aptly described as the kind

the world.
AT present we are already
feeling the pinch resulting
from the influx OF foreign
cars, steel, and other prod
ucts. Unless labor leaders
recognize this threat, they
may well wind up 'unionizing'
unemployment"
Mr.. Kennedy has failed also
in the matter of tax reform
and especially in planning
that would stimulate an in
creased volume of business
out of which the Government
could derive more and more
tax receipts. He has failed,
moreover, to furnish a COM
prehenSive plan of how he
is going to deal with the busi-
nesses that would be injured
by low tariffs. All this adds
up finally to a loss of con-
fidence.
Much of the difficulty is
the fact that alf-baked
plans are launched without
being thought through. The
proposal to lower tariffs has
many champions, even
among businessmen, but this
doesn't solve the problems of
those who are going to be
hurt by such action. Likewise,
when the administration is
reported to be planning to
ask Congress for power to
raise or lower taxes at will,
there is little thought given
to the psychological damage
such a proposal can do to
public confidence.
Only the President can re-
store the confidence he has
lost. If he fails to win it,
then the election next au-
tumn Of another political
party to the majority posi-
ton in Congress would not
be surprising. For Mr.. Ken
nedy's leadership or lack of
it is bound to be the 'ssue

cause the economic appara-
tus which was expected to
boom this year isn't getting

while, the stock market, as
a forecaSter of events to
come, seems to be taking a
gloomy view of the future.
1t certainly is a time for
some experienced and broad
viSioned businessmen to be
summoned to help steer the
ship of state.

DAVID LAWRENCE

Confidence is a many-sided
and elusive thing. An admin
istration may readily boast
of why it has won the con-
fidence Of the country, but
isn't always so sure of the
reasons when that same con-
fidence is lost.
The Kennedy administra-
tion may show up well on
Gallup polls, but the sad
truth is that it has failed
to win the confidence of the
numerically small roster of
men who operate every day
the economy Of the United
States. They are the busi-
nessmen who must borrow
money and risk capital for
new plants or for the develop
ment of new markets. They
are the men who are respon-
sible for attaining profit mar
gins that will attract inves-
tors. They are also the men
whose ingenuity and plan
ming ability result in the
creation of more and more
jobs.
Today the unemployment
problem according to figures
just released-shows no signs
of being solved. The stock
market is sagging. Anxiety
among businessmen is wide
spread. There is a prospect of
another steel strike and pos
Sibly another retardation of
the economy as a whole.
Why is President Kennedy
not making headWay on this
front? He is personally COR
dial to businessmen and to
everybody else. He is earnest
and sincere. He is trying hard
to make good. But when it
comes to an understanding
of what makes the wheels
go round in business, his edu-
cation as a President has not
progressed far enough for
him to recognize the true
weakness of his own admin
iStration.
Mr.. Kennedy is often torn
between the conflicting view
points of his advisers. Most
of them are alert-minded and
forward-looking and want
to do everything possible to
make the Kennedy admins
tration succeed. But they are

whatever that choice may be,
he is determined to put an

Gen. de Gaulle's belief that

Portugal's sea power made
her a giant in the world. Goa
was the capital of the Portu-
guese empire. Even distant
Ceylon was a part of the rich
spice holdings. The Roman
Catholic church established a
biShopric in Goa and began
building a magnificent cathe-
dral-which yet stands. The
city grew to include more
than 100000 persons.
For almost 100 years Por-
tugal's supremacy of sea pow
er was unchallenged. For
tunes were made. Goa was a
magic word around the
throne at Lisbon.
After 1000 the growing
fleets of the Dutch and the
British, coincident with the
corruption and deterioration
of the Portuguese official
dom, combined to reduce
her as a power in Indian af-
fairs.
Between 1896 and 1902, Is
Dutch expeditions sent men
to battle in the Spice Islands.
The Portuguese were driven
out and the Dutch established
themselves in Ceylon, Malac-
ca, Java and at points along
the Indian coast.
By 1900, men in London
began to worry about the
Dutch. The first British ven
ture was into the Spice Is
lands. For % years an un-
declared war ragged and this

Reconsideration of Threat to Quit u. NJ

Salazar, angry and frustrated

Portugal will lose even more

Premier Salazar might with
profit study the history of
Portugal's colonialism:
In September, 1899, the
spice-laden ships of Vasco de
Cana reached Lisbon from
Calicut, on the coast of Mala-
bar.
1t was the beginning of
European contact with that
distant, mysterious land. BY
1903 that trade had grown
until it seemed desirable for
Portugal to control. From her
colonies along the west coast
of Africa, Admiral Alfonzo
Albuquerque took his fleet
and marines to Goa. He
established Portuguese settle
ments at Goa, Malacca, Or
muz and the island of SEQ
cotra off the entrance to the
Red Sea.
Control of the Indian Ocean
was wrested from the Mos
lens. When the King of
Persia sent for tribute, his
messengers received bullets.

