THE NATIONS CAPITAL

In a recent report to Congress, the Dis
trict of Columbia Commissioners paint a
black picture of our nations capital
Despite the fact that Washington has
prospered with economic activity at a sus-
tanned high level, serious crime has been
increasing every year for the past five years
and is now up fOrty-One per cent since 1857.
Washington has one of the highest rates for
dependent children in the United States, and
thirty-eight per cent of those on the public
rolls are illegitimate.
The tuberculosis rate is we'll above that
of other U. S. cities and the syphilis rate
has been rising in Washington despite the
fact that it has remained fairly constant in
the United States as whole.
At the present time, the white people in
Washington are in minority and it is es-
timated by the Commissioners that in 1870
Washington will be at least two-thirds Ne
gro and one-third white.
1t is regrettable that Washington is no
longer representative type of American
city. Perhaps this is the time we in this
nation should consider moving our capital
to more strategic location. Many people
have. advocated that the nations capital
should be near the center Of the nation In
the event that this nation is forced to fight
a nuclear war, we would be much stronger
with the nations capital III the midwest.

KENNEDY VS.. MCCORMACK

The Kennedy-McCormack political feud
in Massachusetts will continue, Representa-
tive John McCormack's elevation to speak
ership Of the u. S. House of Representatives
Notwithstanding. Both families are fexing
their muscles for the campaign wars, with
Senate seat as the prize-the seat vacated
by President Kennedy.
The Presidents youngest brother Ed
ward, and the speakers nephew, Edward
Mccormack, Jr, both want the spot Ed
ward Kennedy is an assistant district at
torney in Boston. Mccormack is Massa-
chusetts attorney general. Polls show the
latter running we'll ahead of the Presidents
brother, and apparently the McCOrmacks
are ready for a showdown. Harmony ap-
peals went by the board at the recent meet
ing of the Massachusetts Democratic State
Committee meeting, with young McCor-
macks father declaring, "Let the McCor-
macks and the Kennedys fight it OUT
Whether the Massachusetts situation will
further chill the cool relationship between
Speaker Mccormack and the President, only
events will tell 1t is no secret that Mr. Ken
nedy did not want Mccormack to succeed
the late Sam Rayburn Of Texas as House
speaker, but he wished to avoid row with
Congress and kept silent Democrats natur-
ally hope that the intra-party fracas in
Massachusetts will not become too heated.
Both of the contending families like to win,
however, and restraint may not be easy.

JAPS EYE LOST LANDS

The japanese, like the Germans, lost
territory as a result of defeat in World War
III. (Only the Italians, among the three Axis
powers, managed to emerge from defeat
with their mainland territory intact.)
Now the lost islands to the north are one
of the political issues in Japan. The Rus
slams occupied several of the Kurile Islands
north of the four main Japanese Islands,
aand hold them today. The Russians have
no traditional or historical claim to these
islands. They are indisputably Japanese.
But the Russians have limited that the
price for their withdrawal would be the
abrogation of the U. S-Japanese treaty of
mutual defense. This the Japanese are not
prepared to do.
There is a hint Of future trouble for the
United States, however, in the political is
sue over the islands. The United States still
occupies Okinawa. 1t is major bastion in
the U. S. defense system.
But there are already some rumblings
about u. S. possession of this territory in
Japan. The difference between the United
States occupation of former japanese ter
ritory and Russian occupation of nearby
islands is that the United States had sup
piled generous help to a defeated Japan
after Japan attacked the u. S.
Russia, in spite of a non-aggression pact
with Japan, stabbed the Japanese in the back
when they were already defeated for the
primary purpose of grabbing some of its
arch and traditional foes territory.
No one can foresee how long the United
States will continue to maintain its mutual
defense pact with Japan. One would hope
this pact could last for many, many years
As long as it lasts, and the armed forces of
the two countries cooperate, perhaps the
Okinawa question will not grow too hot.

A RECURRENT ISSUE

President Kennedys stand for power to

Common Market countries has stirred up a
hullabaloo The like has not been seen in
tariff matters since Grover Cleveland start
led the nation in 1887
With reelection the following wear al
most certain, Cleveland confined his annual
message to Congress to the one subject of
tariff reduction. He was influenced in part
by dislike for government interference
with the normal course Of business, such as
any tariff legislation must be, and even
more by the accumulation Of large trea-
sury surplus Eyes, that happened in those
days)
His recommendation stirred up the pro

Cleveland lost the election, but less over
the tariff question than because Of party
factiOnal fight in New York State His sue
ceSsor, Benjamin Harrison, took the result
as mandate for a high tariff, and provok-
ed such discomfort that in 1892 Cleveland
beat him for reelection. This is the only
case Of President being elected again after
All interval out of office
Other issues then intervened to distract
much public attention from the tariff, but
it was always an important issue until leg
islation in 1884 made it possible to change
tariffs without covering the whole field of
industry and production. On the whole, the
present mode of tariff legislation and the
changes urged by President Kennedy are
improvements over the old method, where
by tariff rates were decided chiefly by log
rolling.

MEXICAN WELCOME

Something over year ago Mexico adopt
ed what seemed to be a ''get-tough'' policy
toward America and Americans. Statements
issued by some top Mexican government
officials caused flight of capital from the
country, drop in foreign investments and
a slump in tourist traffic.
The situation improved during 1861
but not enough, in the view of Mexico City
officials. They were especially troubled by
the dearth of winter visitors Now the MeXi-
can government has done something about
it. The cost of visitor permits for brief
periods-ive days or less-has been slash
ed from three dollars to so cents. For stays
as long as six days to six months the three
dollar fee remains in effect. No permit is
necessary for the free zone, approximate
ly 25 miles, along the border.
Mexico hopes the new 50-cent fee will
attract Week-enders and holiday tourists
and help restore better relations. That may
come to pass. But what would help the
latter purpose even more would be for Mex
leo to stop straddling the fence on the issue
of what to do about Castros Cuba.

CORN UNLIMITED

When considering the administration s
new farm plan it is helpful to bear in mind
the fundamental problem that confronts the
planners. The task of reducing crop pro
duction and cutting surpluses is difficult and
complex Taking acreage out of production
does not do the job. Farmers react to acre
age restrictions by using advanced methods
that grow more to the acre.
Corn provides the best evidence of this.
During the 1950s the average per-acre yield
was AL bushels. Research has helped far
mers raise this average to 60.5. The gov
ernment has about S2.3 billion tied up in
surplus corn at this time, despite efforts to
restrict production.
This is not all. Scientists now are at
work on projects that we'll may throw
monkeywrench into the latest administra-
tion plan to solve the problem of super
abundance. "Multi-eared' corn is in the
testing stage If this hybrid lives up to eX-
pectations, that 60.5-bushel average will
come to seem picayune.
Fhe ears will be smaller than those Of
varieties now in use, but there will be six
ears per stalk. One experimental plot, it is
reported, produced 163 bushels per acre.
Should such yields become commonplace, it
will take more than political corn to bring
the surplus problem under control.
