Some Fearful

There probably are very few
Americans who would not want
most of these things to come to
pass, but many Americans of both
political parties and of both labor
and cement fear the
economic dislocationS which will
accompany the liberalization of
trade.
Mr.. Kennedy took full note of
these fears. But he recited statis-
tics which, if they cannot be chal-
lenged, indicate the hardships will
be experienced by the relatively
few while the benefits will spread
to nearly all the population.
Several hundred times as many
workers owe their jobs directly or
indirectly to exports as are in the
small group estimated to be less
than one half of l per cent of
all workers who might be ad-
versely affected by a sharp in
crease in imports" he declared.
He said further that those i'm
ports which compete with goods
we produce are equal to only or
11a per cent" of our total national
production.

Why It's Needed

According to Mr.. Kennedy five
fundamentally new and sweep
ing" developments have made our
trade policy obsolete:
Q The growth of the European
Common Market.
Q The growing pressures on our
balance of payments position.
(Our expenditures abroad con-
tinue to wipe out the margin OF
our favorable balance of trade
and gold still flows outward)
. The need to accelerate our own
economic growth.
o The Communist trade and aid
offensive. (Red trade with less
developed nations has tripled in
recent yearS.)
o The need for new markets for
Japan and the developing nations.
When it came to the benefits of
increased trade, the President
made a broad promise.
Specifically, enactment Of this
measure will benefit substantially
every State of the Union, every
segment of the American economy
and every basic objective Of our
domestic economy and foreign
policy" he said.
Thus, we would have increased
prosperity; we would be able to
combat initiation better; we would
overcome the balance of pay
ments problem; we would promote
the strength and unity of the
West; we would be able to help
the newly developing nations bet
ter and we would be able to main
tain the leadership of the free
world.

The Advantages

Assuming the role of advocate,
Mr.. Kennedy emphasized what he
asserted would be the great ad-
vantages that would flow to the
worker, farmer, businessman and
consumer from freer trade. On
the other hand, while he recog-
nized that certain problems would
be created, he minimized them and
promised relief for those suffer-
ing genuine hardship. He gave the
impression to some that he felt
that if he could win the battle
which has now been Joined on
Capitol Hill he would be making
perhaps his greatest contribution
as President.
The Kennedy message was a
well-organized plea. First he out
lined the reasons for the drastic
changes he proposed. Then he
cited the many benefits which
would be derived. Next, he dis
cussed broadly the provisions of
his bill. Finally, he gave assur-
ances that the expected adverse
impacts on various segments of
the population would Cd be rel
atively minor and (2) would be
cushioned by reducing tariffs
gradually and by several types OF
Federal assistance.

A Wider Trade Horizon for u. S.

President Kennedy, in a spe-
cial message, urged Congress on
Thursday to provide a ''wh0lly
new instrument" to allow him
to cut tariffs and replace our
Obsolete" trade policy.
It has been clear for many
weeks that the Presidents No. /
legislative goal this year is a new
statute permitting a broad reduc-
ton of tariffs and a much more
liberalized trade policy.
He has viewed the spectacular
success of the European Common
Market and has determined that
we should not try to beat it, do
not have to join it, but, for our
own good, should cooperate
closely with it.
The President has said more
than once that it is absolutely
essential for this Nation to take
up the challenges and opportu-
mites of a rapidly changing and
expanding world economy and
thereby promote the strength and
unity of the free world in its
struggle with international COM
munism.
He said all this and more Thurs
day. In a special message to Con-
gress, he mustered all the per-
suaSion at his command to ask
Congress to scrap the Reciprocal
Trade Agreements program and
enact in its place the Trade Ex-
panSion Act of 1862.

ministration bill for creating a
new Department of Urban Affairs

. The House passed a postal
rate rise bill which, if approved
by the Senate, would increase
first-class letter mail from 4 to
5 cents; postcards from 3 to 4
cents and airmail from 7 to 8

The bill would provide about
$700 million in additional revenue
and lift the Post Office out of

the Senate, however, to push a
pay raise for postal employees
which, if successful, would go a
long way in canceling out the

