PARIS, Nov. 20.-A gentle
manly but fundamental differ
ence on the question of trade
policies with the Communist
bloc has emerged from the
economic discussions of the
North Atlantic Treaty Organ
ization this week.
American sources today are
emphasizing that there has
been no row over the disagree
ment and that no one is mad
at anybody. But it is also clear
that the common position"
which the United States was
hopeful of developing within
NATO now appears unlikely.
The British and Italians have
persisted in their refusal to
accept limitations on trade
with the Eastern bloc, in face
of strong arguments from other
members of the alliance. In
particular they have turned
down a proposal that a first
year limit on guaranteed cred.
its should be observed by all
NATO members.
The matter has been turned
over to a committee of the
NATO Council for further dis
cussion. But in light Of atti-
tudes expressed at the min
isterial meeting here no formal
agreement seems likely.
Differ on Strategy
The difference, 1t seems
arises less from natural tend
ency of the British and Italians
toward liberalism on questions
of trade than from a difference
on cold war strategy. 1t is
basically a disagreement over
how to make the Russians and
their East European friends
more responsible and congenial
members Of the international
community.
The view held most firmly
by Germany and the United
States, and shared by a major
ity of NATO countries, is that
this will not be done by excess
sive generosity on the part of
the West.
1t is, in a sense, a business

would seem to be no. Such
concentrated regionalism was
for years the bane Of the
Democrats and will almost
surely prove the curse Of the
Republicans.
It Is not alone the nature
Of the South's embrace Of
the G. o. P. as shown at
Charleston which troubles
party moderates. Leaders
there displayed little taste for
a challenge to entrenched
Democrats in Congress or
for a real effort to displace
conservative Democrats at
the State level.
The Charleston appeal Is
simply too shallow for a
strongly based two-party
system in the South. The
fact is that campaigners in
States which are showing
greater Republican gains
North Carolina and Florida,
for example-play down the
racial issue and play up ma
tional questions. Their most
successful candidates are
Republican Firsters.
A Goldwater success would
be lightly rooted If it left
Democrats in control of Con-
greSS and the courthouses. It
would imperil Republicans
outside the South and offer
little inducement to the

Segregation and Supreme Court

sents the best possible plan
short Of the compulsory in
terchange Of Negro and
white students between dis
tant communities" Under
the proposed "free-choice
transfer policy" students in
schools with high Negro or
Puerto Rican enrolment
may transfer to any other
school in the city where
space is available.
In Boston, segregation Of
the public schools by reason
of housing and employment
is conceded. The school board
there has been under attack
by the National Association
for the Advancement Of
Colored People, but insists the
segregation Is coincidental
and not intentional.
This, however, doesn't meet
the requirements of the SUI
preme Courts supplementary
opinion Of 1855, which says
that the courts may consider
transportation systems, the
revision Of school districts
and attendance areas into
compact units to achieve q
system of determining ad-
mission to the public schools
on a nonracial basis, and re-
vision Of local laws and reg
ulations which may be neces-
Sary in solving the foregoing
problems.
The President of the
United States is virtually the
mayor Of the City of Wash
ington, and the Congress is,
in effect, the board Of alder
men. Since 1t now Is being
sought to abrogate State lines
by invoking the commerce
clause" Of the Constitution
to support a Federal law to
prohibit racial diScrimina-
ton in public accommoda-
tionS," 1t is conceivable that
school districts in the all
white section Of Washing
ton or those embracing near

areas could Someday be
classified by the courts as
available for transfers of
students away from the ere
segregated" schools Of the
District Of Columbia. Ger
tainly a large number of Ne
gro children are not getting
the classroom benefits OF
mingling with white children
in Washington schools which
were so strongly recon-
mended by the Supreme
Court in its DEGREES against
segregated schools.

Segregation by race - not
by order Of the law or by
rule of the courts but by
reason of physical circum-
stances - is increasing in
many American cities as
Negroes fill up the public
schools in those communities
while whites move to the
suburbs.
This presents q situation
which the Supreme Court of
the United States In its 1854
decision deplored and called
on the public to correct. The
high court said:
Does segregation Of chill
dren In public schools solely
on the basis of race, even
though the physical facilities
and other tangible factors
may be equal, deprive the
children of the minority
group Of equal educational
opportunities? We believe
that 1t does"
The court went on to say
that to separate children
from others of similar age
and qualifications solely be-
cause Of their race generates
a feeling Of inferiority as to
their status in the commu-
nifty" and has a serious effect
on their educational oppor-
tunities."
An example Of how "re-
segregation" is developing
may be seen in the latest
statistics from the school
authorities in the Nations
Capital. There are in the
City of Washington 10 ele-
mentary schools with no
white pupils and 81 more
with IS or fewer white stu
dents. Thirteen junior high
schools and six senior high
schools have IS or fewer
white students. Five of these
schools have no whites.
There are, on the other hand,
Is elementary, one junior
high and one senior high
school which are virtually
all-white.
The enrolment in Wash
ington public schools as a
whole is 85.7 per cent Negro,
as compared with 81 per cent
in 1858. Here are some of the
changes that have taken
place in the nine years since
Washington public schools

diately after the Supreme

The South now has a two

Goldwaters on the other.
This is the message to the
Nation from ostensibly Re

They met last week end at
Charleston, S. c., as the Re
