No Place for Cocktails

The Senate has nothing against
cocktail parties as such, but it rightly
holds that they are out of place in a
room Of historic Importance Such a
room is the old chamber in the Capitol
which the Senate used from 1910 to 1859
and which the Supreme Court occupied
from 1860 to 1885.
1t has become the custom in recent
years for the Senators and their friends
to hold receptions, cocktail parties and
other unofficial meetings in the old
chamber. Now, however, thanks to the
completion of a new reception room in
the reconstructed east front of the
Capitol, the room in which John CAL
houn, Henry Clay, Daniel Webster and
other early statesmen rose to heights
of oratorical fervor will be preserved as
historic Shrine" The small talk of the
cocktail imbibers certainly suffered by
comparison with the declamations
which resounded through the chamber
in its better days.
Evening star., 1962-04-17
Good Faith in Trade

The two-edged problem built into
virtually any effort at tariff adjustment
has been sharply illustrated in series
of events in recent weeks.
In midMarch, on the basis of a
showing of serious unemployment in the
domestic industries affected, President
Kennedy ordered an increase in tariff
rates on imports of certain types of
carpets and glass. AS the principal
foreign supplier of both products, Bel
gium was the first to express its an
noyance unoff1cially, and there were
estimates in Brussels that the action
would mean loss of 5000 jobs in that
country. Belgium'S partners in the Com
mon Market shared the annoyance, and
the community since has addressed to
our Government formal protest and
request for consultation Included was
a reproach that our action was mot in
the spirit" of earlier trade talks with
the Market bloc and suggestion that
some concessions then granted to us
might be withdrawn.
Under the rules of the General
Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, pre-
Sumably our Government will agree to
consultation and it has been indicated
that an effort will be made to offer rate
reductions on other products to an ex-
tent that would provide fair "compenSa-
tfon" for any injury done to the foreign
carpet and glass suppliers. Such an ef-
fort in itself is not simple one-with
its obvious risk of stirring new COM
plants that damage will be done to some
other domestic industries in order to
help the carpet and glass manufacturers.
Meanwhile, however, the President
spelled out clearly and perSuaSively in
a press conference the Justification for
his decision in March. Armed with facts
and the recommendations of the Tariff
Commission, he explained that in the
two industries affected "our unemploy-
ment is substantially greater than theirs
(the foreign producers). Their (the
foreign countries involved) balance of
payments situation is substantially bet
ter than ours. In the case of Belgium,
they have been adding gold rather than
losing it. Their unemployment rate is
half Of ours {. The situation in these
two industries is sufficiently serious so
that they must be given some protec-
tion." He is aware, he added, that this
is disappointment to those involved
abroad. Mr.. Kennedy pointed out, how
ever, that one reason for seeking the
tariff-negotiating authority is to stimu-
late employment both at home and
abroad
1t does not seem to us that there
is an inconsistency between what the
President has done in two cases and
what he is striving to do in the broad
field of international trade. 1t would be
economically and politically disastrous
Evening star., 1962-04-17
On With the Tests

AS expected, Nikita Khrushchev now
has fatty rejected the final" Anglo
American appeal" for Soviet accept
ance of an effectively policed ban on
nuclear testing. In doing so, he has re-
peated the Kremlin'S tireSome and
coloSSally untruthful old propaganda
about how the West wants such ban
only to plant spies on Russian soil and
thus have access to "unhampered in
telligence" in preparation for an attack
on the USSR.
A few years ago, of course, when
our country foolishly committed itself
to an unpoliced moratorium on testing,
the Kremlin voiced full agreement with
the idea that any treaty on the matter
would have to have teeth in it. That is,
it would have to establish genuinely
trustworthy safeguards against the
danger of clandeStine violations or eva
SionS. These safeguards, the Russians
themselves then agreed, would have to
be in the form of thoroughgoing Sys-
tenn of vetoleSS international inspection
and verif1cation.
Today, however, as has been the
case ever since last falls huge and
ominouS series of Soviet atmospheric
detonationS (Secretly planned over a
period of months, and abruptly Shatter-
ing the moratorium), Mr.. Khrushchev
and his colleagues voice unalterable op-
position to any kind of policing worthy
Of the name. Instead what they say in
effect, while making a mockery of the
truth and brazenly accusing the West of
bad faith, is simply this: "JuSt ban the
bomb, and trust us not to cheat" Thus,
as the Russian Premier has declared,
why don't the Western powers put us
to the test and display their understand
ing and wisdom by signing an un-
policedl treaty on disarmament"
Well, the answer is obvious enough.
The United States and the West as a
whole have no intention of flirting with
suicide by giving up their defenses in
exchange for paper promise from the
closed society of the Soviet Union-a
furtive land whose conSpiratorial and
dominance-seeking government has re-
peatedly and f1agrantly violated its most
solemn pledges. In the circumstances,
regardless of Mr.. Khrushchev'S threat
to match every detonation of ours with
one of his own, our country must pro-
ceed forthwith to carry out its projected
new series of tests-and on as massive
a scale as security demands, under
ground, under water, in the atmosphere
or In outer space.

One-Woy Bargain

1t should be a matter of shame to
the Federal Government that the Dis
trict has had to apply for authority to
borrow an additional S75 million to keep
alive its tagging program of city i'm
provementS. For this, in large part at
least, is money which the Federal Gov
ernment should have provided over the
last several years as its fair share of the
costs of maintaining Nations Capital
worthy of the name.
The physical deficiencies of the Dis
trict we're assessed after lengthy study
in 1854 And at that time agreement was
reached that their long-term correction
should be joint responsibility. The Dis
trict was to pay its share through local
taxes; the Federal Government, through
adequate Federal payments each year.
Congress not only has failed to authorize
amounts sufficient to carry out its part
of the bargain, it has failed by more
than $50 million to appropriate even
the inadequate amounts which it previ-
ouSly had authorized. The result is all
too painfully evident. Year by year, the
improvement program has fallen far
ther and farther behind, even though
the District several years ago was forced
to obtain $75-million loan authority
from Congress for this purpose.
Now the Commissioners seek to
double this loan authority, course
which can only compound their fiscal
problems in the years ahead, when the
loans must be repaid. Yet they feel
there is no alternative if an orderly
schedule of needed Improvements is to
continue at even a limited level. There
is, of course, one alternative: That Con-
gress awaken to its responsibilities, and
provide a share of the costs which at
least would permit future borrowing to
be held to a minimum.
