Mr.. Kennedy's sAssistont
Shapes the Future

breathtaking in its simplicity.
1t was wonderfully effective
in 1860, when he pleaded for
a chance to get the country
moving again." 1t was less so
in 1862, when he tried to dis
tinguish between Democrats
in Congress who say yes"
and Republicans who say
no."
But good or bad as cam
paign oratory, it is woefully
weak political theory and
rotten history. It leads Mr..
Schlesinger to the absurdity
of linking Alexander Hamil-
ton, John Quincy Adams and
Franklin D. Roosevelt in one
tradition and Thomas Jeffer-
son and Herbert Hoover in
another.
Moreover, 1t forces him into
the embarrassing statement
that liberals are really com
mitted to ends rather than
to methods" Surely Mr..
Schlesinger is not serious in
suggesting that the promise
Of social progress" justifies
any policy.
Middle Ground
He is vague in this book on
his economics. THE broad
liberal objective" he says, "is
to occupy that middle ground
between capitalism and social
ism whose viability has so
long been denied by both
capitalists and socialists"
He is very specific, how
ever, about business and busi-
nesSmen. Here are four typical
quotes:
THE very qualities of un-
bridled and creative acquisi-
tivenesS that account for the
economic contributions of
American business seem to
disqualify it as a governing
class"
Economic Security
Conservatism founded on
land is committed to perma-
nence in a community and
responds to social motives.
Conservatism founded on
money is tickle, selfish, and
irresponsible; it's chief object
is to protect what it has and,
If possible. to make more"
"The conservative party in
our country is essentially the
party Of business, dominated
by what Theodore Roosevelt
(who knew them welD once
described as men very power
ful in certain lines and gifted
with the money touch, but
with ideals which in their
essence are merely those of
so many glorified pawn
brokers F."
And finally: "Anti-intellec-
tualiSm has long been the
anti-Semitism of the busi-
nessman."
There are interesting prop
ositions. Perhaps David Suss-
kind will arrange some time
for Mr.. Schlesinger to discuss
them with such businessmen
as Secretary of Treasury Dill
Ion. Secretary of Defense,
Mcnamara and the Pres
ident's father.

THE POLITICS OF HOPE

by ATJnuT M. SCnleSlnger,

Co.; So
The World, as seen from Har-
Uard yard,
Was dismal. You perceiUe
me
NotG tDith White House card.
AIS much tmproued, be-
heUe me.
This volume is a collection
of 20 magazine pieces written
chiefly during the Eisen-
hover years, when Mr..
Schlesinger was leading a
double life as a Harvard
historian and as the favorite
social commentator of the
intellectual Left. He was on
the outside then and found
much to disapprove in the
management Of American
affairs.
The essays are wrapped,
loosely, around a brief intro
duction written by Mr..
Schlesinger in his new guise
as special assistant to the
President. 1t shows how much
better the same things can
look from inside the White
House in the age of Kennedy.
A New Freedom
I'VE no longer seem an old
Nation, tired, complacent and
self-righteous," says the new
Schlesinger, donning his rose
colored glasses. Our national
leadership is young, vigorous,
intelligent, civilized and ex-
perimental. The life of
the mind enjoys a new free
dom and a new status. There
has never been such official
interest in and support of
the arts. Wit has become
respectable. The word
'togetherness' has passed
from the language. =. We
are Sons of Liberty once
again."
The essays from Mr..
Schlesingers Blue Period
have more merit than his
gushing introduction would
suggest. He has perceptive
things to say about a number
of people-notably Whitaker
Chambers, in a brilliant re-
view comparing Witness"
with Lincoln Steffens' Auto
biography" He writes we'll
and he knows how to harpoon
his enemies with a phrase.
Many of the pieces are
dated, however. AS Mr..
Schlesinger charmingly puts
it, they deal with "the
peculiarities of the sos E.
which have almost
the air of a forgotten
nightmare"
The Party of Hope
What gives the book in
terest is the insight it affords
into the mind of a man who
is, at least nominally, one Of
the Presidents chief advisers.
1t is less satisfactory for this
purpose than his earlier book,
The Vital Center" but two
points at least emerge with
some clarity: His conception
of liberalism and his attitude
toward business.
Mr.. Schlesinger says he is
a member of Emerson'S party
of Hope. He says his party
is humane, skeptical and
pragmatic has no dogma,
no sense of messianic mission,
no belief that mortal man can
attain Utopia, no faith that
fundamental problems have
final solutions"
All a liberal need believe, he
says, is that society can and
should be improved, and the
way to improve it is to apply
human intelligence to social
and economic problems" 1t
helps, he suggests, If the
liberal also believes "the con-
servative opposes efforts
at purposeful change"

