A BOOK FOR TODAY
What on Earth Will Tomorrow Be Like?
BY DONALD MINTZ

POPULATION AND WORLD
POWER, by Katherine Or
ganski and A. F. K. Organ
ski. 263 PIP. (Alfred A.
Knopf, $4.75D
Periodicals keep a running
score of what they consider
the short term realities of
the world we live in. But
long-range analysis, consid-
ration and speculation
about underlying causes and
their effects are of necessity
confined to books. and the
books are often either
weighty and intended for the
specialist or hastily con-
trived bits of fluff intended
for quick sale.
In Population and World
Power" we have a striking
exception. Two scholars,
Katherine Organski, a soci-
ologist. and Kenneth Organ
ski, a political scientist, have
done their own popularizing
Their ruthlessly realistic
short course in one aspect
Of the human condition is
an important book and a
bitter antidote for some of
the half-understood Shibbol-
eths by which we gauge our
surroundings.
The OrganskiS are not
much concerned by the pop
ulation explosion: Perhaps
future generations will run
out of food and space be-
cause of the needless fertil-
ity Of those now alive; but
for the present a large and
growing population is a
source of power to the ad-
vanced, industrial nations, as
1t will be tomorrow to most
OF the underdeveloped ma
tions as well, once they have
overcome their present short
age of capital"
THIS is COMFORTING,
perhaps; the rest of the book
is not. The Organskis' fund
amental thesis is that the
largest nations are also the
most powerful nations pro-
vided they are industrialized
and have constructed a work.
able social order.
Soon the entire world will
have achieved some form of
modern, chronological soci-
ETY.: when this state is
reached neither the Soviet
Union nor the United States
will be able to maintain its
present position. World
power is passing from
the West, for the largest ma
tionS lie in the East"
This thesis assumes that
the present world political
organization remains about
what it is today. The Or
ganskis know this and dis
cuss it a little, but do not
seem always to bear it in
mind.

Kennedy Gets Acclaim Overseas
Foreign Correspondent Of The

ident's approach to a pos
sible accommodation between
the Communist and nom
Communist world. During
this period the United States
instead Of leading the West
ern alliance seemed too often
cast in the role OF a sort OF
referee between the rival pol
icies of the European allies.
And at home. as we'll, spokes-
men for conflicting hard" or
soft" American lines often
seemed more eloquent inter-
prefers of American policy
than the President himself.
Called Cautious
This phase lasted until
quite recently. AS late as last
November II the London
Economist dedicated its lead
ing article to the problems
of Kennedy the cautious"
The hope that the new Presi-
dent would turn out to be a
leader capable of moulding
public opinion was, the Econo-
mist thought, largely unful-
filled.
1t is improbable that this
article could be written with
any conviction or fairness to-
day. 1t is hard to pinpoint
exactly when the tone chang
ed, when confidence began
to revive or when internal
dissensions within the admin
istration were laid to rest.
From a distance all one can
note is that within the last
few weeks-and notably since
the visit of West German
Chancellor Adenauer to
Washington-the voice in the
White House has spoken with
a new clarity and self assur-
ance.
Addressing All People
There is no doubt either
that the single most impress
sive evidence of this meta
morphosis was the Presidents
performance in the course of
his recent interview with Mr..
1zveStia's Alexsei Adzhubei.
For Mr.. Kennedy, the main
point of exercise, of course.
was to get across his point of
view to the people of Russia.
But he also was speaking to
the people of Western Europe.
What he had to say struck
many people as the most
forceful, lucid and even elo-
quent statement of the West
ern case that has yet been
produced in Washington. And
after many months there is
now a sense of leadership of
which the alliance has been
sorely in need.
The result will not be a
sudden miraculous unity in
the Western camp. Europe.
of course does not represent
a homogeneous mass of opin-
ion and its judgment of the
administration will continue
to vary according to conflict
ing interests and prejudices
in different countries. What
has been accomplished is a
revival of confidence in the
leadership that all members
of the alliance recognize as
paramount in the West.
For the first time Mr.. Ken
nedy is now emerging clearly
as a force in his own right.
II the performance is sus-
tained, his impact on West
ern thinking is likely to be
decisive in the months to
come.

