Proqress at Loqos

The donation summit" conference
at Lagos, Nigeria, has borrowed a leaf
from the Western Hemisphere in unan-
imously deciding to form a continent
wide African association comparable to
the Organization of American States.
The association, which probably will
require years of development, will be
governed by charter that is expected
to be completed in the spring and
ratified by the founding governments
before the end of the year. When it
is finally put into operation, the sig
natory countries will work through an
Inter-African Assembly and Council of
Ministers. This will be permanent ma
chinery designed to promote mutual
progress, settle disputes peacefully, pre-
vent aggression or SubverSion, and help
guarantee the sovereign equality of all
the members. The idea is promising
one. In adopting it, along with specific
measures for immediate cooperative
action in such fields as health, educa-
ton, trade and transport, the Lagos
confereeS have taken laudable first
steps toward the sort of unity that
Africa Sorely needs.

Letter of the Law

More than a hundred communities
in the Boston area were so successful
with novel teen-agerS' traffic safety
experiment that Governor Volpe of
Massachusetts, has asked them to con-
tinue the plan on year-round basis.
Known as the Letter of the Law" safety
drive, the program called for the send
ing of letter by the Chief of Police to
the parents of every teen-ager riding
in car halted by police during the past
Christmas-New Year holiday season.
The letter made it clear that while the
boy or girl passenger was not accused
of any violation, the lives of the pas
sengers had been put in jeopardy through
improper operation of the vehicle-a
fact which the police thought the parents
would like to know. Many such letters
were mailed-and a drastic drop in
serious accidents among teen-agers was
recorded.
The idea originated with a Boston
priest, Rev. Kenneth B. Murphy, director
of Catholic Youth Adjustment Coun-
selors Of Greater Boston In commencing
the priest, Governor Volpe suggested
that State and local law enforcement
authorities adopt the plan on a per-
manent basis. We would like to go fur
ther and suggest that the plan be given
trial in other munities-including
those of the Washington Metropolitan
Area. We believe that most parents would
appreciate receiving this sort of CO.
operation from the police in safeguard
ing their children from the recklessness
of others.

Pans Transit Planners

Now that WaShington's
once fine street railway sys-
tenn lies in ruins, will the
truth about this despoliation
creep from out the foxholes
around the District Building?
In April, 1854, the Senate
District Committee made a
report (No. 1274) to Congress
on public transportation
which contained suggestions
that all of the then existing
street railway lines be ex-
tended along private rights
of-Way into the suburban
areas in order to improve
the service. The report traced
the course of financial pillage
by transit interests and de-
plored the fact that the
downward trend" of public
transportation in the District
had not been reversed.
In setting up the National
Capital transportation
Agency in 1860, Congress
contemplated that these la
inevitable trends" might at
last be reversed. At the same
time it confessed that the
1856 franchise bus conversion
proviso had been enacted
under a Misrepresentation as
to the value of electric rail-
way systems. Far from being
reversed, the trends" have
been accelerated. Indeed, the
Public Utilities Commission
was even bold enough to in
sist upon bus conversion de-
spite the saving clause in the
1860 act because of the
monkey see, monkey do"
argument which pointed glee-
fully to past and continuing
trends"
For 40 years the vehicular
traffic-makers have been
busy promoting the self
same trends" which today's
charlatans say are "inevit-
able" One good trend de-
serves another, and so it is
with a lie. The willful wreck
ing of Washington's Streetcar
system swings upon a lie. One
successful swindle begets an
other and another and an
other, until from out of the
swamp a trend" is raised up
to hide our moral shame, and
cover up the lie with a pretty
name. Mark A. LilIis.

Potomac Authority?

1t will be hard enough, as current
controversies attest, to agree on firm
plan Of development for the Potomac
River Basin. To find an equitable BASIN
wide formula for financing these i'm
provements may prove even more diff
cult. It is fortunate, therefore, that rep
reSentatives Of Maryland, Virginia,
Pennsylvania and the District of Column
bia already have begun a series of ex-
ploratory meetings on this subject.
At the initial session, called by Com
missioner Tobriner, the representatives
were told by Colonel Warren R. johnson,
Of the U. S. Army Engineers, that basic
development costs probably will be in
the neighborhood of $500 million, spread
over 50-year period. 1t may be antici-
pated, he said, that initial construction
will be financed by the Federal Govern
ment. While the Government will share
in the cost, however, large part of the
financial burden also will fall on the
State and District jurisdictions.
AS Colonel Johnson suggested, some
sort of basin-wide authority seems to be
by all odds the most logical and sensible
means of dealing with the problem This
possibility apparently received consider
able attention at the initial meeting, al
though few details on this point were
made public. Certainly one possibility
which should be investigated, in, our
opinion, is that the functions of the ex-
listing Interstate Commission on the Po-
tomac River Basin might be expanded
to take over the necessary economic and
political chores.
The State of West Virginia unfor-
tunately was not represented at the first
meeting. We trust that this does not in
dictate any reluctance on the part of West
Virginia to participate in such discus
sions, for no regional authority or, for
that matter, no agreement of any sort