Bailey Charge

Turning partisan politician, Mr..
Kennedy cited the solid Republi-
can vote against his plan while
ignoring the fact that four Demo-
Gratis also opposed it. He then
gave the matter a racial angle
when he disclosed, for the first
time publicly, that he intended to

partment.

gram to Republican National

cially motivated.

u. S. Interest

Mr.. Kennedy'S alliance for
Progress" was meant to show cyni-
cal LatinS that the United States
is interested not only in eradicat-
ing communism, but also in build
ing a strong Western Hemisphere
along democratic lines.
The Latin American countries
on the whole have greeted the AL
lance warmly, and this led policy
makers in Washington to hope for
support against Cuba. The United
States believes that as long as
Cuba serves as base for Commu-
mist agents.. the whole future of
the Alliance is endangered.
The present OAS meeting in
Punta del Este is, in a sense, a
reconvening of the same jury that
heard the indictment against
Cuba in 1860. This time, however,
the United States-serving as
prosecutor-is pressing for a guilty
conviction and a severe sentence.
Ideally. Secretary of State Rusk
wants the other OAS countries to
label Cuba a Soviet satellite, and
either to break all diplomatic re-
lations with the island or to expel
it from the OAS. In addition, the
United States wants the other
Latin countries to stop all trade
with Cuba.

Inquiry:
|Muzzing'

The Senate hearing on the
"muzzling" Of high Pentagon
officers got under way last week.
Military witnesses agreed ON
need for civilian domination,
but former President Eisenhower
and President Kennedy differed
on need for "review" of speeches.
One unfortunate idea which
gained circulation in the past year
was that the civilian chiefs at
the Pentagon were having trouble
controlling "fire-brand" military
men who were determined to make
inflammatory speeches and invade
the areas of foreign policy.
This idea was perhaps gen.
Grated during the first week of
the Kennedy administration by
some mid-echelon zealotS who ap-
parently thought it would be
smart to let the generals and ad-
mirals know who was running the
show.
A proposed speech by Admiral
Arleigh A. Burke, Chief of Naval
Operations, provided the vehicle
they needed. The admiral, for
mer member of the American
truce team at Panmunjom, has
a firSt-hand knowledge of inter-
national communism and doesn't
mind saying in the strongest
terms that he doesn't like it. This
idea shone through his proposed
speech, which he dutifully sub
mitted to the Pentagon, State De-
partment and White House for
clearance.

Congress-:
Fast Start

The House last week passed
a $500 million postal rate rise
while its Rules Committee
turned down an administration
bill to create an Urban Affairs
post in the cabinet.
More often than not, Congress
sets rather leisurely pace in the
opening month of January and,
then, toward the end of the ses-
sion, turns on burst of speed
that leaves some members a bit
doubtful of just what action they
have taken.

things are going to be different
this year. Here is a partial list
of what transpired on Capitol

Disappointment

The cancellation was a disap-
pointing end to a disappointing
week in the Nations space pro-
gram.
On Friday, an attempt was made
to send a 727-pound spacecraft to
take closeup television pictures of
the moon and land the first in
struments on its surface. But here
it was a question of "too much, too
soon." The two-stage Atlas-Agena
B booster rocket gave the complex
Ranger-3 package excessive We
locity."
This means that Rangers will
not come closer than 10000 to 30,-
600 miles from the moon, because
it will intersect the path of the
earth satellites orbit too soon. It
still might be able to send back
some pictures, however.
On September IL, 1859, the So
Wet Union planted its coat of
arms on the lunar surface and %
days later sent up q spacecraft
which made television pictures of
the moons farside, from $1,000
miles out.
The United States made eight
previous attempts to come close to
the moon or hit it and each failed.

