alone have chosen; therefore
do impose this yoke upon yOu."
There is no question that the
Torah was the chief instrument
of Jewish survival, and alone
gave meaning to that survival.
There is no question but that the
State of Israel has a special
quality derived from the TOrah
which all of its citizens, in their
several ways, acknowledge.
Rabbi Silver briefly discusses
the question that has always in
trigued me - What happened to
the original tablets of the law on
which it was believed the original
Torah was inscribed? According
to biblical accounts, they we r g
kept in the Ark and carried
through the wilderness and finally
deposited in the Temple in Jeru-
salem. But they were not in the
second Temple. What happened to
them? AS Rabbi Silver writes,
"They had disappeared and they
were no longer needed or missed. !"
This throws an interesting light
on the religious outlook of Jews
who have never even cared where
Moses was buried, as contrasted
with Christendom's veneration of
sacred relics and Holy Places. The
primary concern of the Jews has
always been with performing the
mitzvot, fulfilling the ethical COM
mands of their religion. This en-
phasis, as Rabbi Silver convinc-
ingly demonstrates, gives its inn
petus and direction by Moses in
the original Torah.

President Kennedy believes
he has q wise policy regard
ing Cuba which, given time
and patience, will squeeze
the Russians out Of that is
land and bring about the
downfall Of Fidel Castro. It is
apparent from Senator Keat-
ing's remarks to the editors
that the Kennedy admins
tration can look forward to
a long career Of defending it.
Senator Heating charges

drawalS from Cuba only equal

the political overtones of the
dialogue would suggest re-

indignation expressed in the
Congressional Record Is not
quite the same thing.
Happily. q manly voice has
been raised here in behalf Of
the Cuban exiles as people
who need help apart from
their role as pawns in q po-
litical and defense situation.
The administration lost q

excuses, the interventionists
have forced the President to
curtail the raiding parties.
They have brought him to the
edge Of q break with the
refugee organization. And II
anything, interventionist crit
icism Of the administrators
Cuba policy Is more virulent,
and more widespread, than
ever.
For the long run, It is
doubtless a good thing that
the President has been forced
into the open. The United
States cannot afford TO be
dragged into war. Moreover,
there was at all times some
thing seedy about the refugee
connection; II this country
needs to get rid Of Mr.. Castro

these things were apparent

Doubt on the System in Certain Cases
Is Seen From Steel Price News Stories

vague, and this point has
never been clearly inter-
preted by the Supreme Court.
There is one law which says
that it is a crime to sell goods
at "unreasonably low prices
for the purpose of destroying
a competitor" The Supreme
Court has recognized that a
company might have a ''le-
ultimate commercial objec-
tive" such as liquidation Of
excess, obsolete or perishable
merchandise or to meet a
lawful equally low price Of a
competitor"
But there apparently are
risks in reducing prices as
dangerous as in raising
prices. II companies follow
each other, what is their
motive? Each company that
is operating on q narrow
margin may feel 1t should go
to a higher price If its COM
petitor does. It's the larger
companies which, by keeping
prices down, can drive q
small company out Of bust
ness.
Economic law-the natural
circumstances that govern
supply and demand-should,
of course, prevail. But in re-
cent months another factor
far more potent than eco
nomic law itself somehow has
gotten into the picture. It is
the power Of the President of
the United States to threaten
companies with grand Jury
investigations If the admins
tration happens to dislike a
rise in prices at q particular
time.
When Mr.. Kennedy in the
last few days decided to ac-
quiesce in what are called
"selective" price increases in
the steel industry, he took a
constructive step which will
do more to improve the bust
ness situation than even a
tax cut could do.
Confidence on the part Of
the business world Is q diff

cult thing to measure. Its
absence is readily apparent,
and its presence is a mate
rial factor in encouraging
business planning and busi-
ness expansion.
When Mr.. Kennedy this
time refrained from using
presidential influence on the
price-making machinery, he,
in effect, proclaimed through
out the business world a
message Of encouragement.
1t could change the whole
trend in business generally
and bring the stimulus that
has been lacking during the
last IL months.
But, it is often asked, will
not the price increases bring
initiation? The answer Is to
be found in examining the
experience Of the past with
price increases. Sometimes
they stick and sometimes they
cannot stand up against
buyer resistance. But even
so, a moderate rise in the
cost of materials doesn't al
ways lead to q correspond
ing price increase by the
users.
Businessmen hesitate q
long time before increasing
prices. They want the de-
mand for their products not
to diminish but to increase.
They want larger and larger
volume. It is conceivable
that there may be small in
creases in prices by users Of
steel. But the test will be
whether a larger volume can
be attained.
AS for union labor. its
leaders are familiar with the
profit squeeze" and also
with the high cost Of strikes.
1t will be a year or more be-
fore there can be a deter
mination Of the extent to
which the current price rise
will actually increase profits
Of the steel companies. The
outlook in the steel industry
for at least a year Of progress
now has changed for the
better.

Americans pride them
selves In the belief that they
have a government of law"
But the news dispatches of
the last few days cast doubt
on whether in certain in
stances such q system really
prevails.
Again and again the pub
lie has been given the i'm
preston that somehow the
President of the United
States today has the power
under law to approve or dis
approve Of steel prices. When
the announcement was made
a week ago that q small
steel comany had raised its
prices, there began to appear
dispatches from Washington
and Palm Beach which re-
ported widespread conjecture
as to whether the White
House would interfere and
Squelch the price rise.
Virtually all the steel COM
panies, one by one, now have
announced their decision to
follow the first company, but
each has applied the formula
OF a price rise a little differ
emily on q "selective" basis.
Does the President really
have any power to forbid
price rises? There is no law
that says so. But If the steel
companies follow one an
other in q certain course Of
action, can they be pros
ecuted? The laws are not
clear. There is some reason
to believe that it is a possible
violation of existing Federal
laws for several companies
in an industry to conspire to
raise their prices, and by the
same token it is said to be
unlawful for them even to
reduce prices In concert.
Surprising. however, the
companies do not consult
one another but each one
actually arrives at q judy
ment Independently. Can this
action be prosecuted? The
answer Is that existing law is

Administration Whiz Kids Lack of Tact
In Case of Dr.. Miro Called Appalling

Never has this fact been
more sharply illustrated than

Attacking the Cuban Policy

ly that the internal problems
Of the refugees could not be
allowed to affect foreign pol
icy, and he has cleared his
hearings with the White
House and State Department.
He expects to review the
Cuban program Of the
Health, Education and We'll
fare Department which pre-
sumably operates In cooper
alton with the welfare agen-
cies Of the locality. Much has
been done by private sub
scription and charity. What
it actually accomplishes
should be within the scope of
the inquiry.
The Presidents policy Is
directing at isolating Cuba
without starving the Cuban
people. It lacks the drama Of
military action and the big
stick but its architects are
convinced that 1t will work.
A major tactical element In
it Is to win increasing CO.
operation from the Organiza-
ton Of American States.
II is argued that with time
the Soviets will find Mr.. Cas-
tro an increasingly expensive
ally In every way. The ad-
ministration also hopes and
believes that its troubles with
some Of the more emotional
Cuban leaders are doubled in
spades In the Khrushchev-
Castro relationship. Ger
tainly. no two political lead
ers are less alike than those
about to meet In Moscow.
