President Has a TV ADVANTAGE

A one-Sided presentation
Of what the Government is
doing appeals to some poll
ticians as fair, but the people
resent the obvious use of
public office for political pur-
poses. The newspapers have
a circulation Of nearly so
million copies. and these
reach an even larger number
of individuals in the homes.
The number of homes with
television sets is around AZ
million, but not everybody
stays home for every pro-
gram. Yet those who miss a
Presidents utterances on the
air can generally get a copy
OF a newspaper and read
about them there.
So the President is certain
ly an astute press agent in
his own behalf in giving the
television networks a special
program which they can ad-
vertise in advance.
What's more important is
whether this sort Of thing
can become a ''brainwash-
ing" operation through which
the people are led to form
impressions based on incom-
plete and inadequate presen-
tation Of controversial sub
jects. Opponents have vir-
tually no chance to refute
presidential statements.
In the Soviet Union such
things are handled by for
bidding all counter-comm
or criticism Of the top execu-
tive. If there is criticism at
all, It's usually at a later
date, long after the initial
speech. Maybe that's going
to be the net effect in Amer
lea, where the networks are
under direct Government SUI
pervision and control. The
broadcasters usually try to
maintain independence, but
many nevertheless find 1t de-
sirable to play ball with the
administration in power.
That's why the newspapers
become the last available
source for the prompt and
continuous presentation of
both sides of controversial
questions in a comprehensive
manner in their news pages.

Acheson's Blunt Words on Britain

come to italy to ask for
economic support because
England was compelled for
reasons Of economy to close
that once all-important island
naval base which gave en-
ployment and a flourishing
business to the Maltese.
All the same. Britain con-
tinues to be considered as a
great power, not only by the
courtesy Of her allies but also
because Of her Special rela-
tions" with Washington
which place her in the fore
front of our dealings with
NATO powers and with the
Soviet Union.
The blunt speech of Brit
aims friend and admirer.
Dean Acheson, has exposed a
situation known to the initi-
ated in governments and in
the business world, but little
known to the rank and file Of
the people who continue to
regard awesomelv Britain
and her important place in
the world councils. 1t drew
some petulant retorts from
the British Prime Minister
himself and rash Of edi-
torials reminding him that
Britain had shed her blood
and substance in two world
wars while America was
making money"
1t may be that Mr.. Ache
sons speech was made at an
inappropriate time-a time
when England is trying so
hard to conceal her weak
nesses in desperate effort to
be accepted In the Common
Market. To achieve this her
leaders are relying on the
strong, persuasive power the
United States Government is
able to use in Paris and Bonn.
But Mr.. Acheson's factual
statement is undeniably true
and has revealed nothing new
to the men in Brussels who
will decide Britain's entry
into the Common Market.

ROME - 1t really wasn't
cricket for Dean Acheson to
break the worlds most tacit
and well-kept agreement not
to expose Britain's weakness.
Everybody has known for a
long time the plight Of Brit
ain, but one simply does
not bluntly say to a once
famous beauty, MY dear,
your crows feet are show
ing" The words hurt even
more when coming from a
man known for his admira-
ton Of Britain.
England's tragedy is not
so much a loss Of her en-
pire; all other European CO.
lonial powers such as France,
Belgium and Holland which
have lost overseas possessions
since the war seem remark
ably better off. But not so
Britain. Despite the fact that
she received from America
lend-lease assistance, sub
stantial Marshall Plan aid
and a repayable loan Of $3.5
billion-a far more substan-
tial lump than was received
by any other nation - the
United Kingdom hasn't been
able to get back on its feet.
Its economic growth has
not exceeded in recent years
that Of Spain and is far be-
low that Of Italy which lacks
raw materials. The pound
sterling, once regarded with
the dollar as the strongest
currency in the world, is
barely keeping its present
level-thanks to the support
from financial groups in
switzerland, Germany,
France, and of course, the
World Bank.

whether equal time" should
De granted for a rebuttal to
President Kennedy's interview
on radio and television last
Monday night.
The Republican National
Committee is planning to ask
Tor similar privileges on the
air, but hasn't quite made up
us mind who the actors in
the show would be. Represent
alive Emanuel Celler, Demo-
crat Of New York, has urged
the networks to refuse cate
gorically" any requests for
equal time" as he says 1t
would "set a most dangerous
preced dent" Besides, he
argues, Mr.. Kennedy is not a
political candidate.
Technically, of course, the
1854 political campaign hasn't
started and there are no for
NAL candidates, but actually
the campaign is already I'M
der way.
President Kennedy really
has begun to campaign &C
lively for reelection. Almost
every move he makes nova
days is based on its possible
impact on the voters during
the next % months. Every OPP
portunity for publicity is
sought. The latest example is
the unprecedented interview
on radio and television over
all three major networks for
a full hour last Monday
night. The President could
have given every bit of this
information at a regular
news conference, but 1t would
not have been dramatic
enough nor subject to pre-
vious editing.
Mr.. Kennedy evidently felt
sure the newspapers would
use the interview rather fully,
anyway, so 1t would also get
wide publication in the press.
The biggest advantage Of
all to Mr.. Kennedy, however,
Is that he manages by this
method to prevent any re-
buttal on the same night that