which they have to this point
been reluctant to do.
Do we really want the Fed
eral Government to manage
the problems of our cities
and city dwellers? Manage
ment of farmers has proved
less than a huge success dur
ing the several past admin
istrations. What is there to
indicate greater promise for
urban affairs?
Perhaps the euphemism of
Federal aid will be explained
as indicating the combina-
ton of centralized control
with grants which are them
selves made possible only by
increased taxation. Certainly
someone must pay for all
of the loans and outright
grants. The Federal Govern
ment may act as paymaster,
but the monies are drained
from the citizens, both rural
and urban.
The issue should be quite
outside the partisan political
sphere. Democrats and Re-
publicans will be found on
both sides of the question:
Do we want more Federal
control and management,
more Federal aid and tax
alton? Do we want urban
affairs directed from Wash
ington?
To those who say that a
cabinet post will provide ad-
vice, the answer is that local
governments, their police and
other departments, have al
ready organized, and can
themselves make common
plans and offer advice to
their members. This has been
done without the Federal fl
nancial support which some
now advocate.

Sidewalk Superintendents on New u. S. Structure

Having watched Congress
constantly rolling over and

cation of bureaucratic crack

have wondered about the
cause of this phenomenon.
In retrospect, it seems that
Congress backbone turned to
spaghetti about the time of
Roosevelt; otherwise it would
never have submitted to the
constant browbeating it has
taken from the Federal bu-
reaucracy and judiciary, as a
result of which we are moral
ly and fiscally bankrupt with
only the tattered remains of
the Constitution as our chill
dren's heritage.
If our Senators and Con-
gresSmen, individually, had
the vertebrate of an earth
worm they would never have
stood still for the Washing
ton Comic Opera, Castro
would be hanging from a
convenient. tree, the Berlin
wall would be rubble and Mr..
Kennedy'S Urban Department

tom of the Potomac. But these
things have not happened.

Cuba Condemned

1t is difficult for us to, follow the
reasoning of those who interpret the
actions taken at the conference of GAS
foreign ministers as blow to the pres
tige Of the United States.
True enough, our delegation, ably
led by Secretary of State Rusk, did not
get all that it would have liked. One
seldom does in gatherings of this sort.
And on the key resolution-that to
exclude Cuba from the Organization
OF American States-we just managed
to muster the necessary two-thirds
vote. But even this was considerable
aehievement-much more than was in
reach a year ago. Furthermore, those
countries which refused to support
the resolution-Brazil, Argentina, Chile,
Mexico, Bolivia and Ecuador-did not
vote against it, Instead, they abstained
not because they wanted Cuba in
the GAS but because they doubted the
legality of exclusion without amend
ment Of the GAS treaty, and also be-
cause Of political considerations in their
countries.
This more hopeful estimate of the
Punta del Este meeting is supported
by the vote, unanimous except for Cuba,
to condemn CaStro'S Communist regime
and to declare it incompatible with
inter-American principles. In addition,
we obtained favorable action on several
other resolutions-perhaps of lesser i'm
portance but all contributing to an
indictment Of Cuban communism, an
indictment which, in our opinion, her
aids significant awakening through
out Latin America to the threat which
CaStroism raises, not just for one coun-
try, but for all.
No one supposes, of course, that
the walls OF the Communist bastion in
Cuba will start crumbling tomorrow as
result Of the Punta del Este decisions
The fact remains, however, that the
Castro regime has been oStracized, has
been branded, in effect, as a hemi-
spheric outlaw, and the possible long
range benefits from this should not be
underestimate.
There is perhaps one other point
worth mentioning. Those who take a
peSSimlStic view of what has been done
say the unwillingnesS of six countries,
including the biggest in Latin America,
to vote with us reflects an emerging
spirit of independence and means that
they will no longer docilely follow the
lead of the United States. Assuming
this to be the case, it hardly follows
that it is blow to our own country.
We would suggest that, if anything,
it is blow to Fidel Castro. For it will
make it more difficult for him to ped
die his propaganda line that the GAS
is nothing but complaisant tool of
Yankee Imperialism"
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1962-02-01

