Delay Is Cited in Answering Criticism
Of Robert Kennedy-Menshiko Meeting

: before the Secretary left the
country;
The letter follows:
Dear Mr.. Secretary:
First I should like to con-
gratulate you for the splendid
off the record presentation
that you gave to the Senate
House Foreign Policy group
at luncheon last week. AS I
wrote you when you first took
office. I was delighted with
your appointment and I have
no cause for regret over my
vote of confidence. I increas-
ingly like your brand of quiet
diplomacy
Therefore, I was all the
more disturbed when I read
yesterday, in a column by
Joseph Alsop, of a meeting,
apparently supported by the
President. between the At
torney General, unaccom-
panied by anyone else,. and
the Soviet Ambassador to the
United States, Mr.. Menshi-
kov. According to the Alsop
report, Berlin and related
matters of the greatest SEN
Sitivity, possibly affecting
the safety of the entire world,
were discussed, the Attorney
General repeatedly auth
orized to speak for the Presi-
dent.

Khrushchev Tells West: Surrender

may prove to be, are based
on this suggestion in the
speech:
1--WE propose that it should
be stipulsted in the peace
treaty that the free city of
West Berlin shall be granted
the freedom of communica-
ton with the outside world.
We agree to the establish
ment of any most effective
guarantees of the independ-
ent development and the Sc
curity of the free city of West
Berlin"
But Mr.. Khrushchev wants
an end to any military oc-
cupation of West Berlin and,
when Western troops have
been removed, he expects East
German Communists to take
care of the people of Berlin.
He says that access to Ber-
lin and the question of a
peace treaty as a whole is
only a pretext" for the West,
and that if the peace treaty
were dropped, it would be re-
garded as a strategic break
through and would widen the
range of their CWestern) de-
mands at once" He then re-
veals his true reason for stir
ring up the Berlin crisis and
for his basic fears, as he
says: '..
They (the West) would
demand the liquidation of the
Socialist system in the Ger
man Democratic Republic
East Germany. Were they
to attain that, too, they
would, of course, set the task
of annexing from Poland and
Czechoslovakia the territor-
les restored to them under
the Potsdam agreement.
And were the Western powers
to- attain all this. they would
advance their main claim:
the abolition Of the Socialist
system in all countries of the
Socialist camp. This is what
they would like to do right
now"
So the stalemate continues,
and the big question is
whether Mr.. Khrushchev will
really start a war. His words
are strong, but they are no
more to be trusted than
those of any dictator. Hence
the West has no choice but
to insist on a free Berlin
and even a free and reuni-
fled Germany.

Lindsay Awaits Rusk's Reply

IF the report is correct,
I am deeply disturbed about
this turn of events.
First, it by-passes your
office and your Department,
and in so doing runs great
risks.
Second, it appears to be
part of a growing pattern
namely, the conduct of for
eign relations in a casual or
loose-reined ad hoe manner,
too often involving person.
alities unframed in foreign
policy and the art of di-
plomacy.
Third, it makes it diff
cult for those of us who have
a responsibility to our con-
stituents and to the country
to make sound evaluations
which should lead to BIZ
partisan support on foreign
policy.
IT should be pleased If you
would advise me whether the
meeting occurred as reported.
If so, I would like to know
the circumstances surround
ing it and your frank opin-
ion as to whether this is a
proper way in which to con-
duct foreign policy in gen.
eral or to. negotiate on the
explosive question of Berlin.
Respectfully yours,

Myths and Facts of Foreiqn Aid

Second. we have simply got
to strengthen our alliances,
cost what it may.
Mr.. Khrushchev has Just
appealed to the neutrals to
come over to his side on Ber-
lin. True, our past help to
neutrals has often been
sourly returned. Still, they
have at least not yet gone
over to the Soviet Union. Call
it "blackmail," call it any
thing. We must keep those
nations from going all the
way.
Third. the new Kennedy
program is prudent and
sensible and non-partiSan.
The five-year authority is
for our own benefit. Only in
this way can we demand real
self-help and cooperation
from the recipients - and.
make that demand stick.
Nobody dealing in large sums
can soundly plan for only a
year at a time, as every
businessman knows.
Finally, Congress knows
foreign aid cannot be junked
at this hour anyhow. 1t all
really comes to this: Can the

Program Called Builder Of Strength
For Free World Against Soviet
WILLIAM S. WHITE

Myth-making bedevils the
great and somber issues in
President Kennedy's revised
foreign-aid program. Our ma
tional insistence on pressing
complicated questions into
six-word slogans is a most
dangerous habit here.
All the truth simply cannot
be put into a few words. And
yet there is urgent need for
public understanding of all
the truth. This column is
written by a man wholly in
favor of the program, but 1t
is intended to put all the
main factS-on both sides
into the record.
Myth. Foreign aid, though
costing us billions, has made
us no friends" Fact. Foreign
aid is in some ways wasteful
at present; a plan to stop
admitted waste is at the heart
Of the new bill. But it has
made us many powerful
friendS-or, more exactly, it
has enabled friends to remain
effective members of the free
alliance.
Myth. President Kennedy
now struggles with Congress
over a lot of money. Fact.
The real argument is not over
amount. 1t is over his request
for authority to make aid
commitments to foreign
countries running over five
years without having to come
each year to Congress for new
money.
Myth. This is an effort to
bypass Congress" in its
constitutional power to make
all appropriations. Fact.
This is, indeed, an attempt to
bypass somebody, for a lin
tied term Of five years. But
this somebody is not "Con-
gress." 1t is actually a single
one Of the several subcom-
mittees Of a single commit
tee-that on Appropriations

