PARIS. Nov. 6.-The redefi-
milton Of Britain's military role
in the Western alliance is
emerging as the most crucial
international issue in the COM
ing British elections.
This definition has taken on
q new clarity with the first
public statement on the subject
delivered in Paris yesterday by
Patrick Gordon Walker, pre-
sumptive Foreign Secretary in
any future Labor government.
His speech, delivered to the
diplomatic press here, was OBJ
viously q carefully worded
statement Of Labor policy in
the defense and diplomatic
fields. What emerged was a
new sharp emphasis on Brit
aims role as q conventional
power If a Labor gov
eminent comes to power.
The reasoning of the Labor
Party Is that Cuba proved the
impoSSibility Of resorting to
weapons of suicide" In order
to settle international disputes.
It follows from this that mo-
bile and effective conventional
forces will take on increasing
Importance in the future. Ma
tons possessing them would
WELD more influence than
those having negligible nuclear
power.
This fact apples, according to
Mr.. Gordon Walker, not only to
the great powers" such as
Britain and France, but also to
the "super-powers" themselves.
The recent American Opera
ton Big Lift was demonstra-
ton Of increasing importance
Of conventional forces.
In order to strengthen Brit
aims conventional forces, a

INTERPRETIVE REPORT.
British Splitting on A-PoIicy

sharply reduce its expenditure
for nuclear arms. Nuclear wea-
pons in being would not be
strapped. But neither would
they be replaced as they become
obsolete. Budgetary savings
would be diverted to beefing
up "non-nuclear forces.
This argument, which will
certainly be favorably received
in Washington, is directly con-
trary to the line taken by the
Conservative leadership in Brit
ain. Tories insist on the i'm
portance Of Britain keeping its
national nuclear deterrent.
They are also beginning to
warm UP to the American pro-
position for q multilateral
NATo nuclear force Of which
Labor still firmly disapproves.
On another proposition as
well, the Labor program is very
much at odds with Britain's
traditional policies in the Al
lance.
This Is the revival of French
President de Gaulle's idea for
NATo directorate" to deal
with nuclear strategy on a
global basis. Mr.. Gordon Walker
proposes that this directorate
should consist Of Britain,
France, Germany and the
United States.
The idea, first raised by
Gen. de Gaulle in 1858, was
not received with much favor.
Since then France has devoted
itself to developing its own nu-
clear deterrent independent Of
Alliance.
A NATo directorate, in the
Labor Party's view, should
develop a common nuclear
strategy in such fields as
targeting. distribution Of nu-
clear weapons and the cir
cumStances in which they
would be used.

nists will take over" has a
hollow sound today. The i'm
preston is conveyed that the
United States is buying
friendship with dollars not
only in the Americas but
throughout the world. The
feeling prevails in the under
developed countries that if
the United States doesn't
furnish money, the Russians
will. One side is played off
against the other.
The United States, by its
projects, cannot change the
habits of human nature and
produce intelligent leaders
and democratic institutions
merely by supplying funds or
by the work of thousands Of
boys and girls in the Peace
Corps. Missionaries from
many countries have for
decades been helpful in the
slow process Of bringing
civilization to lands where
savagery has prevailed. 1t
isn't a foreign aid" task
for the United States alone.
The United States may have
to assume military leadership
in providing missiles and
other weapons for defense
Of the free world, but the
American people do not have
the sole duty or obligation in
the realm Of world phil
anthropy.
The Communist impetus to
the liberation" and "inde-
pendence" movements has
been effective in Africa and
Southeast Asia only because
no overall plan of foreign
aid" coincident with the
gradual withdrawal of Euro
pean "colonialism," was
launched.
The foreign aid" problem
is not just a contest with the
Soviet government. 1t is a
project for all of the free
nations together, and the
sooner some common sense
is applied to the organization
of the whole project on a
multi-nation basis, the
quicker will the various coun-
tries in the underdeveloped
category be started on the
road to real progress with
out the rivalries and black
mail and extortion that char
acterize so many Of the

is this: Should the United
States do the job virtually
alone?
Stated briefly, a major
question is not how much the
United States can give away
each year but whether the
strategy behind the giving is
we'll conceived and whether
1t is an attempt to do too
much with too little. Also,
1t may be questioned whether
all sections Of the ambitious
program are really feasible
and can ever accomplish
their aims.
Secretary Rusk oversimpli-
fies the argument by pointing
to the areas in the world
where Americas financial as
sistance has had fruitful re-
suits in the sense that Com
munist influence has been
diminished. He made a seri-
Gus mistake, however, in the
following comment in testi-
mony before the House Com
mittee on Foreign Affairs:
There is nothing that the
Communists want more than
to see the 'Yanks go home
not only from Western Eu-
rope. but from the Mediter-
ranean, South Asia, the Far
East, Latin America, Africa,
everywhere. II we Yanks
come home, the Communists
will begin to take over. Why
any American would want to
cooperate with that Global
strategy is beyond my under
standing. But that is what
sharp cuts in our foreign
aid program would mean"
This is an erroneous inter-
probation Of the speeches and
statements of those who have
wanted the foreign aid" pro-
gram revised. For the princi-
pie itself has been widely APP
proved. What is doubted is
whether the United States is
administering the program
efficiently and whether the
American taxpayer has re-
sources enough to continue
aid to 95 countries in the
world on the scale Of the
last decade and a half.
The cry that If billions

Foreign aid" is Just a
headline phrase to millions Of
American readers. To Con-
gress, 1t is a perplexing seq
ment of an already top-heavy
budget. To the taxpayers, 1t
is either an unnecessary ex-
pense or an expenditure that
at least needs cutting.
Actually, foreign aid" is
the most costly and perhaps
the greatest adventure in hui
manitarianism and unselfish-
ness that any single nation
has ever undertaken in world
history.
Even II the program stopped
tomorrow, the record of the
United States, so far as al
truistic purpose is concerned,
would outshine what any
other nation has ever at
tempted. Some estimates have
been published which indicate
that about 500 billion, or
virtually one-third of the ma
tional debt Of the United
States, has been spent on aid
to the rest Of the world from
America. This includes mill
tary help and economic and
technical projects, both loans
and grants-money, materi-
ais, supplies and personnel.
But the question today is
what to do about financing
all this for the future. Presi-
dent Kennedy tactfully ap-
pointed a special commission
to make a study and a report.
He knew that nothing was to
be gained by defending every
thing that has been done and
that far more support would
be obtained in Congress and
among the American people
II the Governments policies
were based on needed reforms
and corrections.
But even so comprehensive
a report as was recently sub

CINCINNATI. - The old

from a boulder in the dark
waters of the Ohio River,

long-billed cap and the casual
expression of a man about to
perform q trivial thing. Six

slowly around toward the
upper lock gate. A curl Of
water splashed the shore.
Suddenly a squall Of cold
wind out Of Indiana caught

pushed her toward the rocks.

barge loomed over the start

quietly, "or we're goin' to

And he leaned casually
against the steering post,

tobacco until the engines
caught and the huge tow
halted in a boiling cauldron
of mud, and inched back into
deep water.
