Kennedy Points Out Vital Issues

stantially changed by the
will of the Soviet people.
Mr.. Kennedy mentioned In
one sentence a very vital
point, but it needs elabora-
ton and reiteration. He said:
I'VE must continue to seek
agreement on a freer flow Of
information and people from
East to West and West to
East"
The very same speech Of
the President, for instance,
was censored in the Soviet
press so the Russian people
couldn't read all Of it. Other
means of communication
through such private agen-
cies as Radio. Free Europe"
become more and more nee
essary now in making con-
facts not only inside Russia
but inside the countries Of
all the captive nations in
Eastern Europe. Mr.. Kennedy
touched abstractly on the
basic issue when he said:
For we believe that truth
is stronger than error, and
that freedom is more endur-
ing than coercion. And in
the contest for a better life,
all the world can be the
winner"
But all the diplomatic
phrases, restrained express
sions and implicit avowals
of some basic principles in
international intercourse can
not erase from the worried
minds Of peoples everywhere
the fear Of a big war emery
ing some day from such
critical situations as currently
make headlines in the news
papers as they tell Of the
dangers in Wet Nam and in
Cuba.
The United States Secretary
of Defense and the chairman
of the United States Joint
Chiefs Of Staff are this week
in Wet Nam - many thous-
ands of miles away from this
country - as American mill
tary forces seek to align
themselves against Commu-
mist intrigue and subversion
and guerrilla warfare. AL this
is proof that some day real
ism must be articulated so
that the Russian people can
hear it. For unless the con-
cept Of world domination by
infiltrating weak govern
ments everywhere Is repudi-
ated by the people behind the
Iron Curtain, the cold war"
can but lead to the nuclear
war that nobody wants.

DAVID LAWRENCE

A very good speech was
delivered the other day by
President Kennedy before the
United Nations General AS
Sembly. There may be some
disagreement about the prac-
ticability Of his proposal for
a joint effort with the Soviet
Union to go to the moon -
in fact, many people probably
wish there could be a joint
proposal to call off the stunt
altogether so the same bill
lions could be used to help
poverty stricken peoples.
But, in the main, Mr.. Ken
nedy constructed an address
full of implicit meanings that
will be hailed In the field of
diplomacy as an encouraging
attitude.
It was important, for in
stance, to give the cause Of
the United Nations q stimulus
so as to persuade many mem
Der governments to pay their
share of the expenses for
current programs. So, too,
was the emphasis on the sue
cessful negotiation Of the
treaty limiting nuclear tests.
There was also q brief but
significant reminder, to the
rest Of the world that "the
United States since the close
Of the war has sent over
500 billion worth of assist
ance to nations seeking eco
nomic viability." There was a
subtle suggestion, moreover,
that more help should be
forthcoming from those coun-
tries which now can afford
it and which must in turn
recognize their responsibility
to less-developed nations"
While the President en-
deavored to interpret the
signing Of the treaty limiting
nuclear tests as possibly re-
ducing world tension, he
rightly stressed nevertheless
the need for safeguards
against surprise attack" and
the possibility of war by
accident or miscalculation."
Perhaps the most diff
cult and perplexing topic
with which the President had
to deal in his address was
the continuance of the cold
war" He spoke hopefully of
the recent nuclear test ne
gotiations as having brought
a pause in the cold war"
He suggested that the respon-

the Central Intelligence
Agency and the Defense De-
partment, with its disastrous
impact in recent weeks on
American policy.
In this distribution Of
blame, the heaviest burden
falls on the CHA. The Of
ficials making these criti-
cisms are not vindictive, nor
do they have any desire to
stir up a row inside the
administration.
With the evidence in their
hands Of the incredible and
garish plumbers committed
in a sickening sequence by
the CHA, these men in the
State Department would be
false to their trust If they
remained silent while omens
Of disaster steadily accumu-
lated.
The wretched muddle in
Wet Nam shows the folly
and the danger Of allowing
the CHA to be a primary
force in the development Of
American policy. The CHA
should be an instrument for
carrying out an agreed pol
icy: it should never be the
architect of policy.
Two further points should
be made:
First, Ambassador Lodge,
by consent of those best able
to Judge, is doing a first-rate
Job In very hard conditions.
Secondly, the action Of
Senator Church and some 30
other Senators in threaten
ing to cut off aid is designed
to strengthen President Ken
nedy in his dealings with the
Diem government. It arms
President Kennedy with a
lever against that government
If 1t resists necessary re-
forms in Wet Nam or If it
flirts with a danger of neu-
trality.

