DEOPLE assume that pimientos, like
J. castanets, originated in Spain.
Columbus, however, discovered the
red pepper plant on his second trip to
the New World. He so enjoyed its spicy
flavor and appetizing crimson color that
he returned to Spain with the seeds.
Until 1916, virtually all pimientos
on the American market did, in fact,
come from Spain. Then market gar
dener in Georgia turned to growing pep
pers, importing the pimiento seeds from
abroad. The plants flourished in the soil
and climate of their original home.
Members of the Georgia Experiment
Station devoted themselves to improving
the pimiento. They created, from the
Spanish strain, the smooth, heart-shaped,
thick-walled variety we enjoy today.
Pimientos are grown almost exclusively
in the South Georgia, Alabama, Florida,
Tennessee and South Carolina-wi the
greatest production in Georgia.
The pimiento takes quite a junket
before it natures. Many of the seeds are
shipped to Florida early in January;
there they flourish til mid-April, at
which time they are returned to Georgia
to be transplanted.
Once the fruit comes of age, it travels
again, this time being taken to nearby
canneries. It's there that the tough

Decision Time on Foreign Aid

true conservatives than did
the old.
Still, the President has
taken grave risk in putting
it forward so bluntly. He had
admitted many and grave
faults with foreign aid in its
present structure. Indeed, its
strongest critics have rarely
spoken more harshly Of its
shortcomings.
Thus he runs the danger
of arming those who have
always opposed foreign aid,
efficient or not. But the
hazard has to be accepted.
For the President knows that
foreign aid for too many
years has tolerated too many
weaknesses. He reasons that
unless these weaknesses are
driven out, Congress cannot
much longer be persuaded to
go along with the thing, in
any form.
Thus he is drawing the
surgical knife; thus it is kill
or cure. And it will be strictly
a bipartisan operation: the
President is making special
appeals to Republicans who
are just as interested as he
is in dealing with this
patient.

For a change. the Budapest
Quartet had no company on the
stage at the Library Of Congress
last night. The program was for
four strings and nothing else.
and it was precisely the kind
Of program the quartet plays
best.
There were two masterworks,
Haydn'S last quartet with the
exception Of the two-movement
Op. 103 and Schubert's last
quartet without exceptions)
In between, we had Milhaud's
pleasant Quartet No. IL.
The Haydn is a miraculous
work Of old age. intensely eco
nomical in its use Of material
and almost grim in its humor-
in short, the kind Of work not
written again until the last
Quartets of Beethoven some Is
years later.
The Budapesters' well known
approach to Haydn is to dig in
and let fly. In any other group
the results would be brutal
and rough, but here the vigor
Is part Of a totally musical ap-
proach and not a blind behind
which insensitivity turks.
The Schubert quartet is ir
a sense the masters tribute tc
Beethoven, and despite the
tendency to sprawl the piece
is tightly knit and not a little
prickly. The performance die
the structural complexities full
justice; indeed, the extraordi-
nary clarity with which they
reveal structure is one of the
Budapest Quartet's most strik-
ing virtues.
Mischa Schneider's playing o1
the main theme of the second
movement was virtually per-
feet, and throughout the work
the quartet happily extended
its dynamic range by playing
more softly than is usually Its
wont.
The beginning Of the Milhaud
was badly flawed by inaccurate
intonation, but the perform
ance settled down quickly. II
Is easy to make fun of this
piece, written in memory OF
Gabriel Faure, for Milhaud is
willing to take what he needs
where he finds it, and he is
no stylistic dogmatist. But II
every composer had Milhaud's
ability to write exactly as
many notes as he needs - no
more and no less - and Mil
haud's knack for making every
note sound inevitable, the world
Of music would be a happier
one.

Curing of Programs Weaknesses

WILLIAM S. WHITE

1t is kill or cure now for
the American foreign aid
program.
It has been the mightiest
and most unselfish and most
bipartisan world policy ever
undertaken by any nation.
For more than a decade it
has dominated all basic rela-
tionshipS among Western ma
tions. For more than a dec
ade it has been the vital
underpinning of the free
worlds alliance against in
ternational communism, the
true source of free world
power.
But what was once mag
nificent-what once saved
much of the West from fall
ing into communism in the
shambles left by the Second
World Warts magnificent
no longer. The old instru-
ment has got out of date;
it is rusty and undeniably
wasteful now. Time has
made it almost as obsolete,
as a weapon of high policy,
as the Flying Fortress is
obsolete, like a gallant mem
ory of long ago.
Changing times have
brought changing problems.
Not the least of these is the
long obvious necessity to
turn aid more to strength
ening the long-run econo-
mics of other countries and
less to the desperate meeting
of mere emergency Situa-
tions, day by day and hour
by hour.
1t is not urgent, separated
crises which now must be
faced. 1t is a long. long con-
test to determine whether
imperialist communism or
democratic capitalism will
shape the earth's economy

