No Closer Ties Are Believed Possible
Should Wilson RepLnce Macmillan

LORD Macaulay wrote a
century ago that American
democracy would fail because
the poor and ignorant held
the supreme political power,
whereas in England it was
vested in a select class which
respected property and order.
Accordingly, the malcon-
tents are firmly restrained"
Macaulay wrote. The bad
time Is got over without rob-
bling the wealthy to relieve
the INDECENT"
Macaulay would find some
irony in the current specula-
ton over the implications OF
a Labor government in Eng
land. A key element OF this
speculation is certainly the
degree to which the Ameri-
can business interests in
Great Britain may be dis
turbed by the return to pow
er of the British Socialists.
All the signs suggest that

Harold Wilson, went we'll.

said to have exclaimed,
Those British - they're

Strangely enough, a COM
prehensive plan that could
really help to overthrow
Fidel Castro and liberate
Cuba has never been for
mally presented to the world
by the United States.
In conformity with inter-
national law. and without
involving in any way the use
Of American troops or in
vading armies from the out
side. a plan could be devised
that would appeal today to
every man and woman on
the island Of Cuba. The ex-
preston Of their concerted
will could end the Castro re-
gime.
The plan would cost
money - maybe a half-bil-
lion dollars a year for five
years or more. But that's
a lot less expensive than the
loss Of human lives in even
a limited war" Besides, it
could hardly provoke that
awful "nuclear war" which
is so often cited as the rea-
son for American forebear-
ance, If not timidity.
The liberation" plan
would require, first Of all,
the appointment by Presi-
dent Kennedy Of q special
commission Of Americans
familiar with the economic
capacity and potential of
Cuba. The commission would
make a detailed report rec
ommending a broad-scale
program for the rehabilita-
ton Of Cuba. This would
spell out exactly how many
new jobs would be created
and what the probable range
of wages would be for var
ious types Of workmen in
Cuba.
The program would, Of
course, be basically agricul-
tural and would outline the
ways by which the whole
Cuban farm industry could
be rehabilitated and what
this could mean to the aver
age farmer. Cost figures,
however. would be included
for each segment OF the
economy. The whole thing
is In line with the funda-
mental principles Of the Al
lance for Progress scheme
that has been so widely pub
licized.

the Bay Of Pigs episode. but
the Cuban people now have
been told that no raiders are
to be permitted to go from
American shores into Cuba.
All this implies that there
will be no help of a military
nature forthcoming, either
directly or indirectly. It

certainly doesn't make Gu
bans feel they will be helped

Castro.
The only way to take over
the government Of Cuba is
from within, and this de-
Ponds on an aroused and uni
fled public sentiment. Since
economic difficulties are the
most pressing at present. 1t
is logical to expect that the
Cuban people will be attract
ed by the publicized pledges
Of financial and economic
assistance from the United
States which the proposed
plan would give them. 1t
would open up a new era Of
hope for everybody.
AS every individual trans
lated the American economic
plan into what 1t would mean
to him and his family-the
chance to earn decent wages

public sentiment under a
barrage OF publicity
would grow to such an extent
that thousands in the army
would themselves privately
embrace 1t and seek ways to
get a new government so that
the American plan could be
put into effect.
But without any plan at
all for the future, and with
out a concrete offer Of assist
ance Of any kind from the
United States-except some
vague phrases in official ut
terances-the people Of Cuba,
and particularly the 100000
men in the Cuban army, can
see no future for their coun-
try. That's why a plan that
is repeated over the radio
day after day could become
the very weapon that would
get rid Of Mr.. Castro as we'll
as the Soviet troops. The
revolution would restore
Cuba's place in the Organi-
zation Of American States
and give her an opportunity
to become a participant with
the other Latin-American
countries in the Alliance for
Progress.

CHARLES BARTLETT
The u. S. and a Luborite Britain

Even II Socialists come to
power in England and Ger
many. the bond Of their doc
trine is unlikely to bridge the
gap Of the British Labor
Party's distrust for the Ger
mans and its anxiety to hold
the aggressive nation in a
second or third class role.
This anxiety could become
a fundamental disagreement
between Mr.. Wilson as Prime
Minister and Mr.. Kennedy,
who deals warily with the
Germans but has continued
the Eisenhower policy Of en-
couraging them to develop
into a main military pillar Of
the Western alliance.
Washington behind him,
Mr.. Wilson will soon journey
to Moscow, and his travel
plans raise the shadow Of
another period in which the
British will seek to play the
honest broker between the
two capitals. Mr.. Macmillan
devoted considerable time
and energy to this role in the
period before the U-2 incl
dent Of 1860 and created for
a time considerable pressure
upon the United States to
move into a more concilia-
tory posture. 1t is possible
that Mr.. Wilson, responding
to the pressures Of the peace
makers at home, would prove
even more energetic in SINH
lar efforts.
Rarely has an assumption
been as broad as the current
one that Labor will win the
British election. But the as
sumption is premature in the
fact that Mr.. Macmillan has
no intention of calling an
election before the spring OF
1864. In this interim it is
possible that the Keynesian
effects of a deficit budget
and the impact Of some new
leadership may reverse the
Conservative decline. Some
signs suggest that such q
cheerfully received in Wash

Party is not a pressing one.
The "de-negotiation Of the

puts it, would be a rejection
of a gesture which Mr.. Ken
nedy made to crafty the APP
parent desire in England
and other parts Of Europe
for a more positive hand on
the nuclear deterrent. II a
new British government did
not want such a hand and
were content to rely on the
American nuclear response,
the need for the gesture
would no longer exist, at
least in regard TO that coun-
try.
The United States main
concern over England-her
failure to be admitted to the
Common Market-would not
be answered by Mr.. Wilson's
elevation to Prime Minister.

OF Gen. de Gaulle's veto in

ton that the political weak
ness of the Conservative
Party had made its re-elec-
ton impossible and that he
would be confronted. If Eng
land were admitted, by a

cion is accurate, the accept
ance of Great Britain under
a Labor government is I'M
likely in Gen. de Gaulle's
lifetime.
This outlook could be al
layed by the rising possibility
that the German Socialists
under Willy Brandt will gain
control Of the Bonn govern
ment after Chancellor Ade-
nauer. But here, too, there
are problems. The British
Socialists have long displayed
an insular aloofness from the
mainstream Of the European
movement, and their rapport
with the German Socialists
is not marked.
