is also his country, his interests,
his hopes, and his future
wrapped up in these United
States; and he also knows that
his race has no quarrel with
his nationality. Conflicts he has,
but these are conflicts of pref

force the double standard under
which he lives. But having sur

he is more ready to take a
place of leadership without NAL

to give up a biased rule. Having
lived as Negro, he is we'll

Period of Appraisal Due

This whole new set of hands
must then learn really to
know and to know how to
operate smoothly with the old
set of hands in the foreign
governments. These latter
in Britain, in France, in Italy
and so on-for eight years
have been accustomed to
dealing with entirely another
American set, that made up
of the Eisenhower people.
Mr.. Kennedy's election VIC
tory was by no means un-
popular abroad. But the HUI
man fact remains that a cer-
tain sense Of dislocation, of
having to start all over again
with new men and new faces
on one side. is now felt on
both sides Of the Atlantic.
In a word, the new fellows
must first learn really to ne
gotiate with old Allies before
there can be much sense In
our trying to negotiate all to-
gether with an old antago-
mist, the Russian antagonist.
And finally, Mr.. Kennedy
intends to bring Congress
into the closest actual part
nership in foreign affairs it
it has ever known. This, too,
will require some work before
the White House and Con-
gress are drawn up into
proper position to confront

diplomacy: If and when we 60
to another summit we will 90
only with vast prior prepara-
tion.
All this is in the cards not
simply because Mr.. Kennedy
and Dean Rusk, the incoming
Secretary of State, both take
a pretty dim view of sum-
mitry as such. There are
other highly significant facts.
A whole new set of hands is
coming into power here and
in common prudence it will
take some time to learn the
ropes.
Evening star., 1961-01-02

The incoming Kennedy
Administration Is deliberate
ly discouraging, both here
and abroad, all those easy
optimists who still expect
some quick and dramatic
push by the new United
States Government to ease
the cold war.
Although 1t may not be
too CHEEKY a fact to fling
into the face Of the hopeful
New Year. the only realistic
view Of the business is this.
We, and the West in general,
face a fairly prolonged pc
riod Of what may seem to
be American inaction while
the new administration takes
careful stock Of the world
position and makes its own
dispositions.
It Is q fair estimate that
not short Of six months will
elapse before the United
States is ready to move
toward any fundamentally
fresh stroke In the long, icy
impasse with the Soviet bloc.
And it probably will be an
even longer time before the
new President is prepared
to contemplate anything so
grand as a summit confer
ence with Nikita Khrush-
chev of the Soviet Union
If, indeed. he ever is so pre-
pared.
This glacier called the cold
war was a long time abuild-
ing; it will not be melted in
any sudden and miraculous
way-if at all.
These gloomy but none
theless plain facts Of life are
being slowly and carefully
pressed upon the American
and Allied peoples by Mr..
Kennedy and his principal
advisers. Publicly, the cue is
being given by such incidents
as the Kennedy plan to have
a rowing ambassador moving
about the world.
The purpose here is GER
tainly not to create some
free-wheeling super nego-
tiator carrying the White
House in his dispatch case.
It is the reverse-to return
to a traditional diplomacy
which will tend to keep the
President and Secretary Of
State at home while strictly
subordinated agents repre-
sent them abroad.

Moybe Ivan Should Decide

the same thing is happening
inside the Soviet Union and
the satellite countries. Thus,
the Hungarian peasants
forced their Communist re-
gime to resort to what are
called "capitalistic practices"
to encourage production on
the farms. Private areas have
been assigned to farmers,
who thus are permitted to
satisfy a profit motive.
If capitalist incentives can
infiltrate the Communist
world, certainly some demo-
cratic practices like national
elections might some day
have q chance, too.
Maybe the time has ar
rived for America to come
to the rescue with a big "for-
eign aid" program. Here, for
instance, is a bold and imag-
inative idea"' which this
writer, in the gift-giving
spirit Of the holiday season,
happened to think Of over
the week end. Why not make
our huge farm surplus avail
able to the distraught mil
lions Of people in Red China
and in the Soviet Union? :
Mr.. Benson will be out Of
a job in three weeks, but he
knows a great deal about the
agricultural problems behind
the Iron Curtain. In fact,
not so long ago he made an
extended trip of observa-
ton through the Soviet
Union and Eastern Europe.
1t certainly wouldn't hurt to
have him head up a team of
agricultural advisers, which
might include the farm ex-
pert Of Iowa who entertained
Nikita Khrushchev on his
visit here in 1859.
There's only one string to
be attached. Not a bushel
Of grain or a single farm ad-
wiser should be forthcoming
until the people of the So
Wet Union insist upon an un-
restricted right to vote in an
election, so that they may
pick men and policies Of
their own and solve not only
all the farm problems but
even the matter Of rainfall.
For what prof1teth it a ma
ton to send q "Sputnik" to
the moon II it can't at will
make rain fall from the
heavens?

are in good working order.
Not since the early New Deal