Flight of Lotin-Americon CAPITAL

The latest such service was
by Walter Reuther in Japan.
The reception given the
Peace Corps also provides
another lesson long neg
lected.
Whatever the remedies, the
spectacle of Brazil and Ar
gentina, two of the largest
neighbors to the south, and
two with the most potential
for progress, in a state Of
near-chaos and political col
lapse is enough to underscore
the. gravity Of the. need for
immediate reform and dis
cipline. Some Of their neigh
bors also are in desperate
straits.
President Kennedy has
named Gen. Lucius Clay, a
person of decision, experience
and courage, to head up a
committee to evaluate the
entire program Of foreign aid.
This is a necessary step. We
are still beguiled by the early
success Of the Marshall Plan,
forgetting that it was applied
after about two years of CO.
operative planning by all the
nations concerned: The Con-
gress, the people of this coun-
try, and those of the mem
Der countries were all
educated to the program. It's
administrators had authority
and a common purpose.
1t still is vital to our own
future that we have a pro-
gram of foreign aid. But
that 1t. and the Alliance for
Progress, need evaluation by
a non-partisan committee
that possesses the national
confidence, as does the one
headed by Gen. Clay, is q
necessary procedure at this
stage In international devel-
opments. An overhaul is in
dicated. No one realizes this
more than the man who
named the committee and
gave 1t direction.

Of a natural outgrowth OF
industrial beginnings. Ameri-
can delegations Z to Latin
America have. Of necessity,
dealt with the men who gov
erned. Our diplomats very
often sent back accurate re-
ports about social injustices
and the unrest Of labor, peas
ants, the numerically small
middle class, teachers and
students. But, since these ele-
ments Of the population saw
only the association OF our
diplomats and trade delega-
lions with the government
leaders. they came to link the
United States with the ruling
class power. It was easy cit
stin is easy for our enemies
thereby to identify the United
States with local oppression.
Fidel Castro was another
reason for the flight Of capt.
tai from some Latin coun-
tries. Once he betrayed his
revolution and turned to
Moscow for help, Mr.. Castro
began to lose thousands of
those who had helped him to
power-including many who
served at his side in the Sierra
Maestro Mountains during
the long months Of guerrilla
warfare. But the peasant class
largely remained loyal to him.
1t still is. Mr.. Castro prom
Used much and delivered little.
But the Cuban peasants re-
ceived more than they had
ever known. Because Of this,
"Castroism" began to infect
some Of the peasants in other
Latin lands.
1t might not be too late
now to let the Latin labor
unions meet some Of our own.
American labor leadership
has done an excellent Job Of
countering Communist in
fluences in foreign unions.

Programs Topics Called Political Issues,
With Quick Opposition Reply Precluded

he gets full coverage Of his
views over the television net
works. It is not like the
great debates" of the last
presidential campaign. when
the opposite candidate was at
least given a chance to
answer point by point.
All the provisions Of Fed
eral law about equal time"
with reference to television
and radio programs that
concern speeches by major
candidates in politics seem
to have become meaningless
under the new procedure.
The President can always
argue that his speeches aren't
political, though almost ev-
erything he said in the
broadcast on Monday, for
example, had to do with ma
jor political subjects which
are current issues before the
country.
The arrangements made by
the three networks for the
Presidents interview pre-
cluded any opposition speak
er following closely on the
Presidents remarks. 1t is said
they did try to invite ma
tional personalities to talk,
but there was no way by
which the latter could pre-
pare themselves for rebuttal
the same evening, though the
President himself had "a
hours in which he could
change the transcript in
whatever way he pleased.
The manipulation of news
now Is an administration
policy. and the manipulation
Of network facilities has be-
come a valuable instrument
in the arsenal Of weaponry"
on the political battlefront.
Almost everyone who knows
anything about politics is
aware that what is said dur
ling a campaign is only half
the battle, and that a sub
stantial number Of votes have
already been won or lost by
what is said or done prior to
the actual beginning Of a
campaign.

Movement Called Admission of Owners
Lack of Confidence in Continuing Rule

There is a hemorrhage of
capital out Of Latin America
to Switzerland and Paris.
This transfer Of wealth is an
admission by the owners of it
that they no longer have con-
fidence in their ability to rule
as they have for centuries.
Opponents of the admins
tration's Alliance For Pro-
gress argue it is responsible
for the flight of capital from
those countries in South
America because 1t required
local reform in taxation and
land distribution to qualify
for United States assistance.
This is an inaccurate and
dangerous oversimplification
Of the problem. 1t ignores the
reality, which is that in the
past United States loans have
served only to bolster the
handful of families that
owned the productive sources
Of land. industry and banks
In Latin America. It did not
at all alleviate the misery of
the vast majority of the popu-
lations. Such aid did not cor
rect. 1t postponed.
Well before the idealistic
and eloquent Alliance pro-
gram was announced, the
flight Of capital had begun.
Major causes were the slow
rise Of labor unions and the
discomfort of the peasant
class, the intellectuals and
the slowly-evolving middle
class.
Latin American labor
unions have appeared in a
social and political vacuum.
They had no tradition, and
no guidelines. They inevitably
attracted to them the left
wing groups, including the
Communists. One Of the long
existing failures Of Western
policy has been this neglect
