home as the uncompromising
critic of jefferson Davis. He
remained at his home, re-
fusing to participate any
more in the affairs Of gov
ernment. An article by him,
written not too long after
the conference, was so mas
sive and vitriolic an indict-
ment of the character and
incompetency Of the Con-
federate president as to
cause some to say Mr.. Step
hens was Of an unsettled
mind when he wrote it.
Both the old men with
whom I talked recalled hear
ing Mr.. Stephens and Mr..
ToombS discuss the con-
ference. Both said Mr.. Ste
phens could not forgive Mr..
Davis for the bitterness and
anguish which the South un-
necessarily experienced after
a defeat that could have
been avoided.
There may be a lesson in
this for our time.

Second Thoughts on Free Trade

Immediately put many Amer
ican Investments abroad at a
serisus competitive disad-
vantage vis-a-vis other for
eign investors. 1t would es-
tablish q revolutionary tax
principle Of unpredictable
consequences. It involves a
far-ranging change in law to
achieve a short-term result.
In short, it is a tortuous
means of achieving q bad
end. It Is bad economics be-
cause, among other reasons,
it ignores the fact that, his
torically, Americas export
surpluses have been greatest
where our investment is
greatest, and that Americas
annual income from invest
ment has regularly exceeded
its outflow.
ITO give one example,
since the start of 1850 Ford
Motor Company's transac-
tions alone have brought a
net plus contribution to the
United States balance of pay
ments Of about So billion"
President Kennedy must
have known about this
speech, or at least his eco
nomic advisers should have
told him about 1t. But the
President ignored the argu-
ment altogether and came
forth with a tax proposal in
his message to Congress yes
terday which would damage
American businesses abroad
and perhaps increase unem-.
ployment in this country,
where many Of the parts are
made for American plants
abroad.
Europeans are jubilant be-
cause the Kennedy admins
tration would thus weaken
their American competitors
abroad. It is a dramatic ex-
ample Of important proposals
for legislation which are not
thoroughly studied in ad-
vance by the administration.
It furnishes another illustra-
ton Of why uncertainty and
apprehension have spread
through American industry
concerning the economic out
look despite the rosy state
ments issued from the White
House about recovery" from
recession.

In the next few months

Europe asunder for hundreds
of years. With the advent Of
the United States as the
greatest world power after
World War I, and the emer-
gence Of Russia and her bloc
as a rival power of the United
States, 1t became obvious that
Europe must unite in order
to survive.
The European leaders, even
the most selfish among them,
realize that the unity of Eu-
rope could be accomplished
only after the Germans and
the French buried the hatch
ct. Short of such a unity, they
would become the prey of the
newly born great powers. For
there still are cynics in West
ern Europe who say that a
weak Western Europe might
become the bargaining matter
between the two great powers
which merged after the two
World Wars. This is the ac-
tual background of why, de-
spite serious economic sacri-
fices, the "six" signed the
recent Brussels agreement.
Henceforth, the Common
Market will drive for a po-
litical entity. The doors are
open to Britain, which in an
exhausted economic and fl
nancial situation, has asked
for its admission. The eco
nomic problems arising from
its membership in the British
Commonwealth are consid-
cred less important by the
"Six" than Britain's foreign
policies.
Prime Minister Macmillan
made his first approaches to
Bonn and Paris last summer.
He suggested the dissolution
Of the "Outer Seven,P which
Britain organized in 1858 as
a counter-balance to the
Common Market, and asked
to join the Club" The an

been close to Mr.. Stephens
and another, a friend of Mr..
Toombs, said independently
Of each other that Mr.. Ste
phens had said he blamed
President Davis stubborn
vanity for the failure to end
the war on a basis that
would have been most favor
able to the South.
It is historically true that
Mr.. Lincoln, meeting with
men whose integrity he
trusted, pledged very gener-
GUS terms, which would be
established if the South would
agree to an armistice during
which time it would re-enter
the Union. He would, he said,
favor compensation to slave
holders. He promised to have
legislation passed in the Con-
gress, which would appropri-
ate the money with which to
do this. He also declared a
willingness to restore, or pay
for, property that had been
seized in the States occupied
by the Federal forces.
There was, he said, a very
simple way to have peace.
The end of resistance to the
laws of the Union would pro-
duce it. There would then
follow the implementation of
the generous plans he wa
willing, even eager, to grant.
The old men to whom I
talked both said that Mr..
Stephens and the commits
sioners were willing. But
they were unable to persuade
Jefferson Davis. He insisted
that any armistice be for the
purpose Of working out terms
for the independence Of the
Confederacy. The summit
meeting failed, therefore, to
produce peace. (That Presi-
dent Davis insisted on con-
tinuing the war is one of sew
eral illustrations of his flight
from reality. Gen. Lee was
nearing the end. He was the
more discouraged after q
visit to Mr.. Davis in Rich
mond. Even the mild Lee left
a bitter condemnation of the
Confederate congreSS.)

