PARASITIC French econ

This was dramatized recently
when France prepaid nearly
$500 million owed to the

France has full employ

of colons from Algeria, which
is expected to increase as

ties with its internal trou-
bles. There will be problems,
admittedly - mostly politi-
cal - but in the end the
returning French colonists
are seen here as a blessing,
not an evil.
This accent on full employ
ment seems to be the major
lesson to be learned by the
United States from France.
Exact economic parallels be-
tween the United States and
any other country are risky
If not impossible. Still, the

approach. The amounts Of
money spent are much more
readily aScertained and veri-
fled than the facts concern
ing the location of mobile
weapons at any given time.
1t could be that. once a
mutual agreement to limit
and reduce expense is at
tanned and proves satisfac-
tory for a period of time,
other provisions for arma-
ment reduction can then be
taken up and possibly ap-
proved on a trial basis.
One thing is clear-neither
side dareS to diSarm COM
pletely. Public opinion would
not approve of such a policy,
either in the Soviet Union OF
in the United States. Neither
side can afford, moreover, to
give up its scientific research
for better and leSS-eXpensive
weapons. But each govern
ment can agree in its own
Self-intereSt to cut down on
spending for armament.
The zenith of destructive
power has been reached. The
problem now is one of MAIN
tenance, which certainly
should not be as expensive as
the sums paid out during the
last nine years to attain what
now may be called the satu-
ration point in national Sc
curity.
International agreements
are rarely arrived at by pow
ers of persuasion or by emo
tional appeals. They are made
possible as a rule only when
they become of direct benefit
to both sides. The common
obligation today is to econo-
mize on armament spending
so that more funds can be
devoted to lettering the lives
of the respective peoples on
both sides of the Iron Cur
tain. This would make posi-
able. too, a reduction of
tensions in the cold war"
and would give the normal
processes of trade a chance
to expand. For Individuals
a growing number of con-
sumers - would have more
to spend for an improving
standard of living. 1t is today
the key to a business revival
in the United States.

now doing, no one cares to

Cynics suggest that when
the economy is doing well,
1t does not matter how medi-
OGRE the country'S politicians
are. Critics of the French
method complain that it is
detached too much from the
human needs which the poll
ticianS must serve. Anyway,
it is working. and Kennedy
listening posts here are ad-
monished by the American
President to study it and
advise what lessons can be
learned from it.
The President already has
set national goals as the
French do. That part is easy
and is expounded by him
with rare eloquence. What
he is not getting is the
voluntary-cooperation part,
either from the entrenched
chairmen of the congressional
committees or business. That
is the hard part.
Within his administration
there seems to be no conflict
of counsel. With rare simpli-
fication, his economists agree
that full employment is a
good thing and much must be
sacrificed to attain it. Treas
ury Secretary Douglas Dill

How can the armament ex-

year-be materially reduced
so that an era of business
growth and a sound economy
can be achieved in America?
This question is more i'm.
portant than a tax cut or
any other "gimmick" being
advanced as a cure for the
stagnant economy of today.
For the truth is. America
cannot absorb the present.
day expense for armament
and grow productivity at the
same time. America, in other
words, cannot have guns
and butter, too"
Most important is the fact
that Moscow has discovered
this same truism with respect
to the Soviet Union.
The 17-nation conference
on disarmament between the
East and the West, which
has just resumed in Geneva,
cannot accomplish much,
however, with a formula
that calls for nations to
abolish their defenses or to
stop exploring the merits of
new weapons. Nor is there a
likelihood that an agreement
can be reached TO permit in
Spection. What is more plau-
Sible is to find a means of
agreeing on the amounts of
armament expense as a ratio
of national budgets. Each
country-the Soviet Union
and the United States-will
wish to be the judge of how
it will spend it's own money
allocated to defense and what
weapons it will produce. But
if a budget limitation on
arms spending were imposed
by mutual understanding be-
tween the Soviet Union and
the United States. the eco

The class enjoys interrupt

behind their hands in a most

To the Western visitor

They are cute and bright as

Moscow needs an agree

to see armament reduced

the mere existence of power

lead to war.
The truth is that, since the
deadliness of nuclear weap-

the movement to limit or re-

considerable impetus, though
not enough to bring an eff