On Intervention

The communique heartened Sec
retary of State Herter who called
it "clear indictment of . Cuba
and particularly the role it has
played in furthering the Sino-
Soviet efforts of intervention into
this hemisphere"
An indictment, however, is not
a conviction. It is only a state
ment of charges. Most of the
Latin countriesOseemed ready to
accuse Cuba of being a Red satel-
lite, but hesitated to find 1t
guilty" and to impose a suitable
sentence.
It was this reluctance which
probably led the United States on
the ill-fated CIA-trained invasion
of Cuba last April. Instead of
bringing down the Cuban regime,
the invasion made it even
stronger in the eyes Of many ma
tionalistic Latin Americans who
hate the "Yanquis" with an almost
irrational frenzy.
Realizing that further unilateral
action against Cuba would only
decrease American hemisphere
prestige, the Kennedy administra-
ton embarked last spring on a
course of collective action against
Cuba. IL

Objections were made to Ger

flee of Assistant Secretary Of De-
fense Arthur Sylvester informed
him that 1t was mot clearable."
He wrote another speech, but then
began to read newspaper stories
which said his original speech
had run into difficulties and had
been completely censored.
In telling his story on the
stand Thursday during the first
phase of Senate Armed Services
subcommittee hearing, the ad-
miral said he did not protest the
decision but was annoyed by the
suggestion in the leaked news
stories that I was trying to get
away with something, which
wasn't"
No one directly accused Mr..
Sylvester or his office of leaking
the story, but Mr.. Sylvester never
theless denied that he did in q
statement issued on Thursday.
The point, however, is that a
string of stories began appearing
in the press to the effect that
the administration was appalled,
at some of the things that Ad-
miral Burke and other military
men were proposing to say in .

therefore, was necessary and was

NucIeur::
No Switch

The Soviet Union last week
turned down the AnglO-Ameri-
can proposal to merge the nu-
clear test ban talks with the
forthcoming disarmament nego-
tiatiOnS.
Last spring, the Soviet Union
surprised its own people, upset its
neutral supporters, and angered
the West by calling for an end
to the nuclear test ban negotia-
tionS.
These talks initiated by the So
vietS had been held in Geneva for
nearly three years.
The principal roadblock to an
Anglo-American-Soviet treaty was
a dispute over the number of in
spections an international commits
sion would be allowed to make on
each country's territory.
The West-afraid of clandestine
tests wanted a relatively high
number; the Russians afraid of
espionage" wanted many fewer.
Both sides, however, agreed on the
principle of inspection.
But last spring, new Soviet de-
mands made such a treaty i'm
possible. The Russians suggested
a ''troika" that could block inter-
national inspections, and then
said that since the talks were get
ting nowhere, they should be
merged in forthcoming general
disarmament ones.
Sincerely believing a test ban
was possible, President Kennedy
objected to the Soviet proposal. He
said a nuclear test ban would be
relatively easy to police, and sue

ment in order to prevent Negro
from becoming a cabinet member.
What was the purpose of these
rough, tough and, some would say,
unfair, tactics?
1t is generally accepted that the
Democrats hope to tar the Repub-
licanS with an anti-Negro brush
and picture them, in an election
year, as oblivious to the needs of
urban areas, where 60-70 per cent
of the population of the United
States lives.
Representative John w. Byrnes,
chairman of the House Republican
Policy Comittee, led his party's
counter-attack. He accused Mr..
Kennedy of a "callous attempt"
to exploit the race issue in an
effort to force the G.. o. P. to vote
for the new department.
Whether the Presidents attempt
to drive a wedge between the Re-
publican and Southern Democratic
members of the conservative coali-
tion in the House will work re-
mains to be seen. It might drive
them closer together, q result
which would not make good news
for the administration on the
many controversial proposals in
its legislative program.

Ammunition

Rather, it will give Cuban
agents increased ammunition in
troubled areas of Latin America
such as in Northeastern Brazil or
the mines of Bolivia-to gather
support for Castro-like revolutions.
They say that no matter how
collective any action is, Castro
agitators will claim-and will be
believed-that the action is a case
of United States imperialism.
In many countries, all the eco
nomic, political, and social miseries
of generations have been blamed
on the United States. It will take
years of patient education before
the United States good intentions
will be believed in many parts of
the hemisphere.
The seven assert that any coun-
try which follows the United
States lead against Cuba will be
accused of being a "puppet of
Washington" In the unstable
conditions that exist throughout
the hemisphere, such charges could
lead to a governments downfall,
and replacement by a military die
tatorship of the right, or a Castro
like one of the left.
The conference probably will
end by Tuesday, and it is likely
that whatever communique finally
is issued will be a compromise. IN
judicial terms, the court will

guilty, but the sentence will be

would affect their constituencies
before they make up their minds.