The Kennedy administra-
ton is in for a serious con-
troversy with the principal
industries Of the country -
the automotive and other
manufacturers e engage d in
foreign trade.
Many Of the companies
which have been the strong
est supporters Of the re-
ciprocal-trade program and
recently have been enthusi-
astically advocating the low
tariff program proposed by
the administration in con-
nection with the European
Common Market now are
having second thoughts. They
see difficulty in going along
with the free-trade program
because, they say, the admin
istration is sponsoring a pro-
tectionist doctrine when it
tries to penalize American
overseas investments.
Most significant is a speech
delivered a few days ago by
Henry Ford II which is typi-
cal Of the way other auto
manufacturers and heads Of
large businesses feel about
the administrations course. A
total investment Of $33 bill
lion by American companies
around the world is bound to
be affected by the Presidents
determination to choke off
further American investment
in many countries. Mr.. Ford,
in his New York speech, said:
Some people seem to think
you can be liberal on tariff
policy and protectionist in
other matters. I mention this
because there has been some
evidence that a new protec-
tionism is rearing its ugly
head along the New Frontier.
This new protectioniSm
would artificially restrict and
direct the outflow Of dollars
by discouraging private in
vestment abroad.

ture areas, means exporting

In January 1865, negotia-
tions for a summit meeting
between President Lincoln
and Confederate Peace Com
missioners were begun. The
Civil War Centennial, hav-
ing been removed from the
hands of those who spent its
first year largely in farcical
restaging of old battles as
tourist traps, may now make
possible a study Of the war
that still fascinates so many
Americans.
The summit conference Of
1865 finally was held on Feb
ruary 3, on board the steamer
River Queen, at Fortress
Monroe. Only President Lin
coin. Secretary of State
Seward, and the three Con-
federate Commissioners were
present. No other person was
admitted. save a Negro waiter
who brought coffee and re-
freshments.
The Confederate delega-
ton was headed by Alex
ander Stephens, vice presi-
dent Of the Confederacy. He
had never believed in seces-
sion and had opposed it until
the people of his State tGeor-
gia) had voted for it. His
opinion of jefferson Davis
was never very high. It de-
Perforated with the war years
until it became almost an OBJ
session of dislike and con-
tempt.
Mr.. Stephens, for all his
physical frailty and i'll
health. was a heroic and ap-
pealing figure in his native
State. Some years ago, when
old men could be found who
had known both Mr.. Ste
phens and Robert Toombs, a
not-too-distant neighbor of
Mr.. Stephens, and one who
had been both a Confederate
cabinet member and a gen.
eral, the writer spent a SUBJ
stantial part of one summer

known the States Civil War

Jobs phrase borrowed
from protectionist union cir
cles. Such talk gives comfort
only to the enemies Of liberal
trade. 1t will be hard. I fear.
to rally eager support for a
program that appears to be
half-protectionist, half-free.
ANY effort to liberalize
trade presents dilemmas to the
Government, as well as to
industries facing important
competition. We now have.
for example, areas Of chronic
unemployment, some Of them
in industrial areas affected
by imports. We have rising
wage costs at home and COM
petition from increasingly ef-
ficient producers abroad.
Further confusing the issue
is the recurrent balance-of-
payments problem that now
and then threatens a run on
our gold reserve, and a pos
sible monetary crisis.
I'm such circumstances it
is natural to seek a villain, on
whom to blame all the coun-
try's troubles. A politically
tempting target is offered by
American investments abroad.
They have been rather broad
ly pictured to the public as
tax havens' - a term that
properly applies only to a
small percentage of such pri-
vate investments. Blocking
off capital investment-par-
ticularly in Europe-might
temporarily ease the pay
ments problem, but in the
long run, 1t would make 1t
worse.
II am certain that restrict
ing the free flow Of produc-
tive capital investment is bad
economic policy, directly
opposed to our deepest ma
tional interests. This is not
the way to solve recurrent
balance of payments or
chronic unemployment prob
lens.

recent legislative proposal to
tax foreign income at the
source. Such q move would