The u. N. Can Kill Itself

For the next fortnight or so, the
General Assembly will be engaged in
debating whether or not to admit Red
China as a member of the United Ma
tionS. This is the first time that the
issue has come up for full airing.
Heretofore, ever since 1949, our country
has had enough support to succeed in
having the U. N. postpone the matter
from year to year
The same sort of postponement
might have been possible again at the
Assemhly's present session, but our
Government decided not to seek it. AS
a result, the U. N is now plunged in one
OF the most bitterly argumentative
periods it has experienced since It's
founding. The immediate fight revolves
around the technical parliamentary
question whether the proposal to admit
Peiping is a procedural or substantive
one.
In the course of vituperative and
thoroughly mendaciouS speech on the
whole issue, Valerian Zorin, the chief
Soviet delegate, has asserted that the
approval of only 81 per cent of the
U. Ms l03 members is needed to ouSt the
FormoSa based Chang Kai-Shek govern
ment of Nationalist China and replace
it with the Communist regime of Mao
Tze-tung. Adlai Stevenson, the head Of
our American delegation, has countered
with arguments designed to persuade
the Assembly that the issue is import
ant" matter of great substance, and
that therefore the U. N, by a simple
majority vote, should rule that a two
thirds vote is necessary to bring about
any such decision as that demanded by
Mr.. Zorin.
At the moment, the indications are
that the American thesis will win the
day and that the Soviet bloc will not be
able to muster enough votes in the As
sembly to bring about Peiping's seating
and the custer of free China. And this
is as it should be, of course, in view of
the fact that the Chinese Communists
are far from peace -loving"-a prime
membership requirement, as set forth
in the u N. Charter-and that they
have an appallingly bad record in terms
Of such things as their poisonous belli-
costly toward the United States, their
criminal aggression in Korea, their rape
of Tibet, their constant threat of force
against FormoSa, their incursions in
India and their Subversive guerrilla
supporting activities against places like
Laos and South Wet Nam.
Certainly, if the General Assembly
were to close its eyes to this noiSome
record and approve the admission Of
Red China, it would be stultifying itself
in a way that could quickly lead to its
undoing. Mr.. Stevenson has left no
room for doubt on that score. AS he
has put it, such decision would bring
into the U. N. "a most disruptive and
demoralizing influence at this criti-
cal moment in history" More than
that, 1t would outrage public opinion in
the United States, and in a way that
could mortally weaken the world or
ganization.
Mr.. Stevenson has not dwelt upon
this point in detail. Instead he has left
it to the members to null over the
consequences of Americas reaction
including the congressional response in
terms of indispensable financial sup
porto decision by the Assembly to
vote for Red China's admission at this
time. To put it bluntly, nothing could
be better calculated to destroy the U. N.
and in hurry.

PARIS

PARIS
Gallup has been silent and
there are no completely reli-
able guides to this sort of
question. Nevertheless there
is a strong impression that
President Kennedy and his
administration have reached
a new height CT popularity in
Western Europe during the
last few weeks.
What Europeans think
about the performance of the
American Government is not
particularly hard to discern.
The interest of the average
literate European in even the
intramural working of Wash
ington is always surprising.
The recent shakeup in the
State Department, for ex-
ample, probably caused more
comment in Paris. London
and Bonn than similar shifts
in their own foreign ministries
would have done. And in
every international develop
ment in which the United
States plays a major role
the judgment and criticism
of our European allies are
freely and often pointedly ex-
pressed.
In the course of his first
year in office this Judgment of
Mr.. Kennedy and his team
has gone through three rea-
sonably distinct phases.

toral campaign and his

in this instance at least,
seemed to have betrayed a
dangerous impetuosity-act-

misled by his own inexper-
ience and the conflicting
counsel Of too numerous
advisers.
The second phase, which
started about the time of Mr.
kennedy's visit to Europe in
June and his meeting with
Soviet Premier Khrushchev
in Vienna, amounted to al
most a complete reversal of
this earlier opinion. During
this period Mr.. Kennedy was
criticized as being, if any,
thing. too cautious and diff
fident in his conduct of
American foreign policy.
Somehow the expected con-
tidence and energy seemed
suddenly to have evaporated

Broad Picture of Art

The cultural advancement
OF any major city, here and
abroad, is a matter which
demands devoted and con-
tinuous attention. 1t won t
happen if we sit on our
hands. Here are a few items
which demand such atten-
ton:
Living art at the White
House. Katharine Kuh, art
critic Of the Saturday Re-
view. recently declared that
as a showplace Of America,
the White House ought to
show contemporary paintings
and sculpture" The White
House infatuation with
American antiques is good
for the antique dealers, but
what about showing some
concern as other nations
do with contemporary art?
Perhaps the White House
would do something along
this line II assured that the
newspaper and magazine pub
licity would be equally as
good as it has been for the
antique hunt, and probably
even better.
Federal Advisory Council
on the Arts. This bill was
defeated in the House last
September by a vote of l73
to l66. Thirty-one Repub-
licanS voted for it, SO against.
Those Republicans who voted
against it must have thought
it was a Democratic plan.
Actually, it was first pro-
posed by President Eisen-
hover in 1855. If this bill
is to become law, former
President Eisenhower must
work for it and persuade his
own party leaders in Con-
gress to vote for it.
Keith's Theater. Let me
commend Morris Cafritz for
his most generous offer many
months ago to give this great
theater and the building
which houses it to the city
Of Washington. Mr.. Cafritz
asked for no special treat
ment and no amendment of
the tax laws would have been
required to accept his offer.
He would have received ex-
actly the same treatment al
ready given the donors of
the Corcoran. Freer. Mellon
and Phillips art galleries and
the galleries in other United
States cities. Yet his NUM-
ficent offer was lightly
brushed aside.
Many capable observers
have declared that the Ma
tional Cultural Center is
many years in the future.

pie throughout the country
to contribute $75 million for

Background Of Babson
American business has no
more inspiring personality than
Roger w. Babson, inter1,ation-

tator and investment adviser.
An outstanding feature of his
philosophy has been his lifelong
insistence on the Importance of
both religion and advertising in
business.
Born and reared in an old
fashioned atmosphere of hard
work and hustle on a farm in
Gloucester, MI. Babson went to
the Massachusetts, Institute of
Technology. Upon graduating,
he turned instinctively to fin
ancial and business activities in
which his father was engaged.
His exertions, however,
undermined his health; he con-
tracted tuberculosis and he was
sent West "as good as dead"! It
was while he was convalescing
