The Bargaining to Come

III JIllo pCIlOu VI Change, historians
may note correctly that one Of the most
significant chapters has been in the field
of international economics and trade.
Holding featured place in this dra-
matte time has been the development
of Europe's Common Market, a bloc of
free continental nations that gambled
by treaty arrangement on an experiment
in lowering trade barriers among them
selves as Stimulant to their national
economies. Within their vision, and still
remaining so despite unresolved differ
ences Of opinion on details, is the posi-
bility of political union based largely
upon their collective economic strength.
The economic strength of this cooper
alive venture already has been demonr
strated.
From the beginning, and over a
term that has involved Republican and
Democratic administrations alike, the
United States Government has favored
this evolution of unity In Western Eu-
rope. And 1t was, in fact, very much in
recognition of its success that the Ken
nedy administration asked the last Con-
gress to enact a so-called trade expan-
sion law that would give to our Chief
Executive broader and more flexible
powers to bargain on tariffs and other
regulatory conditions affecting interna-
tional commerce. Congress responded
affirmatively and with bipartisan sup
port, and Mr.. Kennedy followed this &C
ton by designating an experienced and
distinguished Republican, former Secre-
tary of State Christian Herter, as his
representative and chief negotiator in
working out new trade arrangements.
Meanwhile, Secretary Of Agriculture
Freeman has tackled one Of the tough
est and most important problems In this
field, namely, that of seeking assurances
that our eXportable farm products will
have continued access, under reasonably
favorable terms, to West European mar
ketS. As Of now, at least, the answers
have not been encouraging. The Com
mon Market is bargaining from posi-
ton of strength of its own, and with full
awareness that protectionism toward
much of It's own farm industry has been
traditional. There have been forecasts,
on this side Of the Atlantic, that our
farm exports to the six-nation bloc of
western Europe may decline by as much
as 80 per cent by 1870, and even by more
if Britain, a large importer Of food, gains
membership in the Common Market.
This is not the end Of the story, Of
course. We are bargaining from strength
in many respects also, and there are no
grounds for belief that reason or good
will is missing on either side Of the
Atlantic. Trade is two-way PROPOSE
ton, and negotiators on both sides know
this WELL

Tests to Come

At his news conference the other
evening, President Kennedy made spe-
cial point Of lauding "the unity Of this
hemisphere, the support Of our allies,
and the calm determination of the
American people" in the teeth Of the
Cuban crisis. And he went on to add:
"These qualities may be tested many
more times In this decade"
The warning implicit here Is alto
gether timely. After all, there are more
than a few places in the world where
the threat to freedom and peace Is
greater than the one posed by Fidel
Castro in Havana. Berlin, for example,
has lost none Of It's exploSiveness, even
though Nikita Khrushchev, who regards
the city as bone in his throat, appar-
emily has no desire for showdown there
at the present moment. Then there Is
Africa to consider, with trouble always
brewing not merely in the Congo but
elsewhere on that largely primitive con-
tinent. And the Middle East and Asia,
of course, are in constant tumult, with
the f-again-on-again warfare between
India and Red China currently over
shadowing all other events in that ever
turbulent region.
This is but part Of the picture of
the actual and potential trouble that
men and nations must cope with. 1t is
not surprising, in the circumstances,
that Mr.. Kennedy has cautioned that
the United States and the free world
as whole must continue, Just as in the
case of Cuba, to hold fast to principle
and be resolute and unwavering in
meeting any and every challenge from
Moscow or Picking.

Protecting the Potomac

Montgomery County, in particular,
has done a good Job in resisting pres
sures for the erection Of high-rise apart
ments along its portion of the Potomac
River. And Montgomery planners, in
Guiding Donald E. Gingery, are right in
contending that the ultimate respon-
sibility in this matter rests with the
various local Jurisdictions bordering the
river, rather than in some kind of Fed
eral edict. Mr.. Gingery was wrong, how
ever, in resisting a proposal that the
National Capital Regional Planning
Council adopt a resolution strongly OPP
posing high-density development along
the river.
The effect Of such a resolution Of
course would be advisory, as are all
actions Of the Regional Council. This
does not mean, however, that the Council
need be Intellectual. 1t was created in
the first place to stimulate CO ordi-
nation among local areas in matters Of
regional concern, and surely there is no
asset Of greater significance to the Ma
tional Capital Region as whole than
the Potomac. The Council can do much
to solidify opinion throughout the area
in favor Of preserving the Potomac
shores in their natural state. 1t should
devote more time at its next meeting to
the formulation of a resolution which
will accomplish this purpose.