1t is true that many of the
anti Castro American states,
including the United States,
had hoped for the use of
economic sanctions against
Castro's Cuba through united
action of the GAS. The next
best thing, however, has been
accomplished the custer of
Communist Cuba from the
GAS agencies.
Bipartisan U. S. Delegation
President Kennedy wisely
included in the United States
delegation which went to
Uruguay for the GAS meeting
Democratic and Republican
members of Congress whose
duties involve them closely
with inter-American affairs. +,
Senators Morse, Oregon Dem
ocrat, and Hickenlooper, Iowa
Republican, and Representa-
tives Selden, Alabama Demo-
crat, and Morrow, New Hamp-
shire Republican. 1t happens,
also, that Senator Hicken-
topper is chairman of the Re-
publican Policy Committee of
the Senate, not a bad man
for the Kennedy administra-
ton to have along in any in
ternational meeting. Before
the delegation left Washing
ton, it was we'll understood
that the congressional me-
bers were in favor of the
strongest kind of action that
could be obtained against
Castro and his Communist
dominated Cuban govern
ment.
The six nations which held
out against the custer res
olution and which "ab-
stained" when the vote was
taken are Mexico, Brazil, Arg
entina, Chile, Bolivia and
Ecuador. Their opposition,
their spokesman said, was
based on legal grounds-that
there was nothing in the GAS
agreement constituting the
American agency providing
for the custer of a signatory
to the agreement. Secretary
of State Dean Rusk, who
headed our delegation and
worked hard for unanimity
of action against Castro, ar
gued, on the other hand,
that the foreign ministers
had an implicit right to make
a decision and to act on it.
All of these six nations
have taken part in the for
nation of the Kennedy pro-
posed $20-billion Alliance for
Progress, designed to give
material aid to help their
countries to greater economic
strength and improvement
for the masses of their peo-
pie. The United States is to
take the lead in this program,
and it has been understood
that SO billion would be asked
of Congress this year to
launch it.
1t remains now to be seen
how the President and Con-
gress will look on the pro-
vision of financial aid to the
six abstaining nations, all of
which had favored with en-
thusiasm the Alliance of
Progress program. Such a
program, however, would be
far from the effective instru-
ment it has been pictured if
these six large Latin Amer
lean countries should be left
out.

To MANAGE Abundance

sowing WIlaC is calleQ Cne farm problem
may be considered q miracle man."
And the fact that no administration
has so succeeded in nearly forty years of
trying reflects neither on their inten-
lions nor the seriousness of their eff
forts Basically, the problem arises out
of blessing-the bounteousness of vast
lands which are being made ever more
productive by the skills and instruments
of modern agricultural technology.
In sending to Congress his own
proposals for dealing with this matter
OF great human and economic impor-
lance, President Kennedy has empha-
sized first Of all that this is problem
Of managing abundance, not scarcity,
and that the combination Of our rich
land resources and the advanced tech
niques of utilizing them warrants the
prediction that Gin spite of 65-million
increase in population by 1880 our
farms will be able to produce all we
need with so million fewer acres than
we have in cropland today"
In facing this prospect, Mr.. Ken
nedy defines his detectives as reducing
surpluses, increasing farm income and
lowering direct Federal expenditures
for supporting farm prices. To do all
this he proposes, in brief, an intricate
structure of controls, rewards and pen
alties, OF production quotas and acre
age allotmentS, all designed to reduce
farm output below current needs for
several years while existing SURPRISES
are being reduced, with later increase
equal to the growth in demand. What
he calls new programs involving these
various forms of Government regula-
ton are recommended for feed grains,
wheat and dairy products, plus mod
ification of the existing cotton program.
Only a professional agricultural
economist could offer a ell-informed
opinion about how all this might
work-if the Congress enacts the re-
quired legislation. There is, however,
one seeming paradox in the Presidents
own description of the program as
being one "for maximum freedom and
flexibility" despite the complex system
of partly mandatory, partly coercive
and partly voluntary compliance which
AAO 40 cbonAA46 VI U11C 4o14 4I1OUSUIys AIlU
while emphasis is given to the prospec-
tive savings for taxpayers through the
hoped-for reduction of Federal expen-
ditureS there is no discussion of the
potential impact which the program
might have on the food prices which
these same taxpayers will be facing.
Only by passing reference to seeking
reasonable prices" did the President
recognize this concern, and there was
no explanation of how improving farm
income and reducing Federal costs
could be reconciled without requiring
money from another source-presum-
ably through higher prices to be paid
by the individual consumer
More light, along with the heat
that invariably accompanies consider
alton of farm legislation on Capitol
Hill, would be helpful to further evalu-
alton of the merits in this latest farm
plan.
