trade despite lower European
wage levels.
The Twentieth Century Fund
study-headed by Mr.. Dewhurst,
economist and former director Of
the Twentieth Century Fund, who
did a similar large-scale study Of
Americas Needs and Resources"
in 1947 and 1955-covers the six
common market countries,
France, West Germany, Belgium,
Holland, Luxembourg and italy,,
the seven countries of the Euro
pean Free Trade Association
UNITED Kingdom, Sweden, Nor
way, Denmark, Switzerland, Aus
tria and PortugaD and five coun-
tries outside the. two groups -
Finland, Iceland, Ireland, Spain
and Greece.
Finland has recently applied
for membership in the European
Free Trade body and Greece and
Ireland in the Common Market.
If the United Kingdom joins the
Common Market, the other ETA
countries-except possibly the
three neutrals, Sweden, Switzer-
land and Austria-seem likely to
follow suit.
Economic Power
The study anticipates some sig
nificant changes in the relative
economic power of the European
countries between 1855 and 1910.
In 1855 Great Britain ranked first
in gross national product ($53.6
billion. BY 1870 Britain is still
($4l.8 billion) and France ($40.3
billion. By 1870 Britain is still
expected to be first in GNP
($73.7 billion), but the study pre-
diets France will have moved
ahead of Germany with $66.5 bill
lion against 1892 billion in GIMP.
Giving further figures on the
miracle of European recovery
after World War II, the report
points out that gross national
product in Western Europe
measured in constant prices has
risen by some 70 per cent since
1898.
Industrial production is more
than twice as large as in that
year, while agricultural produc-
ton has expanded by more than
a third.
This productive achievement,
the authors stress, has been ac-
companied by social and politi-
cal changes of great significance.
Although the countries of West
ern Europe have rejected doc
trinaire socialism, they have fully
accepted the welfare state. Gov
ernments have come to accept re-
sponsibility for promoting full
employment and economic growth
and for protecting the individual
against economic hazard.
1T is a paradox" the authors
write, that it is the countries of
Western Europe, in which capital
ism is experiencing a dynamic
revival, rather than those of the
socialist camp, that have moved
so rapidly towards the commu-
mist goal. From each according to
his abilities, to each according to
his need"

magne tried and failed. So did
Napoleon. But they tried war.
Now, after Is years Of peace,
Western Europe is unified and
rich beyond roSiest prediction.
Here are some Of the facts and
pOrtents of this abundant to-
getherness.
By the Associated Press
Europe has a maid shortage. so
what?
This seeming domestic nui-
sance in fact has the greatest
significance. 1t stems from a po-
litical and economic revolution
achieved in is years Of peace
where centuries of war had failed.
In a word, Europe, unified as
never before, is booming.
Just around the corner are the
clogged highways, cleaning
kitchens and split-level living
that have made Americas stand
ard Of living unrivaled in history.
Just how long is this great leap
forward is masSively detailed in
the newly published book "Eu-
ropes Needs and Resources" pub
hshed by the Twentieth Century
Fund after five-year study.
Take the maid shortage. 1t
springs from the increased eco
nomic opportunities for the Eu-
ropean, from a breaking down Of
rigid class society. That the de-
parture of the butler and up
stairs maid from the manor
hasn't had a more severe effect
on the aristocracy is due to the
labor saving appliances that have
replaced Mr.. and Mrs. Jeeves in
the kitchen - tools Of bountiful
living marked made in Europe"
At a time Of crisis over Berlin
and the battle to WOO and win
the uncommitted nations, Eu-
ropes sudden prosperity has great
import to the free world. In Eu-
rope, all the curves are bending
upwards, the study shows.
More Goods Consumed
1t shows that the 18 countries
on the near side Of the Iron Cur
tain, only 16 years after the end
of the most destructive war in
modern history, are consuming
nearly so per cent more goods
and services than they did in the
years just before outbreak of
World War II.
Furthermore, the future looks
even brighter. The new study es-
Inmates that by 1910 the 18
countries will have a total popu-
lation of 800 million and a COM
bined gross national output of
S342 billion, an increase Of SIS per
cent over the base" year Of 1855.
It was on the basis Of such
figures as these that a. team of
American and European experts
concluded that Western Europe is
now in a position to show the
world an example of what West
ern philosophy and Western eco
nomic institutions and business
methods can accomplish.