Moscow Testing u. S. in Laos

we have been paying the
Army for the last two years.
they are about to seize con-
troll of Laos, and not a Com
munist soldier or a Russian
soldier has crossed the
boundary of Laos. They
could, by 1870, control great
sections of the earth without
ever advancing their armies
beyond their present from
tiers. So we have to con-
Germ ourselves with building
up our military power be-
cause their military power is
behind their expansion, but
that is not enough. if we are
going to stop the Communist
advance in the 1960S. e.
"I want to make it very
clear to Mr.. KhruShchev and
to anyone else who wonders,
will not cut our present
commitments to the cause of
freedom if I am elected Pres
ident of the United States
anywhere in the world-the
Formosa Straits. Latin Amer
ica, Africa. Asia-I support
our present effort to build
strength, not merely to hold
the line but to expand free
dom all around the globe"
Mr.. Kennedy, as President
Of the United States, now is
face to face with a situation
similar to that which con-
fronted his predecessor. He
bears the responsibility now.
Nikita Khrushchev may have
wondered whether what was
said to the American Legion
was just campaign oratory"
or whether 1t was the fore
runner of a militant policy.
AS the Soviet government
makes the test in Laos,
Americans, irrespective of
party. will today support the
President if his pledge of last
October is fulfilled. But to
avoid military action and to
go into an international con-
ference is one thing, and to
prevent such an international
conference from dividing up
another independent country
which, like North Vietnam
in Indo- China, can be used
as another Communist base
for infiltration and guerrilla
warfare against neutral"
neighbors-is something else
again. Yet this is the clue
to the effectiveness of the
policy on Laos announced by
President Kennedy at his
press conference yesterday.

It's the same old story:
The Moscow regime is testing
the United States Govern
ment to see if it stands firm
in Laos or will acquiesce in
further encroachments in
Southeast Asia by Soviet
controlled forces.
Laos is just a proving
ground-an opportunity to
find out whether the United
States under the Kennedy
administration is less cour-
ageous than 1t was under
the Eisenhower administra-
ton. Oddly enough, the sit
uation today is almost par
allel to what it was just
seven years ago, when a
major crisis arose in South
east Asia as Communist
forces launched an all-out
attack against the French in
Indo-C China. A four-power
conference subsequently was
held at Geneva to settle the
dispute by drawing a line
between the northern and
southern sections of Wet
Nam, giving a large territory
to the Communists and "neu-
tralizing" neighboring Laos
and Cambodia. Shortly be-
fore the conference. when
Vice President Nixon made
a speech limiting at military
action by the United States,
he was promptly aSsailed by
the Democrats, including
Senator Kennedy of Massa-
chusetts.
Here is a paraphrase of
what Mr.. Nixon said in an
off-the-record talk to the
American Society of News
paper Editors on April 16,
1854. as published at the
time:
1.-THE United States as a
leader Of the free world can
not afford further retreat in
Asia. 1t is hoped the United
States will not have to send
troops there, but If this Gov
!ernment cannot avoid it, the
administration must face up
to the situation and dispatch
forces"
The State Department, in
a formal announcement i'm
mediately thereafter, said
that Mr.. Nixon had not
enunciated any new policy.

New Crisis Viewed as Move to See

few weeks before in which he
had said;
Under the conditions of
today the imposition on
Southeast Asia of the polit-
ical system Of Communist
Russia and it's Chinese Com
munist ally, by whatever
means, would be a grave
threat to the whole free COM
munity. The United States
feels that that possibility
should not be tacitly accept
ed, but should be met by
united action. This might
involve risks, but these risks
are far less than those that
will face us a few years from
now if we dare not be reso-
lutte today"
Mr.. Dulles was criticized
as indulging in brink
manship," and on April 20
just four days after the
Nixon speech-Senator Ken
nedy said:
THE American people
should be told the truth
about the situation in the
Far East for if Secretary
Dulles and Vice President
Nixon's words are to be taken

But I do believe it both
proper and necessary that
