Britain:
Labor Head

Harold Wilson won election
last week as leader Of Britain's
Labor Party.
The latest Gallup Poll in Great
Britain shows the Labor Party far
ahead OF the Conservative Party
In popularity. If these findings
can be translated into votes, 1t
means that by next year the La
Dor Party will be elected TO power.
A general election must be held
in Britain by the fall OF 1864.
Since the Tories know they stand
TO lose now. there is no reason TO
suppose they will hold an cleo
ton before the required time.
Most likely. they will spend the
time between now and then try
ing to cut down Labor's popular
lead.
The chief target OF the Con-
sentative Party's campaign will be
Harold Wilson. a 47-year-old in
tellectual. who was elected last
week as the new leader OF the
Labor Party. BY a vote OF ia 10
1903. the Parliamentary members
OF the Labor Party chose Mr..
Wilson over George Brown. the
personal protege OF Hugh Gait
skell. whose death last month left
the leadership vacant This means
Mr.. Wilson will be Prime Minister

that he was opposed TO Britain's

Britain's nuclear stockpile. Mr..
Gaitskell had not objected to

ported the Nassau pact.

PoIoris Hit

Then suddenly Pravda and L.

rines -"aggressors lurking In the
sea-" The Soviet people were told
that PolariS was just as danger
Gus as land missiles and that no
Importance should be attached TO
dismantling Of bases In Italy,
Turkey and Great Britain.
In Geneva, the Soviet delega-
ton hurriedly drafted q new dis
armament proposal that outlawed
Polaris bases as well as other
types Of foreign military bases.
The new proposal had the OBJ
vious goal Of persuading Italy not
to allow its ports to serve as sub
marine bases.

If the West can maintain mill

Then. last Monday, the @. o. p.

The Republicans, headed by Sem
ator Dirksen and Representative
Halleck, charged that the "inept
conduct of our foreign affairs"
had caused wave of anti-Amer-
icaniSm to engulf Great Britain,
France and Canada. They did not
mention specifically the lingering
unhappiness in the Netherlands
over our policy on West New
Guinea, In Portugal over Angola
or in Belgium over the Congo.

last presidential battle, the Re-
publicans declared:

Political Control

Charles de Gaulle's refusal to
follow Washington's lead has led
to resentment in this country Gas
well as in Europe). Officials here
believe that Gen. de Gaulle is OPP
Grating under the assumption that
the Russians already have capitu-
lated to the West, and would be
agreeable to some sort of de-
tente with Little Europe-led by
France.
Moreover, Gen. de Gaulle wants
his own nuclear force so he can
negotiate with the Russians inde-
pendently. His supporters say
there is nothing wrong with q
strong, independent Europe be-
tween the Anglo Saxons and the
Russians.
Washington. however. believes
that Moscow will see the divided
West as an opportunity for in
creasing Communist influence. In
stead Of persuading Moscow on

THE NATIONAL SCENE
Outstanding Abroad
Political Issue Again

Republicans last week opened
a concentrated attack on Presi-
dent Kennedy's conduct Of for
eign affairs.
There's a Biblical saying often
voiced wistfully by American pol
iticians. 1t goes like this:
"a. Oh, that mine adversary
had written a book"
John F. Kennedy, author Of the
Pulitzer Prize winner, "Profiles in
Courage" wrote another book"
in the form Of a series Of presi-
dental campaign speeches in the
fall Of 1860. In 1t he decried what
he called Americas loss Of prestige
in the world, under Eisenhower
policies, and warned of the great
danger represented by Castro's
Cuba.
For some weeks lately individual
Republicans have been tearing
pages out Of this Kennedy political
anthology to embarrass him over
Cuba and over the new disarray
in the ranks Of the allies of the
North Atlantic Treaty Organiza-
ton.
On February 9. Gov. Nelson A.
Rockefeller Of New York, the man
most observers, including Mr.. Ken
nedy. believe will be the Repub-
ican presidential candidate next
year, dashed out with a major
indictment Of the administrations
treatment Of our allies.
(The Rockefeller blast came a
few days after a special Commerce
Department Committee of busi-
ness executives jolted the White
House with a report which called
the Alliance for Progress in Latin
America inadequate and inef-
ficient.)

Money Involved

The current controversy, how
ever, is centered around money.
Assertions by the U. N. and by
Mr.. Kennedy that no American
dollars will be spent on the U. N.
project have been greeted with
ill-tempered skepticism on Capitol
Hill-from some Democrats as well
as from Republicans. In fact, q
Senate Foreign Relations Subcom-
mittee has ordered a closed-door
hearing on the matter.
Administration officials explain
privately that each project of the
Special Fund is financed by monies
put up by those countries actually
undertaking the work. Since no
Americans will go to Cuba, no
American dollars will .be spent.
As for releasing American money
for other projects, 1t is pointed
out that we have approved all
288 other Special Fund projects.
Meanwhile, the Cuba issue It
self continued in the spotlight.
Senator Stennis, Democrat Of Mis-
siSsippi and Chairman of the Pre-
paredness Subcommittee, charged
that there is a tendency in the
administration to ignore "the
basic problem which Communist
domination Of Cuba represents"
If we do not want Communist
governments in this hemisphere,
lit Is time we take positive ac-
ton to make 1t clear that we
have the national will and pur-
pose to eradicate" them, the Sen
ator said.
At the end Of the week, 1t be-
gan to appear that the Repub-
licans. with the help Of a few
like-minded Democrats. had taken
the political initiative in the for
eign policy sphere from the ad-
ministration. Clearly, the admin
istration was on the defensive,

U. Prestige

AS for the matter Of United
States prestige. Mr.. Kennedy pro-
posed that I'VE wait and see,
that a clearer picture at home
and abroad will be available in
the next two years.
But while the President was at
tempting to damp down some
foreign policy fires. others flared
last week.
The expenditure Of United Ma
tons funds was involved in one
issue. A U. N. Special Fund, to
which the United States con-
tributes 40 per cent of the total
monies, has proposed spending
Sill million through the Food
and Agricultural Organization to
aid Cuba's diSintegrating farm
economy.
The United States has objected
to the U. N. proposition the
ground that conditions In Cuba
would make 1t impossible to carry
out the farm-aid program eff
ficiently. If this seems to be a
"backdoor objection" it probably
is. But, ironically, the United
States, first under President
Eisenhower and now under Mr..
Kennedy has insisted that the
U. N. Special Fund, in lining UP
projects, must not consider politi-
cal or theological criteria. We have,
In fact, approved projects for
Communist Poland and Yugoslavia
and Marxist-oriented British
Guiana.
The United States backed moves
to get a U. N. inspection team
inside Cuba to check on the dis
mantling Of Soviet missile and
bomber bases. Now. when a U. N.
inspection team-to check on farm
conditions-is to be sent to the