When a member of Con-
gresS does not receive a re-
ply to a letter he has written
a member Of the, Presidents
cabinet it is news. for Con-
gress controls the purse
strings.
1t is especially noteworthy
when this occurs in the Ken
nedy administration, which
is justly renowned for its
personal courtesy to Senators
and Representatives. The
noteworthiness increases
when the letter is written
by a liberal internationalist
who is also a Republican.
Few Democrats receive
from their President and his
aides the tender loving care
accorded such Republicans,
who are all too few for Ken
nedy purposes in. this session

past decade or so. Perhaps
so per cent of our jobless are
lacking in skills required for
today's Jobs. Many are not
well educated enough to take
training.
Yet, we have a Congress
which has defeated Federal
aid to education. We have
men, themselves cogs in local
situations, many of which
are corrupt, who oppose Fed
eral aid on the false and
hypocritical premise that it
will weaken local Govern
ment.

generations and more, have
given their children second
rate education. The South

least per pupil and pay
teachers less. continue to try
: and maintain two generally
inferior segregated systems
instead of taking what
money they have and build
ing the best possible one to
meet the needs of their
children.
There is today a justified
concern with Communist ad-
vances. But we are fools in
deed If we blind ourselves to
the fact that the most sue
cessful weapon the Soviets
have is a system of education
which, while slanted toward
their needs, nonetheleSs gives
to every child a chance at
education.
Does this country have any
less responsibility to educate
all its children; to find the
most able to serve us?
Mr.. Khrushchev and his
successors will have reason
to be grateful to those who
sabotage and delay Federal
aid. In a time when we are
seeking to ferret out the
, enemies Of freedom, let us
not overlook some of the
more obvious and blatant
ones.

DAVID LAWRENCE
Soviet Dictator Says This Is the Way
Free World Con End War Psychosis'

N.EUROPE- All that Nj
kita Khrushchev wants is the
surrender of the West on.
the Berlin issue without war.
This. he is confident, would
do away, with the "war psy-
chosiS," and he frankly de-
clares that the further
development of communism
would thus be assured, not
only in East Germany but in
the satellite countries as we'll,
which, he confesses, might.
otherwise succumb to West
ern influence.
A reading of the full text
of the speech of the Soviet
Premier on Monday night re-
veals a bold demand for sur,
render couched in argument
ative but. seemingly concilia-
tory language Parts of the
speech could well have been
uttered by President Kennedy
or by any other Western
statesman. For example, Mr..
Khrushchev says: -a..
Life demands that states
men should not only say rea-
sonable things but also should
not permit themselves in poll
tics to cross the line when
the voice of reason falls ST..
lent and a. blind and dan
gerouS game with the desti-
mics of peoples and states
begins. -. 1885,:
Let us honestly meet at a
round table conference. Let
us not create a war psychosis.
Let us clear the atmosphere.
Let us rely on reason and not
on the power of thermonu-
clear weapons"
But such passages were
interviewer with denuncia-
tlonS Of the alleged war pas
sions Of the West, and with
boasts that the Soviets can
destroy not only the United
States. but Western Europe,
with thermonuclear weapons.
Mr.. Khrushchev blandly re-
verses himself again: and
again, and; instead of using
the voice of reason, employs
the voice Of the bully as he
says: o..
'"If the Western powers
persist in their refusal to
sign a German peace treaty,
we shall have to settle this
problem without them. 1t

mittees of Congress.
theoretically, all commit
tees are under the thumb OF
Congress itself. But in
reality not all are in genuine
control, and certainly not in
the large and unwieldly
House. What this single
House subcommittee recon-
mends will usually be what
the House itself does. The
total House membership
cannot possibly know the
endlessly detailed facts; in
the end it must follow the
subcommittee.
And this subcommittee
happens to be headed by a
man, Representative Pass
man Of Louisiana, who is
hostile to all foreign aid. He
has never actually been able
to halt the program, true
enough. But the position may
be compared to one in which
the president of a huge con-
struction firm working on a
five-year dam project must
go each and every twelve
months to the bookkeeper to
beg for enough money to
finish a job which the book,
keeper never believed in.
Moreover there is nothing
novel in Is five-year au-
thority. Lesser advance ap-
propriations have many
times been made, repeatedly,
to carry forward farm sub
Sidy programs.
1t is wrong to claim that
the power the President
seeks is a trifling thing. 1t is
a very grave thing. But it is
completely justified on highly
practical grounds. First, any
President has unique per-
sonal responsibilities in for
eign affairs and ought to be
given leeway to meet them.
