to Rico was not accidental, be-
cause this and other comparisons
are relevant to the statement
which is constantly being made
and repeated that before we can
expect a full measure of self-gov-
eminent we will have to achieve
full economic self-sufficiency. In
other wards, we should be paying
our own Way--a concept with
which none of us will quarrel. In
this connection, it is interesting to
note, however, that according to
recent national publications, even
the Federal Government in Wash
ington, with its vast resources,
has been and still is deeply con-
cerned about its balance of trade
and the relatedly vexing problem
OF the outflow of gold.
You may recall that the Organ
ic Act was finally amended in 80
81 to provide for the return of the
internal revnue taxes to our local
treasury. However, again, unlike
rePuerto Rico, the amount Of such
revenue to be returned annually
was limited to the amount of tax
es raised locally duringthe fiscal
year.
Puerto Rico, of course, suffers
under no such handicap. 1t gets
Lack all of its internal revenue
taxes. Yet, Puerto Rico elects its
own governor, legislature, and a
resident commissioner in the Con-
gress OF the United States.
A recent staff study conducted
for tn e House Committee on Int
Tor and Insular Affairs indicated
that for fiscal year 1859, internal
revenue taxes returned to Puerto
Rico amounted to $27.3 million
more than twice the amount OF
our annual budget. During the
same fiscal year, about 1912 mil
lion in Federal funds went to
Puerto Rico. Yet, nobody has Sc
riously suggested that Puerto Rico
should be Independently viable
economically. Nor has anyone sug
gested that its fully internal self
government should be limited in
keeping with the degree of econo-
mic self-sufficiency Of the Com
monwealth, Why then, in the
case of these Virgin Islands
should our ability to pay our own
way be established as the yard
stick which will determine the
extent to which we will be per-
mitted a greater measure OF self
gove1nment--the sole criterion in
determining the degree to which
we in these Virgin Islands can en-
JOY the rights and privileges en-
joyed by people living in a free
society and under our democra-
tic form of government.
The case thus presented con-
stitutes what | believe to be per
suasive argument for a fullgrant
of self-government to the people
Of these Virgin Islands. Consider

Thus, instead of the metropolitan

Washington. Nov. 17-In dis
cussing the failure of the 1861
session of Congress to approve
more of the Kennedy legislative
proposals, Sen. Mansfield Of
Montana, the Democratic leader,
gave this explanation to his col
leagues:
The country" he said, "had
divided almost evenly on Nov. 8
election day and the majority
party in Congress did not COM
mand the numbers required for
a sense of divine mission
This explanation provides one
of the major reasons for the
current series of White House
regional conference.-the for
President Kennedy's political
activity in connection with cleo
tons in New York, New Jersey
and Texas.
Democrats are hoping that the
election successes will stimulate
more congressional votes for
Kennedy proposals sand also will
lead to greater victories in the
1862 congressional and 1864
presidential and congressional
elections.
Republicans, however, are
pointing out that in these and
other elections throughout the
nation the number of votes they
received showed a substantial
increase over recent years-and
that this heralded important
future gains in party strength.
Only the election returns in
1862 and 1864 can prove who is
right-but. in the meantime,
both parties are contending that
more intense activity can be
made to pay attractive dividends
in later years.
There also is no way at this
time to determine the effective
ness of the White House regional
conferences.
The outcome will depend. to
a very great extent, on the pro-
ponents and opponents of the
Kennedy proposals in presenting
their viewpoint to the public and
to members of the Senate and
House.
Persons attending the confer
enceS say that administration
spokesman emphasized that the
Kennedy program already had
done a great deal for the people
and that much more would be
forthcoming in the future-pro-
vided the President received the

and even fishery products. One
OF the first projects may be to
build a pipeline for crude oil
from Western Canada to Mon
treal. Relations with Venezuela
are now being cultivated by the
United States. How this will
affect Canada's oil prospects is
an open question.
Thus far. large sums of money
have gone from the United
States into Canada to help de-
velop these natural resources.
Very little Of Canada's imported
money has been for industrial
goods, but mostly for invest
mentS or SpeculatiOnS in
Canada'S natural resources.
Outlook For Future
Factories may be built and go
to decay: machinery may be-
come obsolete: trade routes may
Change. but, at the worst. Cana
da's natural resources cannot be
destroyed even though their ex-
%ploltalon NAV taper off for a
few years. This means that Can.
ada would profit from Initiation.
and investments there could be
a good hedge for those who are
fearful Of initiation.
In closing, let me remind read
ers that Canada's economic
growth has taken only about fifty
years; and with her present po-
lltlcal, social. and economic
structure, this excellent growth
should continue. Hence, bust
nesSmen and investors should be
optimistic about the future Of
Canada. even with radically
changing world conditions.

Unfortunately, there seems to
be no real place in either our
military or our diplomatic es-
tablishment for men of Col.
Kintner's background. He winds
up after an early retirement
therefore, in the Foreign Policy
Research Institute Of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania.
Perhaps this just as well at
this stage Of Americas re-
awakening. For, from that post
of unmuzzled independence, he
can better spread an awareness
of the threat posed to the West
ern world by the Sino-Soviet bloc.
Col. Kintner has a message
for Americans. He realizes that
the Communists have been win
ming their "protracted CON
fllct' against the West. through
the application of military meth
DDS to nonmilitay warfare. Out
OF this realization, he recon-
mends three courses which are
b~asically a challenge for clear
headed but hard-boiled thinking
On. the part of American leaders.
These recommendations he calls
a Strategy for the Sixties:
I. Toward our allies. we
must adopt a policy of greater
coordination, so that we move
toward unity rather than dis
unity in military, political, eco
nomic, and diplomatic fields.
2. Toward the uncommitted ma
tons. we must present a record
Of accomplishment which will
convince them that the wave
of the future" rests with the
West, not with the Communists.
This conviction cannot be spread
if we continue to be outmaneuv-
cred at every crisis" manu-
featured by the Communists.
3. Twoard our enemies, we
must put up a solid front of
military and economic strength
as proof of our determination to
hold firm. no matter what the

