KENNEDY NOTES
COMMON GOALS

PARIS, May 81 (APJ.-The
tert of President Kennedy'S
speech on arriUal in France
today:
Gen. de Gaulle, ladies and
gentlemen, your generous well
come does honor to my wife
and to me-and to the Nation
we represent.
I come from America, 1.-The
daughter of Europe" to pay
tribute to France, our Oldest
friend. Your land has been,
since before my Nations birth,
the well-spring Of Western
philosophy and ideas-so much
so that Ben Franklin could say.
Every man has two countries:
France and his own"
But I am here to pay tribute
to France. not for her past
glory but for her present great
Iness-her leadership in Europe
and Africa, in science and in
dustry, the productivity of her
workers, the brilliance of her
universities, the grandeur Of
her mission in carrying the
torch of liberty to new nations
throughout the world. In my
office I have received the en-
voys of many new states-and
time after time I find the Ian
guage they speak is French,
the language of free men.
I come not merely because
of the past but because of fu-
ture associations in the defense
of the West-in the defense Of
freedom everywhere. Once again
France under her great cap
tain is the central figure Of
the common effort.
1t is right that my first trip
across the seas as President
should be here to France, for
I have neither held nor planned
any talks that are more i'm
portant. Our common goals are
greater Western unity and
strength the preservation Of
freedom-and the day when
France will never again be q
beachhead for war but a foun-
'tainhead for peace.

less" they had been led to ex-
Ipect.
If President de Gaulle is
miffed at the fact that Presi-
dent Kennedy will go on to
Vienna to meet Premier
KhruShchev, thus reducing the
Paris trip to something of a
stopover. the only reproach
visible is in the continued pres
ence of Belgian flags which
we're put out for the visit of
King Baudouin and Queen
Fabiola of Belgium, who left
here Sunday.
Pictures Of the King and his
Queen-She in her furred
wedding gown-are still on
view in some shop windows,
whose owners have been un-
able to keep up with the rush
Of international guests. The
Spanish-born Queen has been
universally accepted as "sym-
pathique," especially so because
she is expecting a baby.
Photos Haphazard
The advance work on the
photograph department for the
Kennedy visit has not been up
to United States election cam
paign standards. There is a
haphazard quality about the
display, due, apparently to
the fact that there was a dis
agreement in the administra-
ton as to whether the pictures
should show only the President
or the President and Mrs. Ken
nedy, because of her popularity
here. The result has been a
kind Of Ito each his own" ef-
feet. Some shops on the Rue
de Rivoli show the two to-
gether against a wintry back
ground, others show merely
the President in a kind of red,
white and blue context.
One enterprising perfumer
has a magazine picture pasted
on a cardboard background
with a large crayoned legend
underneath which reads, "Wel-
come to you BOTH"
If a little vignette on one
Of the principal streets of Paris
was any indication, the French
prepared themselves well for
today's arrival. Two ladies
were giggling as they went from
shop window to shop window
bowling to every photograph of
the President. How do you
do, Mr.. Kennedee," they said in
rehearsal.

Double Standard on Dictotors

No American can quarrel
with such a policy, for it does

bloody rulers of the Cuban
people, making that island
the first Communist beach
head in this hemisphere.
1t is equally strange that
while certain sections of the
news media and the State
Department are showing their
intense dislike and antagon-
ism for the dictators in Spain
and Portugal we are doing
everything for Yugoslav Die
tator Tito, who may be a
schismatic insofar as Moscow
is concerned but follows nev-
erthelesS the Kremlin in all
international affairs. His
votes in the U.N. are un-
mistakable indication.
When our high officials
are asked the reason for this
dual standard, the customary
answer is that we do not
interfere in the internal af-
fairs of any country. Yet
the State Department is busy
at this very moment trying
to convince Portugal to re-
linquish its African terri
tories. At the same time
pressure is being brought
against the apartheid policy
of the South African Union.
Members of the Appropria-
tions Committees Of both

omic assistance to the Span

Greater Power Seen in New Testament
From Clarity of Its Prose Style

The King James Version was,
in fact, not so much a new
translation as a revision, in
greater richness of language
than that of the Tynd a lie
translation.
Modern man has trouble
with his Bible because its
style and narrative events
come from a prescientific age
when man was innocent of
knowledge about his physical
self or the world in which
he lived. While the secrets
of the heavens are still
locked. man is probing them,
and learning there is so
much new knowledge that
mosv of us feel lost and alien
to that area of knowledge
held by the scientists. The
inspired, dedicated men who
put down the first Gospels,
lived in a world in which
mythology prevailed, along
with a belief in good and
evil spirits. Disease came as
punishment for sin.
1t was in such a world
that the simple story of
Christ, crucified and risen,
made so great an advance.
There were many reasons for
the expansion of Christian
ity. But chief among them
was the clarity of the Ian
guage and its truths. Men
could understand it.

Easter, 1861, will find some
hundreds of thousands of
Christians reading the New
Testament in English which
seeks to approximate the
simplicity and ease Of
understanding which the
Gospels and Paul's letters
had when spoken or written
in the peasant Greek of their
day. This is a new transla-
ton, not a revision, produced
after Is years of work by
English scholars. The New
English Bible: oxford Uni
versity Press and Cambridge

1t is a compelling text.
There will be disagreements
and diSappointments. But it
invites a response of the mind
to what is said, rather than
emotional response to the
majesty of phrase or sweep of
poetry. There is nothing
vague about it. The sentences
challenge mans mind to deal
with what is said. 1t has
been difficult to understand
all the Bible. A translation of
some years ago by Anglican
j. B. Phillips, which, in
some respects, is a sounder
production than this latest
one. combines with "the New
English Bible" to remove
much confusing religiosity
and ambiguity of meaning.

New Bible Reaches the Mind

ing for the lay reader, was
convinced Of the necessity for
a nonarchaic, plain, easily
read and comprehended Bible.
New Testament Greek"
he wrote, 'is in general the
colloquial lingua franca' Of
the early Roman Empire. 80.
The Pentateuch, earliest and
most important section of
the Greek Old Testament,
quoted in the New Testament
so frequently, consists gener-
ally of good and easy ver-
nacular Greek. 1t was not
produced for learned con-
sumption. The Greek Old
Testament, like the New
Testament, was meant from
the first to be the peoples
book. Paul used the
tongue of the plain people
for the same reason as John
Wesley did: simple language
is very easy for men whose
one desire is to be clear"
None who reads the New
Bible will quarrel with the
statement that the prose has
simplicity and power. Those
whose lives and language
have been shaped, as have
those of so many genera
tions by the magnificent King
James Version, may dislike
some of the undecorated sim
plicity. To ears in love with
the sweep of the King James
pages, it may even seem less
clear. But it also is true, as
critics have said, that the
King James Version was be-
coming more and more a
monument to Christianity.
