The pains and perils Of

President Kennedy and may

Michigan, Democrat Pat Nc
Namara.
Senator Mcnamara does
not approve of a Republican

given an interim appointment
by former President Eisen-

is by no means assured Of
harmony in the future. For,
although it was decided by
resolution to give political
form and substance" to the
organization, there are diff
erences of opinion as to what
formula shall be applied.
France, for example, with
the strong nationalistic phi
losophy that is expressed so
often by President de Gaulle,
is inclined more toward the,
idea of a loose federation OF

eventually of French leader.

are veering toward a supra
national" union, or some
thing analogous to the
United States of America.
Since decisions on this point
can be taken only by unani-
nous vote, it would seem that
political integration is a long
way off.
There is, therefore, greater
enthusiasm among the small
er countries over the decision
of Britain to enter the Com

than there is in Paris. The
presence of two major powers
France and Britain - in
the enlarged Common Mar

lessen the political emphasis
and keep the organization
preoccupied, as it inevitably
must be, with the technically
difficult questions of tariff
changes to be applied as be-

countries. For, while a free
trade setup is the goal, all
sorts of special arrangements
may have to be worked out
in the transition period, par
ticularly in Britain's trade re-

monwealth countries.
In the final analysis, the

IN EUROPE. - It's a
strange paradox that while
the American people are
worrying over the Berlin
crisis and whether military
reserviSts will soon be called
up for active duty, the peo-
pies of Europe are talking
excitedly about Great
Britain's momentous decision
Ito join the Continent" For
while, strictly speaking, the
British are merely applying
for membership in the Euro
pean Economic Community
known as the Common Mar
ket"-the speculation all the
way from Moscow to the far
away Commonwealths OF
Canada and Australia is con-
cerned with what the move
may mean by way of Euro
pean political union.
On its face, the discussion
of political purposes in an
international sense is puz-
zling. For. after all, the
North Atlantic Treaty Or
ganization already includes
all of the members of the
Common Market" countries,
known as 1.-The Six" It also
embraces four of the coun-
tries - Britain, Sweden, Nor
way, Denmark - associated
together in a rival organiza-
ton known as the European
Free Trade Association, or
THE Seven" Moscow, indeed,
sarcastically calls the whole
combination just another
economic subdivision OF
NATO."
But the truth is that poll
tical solidarity in Europe in
the long run is dependent on
economic prosperity. The
drive now is to assure the
formation of such a powerful
economic alliance that 1t
could, if it liked, play a de-
