He will not take this country

move him to do this.
The Berlin situation eases
and tightens.
There will be talks about it.
The super-patriots who want
the bombs to be loosed, and
who hint that negotiations
about Berlin will be appease-
ment, have confused the
issue. Those opposition poll
ticians who place partisan
ship above national welfare
also protest negotiations.
The President knows that the
Berlin wall is a symbol of
communiSm'S failure-as are
the barbed wires and mines
about the boundaries of Hun
gary and CzechosloVakia.
But P re sident Kennedy
cannot deceive himself or his
fellow countrymen, and he
must approach the issue of
Eastern Europe and the facts
as they are. The Oder -Neisse
River for years has been the
frontier between Poland and
Germany. For years Ger
many has been partitioned
into two states. The East
German satellite mot East
Berlin) occupies relatively the
same status as the satellites
of Czechoslovakia and Po-
land. Yet, we have a refusal,
in some quarters, to accept
these uncomfortable facts.
Reality often is pitiless. This
Is why we do not enjoy fac

MILAN. Italy.-When the
United States recently an
nopnced it had borrowed 200
million Swiss francs (about
S465 million) from Swiss
banks there was a mild furry
of astoniShment in this head
quarters city Of the Common
Market despite the compare
lively insignificant amount of
the loan. Washington, it is
said, had to borrow the Swiss
francs to bolster the sagging
dollar in Switzerland.
Although Washington state
ments are optimistic that the
outflow of the dollar has
about ended, there are some
misgivings about it's future if
the present rate of expendi-
ture continues. 1t is pointed
out that had the Bonn and
Paris governments not paid
in advance some $700 million
due by 1868 the position of
our currency abroad might
have been delicate.
The heavy burden we have
assumed since 1910, involving
more than 5000 billion, is be-
ginning to show its effects.
Much of that amount has
been wisely spent on such
projects as the phenomenal
reconstruction of Europe and
similar work in the Far East.
But no nation, say the ex-
perts here, can continue to
spend at the rate we are
spending without serious con-
sequences.
AS a result of the remark
able economic and financial
development of continental
Europe which has been melt
ed into the Common Market,
we are compelled to face the
possibility that unless we join
it in one way or another we
shall eventually be in an I'M
believably difficult position.
Hence, the recent express
sionS from responsible Amer
leans to the effect that we
may have to consider making
agreements with that most
powerful economic-political
combine in modern history.
But such an association by
the United States with West
ern European nations may
not be easy and cannot be
based on emotions or graf
itude on the part Of the ma
tions we saved from financial
and economic catastrophe.
The trouble, according to
European experts, consists in

Acceptance of Facts Without Slogans
Held Necessary to Progress in Europe

One of President Ken
nedy's problems of communi-
cation with the American
people is that we have be-
come accustomed to being
spoon-fed with slogans and
high-sounding reassurances.
This is not merely a time
of grave international dan
ger. 1t also is one of transi-
ton. Events do not stand
still. Rarely, even, do they so
much as mark time.
The President cannot, in
such time, bring himself to
give the Nation slogans and
platitudes, even though it is
used to soothing sirups. He
has spoken the truth-that
winning the peace is a lonely
task, that danger is about us
and will be for years to come.
1t simply is not in him to be
glib or fatuously reasSuring
at a time when the great
revolutionary forces loose in
the world are not under con-
troll.
There are those who want
to go to war. They do not
even consider what its ulti-
mate effects might be. There
are others who insist that
unless the United Nations be-
comes a submissive arm of
United States policy, we walk
out of it. There are those
who cry for action-without
definition.
There are no short cuts.
The man in the Whit e
House knows this. He has

RALEIGH - Fred P. Johnson
one of North Cardinals most wide.
ly known agricultural workers, has
retired from active service.
In announcing his retirement as
head of the cotton and engineerig
section of the N. C. Department OF
Agriculture's markets division
John A. Winfield, head of the di-
vision, also announced the appoint
ment of H. A. (Jack) Smith to
this position.
"Mr. Fred" Johnson had been
with the department for nearly a
quarter of a century, having first
been employed by the late w. Kerr
Scott, then commissioner of agri-
culture, to initiate a program of
technical assistance to the states
cotton ginners.
"At that time Is to 20 percent
of the states cotton crop was
down-graded by what is known as
rough prep caused by poor gin
ming" Winfield said. "But at first
many of the ginners were reluctant
to accept outside help. Help was
not urged on them, but word spread
about Improvements made at the
few gins accepting Johnson's tech
meal advice, and he soon became
swamped with requests. By 1850
the percentage of rough prep of
the states cotton crop had been re-
duced to one-tenth of one percent
and has remained near that level
ever since.
