What Didn't Happen

has inherited the economic prob
lens that frustrated Kennedy
from the start to the end Of his
aborted term.
Our unemployment rate IL
way down from the recession
level Of 7 per cent. But after
80 months of sustained econom-
ic advance, the overall rate sill
sticks at 5 "a per cent and the
jobless rate among teenagers Is
a shuddering 1874 per cent.
Industrial production is At an
all-time high and our outpu' OF
goods and services (gross na-
tional product) is climbing o.
ward the historic milestone Of
$500 billion. But due to our ug.
gish growth rate in recent years,
our output is at least $50 bill
lion below our normal capacity
to produce and many factories
are operating below their pre-
ferred, profitable rate.
The gap between what W
spend abroad and what we earn
abroad = the deficit in our BAL
ance of payments : is way
down from the near-catastroDh-
ic rate Of $5.1 billion recorded
In the second quarter. But the
deficit in our international ac-
counts for the full year Of 1888
will approach $3.5 billion, an
other deficit is in sight for l}64
and this red ink is a constant
threat to our dollars value.
Prices in our country have
been remarkably stable in the
last few years. But upward
pressureS are mounting and the
danger Of a renewed price-wage
spiral can never be shrugged
off.
Thus, johnson takes over the
problems as well as the a.
chievements.
Our economic growth must be
accelerated to provide jobs for
our mounting labor force, to
take up the slack in produc-
ton, to create sufficient profits
and paychecks to balance our
domestic budget. Our spending
abroad must be curbed and our
earnings abroad must be in
creased to narrow the deficit
in our balance of payments.
The tax reduction bill Ken.
nedy wanted so much is a key
to these goals. The speed with
which Congress passes the bill
now will be the first test OF
Johnson's power and skill as
President.

From The National Observer
The House bill on civil rights, now
pending before the Rules Committee, is
the broadest piece of such legislation
ever to get so far along in Congress.
It includes, among other things, the con-
troversial section on public accommo-
dations" - getting the law after business
men who decline to serve Negroes.
So it's rather strange to hear Negro
leaders railing against Congress and
the Administration, accusing them of a
''sell-out." Peculiar, too, is the back talk
to that, calling the Negro leaders cir
responsible" in making such charges.
But this is all part Of the game as
it's played, and the Juror Is not with
out usefulness.
The Negro leaders have whipped up
their followers, in the hope of making
what solid gains they can, but in the
process the followers have actually
come to believe that hundreds of years
of discriminatory practice can be re-
moved by a law. The Negro leaders
know it's impossible to draft such a
law. let alone get it passed.
So their play is to blast this bill,
which, though highly favorable to their

WASHINGTON - 1t was not
just the eloquent words but the
firm resolve and spirit of ded-
ication manifested by President
Johnson which enabled the Am
erican people and the peoples
of the world to derive from
his first address to Congress a
feeling of continuity In the high
purposes of our national and in
ternational policies.
The frequent applause that
came spontaneously from all
sides was an answer to those
persons who had worried about
the impact Of change itself, Con-
fidence comes now because the
new President interprets so ac-
curately the basic desires Of
the American people.
MI. Johnson reflected a uni.
versal view when he said that
"We must be ready to defend
the national interest and to ne
gotiate the common interest"
Reiteration of Americas OBJ
jectives in supporting the North
Atlantic Treaty Organization and
the Alliance for Progress was
not unexpected. Nor was it
surprising that the new Pres
ident said: "ThiS nation will
keep its commitments from
South Vietnam TO West Berlin"
There had arisen abroad in
the last few days a fear that
a change of policy might be in
the offing. This can only be at
tributed to a lack of knowledge
of how deeply Americans, irres-
pective Of party, feel about the
need for resolution and firmness,
yet open : mindedness toward
those who differ with us in in
ternational policy.
With respect to the highly
controversial domestic issues,
Mr.. johnson said 1.-THE ideas
and the ideals which he (PreSi-
dent Kennedy so nobly repre-
scented must and will be translat-
ed into effective action" These
of course, are broad principles
and necessarily will have to be
defined by Congress in the COM
ing weeks and months. While
urging the passage of the tax
bill and the "civil rights" bill,
the President realizes that Con-
gress must find way to secure
agreement Of many points OF
dispute in trying to achieve the
basic goals Of these measures.
This means that a spirit OF
compromise will doubtless de-
velop. Mr.. Johnson pointed the
way to it as he said:
"As one who has long served
in both Houses Of the Congress,
I firmly believe in the independ-
ence and the integrity of the
legislative branch. And ! prom
Use you that | shall always re-
spect this. It is deep in the
marrow Of my bones. With eq-
ual firmness, / believe in the
capacity and I believe in the
ability of the Congress, despite
the divisions Of opinions which
characterize our nation, to act
to act wisely, to act vigor-
ously, to act speedily when the
need arises"
There will be much discus
sion about the implicit phras-
es of Mr. Johnson's address, for
they were indeed significant. He
spoke of the need for "toler-

II Is a tribute to the basic
strength Of the United States
and to the defense network we
have created for the u. S.
dollar in the past two years
that so little has happened in our
economy since President Ken
nedy's assassination.
This is scarcely a facetious
comment. Often what does not
happen in the sphere Of finance
is more important than W h I
does happen = and last week
was a dramatic illustration of
this point.
The powerful governors of the
Federal Reserve System did
not find it necessary to call a
special meeting to ease credit
to bolster a faltering economy
because the economy didn't fall
ter.
The Treasury's debt manag-
ers did not find it necessary
to alter their financing plans to
reassure a panicky U. S. govern
ment securities market because
investors in government securi-
ties did not panic.
The central bankers OF the
free world did not find 1t neces-
Sary to take extraordinary steps
to protect the u. S. dollar from
a speculative raid because the
very existence Of the dollars
defense network killed off specu-
lation and the dollar held firm.
Wall Streets leaders did not
find it necessary to act to pre-
vent a disorderly slump in stock
prices because when the mar
kets reopened last Tuesday,
what disorder exited was more
on the up than downside.
The nations top businessmen
did not find it necessary to
downgrade their programs o.
spending on new plants a n d
equipment in anticipation Of a
showdown in the economy be-
cause there are no signS that
Kennedy'S death will be a direct
cause of an economic showdown.
Washington budget officials
did not find it necessary to re-
wise their figures on the next
budget to fit President JohnSon'S
views because Johnson's views
on the budget are generally what
Kennedy'S were.
So it goes. But just as PreSi-
dent Johnson has inherited a
sturdy economy and a protect
ed dollar from Kennedy, so he

Syrian Premier
Resigns Position

DAMASCUS, Syria, Nov 10
(AP).-Prem ier Salah Bitar
has resigned and the Syrian
National Revolutionary Council
has accepted his resignation.
The Council said consulta-
tons were already under way
for the form a tion of a new
Syrian cabinet.
The Premier, SO, who headed
the three Ba'ath-dominateo
cabinets which came to power
in Syria since last March, has
been expressing his desire to
quit since September, accord
ing to the sources.
He previously was quoted as
saying he wanted useful ele-
ments in the Arab Ba'ath Soci-
alist Party to take over.
His exit, however, does not
herald any policy changes since
the new cabinet certainly will
be controlle d by the ruling
Ba'ath Party.
