One cannot call this strate-
gem responsibility; Gen de
Gaulle is quite convinced that
his present ends fit the tide
OF history. But 1t remains
true that the manner of his
doing what he has now done
is a manner available only to
a small power. This is why
President Kennedy, tactically
weakened by the inescapable
responsibility of great power,
cannot act against Gen. de
Gaulle in like manner.

The annual flood of Lin
coins birthday oratory finds
Gov. Rockefeller out in the
open and running hard for
the Republican nomination
for President. He thinks the
honor is worth having and
is ready to work for it.
Participants in his many
conferences here last week
end reinforce the impression
that he has still to fix upon
a grand strategy for achiev-
ing the nomination, much
less the election. Rather he
seemed to shuttle between
the various factions Of the
party while taking care to
commit himself to none.
BY design, he noticeably
steered clear of associating
himself with the Cuban
charges so freely made by
Senator Heating of New
York. This, he confided to
some political associates, was
because he felt he did not
want to deal with national
issues until late spring.
When they next picked up
the newspapers they found

Too Much Talk of Fear of War

not be taken by the United
States, even If it means war?
The Soviet government may
ponder that question, for it
never stops testing its adver-
saries. Mr.. Kennedy stood
firm last october, but ques-
tionS have arisen now as to
what will be done by the
United States about the con-
tinued presence in Cuba of
$1,000 military men from the
Soviet Union. The critics
have helped by bringing this
issue to a head.
The reason, to be sure, why
nothing was done in Hun
gary and Eastern Europe is
that the West lost it's nerve.
The Soviets knew the West
wouldn't dare to go the limit
to uphold the principles of
the United Nations Charter
and protect the oppressed
peoples who sought to assert
their independence, only to
find the Soviet armies over
whelming them by force. Yet
in 1850, collective action by
the U. N. saved Korea and
repelled aggression. Many
American boys died in that
cause, as, indeed, some Amer
leans have been killed re-
Gently in South Wet Nam to

If the United States-despite
all its outward show of firm
ness-Should really lean to a
policy Of peace at any price
IN Cuba or anywhere else,
there could finally be a
provocation to war. Winston
Churchill, after World War
II was over, wrote of the
mistakes of the 1930s:
still, If you will not fight
for the right when you can
easily win without blood
shed; If you will not fight
when your victory will be
sure and not too costly; you
may come to the moment
when you will have to fight
with all the odds against you
and only a precarious chance
of survival.
There may even be a
worse case. You may have to
fight when there is no hope
of victory, because it is bet
ter to perish than live as

He wishes to resurrect the

DAVID LAWRENCE

Paradoxical as it may seem,
the greatest danger of war
today is the constant express
sion Of a fear Of war.
The sacrifice of principle
to expediency in the pasta
readiness by one side to yield
to the terror of war-has led
to miscalculation and mis-
judgment by the other side
and has brought war just the
same.
1t is for this reason that a
close analysis of what the
President of the United States
has been saying lately about
world policy In terms of the
Cuban situation is essential
to an understanding of the
dangers that lie ahead.
One must start with the
feeling that Mr.. Kennedy is
a sincere, conscientious pub
lie servant who wants to
avoid a war. But so were
some Of his predecessors who
nevertheless found themselves
in a war because an impress
sion appeared to prevail in
this country that anything is
better than war. In many
countries, moreover, one even
hears nowadays some promi-
nent persons crying out,
Better Red than dead"
The policy Of the United
States Government is based at
present not on a fear Of war
as such but on a belief that
war can be avoided and yet
no compromise on principle
made. In official circles, how
ever, there is a constant rep
etition of expressions on fear
of war. This could lead to
misjudgment in the camp of
our adversaries. The other
day on television a commen-
tator read to some Congress-
men an extract from what
Mr.. Kennedy had said, and
then, in effect. bluntly asked
them: Nov, do you want

Excessive Rehabilitation Is Held Likely
To Cause Enemy to Misjudge Us

Nov, as I say, these things
may all come about and we
may find ourselves again
with the Soviet Union toe to
toe, but we ought to know
what we have in our hands
before we bring the United
States-and ask our allies to
come with us-to the brink
again."
Later on in the conference,
Mr.. Kennedy came back to
the same theme-the posi-
bility of an external action
by the United States to get
rid of the Communist base in
Cuba. He said:
I'VE live with a lot of dan
gerous situations all over the
world. Berlin is one. There
are many others. And we live
with a good deal of hazard
all around the world and
have for is years. I cannot
set down any time in which
can clearly see the end of
the Castro regime. I believe
it is going to come, but l
couldn't possibly give a time
limit. I think that those who
do, sometimes mislead.
II remember good deal
Of talk in the early sos
about liberation, how East
ern Europe was going to be
liberated. Then we had Hun
gary and Poland and East
Germany, and no action was
taken. And the reason the
action wasn't taken was be-
cause they felt strongly, if
they did take action, 1t would
bring on another war.
80 it is quite easy to dis
cuss these things and say one
thing or another ought to be
done. But when they start
talking about how, and when
they start talking about
Americans invading Cuba
and killing thousands of Gu
bans and Americans, with all
the hazards around the
world. that is a very serious
decision, and I notice that
that is not approached di-
rectly by a good many who
have discussed the problem"
But these words Of a Presi-
dent are read everywhere, in
cluding Moscow. Do these
utterances mean that, unless
this country is directly at

approaching the freeway entry
lane on South 23rd Avenue near
Grant. AS steered my car down
the sloping road flash Of orange
came hurtling in front Of me.
With a screech of brakes I avoid
ed letting the object hit the Wind
shield. The car rolled over 1t
but 1t became caught on the un-
dercarriage.
l drove only short distance
and stopped just few feet from
the freeway. Bending down ! saw
the thing that had nearly crashed
into my windshield. There pinned
under the automobile was an
orange bicycle frame. The boys
who had tossed the frame had
disappeared by the time I ran
up the ramp.
Standing in the middle Of the
entry lane | was in a dilemma.
There we're no cars in sight.
The car wouldn't bulge. There
was no emergency phone near.
There was no cruising police
car. Here for the first dine since
have been driving | was help
less and alone.
AS l strode up the ramp a tan

the lady stopped quickly asking
about my trouble. Trying to ex-
plain and watch for other cars
which might be speeding down the

A small boy dressed in a Little
League outfit joined them. We
looked at the car. suggested
lifting the car off of the bicy-
Gle frame. We tried but without
success.
My good Samaritans offered
to drive me to service station
but the driver didn' want to drive
all the way from Grant over the
freeway to the nearest outlet at
Seventh Avenue. She courage
ously started in reverse and we
backed up the entry way. At the
top Of the ramp i. saw a man
driving a truck. I shouted and he
stopped. Taking advantage Of his
quick stop jumped out Of the
Ford and thanked my benefactors.
They stayed on the ramp until
they were certain my new found
Sama ritan would help me.
It's really a small world be-
cause the man who offered to
help me lived less than two blocks
from me. He pushed my car off
of the bicycle and checked my car
to see If 1t would start.
He was going to throw the BIZ
cycle over on the side but l told
him that wanted to take it home.
That night when my husband
called me from Washington
could almost see his eyes widen
in amazement as ! related my
freeway episode.
We rant and rave about ter
rible state Of affairs. We remon-
strate over the inequities Of daily
life. We seek solace from the
rigors of daily living. But 1t