Rivers Tells Ways and Means Of Oil Industry Impact on Alaska

Since tax policy as embod- led in the existing oil depletion allowance initiates heavily to- ward oil exploration and devel- opment in new petroleum frontier such as my State of Alaska, l consider it relevant and constructive to speak in favor of keeping the oil deple- tion allowance as it is, and to support that position with ap- propriate facts and figures, said Congressman Ralph J. Rivers last week in a statement before the House Ways and Means Committee in Washington. D. C.
 Alaska now ranks 18th among the States in oil produc- tlon, with an output of approx imately 29,000 barrels daily, but a long and very expensive task lies ahead before the 49th States full petroleum poten- tial can be measured and de- veloped. Because Alaska is stiff rank wildcat country, this development will, in my judg- ment, take place only if the has access to very large amounts of venture capi- tai, which funds are generated within the industry in great part because of existing tax provisions he observed.
 Commenting on tax revision proposals to reduce significant ly the current depletion allow Rivers said: Any tax re- vision which hurts the explor- Pr and producer will be doubly damaging in Alaska where ex- oloration and development costs are PA times that of the
The frontiersman., 1963-04-04

average for all producing areas in the United States.
 T am informed that the av- craze cost of drilling a we'll in Alaska is in the neighborhood of $535, 900. This average cost elsewhere ranges from approx imately $36,300 in North Louis- jana to $436, ,690 for a Texas off shore well. These figures re- present actual drilling costs only and do not reflect such costs as lease acquisitions and geological and geophysical costs.
 The states lone representa- tive in the House pointed out that Alaska must compete with other areas in attracting capi- tai into the risky business of exploring for new deposits, and the effect of increased taxes on the oil industry clearly will be most serious in those areas, such as Alaska, where the ex- ploration and development costs are high and the chances for success low.
 After some 50 or 60 years of off-and-on searching, oil was discovered in commercial quan- titles in Alaska in 1957," he re- ported. In the intervening six years, one major oil field and five gas fields have been dis covered.
 Tn 1862, however, 29 dry holes were drilled to an aver age depth of $500 feet. The ap- proximately $l7 million invest ed in these dry holes came from depletion taken on pro- ducing properties in other parts of the United States
 After describing the negative but realistic effect of the tax proposals on Alaska's infant oil industry Rivers went on to describe the impact of oil on the new state:
The frontiersman., 1963-04-04

The revenue produced for the State of Alaska by the De- troleum industry has been a lifesaver to the new State gov ernment and a welcome stimu- Jus to Alaska's economy, quite apart from the benefits accru- ing to the national interest by the development, to date, of more than POO million barrels of proven oil reserves. It has been estimated that nearly Sl out of every S2 in State rev. enue in Alaska today is deriv- ed directly or indirectly from the oil industry.
 What does this industry mean to Alaskan" he asked. Tt means 1,790 new jobs, new as sociated businesses serving the petroleum industry, and sub- stantial tax base. Supplemental industries such as helicopter services, aircraft charters, tugs. and barges in Alaska have benefited from the oil explora- ton boom.
 The industry has built ITO miles of new roads in Alaska opening up heretofore inacces- sible areas. Taxes, bonuses and royalties paid by the industry have had a stimulating effect on the States economy"
 Quoting estimates for petrol- cum industry expenditures over the past four years of $665, ,000 for every mile of hole drilled, wet or dry, exclusive of land acquisition costs, Rivers concluded: By some standards. some of these expenditures and some of these Investments may not appear overly impressive. But, l assure you they loom large and important to a young State as 1t seeks to convert it's vast natural resources into a sound basis for growth.