u. N. Seen Losing World Prestige

The 81 votes Of the ma
jority came largely from the
African states. Twenty mem
bers from other continents
officially abstained, three
were absent. and nine did
not participate in the voting.
The United States, Britain,
France and the Scandinavian
countries were among those
that did not participate.
Adlai Stevenson. the United
States ambassador. was not
present when the action was
taken, but later in the day he
said that, while he disagreed
with Mr.. Louw's views. he
supported the latter's right
to express them. 1t is un-
fortunate that Mr.. Steven
son did not say this before
the voting took place, so that
some word from the largest
democracy in the world might
have been placed in the Of
ficial record before the i'll
fated voting. There were, Of
course. deputies present in
the American delegation. and
it also was known the day
before what the African states
were contemplating. So it
is inexplicable that nobody
in the United States dele
CATION stood up beforehand
to defend free speech in the
United Nations General As
sembly.
The United Nations will
lose whatever respect 1t has
had throughout the world If
its boaSted forum for free
debate Is marred by a de-
nunciation Of the right Of
free speech.
The United Nations is
losing ground by its tactics
in other ways, too. 1t is re-
ported In the press, for in
stance, that there is in the
making a deal to admit Outer
Mongolia. a satellite Of the
Communists, in exchange for
Moscow's agreement not to
veto the admission of Maur-
itania. another Of the new
African states. Such braZen
barter is an example Of the
lack of morality exhibited
today in the United Nations

hover says, in spirit, the same
thing. He recalls that the
American colonists, too, lived
all their lives in tension and
in danger.
Forever hanging over us
today is the atomic weapon.
But forever hanging over
those early Americans was a
threat which could bring an
individual death quite as
final = the Indian attack
from arrow or fire.
Mr.. Kennedy is anxious
that in fatigue and nervous
ness we do not demand quick
and easy solutions of vast and
complicated world problems
for which there never will be
such easy solutions.
He wants us to recognize
that rational firmness does
not rule out rational flexibil-
ity, and vice versa, just as
Mr.. Eisenhower in his time
tried to instruct the country
in the same reality.
What they are both saying
now is that this is a world
none of us on this side of the
earth ever made, and one
not all of us on this side Of
the earth can ever wholly
control.
They are saying that we
must learn to abide peril in
calm n ess and in adult
strength Of purpose, not
letting that knowledge make
of us either reckless fools
courting ultimate disaster or
covering parodies of men.
They are warning us not
to listen to the extremists,
the crackpots. These are the
people of short. hot. purple
and foolish words. These are
the other people of long,
tepid. involved, pompous and
foolish words.
The short-worders regard
any kind of effort at negotia-
ton, however wise and deter
mined, as "softnesS," as
surrender" They believe

brave: they are, in fact, only
silly.
The long -worders regard
the use Of any kind of power,
in any circumstances, as in
delicate and wrong and in
bad taste. They believe them
selves to be immensely adult
and sophisticated. But in fact
they live in a precious self
petted world which believes
that great in tern a tional
crises can rimply be talked
out of existence. by suitably
brainy types, of course.
Neither set is any good in
a showdown. The short-word-
ers, the shouters for a fight
right away and damn the
consequences, are the fellows
who wind up, when war ac-
tually comes, as often over
ranked officers in the supply
corps, far behind the line.
When war actually comes,
the long-worders, the men
who believe that talking is
enough if only it is brilliant"
enough, often wind up as
me-front chairmen of
committees in "the war eff
fort" or as psychological
warriors" or some such. -
All this is not to say that
the short-worders should be
shot and the long-worders
given the extreme penalty
a command never to say an
other word again. 1t only
means that the country must
learn to evaluate and then to
forget them. =

lesson which two somber men,

and the other its most recent

What Kennedy has to de-

Doing nothing has risks for
Kennedy fully as great is ac-

confronts President Kennedy
with a political decision of
the. first magnitude.
Republicans know that
they dare not go much fur
ther in their political at
tacks than the only Presi-
dent they have managed to
elect since 1882. This is how
far he went at II last Sat-
urday, less than 10. months
after he handed over the
office he had held for eight
years: -
The spending policy Of the
Kennedy administration is
"Spendthrift if not downright
profligate." The Cuban in
vasion was a stupid blunder.
The costly Kennedy space
program is a stunt. Its basic
motivation, as in other Ken
nedy spending programs,
stems from the desire to per-
petuate himself in office.
This is the stuff to give
the troops Republican
troops, that is-when it is
desired that they should
spring once more into the

what Eisenhower wants them
to do in the only two ma

The African countries

when the right of self f-deter-
mination is claimed by the

Mr.. Louw called attention
also to steps taken Only last
week Ito convert Ghana into

added that the ruler OF
.Ghana is flirting with Mos

that Guinea has become "a
disciple Of Moscow" and that
the state Of Mali appears to
be going the same way" and
so are other states in Africa.
None of this was liked by
the African delegates to the

together on a vote to censure.
This is something unprece-
