pressed for an increase in Army
manpower and a buildup of nom
nuclear weapons.

the Nation in radio-TV address
on Tuesday.
The President asked for:

tive duty strength of the armed
forces, giving them total man
power of 2,735,000

Britain:
Tighter Belt

SeIwyn Lloyd, Chancellor Of
the Exchequer, announced last
week several long expected
measures to avert a wOrsening Of
the British economic situation.
Prime Minister Macmillan said
earlier this month, II don't re-
member a time when the people
were better housed, better clothed,
and had more employment than
now"
His words were backed by these
kind of facts: A recent survey Of
1000 British housewives revealed
that two out of every five had
washing machines-twice as many
as five years ago, and eight out o.
every 10 homes had "tellies"-also
twice the 1856 figure.
British unemployment was down
to a low IL per cent, and some
areas were suffering from labor
shortages. Picadilly was crowded
with tourists; department stores
were buster than ever.
Judging from the domestic
scene, a visitor could we'll repeat
the Conservative Party's 1859 slo-
gan, "You have never had it so
good"

the end of the year-even though
most diplomats including Mr.. Rusk
think a peaceful adjustment" is
possible.
The most, difficult problem now
facing the United States is per-
suading it's NATO allies to finance
more of the defense bill in Europe
both in men. and money.
The problem is underscored by
what appears to be a general
apathy on the part of the Euro
pean public to the threat of war, as
well as specific problems in indi-
vidual countries. Great Britain for
instance, is launching an austerity
program and France is still tied
down in North Africa.
Despite these difficulties, Mr..
Rusk said he was encouraged"
by the initial responses of the
NATO countries to Mr.. Kennedy's
call for increased cooperation.
The West still had not heard
from Mr.. KhruShchev. who is
vacationing in the Black Sea re-
sort of Sochi. The Soviet chief
met with disarmament negotiator
McCloy last week. but the con-
tents of their talks was not made
public.

Only Skin Deep

Last weeks economic DEGREES,

economy has slumped badly, anc
that the prosperity" is only sur
face deep.
Britain has been traditionally
trading country. AS recently as
1850, Britain commanded Is per
cent of all export markets. But in
recent years, other countries have
produced quality goods cheape:
than Britain and have driven her
out of many markets.
German and French cars for
instance, have all but displaced
British automobiles in some parts
of the world, and the story is the
same in other commodities as well
Last year, Britain's share of thu
world market fell to 16 per cent!
and the tight little island regis
tered a 1868 million deficit in its
balance of payments. Indications
are that the deficit has increased
this year.
The British tastes for consumer
goods, moreover, led to an increase
in imports. This, of course, accen-
tuated the trade imbalance.
Thus, a 10 per cent rise in the
rate of customs and excise taxes
was called for as a step to reduce
the amount of consumer goods
entering the country. The rise from
to per cent in the bank rate
will inhibit unnecessary spending
and help restore confidence in the
pound sterling.
The decision to impose these
and other measures was a serious
political setback for the Conserva-
tives who had campaigned two
years ago on the prosperity" slo-
gan. And the refusal to raise Gov
ernment salaries-eSpecially school
teachers'-while granting certain
high bracket tax concessions may
also hurt the Tories with the
voters.
Earlier in the year. it was ex-
pected that Britain would join the
Common Market whose economy
has been expanding twice as fast
as her own. Members of the Market
have reduced tariffs to such an ex-
tent that British goods have been
all but frozen out.

The G. Line

The pressure for a cutback in
non-defense spending was reflected
in a statement by the Republican
Congressional Committee which
said the Nation cannot afford the
fat of social experimentation at
this time if we are to develop the
sinews of survival"
Senator Byrd of Virginia sounded
a similar note among conservative
Democrats.
Even though President Kennedy
inserted warning in his Tuesday
address that the Nation Should
not neglect the education of our
children" the economy feeling
seemed to bury the Presidents $2.5
billion education bill further than
ever.
Although there was some opinion
that pressure for economies might
affect the Presidents foreign aid
bill, the Berlin crisis seemed to be
helping it. Every rocket rattle by
Premier Khrushchev gives ad-
ditional sustenance to the admin
istration's plea for long-term bor-
rowing authority to help under
developed countries escape the
clutches of communism.
The controversial long-range
borrowing feature, which would
allow the President to bypass con-
gressional appropriations for five
years in financing development
loans. was approved last week by
the foreign affairs committees Of
the Senate and House.
Even so. it appeared likely that
the administration may have to
settle for something less than five

President Kennedy last week
outlined his program for build
ing up the Nations military
preparedness. He called for an
increase in armed forces man.
power and nOn-nuclear fight
ing equipment.
A new sense of determination
settled over the Nation last week.
It was reflected in the message
of the President Tuesday; in the
quick congressional support of the
Presidents program for bolstering
military forces; in the pickup of
enlistments in the armed services;
in the reaction of the man in the
street.
"We will be ready at all times
to talk, if talk will help. But we
must also be ready to resist with
force, if force is used Our
primary purpose is neither prop
aganda nor provocation-but prep
aration."
With this, President Kennedy
set forth his plans to meet Com
munist pressure not only in Ber-
lin, but in other trouble spots
wherever they might occur.
At home, the Presidents pro-
gram means more men in uni
form, more military spending,
more emphasis on civilian de-
fense, possibly more taxes. On
the international level, the Presi-
dent indicated a more aggressive
diplomatic approach and moves
to strengthen the allied military
stance abroad.

Congress

In Congress the reaction was
quick, favorable and bipartisan to
the Presid ent's preparedness
moves. But there were strong de-
mands, particularly from Repub-
licans. for a cutback in nom
defense spending.

There were disadvantages to an
emergency declaration:

.Bizerte:
French Snub

Debate continued In the United
Nations over the Bizerte Incl
dent, but France refused to take
part, despite the fact that Sec
retary General HammarSkjOld
accused it of not abiding with
the Security Council cease fire.
Ever since the United Nations
began debating the Algerian issue
in 1855, France has tended to look
upon the u. N. not so much as
a forum to settle world problems,
but as a place where weaker ma
tions try to gain by words what
they could not possibly gain by
force.
In 1955-and in subsequent years
France has flown in the face of
world opinion and refused to dis
cuss Algeria in the U. N, claiming
that the war there was domestic
issue, not subject to U. N. "inter-
ference"
The Bizerte incident, Of course,
is a different matter. Bizerte is
on Tunisian soil, and the Tunisian
Government wants the French to
evacuate the naval base it has oc-
cupied for more than so years.
But the French are treating U. N.
discussion of the case in much
the same way.
France feels that by bringing
the Bizerte incident to the U. N,
Tunisia-like the Algerian rebels
lis trying to use the U. N. to
obtain what it was not able to
achieve by force of arms" The
rebels want independence, the

rity Council table mute, but ready
to veto any anti-French resolution.