Indians liked Aifonzo. Goa

ROME. Last summer one
of the most astute and
knowledgeable Italian polit-
ical leaders told your reporter
that we must look with more
apprehension to 1868 than
to 1862. This view has been
supported since by a num-
ber of responsible French,
German and British political
and military observers with
whom your reporter has had
the occasion to discuss world
problems.
They all concur that 1862
will be the year of hot and
cold showers. There will be
scrimmages and skirmiShes
with the Soviet Union; there
will be occasional sunshine
followed by heavily darkened
political skies. There will be
negotiations, not only at
ambassadors but also at the
foreign ministers levels.
There may be even a per-
sonal meeting between Presi-
dent Kennedy and Premier
Khrushchev which will at
tain no other tangible result
except to enable Washing
ton and London to say: You
see, patience has prevailed
and things are looking up"
regardless of how many more
tail feathers the eagle loses
or how many more knots are
tied in the lions tail.
There will be deep disap-
pointments because the Red
boss frequently will change
his tune and switch from
. smiles to frowns as he has
in the past. But, all in all,
the Western powers will be
able to strengthen their mil
itary posture vis-a-vis the
USSR.
In as far as Western Eu-
rope is concerned. the main
problem is whether President
de Gaulle will be able to sur
vive. The consensus of most
observers anti-de GaulliSts,
Germans and British-is that
the French ruler continues to
remain in a dominating posi-
ton at home and abroad. But
the fear persists that he may
become the victim of a we'll
aimed bullet by some fan
attic. This would be a calam-

Prospect Seen Remote
For China Revolt Now

TOKYO, Jan. II (AP)-Hun-
ger and hard times plague Red
China's toiling millions. Yet the
prospect of a revolt on the
mainland seems remote.
The reasons for this are
many and varied.
One of them is Mao ze-tung's
tight political control over his
670 million people. Taking no
chances, he recently increased
the authority of commissars at
the company level in the Red
Army. He made them directly
responsible to him and the
Communist Party.
Another is that he is a peas
ants son and knows how far he
can push the peasants who
form the country's backbone.
Next year all industry will be
working for them, turning out
the tools, fertilizer, tractors
and home utensils they need to
recover the ground lost in
three disastrous harvests. Be-
cause hungry men cannot do
back-breaking service in the
rice paddles, they will get extra
food rationS.
Pride a Factor
These are the physical rea-
sons why rebellion seems un-
likely on the China mainland.
There are other, more obscure
reasons, including pride, fear
and hatred.
The Chinese, heirs to one of
the worlds oldest and richest
civilizations, stood powerlesSly
by for a century while colonial
nations took out much of the
wealth.
The Communists set about
repairing the National char
acter soon after they took over
in 1949.
Pride in at last achieving in
dependence, unity and nation
hood must color the thinking
of many Chinese today.
Some Gains Noted

things are now, now bad they
were before" says one returned
traveller. Compared to the Ma
tionalist period, the people are,
on the whole, better dressed.

tasks involved in getting new
legislation approved by the
peoples representatives in
Congress.
1t seems startling and hard
to realize, but there is not
a single adviser on economic
matters at the Presidents
side, either in the Cabinet
or in the unofficial Cabi-
net, who has had any expert
ence as the actual head of a
really large business.
Secretary of Defense Nc
Namara has had a few years
of such contacts, but he is
not charged by the President
with the responsibility for
making economic policy.
The Presidents words in
his many speeches and mes
sages have set forth the de-
Sirable goals in eloquent
fashion. But the words have
become meaningless in the
absence of concrete action
that is based on the every
day facts of busine S
progress.
Mr.. Kennedy has failed
signally on the labor-man-
agement front. 1t is not what
he has done, but what he
has failed to do, that counts.
While the President has
been occupying himself large
ly with foreign-policy mat
ters, he has not perceived the
real reason why the challenge
of the Common Market in
Europe can wind up in a big
failure for the American
economy. The reason is SIM
pie the chaos on the labor
management front in Ameri-
ca. Bernard Baruch, in a
book he wrote a few years
ago called Public Affairs, "
describes trenchantly the
wage-price spiral as follows
by abusing its powers, la
Dor Injuries not only itself but
the whole country. While it is
the proper concern of union
leaders to improve the lot of
their followers, they must
recognize that their demands
must be economically justi-
fled. If wage and other de-
mands are not accompanied
by increasing productivity,
inevitably prices will be driv-
en- out of reach, and foreign
competition encouraged, to
the detriment of the entire
economy. American workers
