Cuban Revolt

The Castro regime Is re-
ported using Soviet MIG
fighters against the Cuban
rebels. In all probability, the
pilots are not CubanS. This
situation presents a clear
and present danger, not only
to the Cuban rebel cause,
but also to the United States.
There are many means,
with substantial historical
precedent, by which we can
do much more than we are
now doing to aid the Cuban
rebels:
/. We should grant i'm
mediate recognition of q
state of insurgency or q state
Of belligerency in Cuba and
grant. thereby, formal rec
ognition Of the Cuban rebel
cause.
2. We should establish q
lend-leaSs or caSh-and-carry
program to provide the Gu
ban rebels with the latest
model fighter and fighter
bomber aircraft. (CaSh-and-
carry certainly did not vio-
late our neutrality in 1882
3. We should provide. di-
rectly or indirectly, for the
immediate establishment Of
an Eagle Squadron or Flying
Tigers composed OF either
former or retired United
States pilots who might be
interested in volunteering"
AS 3 Nation. we can no
longer afford graspingly to
hang on to false concepts Of
morality. We can not afford
to allow our morality and
virtue to be used as weapons
against us. The Communists
have employed the gun"
against us, and where the
gun begins. morality ends.
Let's fight to win. I'm tired
Of appeaSement. I'm sick of
miniature Munichs. Let's
consider our interests for a
change.

Men of Peace

I wish to sincerely con-
grstulate David Lawrence for
his enlightening statement
of the relation between the
Peace Corps and the great
Christian missionary move
ment.
Having spent IS years in
British Malaga 1915-1950
as an educational missionary
Of the Methodist Church, I
am profoundly impressed
with the possible results Of
lasting peace by a very care
fully thought-out working re-
lation between the Peace
Corps plan and the Christian
missionary movement, which
he very truthfully says has
been spreading peace and
good will over the world for
many decades.
I volunteered with my wife
in 1915 under the program
known at that time as the
Student Volunteer Movement
and thousands of young
highly trained Christian men
and women went to the ends
Of the earth for sacrificial
service in the uplift of back
ward and needy peoples Of
the world, especially Asia and
Africa and the East Indies
and South America. We
went to Southeast Asia and.
If 1 were 80 years younger,
we would volunteer again
with the same motive Of
spreading good will and peace
of the abundant life as
taught by Jesus Christ, which
as Mr.. Lawrence rightly says.
properly interpreted, covers
every phase of humanitarian
uplift that any people need.

closely analyzing the col
umnS Of David Lawrence, I
submit that he represents
one of the greatest reporting
disasters to ever hit the
American scene. The mental
wizardry employed in his eff
fort of April II runs true to
his past performance. Both
the past and present admin
iStrationS have been con-
vinced that Soviet space
claims have been exact-Sll
agree that nothing has been
proven to the contrary, Thus
Lawrence, in suggesting that
Gagarin might not really
have orbited the earth, once
again proves that he 10 .
follower Of the truism that
The road to inertia is paved
with good reports"
Mr.. Lawrence works from
the popular vista Of intelli-
gence which has absolutely
no relationship to wisdom.
He picks up a theme that
he knows will ride well with
the masses who have been
conditioned over the past
eight years to want nothing
but good reports. He at
tempts to substantiate his
often naive views only with
those facts convenient to his
case-he quite obviously re-
iects those that might tend
to refute his own outlook.
Lawrence operates from a
weak and negative position
he is a firm believer that
any form of criticism con-
cerned with our own internal
problems gives aid and COM
fort to a potential enemy.
Mr., Lawrence should pay
more attention to bis own
backyard and dedicate him
self to giving America a solid
sense of purpose to enhance
democratic principles. It Ia to
be hoped that time NAV
prove to be a great equalizer
in easing East West tensions.
Possibly the conquest of
space will divert mans en-
ergy to sensible ventures
away from preparations for
war and violence. The great
danger of our time has been
that man has learned to
understand and control too
many Of the external forces
Of his nature before he has
begun to understand himself.

ciety for Doing Something

Montgomery Budget

The all-Democratic Mont
gomery County Council dem
onstrated its increasing skill
in practicing the art Of the
possible" when it voted to
spend 5000, 900 for q study
Of trash disposal on the same
night it slashed 81 million
from the operating budget
for public schools.
What makes the trash
study" even more appropriate
in identifying the high water
mark" Of this councils career,
is its continued failure to
demonstrate an understand
ing Of the true costs Of the
ever increasing capital
budget when it voted to bor-
row the 5000, 900 trash fund!
Constantly increasing debt
service requirements for in
terest and principal payments
on borrowed funds, are now
increased even more by the
addition Of this item.
What makes the whole
budget show" even more Of
a farce, is the fact that MANY
voters may think the Demo-
cratic council was economy
minded" when it voted to de-
fer including construction
costs for the new East
Wheaton and Potomac High
Schools in the capital budget
schedule. Taxpayers should
not be miSled by this trick,
because the council did vote
planning money for these two
schools. The money would not
have been borrowed until
needed, in any case.
The council practices false
economy when it deletes
needed funds for continued
use Of school facilities during
summer months and by elimi-
mating such vital projects as
clerical assistance for high
Salaried specialists and for
badly needed help in the
planning department.