VitoHy Needed

Civilian nuclear power has not come
into being as fast or on as large scale
as optimists foresaw decade ago. New
ertheless its great and very real prom
Use will be fulfilled in due course, and
with reasonable speed, not only in our
own country but throughout the world.
Indeed, as the Atomic Energy Com
mission Mas Just declared in It's special
report to President Kennedy, nuclear
power is already ION or near the thresh-
old" of being no more expensive than
conventional power in New England and
California, where the costs of fossil fuels
are high. AS for other areas, the Acc
predicts that electricity from the har-
messed atom will be economically COM
petitive throughout most of the coun-
try" in the 1905
Further, the commission has told
the President that the day is coming,
around the turn Of the century, when
about so per cent of all the electricity in
the United States will be generated by
nuclear plants. And later on, by the
year 2050, most electricity will be pro-
duced by an industry using breeder"
reactors-magical furnaces that will
make more fuel than they consume, thus
creating a virtually limitleSs source Of
atomic energy for peaceful uses.
However, as Acc Chairman Seaborg
has pointed out, these furnaces are still
"some years away" and the commission
has therefore recommended that in
creased emphasis be put on developing
advanced but interim types of reactors
that will lead eventually to the breeder
and help bridge the gap between the
infancy and maturity of nuclear power"
Work to that end, according to official
estimates, probably would add upwards
of $40 million a year to the Aces cur
rent annual outlay of 5000 million on the
development of civilian atomic energy.
People with money invested in the
output of electricity from the fossil fuels
local, oil and gas) have no reason, Of
course, to fear the atoms competition.
Actually, in DR.. Seaborg'S words, "all
our projections indicate that, even as
Stunning an optimistic forecast of nuclear
power development, the use of coal by
the rapidly expanding electric generat-
ing industry will increase Sevenfold over
the next 40 years"
In sum, the atom is not going to
hurt any business depending on fossil
fuels. On the contrary, in view Of the
Nations vast and rapidly growing cleo
trical demands, the vigorous develop
ment of nuclear power is vitality needed
to supplement our readily available low
cost conventional sources Of energy,
which would otherwise be exhausted in
a century or less. That is why the Aces
recommendations to the President merit
prompt affirmative action.

An article entitled Ine
Busy 'Drifters' by Carl Pur-
cell, in the Novemb Der 18
magazine section of The Sum-
day Star could inadvertently
encourage treSpassing, steal
ing and defacing private
property.
I own waterfront property
in st. Marys County, Nd,
and one Of the best Of its
many charms Is the drift
wood along the shore. On
its natural habitat 1t is much
more attractive than when
put to most Of the uses men,
toned in your article). In
recent years we have suffered
greatly from this type Of pill
fering. The marauders range
from individuals as described
in your article to large Or
ganized groups such as gar
den clubs. I have never known
any Of these people to seek
permission from the owners
Of the land where they do
their filching.
The article speaks of beach
combing. Combing the ocean
shoreline and in some cases
the bay beaches for items
that have drifted ashore is a
far cry from the activities
you encourage. The kind of
combing this article describes
is about as legal as my re-
moving the shrubbery from
in front of your building.
Neither are you talking
about driftwood: Where the
trees were planted origi-
nal stumps are much too
large to carry home in one
piece" and "A good saw may
come in handy" This is
something like suggesting one
take a good acetylene torch
when hunting for treasure in
a bank vault. We property
owners own to the low-water
mark, which means that ex-
listing trespass laws legally
take care of the situation.
Enforcement, h however, Is
another thing.
In view of the increase in

article will undoubtedly eff

will follow. The Star might
consider another article en-
phasizing the private prop

it could illustrate the drift

lays. Following this thought
perhaps the "drifters" could
photograph some of the bea-
utiful "driftwood," have en-
largements made, and hang
these in the recreation room
but leave the driftwood
where it is.

Progress Report

When President Kennedy launched
the Alliance for Progress program in
early 1861, there was recognition that
far-reaching social and economic re-
forms would be a basic requirement
within many Latin American countries.
It was easier, of course, to recognize the
needs than to be assured that meaning
full efforts would be made to meet them.
OF all areas in which genuine re-
form is essential, one Of the most de-
manding is that of tax administration.
Based in many cases on revenue laws
that are inadequate or uneven in their
impact, enforcement procedures have
been inefficient or even capriciouS. Eva
sion, particularly by the wealthy, seldom
has been punished. This problem re-
ceived specific attention at the Punta
del Este conference, when the Alliance
for Progress charter was drawn, and our
Secretary of Treasury, Douglas Dillon,
promised then that this Government
would offer all possible cooperation to-
ward improving the tax systems and
their administration Bertrand M. Hard
ing, Deputy Commissioner Of our In
.ternal Revenue Service, mas maze an
encouraging interim report on this
effort.
BY invitation, Mr.. Harding reports,
the IRIS has provided training help to
tax officials in Argentina, Bolivia, Bra
I'll, Chile, Colombia, Guatemala and
Peru. Three of these governments are
studying installation Of automatic data
processing equipment. Probably the first
successful prosecution for tax evasion in
any Latin American country was &C
complished recently in Chile, with the
help of an adviser from our own revenue
service. To carry on our part of this
overall work, a Foreign Tax Assistance
Staff has been set up in the IRIS.