Worlds Course Like q Ship's

waves, regardless Of the
crests and troughs Of the
swell, itself, life has moved
toward intelligence and per-
lection. The record in the
rocks is plain. The slow
progress from simple cells to
complex, from spores to
seeds, from ganglia to brains.
That is the tide.
In the brief span Of human
history the tide Is most i'm
preSsive. We are ashamed of
ourselves not because we are
not better than our ancestors
but because we have learned
to be ashamed of what they
gloried in. We murder still,
but not with the luSty Joy of
Attila and Akbar. Our ex-
cuseS for hatred may be
lame, but 1t is wonderful that
we now feel the need Of ex-
cuses. Tyranny never used
to apologize, but all our
present tyrannies now pro-
claim themselves the instru-
ments Of freedom.
The tide may not always
rise. In our folly we could
poison the air. Our earth
might collide with a vag-
rant planet or a hot star
may peel away our atmos-
phere. Our vehicle In space
is, after all, a small satel-
lite of a second-rate star
two-thirds of the way out in
a bush-league galaxy.
But If you sit upon the
after-terrace Of the Queen
Elizabeth. watching the
taffrail rise and fall against
the boundless sea, 1t is hard
to escape the warm convic-
ton that the Master Builder
is neither blind nor purpose
less, that the rising tide will
not be a short one.
Whatever the danger of the
waves and the disappointing
downsweep Of the swells, we
are embarked on a good
ocean.

Developments Show Folly of Letting
Intelligence Agency Establish Policies

AS the war in Wet Nam
has continued. the struggle in
Washington between rival
groups inside the admins
tration has grown in bitter
ness and intensity. There
have been angry mutterings
OF resignation-not carried
out In practice-and high
words about drift and dan
ger. Part Of the tension has
been caused by clashes in
temperament but the central
problem arises from differ
ences over public policy.
BY the middle Of April, or
even a few days earlier, 1t
seemed clear to a few dis
corning officials in the State
Department that the mill
tary struggle had begun to
turn slowly yet decisively
against the Com m unist
forces.
This basic military fact
has been obscured by the
later political storms but the
available evidence confirms
this trend. Only about 10 per
cent of the Communist
forces, which number some
what less than $4,000 men,
comes from outside Wet
Nam.
This background deserves
considerable emphasis for 1t
shows that the Defense De-
partment and the Central In
telligence Agency are en-
titled to praise for this lin
tied achievement. AS the
weeks dragged on, however,
1t became painfully evident
that both of them were guilty
Of shambling inaccuracies in
reading the political situa-
ton in Wet Nam.

the scenes is made public
years from now, no one will

History Records Ups, Downs of Waves
But Rise of Tide Is Most Impressive

Ages man looked wistfully
back on the crest of ancient
glorieS and mourned the
death Of the arts and SCI
ences. The medieval despair
ended with the discovery Of
the New World. The feverish
activity in empire-building
and invention both enriched
and shook the old kingdmos
and eliminated in the COM
mon mans efforts to govern
himself.
The up-swell was a time of
optimism. Western Man wor-
shipped his new machines.
He hailed the end of supersti-
ton. The missionary would
uplift the grateful heather.
Education would cure the all
mentS Of the world. In the
glow Of transcendental cheer
fulness he roared into the
goth century.
Then came the grinding
horror Of World War I, the
agony Of empires, the Com
must revolution. And, half
a breath later, Hitler arrived
with his brown-shirted ber-
serks and deliberately ration
allied cruelties unknown since
the InquiSition.
So we hit the down-swell
and the Existentialists say
that mere existing in this
awful world is good enough.
The preachers thunder about
mans inherent and hopeless
sinfulness. Beneath the H
bomb the world crouches and
whimpers as 1t did in the
days Of the Black Death
half a millennium ago.
But we forget the tide.
Short Of gravity itself the
tide is the worlds greatest
force. And In the history of
living things the course of
the tide has been up, never
down. Regardless Of the

