LOS ANGELES.-The eff
fort to rebuild the California
Republican Party along mod
crate lines suffered a severe
setback last week end when
militant conservatives took
control Of the Young Repub-
licans.
Scoring compromise and
ignoring public pleas by their
seniors, they elected q new
State president, an attorney
strongly backed by leaders Of
the John Birch Society. In
all, their well-organized forces
named nine Of IL Statewide

to press their views on the
national YR convention in
June.
The same threat will be
posed at the convention next
week end Of the Volunteer
Republican Assembly which
figured SO prominently in
the rapid rise Of Richard
Nixon. Assembly President
Fred Hall predicted "they
will be right at our threats"
and said the assembly in
cluded a substantial number
Of Birchers.

Mr.. Churchill's speech last

Since the automatic re-
flexeS Of a self-conscious
America are what they are,
it is part Of the current con-
ventional wisdom to assume
that President Kennedy's de-
clared purpose of talking
turkey to allies even at the
risk of unpopularity has al
ready come a cropper with
the Administrators famous
statement scolding the Ca
madam government for not
making up its mind on the
acceptance of nuclear war
heads.
This is surely not so; nor
can 1t be true that the de-
tense Of the continent and
hemisphere solidarity" are
endangered. as the New
York Times gravely warns
us. Whatever the terms of
our Joint defense arrange
ments with Canada, joint
they will be; geography and
common sense on both sides
Of the 49th parallel will de-
mand this; and whatever
Canada does will not in the
future affect our relations
with the rest of the hemis-
phere any more than 1t has
in the past, which is not
much.
AS to the now dethroned
prime minister. Mr.. Diefen-
baker, there is less there

indeed, campaign for re-elec-
ton OF his party this April
to the sweet-and-sour music
OF anti-American passion. as
now threatened, but it will
be a muted passion, as were
his expressions in two previ-
Gus elections. AT bottom is
the fact that the blunt little
scolding from Washington
was only the occasion for the
cabinet fall in Canada. not
its cause, and all informed
Canadians know this.
OF course, Canada's fate is
rather helplessly linked to
ours; Of course, Canada

Officials of the United Ma
tons are disturbed over the
widespread disapproval of
that organizations project
designed to aid Cuban agri-
culture. Criticism of the U. N.
is being expressed in speeches
in Congress by members of
both parties.
The incident is significant
because it brings to the fore
front the difference between
officials with a superstate
concept and spokesman for a
single country like the United
States, which happens now
adays to be footing most of
the bill Of the United Ma
tons.
U. N. officials are quick to
point out that the United
States isn't paying any Of the
expense for the Cuban prof.
ect itself, but they choose to
ignore the fact that the u. N.
Is nevertheless taking a posi-
ton decidedly at variance
with American policy in the
cold war"
1t Is pointed out on behalf
Of the U. N. that, out of $3.50
million for projects in SO
countries, less than "a million
are for projects which the
United States has disap-
proved. OF the $685. million
for approved projects, the
countries aided have con-
tributed lands and buildings
valued at $343 million. OF the
remaining $242 million, the
United States has paid 40 per
cent, or about $97 million.
ms SGT million comes
from American taxpayers.
The projects are unquestion-
ably helpful to the countries
involved. but the United
States is paying more than
its proportionate share Of
the total.
The same thing Is true,

is going to imperil such CO.
operation in the future and
lose the help of the American
Congress.
The argument Of the u. N.
officials is that their organ
ization cannot be influenced
by the national consider
ations Of any country. Cuba,
1t is insisted, is q member Of
the U. N. and thus is entitled
to all its privileges. But in
answer to this, it may be said
that the United States is also
a member. with the full right
to withhold funds for special
projects that go for purposes
which could defeat American
foreign policies.
The point Is made in U. N.
circles that If a declaration
Of war existed between Cuba
and the United States, this
would Immediately interrupt
any fund-giving or the OPP
erations Of the U. N. in any
belligerent country. No state
of war has, Of course. been
proclaimed. But U. N. off,
Gals overlook the existence
Of a "cold war" and the fact
that billions Of dollars are
being spent to try to defeat
Communist aggression and
that American lives are being
lost around the world in
places like Wet Nam in an
effort to check the military
operations Of the Commu-
niSts. Also, in the last few
weeks, there has been re-
vealed a military huildup in
Cuba by the Soviets as a
forerunner Of possible agrees
sion in Latin America.
When the U. N. becomes
technical and insists that
only a declaration of war
can interrupt its help to the

people. through their repre-
sentatives in Congress. will
also tend to become technical
and will insist that no money