cost nor how long the time.
All these things will demand a
Willingness to develop and pur-
sue a national policy which lasts
over a period of generations.
Americans will find this hard to
do, since our habit has been to
deal head-on with a situation,
solve it as best we can, and then
go about our normal business.
But normally can no longer
be the order of things. if we are
to survive. AS Col. Kintner points
out, Americans must be willing
to give up some of their cherish
ed views of the proper" way
of doing business, in order to
meet the Communists head-on.
For one thing, we must begin
telling the world what's wrong
with the Communist system, thus
turning a Soviet tactic back upon
the Marxists. At the same time,
we must actively contain Com
munism within its present bord-
ers. This means refusing, on
the one hand, to yield further
gains in a spirit Of "accommodd-
ton" And. on the other hand,
it means refraining from launch
ing a preventive war, as is urged
in some quarters.
In between these two courses,
we must stand ready to ex-
plot every weakness in the Com
munist regime, to foster disillus-
ionment behind the Iron Curt
ain, and to give effective aid
and comfort whenever the OPP
%portunity arises to liberate peo-
pie or nations from Commun-
ism.
Ultimately. "protracted con-
fllct' may work to our advant-
age-but only if we devote our
selves to winning it.

Babson Discusses Canadian Conditions

BABSON PARK. Mass. Nov.
16-In these perilous times. it
is a JOY for me to discuss our
nearest neighbor. Canada. A
line more than 5000 miles long
separates us, and there is not
a gun OF any other form of
wall" or defense on this very
long line between us and
Canada. This certainly shows
that some form of nuclcar dis
armament should be possible
for all the world.
Follows L.. S. Business
Canada is now enjoying a
gradual recovery from the mild
recession Of a year ago. Indus
trial activity has turned upward,
although to a modest extent.
Canadian business, however. is
subject to intense competition
caused by overcapacity and a
corresponding pressure upon
prices and profits.
For some time Canada has
been a leading trading country.

States, the United Kingdom. and
West Germany. In the year 1861.
export markets have accounted
for about IS per cent Of Canada
national output. The United
States currently exports only 4
per cent of its output. As a re-
suit. the Canadian dollar fluc-
tuates, and right now is worth
less than the American dollar.
European Common Market
Concern has arisen that
Canada's trading position may
be hampered by the European
Common Market. The great

support he desired.
Many purely local RESPONSE
bilities would be taken over by
the federal government, under
the Kennedy proposals. 1t was
disclosed that federal subsidies
are under consideration for even
such local functions as commut-
err fares an parking facilities in
connection with commuter
trains.
Support was solicited for a
number of Kennedy backed
measures which are certain to
arouse vigorous controversy dur
ing the 1862 congressional season.
These include; creation Of a
new Cabinet Department of
Urban Affairs and Housing, an
increase in Social Security taxes
to provide compulsory medical
care for the elderly, federal sub
sides for school construction
and teachers salaries. a tax
credit for business investment
coupled with the closing of So
called tax ''loopholes," federali-
cation of the state unemploy-
ment compensation system, fed
eral training and rctraining pro-
grams, and lower tariffs.
Participants were urged to
write President Kennedy what
ever thoughts they may have as
to what the Government should
be doing. Assurance was given
that their ideas would be given
careful consideration.
Republicans contended that
the conferences were purely po-
litical and the expenses should
not be saddled on the taxpayers.
For example, Rep. Wilson,
chairman Of the Republican Con-
%gressional Committee. cited the
keynote address of Attorney
General Kennedy in Chicago as
proof of the real purpose be-
hind these publicly-financed po-
litical junkets."

WITH the establishment of so many
" half-civilized countries and govern
ments, the problem of state visits is be-
coming a major n in Washington and
in other capitals of the world.
With the arrival of every tribal chief
who now calls himself the president of
this or that new country, Washington
and Z. S. officials must roll out the red
carpet and pay tribute to the individual
with all the formal and traditional func-
tons and time-consuming diplomatic
routine that in former years was limited
to ruling monarchs of some standing.
1t is getting to be an obvious absur-
dity. Every new country president wants
to visit Washington. He wants to Dor
row money, enjoy all the fanfare and
official recognition and have a big
time. 1t is farce and the American tax
payer deserves something better than
a continuous procession of such nom
sense.
AS a matter of cold fact. the proto-
col and diplomatic tradition which
State Department fancies strive to main
tain and preserve with so much relish
is growing obsolete in this age with new
countries bobbing up on all sides. The
newly half-civilized countries in Africa,

Take Heed From Professionals

1t is high time that Americans
begin listening to the counsel of
professionals in the cold war be-
tween the Communists and the
free world.
The real "'pros" in this deadly
game are all too few in number
ton our sidel, but we have
some, and we should use them
and heed them. They are not,
as Sen. Fulbright seems to think,
policies of the United States. But
they are seeking to warn Ameri-
cas- of the urgency for getting
to some tough-minded, consist
ent. policy-making.
Take as one shining example,
the case Of Col. William R. Kint-
rer. or-more properly, perhaps
Professor William r. Kintner,
since he recently has retired
after 81 years service as an
army officer. AS a professional
soldier, Col. Kintner learned the
military trade-staff and COM
mainland acquitted himself
well at it.
He also, as a major distinction,
became a specialist in the four
dimensional warfare which the
Communists have declared
against the free world. Thus, Bill
Kintner has become one of the
few articulate Americans really
equipped to comprehend, and to
counter. the Communist tech