be able to deny that the State
Department, on the basis of
papers and recommendations
written at the time and not
with the wisdom of hind
sight, had a far greater in
sight into the true situation
in Wet Nam than any other
agency in the American gov
eminent. Yet the State De-
partment has faced a des-
perate and wearing struggle
to get its view embodied in
American policy.
If the final result in Wet
Nam should be q defeat for
the cause supported by
American arms and Ameri-
can money, there will be a
rush in this country to place
the blame on the most vul-
nerable scapegoats. What is
an easier target than the
State Department.
1t will be said that the
State Department lost South
Wet Nam Just as 1t once lost
China. That charge is wrong
about China, and it certainly
never can be true about Wet
Nam.
The record will show that
the State Department from
the very beginning saw the
tragic significance of the
Diem governments attack on
the students. 1t understood
the moral decay and political
cruelty that prompted the
campaign against the Bud
dhists. 1t regretted the timid,
laundering and inconsistent
appeal made to the army in
Wet Nam to assert its indie
pendence.
It argues now that II 1t is
hard to find an alternative
to the Diem group, the blame
rests in no small part on the
unfortunate alliance between

sibilities of the Soviet Union
and the United States in
seeking peace require our
two countries to concentrate
less on our differences and
more on the means of resolv-
ing them peacefully" But
lest this be construed as any
indifference to the basic is
sues, Mr.. Kennedy said that
mo service is performed by
failing to make clear our dis
agreements" He pointedly
added that "a central differ
ence is the belief of the
American people in self-de-
termination for all peoples"
1t was here that the Presi-
dent reiterated this Govern
ment'S belief that 1.-THE people
of Germany and Berlin must
be free to reunite their cap
ital and their country" He
declared, also, that Cuba
must be free" and that "in
all the world-in Eastern
Europe, as well as Western,
in Southern Africa as well as
Northern, in old nations as
we'll as new-people must be
free to choose their own fu-
ture, without discrimination
or dictation, and without CO.
ercion or subversion."
The President appeared to
be conscious Of the activities
in the U. N. Of the organ
lied bloc of Afro-Asian ma
tions. While he condemned
"all forms of human oppres-
sion" and expressed his dis
approval of "apartheid," he
made for the first time a
comment that shows signs of
understanding the problems
of whites in South Africa.
He said that 1--WE do not
advocate the rights Of black
Africans in order to drive
out white Africans" He made
his plea on the basis of "the
right Of all men to equal
protection and opportunity"
There was one note lack
ing in the Presidents speech.
The omission may have been
due to diplomatic expediency
"a desire to say nothing at
present that would be often
sive to the Moscow regime

all the hopes for peace in the

tensions will continue so long

ABOARD SIS. QUEEN
ELIZABETH - I am sitting
on the veranda terrace. And
I am looking aft at the boil
ing wake as it is gradually
swallowed by the Atlantic
rollers. The taffrail flagpolt
inscribes lazy letter-S's on
the misty horizon.
Now, philosophy comes cas-
lily after q staggering five
course luncheon, and it has
occurred to me that the ship
can be likened to civilization
and the ocean to human his
tory.
The sea has three kinds
of vertical movement
waves, swell and tides.
The waves are the product
of local winds and currents,
soon raised and soon quieted.
The small boatman is most
concerned with waves, and
with good reason.
The swell comes from a
great distance, born in re-
mote storms or hurricanes,
its undulations racing across
thousands of miles Of ocean
at so miles an hour. It does
not swamp small boats, as
waves can, for the distance
between crest and trough is
too great. But a ship like this
one, far too big to be con-
cerned with waves, rocks and
pitches with the swell.
In the open sea the tide
is imperceptible to the huge
liner and the fishing dory
alike. But 1t affects both
equally. 1t can be ignored,
but not resisted. 1t is the
great fact of the sea.
AS waves most directly
concern the small boat so
do the waves of life COM
mand the interest of the
average human being. In
their absence there is calm,
in the ripples good fishing,
and In the combers potential
disaster. And, since Journal
ism Is merely q reflection Of
human interest, waves, too,
are its chief concern.
How are the Yanks doingp
What Is the price Of lamb
skins in Christchurch2 Will
the new vaccine really pro-
tect the babies from measles2
Who Is the Mad Stranger?
When will snow drive down
the elk and rain come to
save the rice paddy2
These are the things that
absorb us all. Whether we
eat blubber, or chill, wear
Ascot ties or walrus skin
breeches, worship tree gods
or nothing, the little waves
are what we call news"
They may spell plenty or
want, divert us with gossip
or with style, supply us with
the real wars OF killing or
the mock wars Of sport.
These are the waves that
make the rides in our little
boats interesting or terrify-
ing.
But far greater than the
waves Is the swell. The swell
reaches across time. Its rise
and fall interests philoso-
pliers and theoretical his
torians who try to fathom
why civilizations flourish and
decay, why man finds him
self marching generally up
hill for awhile and then gen.
orally down.