SAIGON.-One Of the more
battling questions in this
part of the world is why the
Communists are delaying 80
long on acceptance of q cease
fire in Laos that would clear
the way for q full-fledged
international conference.
At this point it seems very
obvious that any such con-
ference can have only one
conceivable result. To con-
secrate and legalize the Com
munist gains that have been
made so far and prepare the
way for the next step in the
Red conquest of Southeast
Asia.
Conferences have been held
before. Agreements have
been reached, lines have been
drawn and international con-
troll commissions have been
established to supervise the
results. What has happened
since the Geneva meeting of
1854 provides a good indica-
ton of the results that can
be expected now.
In 1854 the United States
and its allies faced very much
the same decision that faces
President Kennedy today.
The choice was either to
intervene with force to pre-
vent a Communist victory in
Indo- China or to negotiate
a settlement which would
limit the Communist ad-
vance, at least for the time
being. The French. after
snearly nine years Of war, were
still fighting desperately
against the growing strength
of the Communist Vietminh.
But it was clear enough that
without prompt aid on a
scale that only the United
States could supply, the end
was in sight.
The United States. in fact,
came very close to inter
vening. Secretary Of State
Dulles, among others, argued
in favor Of it along with most
of the military high COM
mand. They were overruled
by President Eisenhower, sup
ported by the British, who
strongly favored a negotiated
compromise and, indeed. by
the French. who by this time
wanted little more than to
end the war on the best terms
possible.
Reds Hold Territory
The results OF Geneva
proved the adage-Still ap-
plicable today - that it Is
hard to win ct the confer
ence table what cannot be
won on the battlefield. What
the Communists controlled,
they hold.
Vietnam was divided at
the 17th Parallel, pending
nationwide elections which
no one on either side seri-
ouSly expected to take place.
Laos and Cambodi& were eS-
tablished as in dep n d e n t
states, neutral to the extent
that they were not permitted
to Join formal regional de-
tense organizations. A com
mission made UP Of India,
Canada and Poland was ap-
pointed to supervise and in
sure compliance with the
agreement.
Today the cycle has come
around. once again. The
Communists control about
half Of Laos, are bringing
critical political and military
pressure on South Vietnam.
Once again, the United
States Is actively consider
ing . military Intervention.

THE WORLD
Reds Goal in Laos: Vietnom?
BY CROSBY S. MOVES
Foreign Correspondent of Ths Stor

And once again, there Ia
heavy pressure for another
international conference a.
the alternative.
This time there are certain
important differences, how
ever. Although the United
States was not q party to
the Geneva agreement, it
was Immediately and deeply
involved in it's consequences.
Today, the United States has
replaced France as the West
ern country most deeply
committed in Southeast
Asia. And though the COM
mitment so far is in the
form Of money. arms and
advice instead Of men, the
loss Of either Laos or Wet
nam would cause irreparable
damage to American prestige
in Asia.
Different Problem
Furthermore, what could
be written off in 1854 as a
colonial problem" Is now on
an altogether different
plane. Today the govern
ments that are under Com
munist attack are supported
by the United States as the
rightful and legal represent
atiVes Of the people OF Laos
and Vietnam. Their inde-
pendence, which is now
being so gravely threatened,
came about as the result of
a solemn agreement sub
scribed to by the Commun-
lists themselves.
1t would seem that from
the political. legal or moral
point Of view, the juStifica-
ton for military interven-
ton by the United States
in Laos or VietnAm is
stronger today than it was
seven years ago. In fact, in
the opinion of a good many
people in these parts, the
only justification for not in
tervening would be q rea-
Sonable hope that q new
negotiation would produce
something stable and perma-
nent in the way Of q settle
ment.
If such a reasonable hope
exists, it is not apparent to
the visitor here. The Com
munistS might we'll agree to
a neutral and independent"
Laos in which they played
a predominant role. Very
probably they would have no
objection to the revival of
the international control
commission which has proved
totally ineffective not only
in Laos but also in Vietnam
where it is still in operation.
BY themselves these meas
ureS. although they might
temporarily appeaSe the con-
science of the West, would
be no real concession and
provide no real obstacle to
Communist ambition.
There is moreover, 4 grow
ing conviction among many
observers here that the
primary target of the Com
munists is not Laos but
Vietnam. Military experts
point out that the build-up
by the Russians of Commun-
ist military force in Laos
already far exceeds what is
needed within Laos itself. II
the country were neutral
lied" along the same lines as
Cambodia. this force could
then be thrown into the
struggle for Vietnam with
easily predictable results.
And once again the West
would face the ugly choice
between fighting q war or
losing Southeast Asia.
