockefeller as a vice preSiden-
tial candidate, but it is by no
means so certain that Gov.
Rockefeller would agree to go
along. Although Mr.. Nixon
himself is not seeking to
pressure Gov. Rockefeller to
accept, it is virtually certain
that such pressure will be eX-
erted by other high Republi-
can leaders. Gov. Rockefeller,
though he has said he is not a
candidate for the presidential
nomination, has more recent
ly said that he would accept
a call of the convention to
take the nomination. 1t
would not be too great a step
for him to change his mind
about second place. Pre-
sumably both Mr.. Nixon and
Gov. Rockefeller wish to see a
Republican victory in No
vember.
Politically, Governor
Rockefeller has little or moth
ing to lose by becoming a
candidate for Vice President.
If the ticket should be de-
feated, Governor Rockefeller
would continue as governor
of New York for another two
years. He could hope for re-
election and for a chance
for presidential nomination
in 1864.
The question arises wheth-
er Gov. Rockefeller will care
enough to help make posi-
BILE Republican victory. To
date, the New Yorker has
been unpredictable. No one
thought he would last winter
withdraw from the race
against Nixon for the presi-
dental nomination. His pres
ent attitude toward a second
place nomination seems to
many party leaders unres-
Sonable.
He is creating almost all
the interest in the coming
national convention. Without
him, without the Rockefeller
: enigma, this would be a dull
affair.
