case. For. while Bethlehem
paid q low rate Of dividends,
the total amounted to $l05,-
$4,000, or more than was
earned for the year.
So there was nothing to put
into surplus. In fact, surplus
of other years had to be used
for dividends. and nothing
was available out Of 1862
earnings for new plant and
equipment. for which a total
of $192,83l 900 was expended
in 1862. The sum of $l55, 1885,
900 was available from de-
probation allowance, but
there was still a gap Of $37,-
365,000 in capital expendi-
lures that had to be borrowed
or taken from funds accu-
mulated in previous years.
Yet there Is a faith on the
part of the American in
vestor that somehow the steel
companies will make better
earnings in future years. So,
based on a belief that COM
munism is not just around
the corner and that economic
sense will prevail in Wash
ington - especially in Con-
gress - the steel companies
have gone ahead with a capi-
tal.expenditure program Of
81 billion every year for the
last three years, and are max
ing selective price increases
now so as to earn a profit to
cover in part the wage in
creases granted over the last
five years.
Profits are essential. In
creased wage costs can be
destructive when they wipe
out profits or reduce them to
the point where investors
hesitate to invest their money
in an enterprise. Economic
facts like these. however, are
not taught In most Of the
schools of journalism or in
the colleges where the favor
ite textbooks are those writ
ten by some Of the econom-
lists who become presidential
advisers. They hold that de
ficit spending" by the Gov
ernment is sound finance and,
by inference, that private
companies can operate on the
same theory.

Exploding That JFK-LBJ Fiction

Those who have assumed
from the outset that these
two men must inevitably
clash" are amateur skeptics
misled by the stereotypes of
political life-much, say, as
people with no personal ex-
perience Of military intelli-
gence work think it to be
one long tale of trench
coated bloodletting in dark
ened alleys involving enor-
mously beguiling blonds from
Budapest.
Rightly estimating Mr..
Kennedy and Mr.. Johnson as
tough, determined and am
bilious men, they supposed
such men could never "get
along" What they did not
understand is that Mr.. Ken
nedy and Mr.. Johnson are OF
a wry professional political
breed which has no time for
schoolboy quarrels. This is
not because either is above
quarreling as such but simply
because, apart from good
mutual personal feelings,
each knows that from the
other he draws some indis-
pensable strength in a neces-
sarily common enterprise.

DAVID LAWRENCE

: Much has been said about
the difference between So
called liberals" and "con-
servatives." Perhaps the
simplest definition Is that the
latter have a profound re-
spect for the economic facts
Of life, usually obtained
through actual experience,
while the former cling to the
Illusion that there is some
magic way by which two and
two can make five.
A most interesting ex-
ample of the value of eco
nomic facts is to be found
in a table of figures printed
on the financial page of the
New York Herald Tribune
on Tuesday of this week. This
gives the actual capital ex-
penditures and depreciation
allowances of the is largest
steel companies and con-
trasts them with the divi-
dends and the net income of
the same companies in 1862.
{ II capitalism in the United
States is to survive, and If
Nikita Khrushchev's pro-
phecy that our grandchil-
dren will live under COM
munism is to be proved
wrong, then the four cate
rgories Of figures in that
table constitute the most es-
'sential piece of information
that has been furnished in
the perennial controversy
about prices and wages.
This ought to be read and
studied, particularly by those
members Of Congress who, at
the behest Of the White
House, start investigations
designed to persecute and
'intimidate business men who
venture to raise prices,
through no such scrutiny
occurs when labor unions
raise wages.
c For what does the table
show? First of all, there is
sthe plight Of the smaller
scompany-like Lukens Steel
which has just raised its
prices on selective items of
steel. The net income of
Eukens for 1862 was $3,273,-

continuously, consecutively,
notably and fully into the
confidence of the President
on all high policy as no other
second man - not excluding
Richard Nixon in the Eisen-
hover administration - has
ever been.
Mr.. johnson, a realist
from way back. from the
the start needed nobody to
inform him, after some rs
years in Government, that a
President was President and
a Vice President was only a
Vice President. He is, there
fore. not stunned, not griev-
ing, not sulking, that he is,
after all, only Vice President.
There are, of course, days
when he misses his old posi-
ton of hardly comparable
power, the time when as ma
jority leader of the Senate
in a Democratic Congress he
held an actual influence in
side Government hardly lower
than that Of President Eisen-
hover - and sometimes ac-
tually higher. There is. how
ever. no day when he regrets
or SighS over the decision
which put him second to Mr..
Kennedy on the Democratic
ticket in 1860.
In the first place, Mr..
johnson is a loyal profess
sional politician whose CEN
trail interest, in the end, is
the success Of his party. In
the second place, if the Vice
Presidency today is not what
the majority leadership once
was, 1t is also not by a hun
dred miles that mere fifth
wheel so many have pictured
it to be. In the third place,
Vice President Johnson likes
President Kennedy as a man
and trusts him as a politi-
clan. The same is true the
other way round.

taken as a deliberate decision
by the United States to take
part in the arms race Of the
Middle East. These policies
may one day become newt
able. If so, they will be ap-
piled without hesitation and
without weakness. But q mar
gin Of choice is still open.
The chance to influence un-
folding events in the direc-
ton Of peace and concilia-
ton still awaits American
policy. 1t would be tragic
folly to cast aside this free
dom Of American initiative
in the belief that events have
already grown so grim that
nothing but desperate reme-
dies will suffice.
There is broad agreement
among American policy
makers on this current policy
Of watchful waiting. The
important differences occur
when officials weigh plans
for the long future.
Subject to later refine
ments, one tentative proposal,
now in the early stages Of
discussion, seems worthy Of
special emphasis. II calls for
an American guarantee. on
abealutely equal terms, to
both Israel and all the Arab
states. The guarantee would
be limited 10 tsss Arab-Israeli
quarrel. Under this qualifica-
tion. the United States would
refuse to recognize any
change in the existing situa-
tion brought about by armed
force. whether by conven-
tional means or by new
weapons. In addition, Israel
or any Arab country, under
attack or having reason to
fear an early attack, would
have the right to turn to the
United States for immediate
help to redress the dangerous
military situation.

Johnson Called Presidents Confidont,

WILLIAM S. WHITE

When Congress is in recess
and there is no new foreign
crisis, the two principal
subjects Of conversation in
Washington are the weather
and the exact relationship
between President John F.
Kennedy and Vice President
Lyndon B. johnson.
The one. the weather. is
for the moment of a rare,
an improbable and an in
disputable excellence. Thus,
discussion has perforce re-
turned to the other, the
matter Of how JFK feels
about LBJ, and vice versa.
1t is a perennial revival Of
Topic B, if, perhaps, partly
stimulated this time by the
fact that of late Mr., Johnson
has given a few cautious in
terviews, a thing which nor
mally he altogether shuns.
What is really arresting,
however, is not the precise
situation as between tn e
President and Vice President.
Rather, it is the unexampled
and persistent interest Of
politicians and commentators
in that situation. Never be-
fore have so many worried
so much about such a ques-
tion-perhaps because it is
so plainly impossible here
nationally to rub UP one of
these "feuds" for which this
town has so genuine a lust.
In order to do his part to
separate gossip from reality,
this columnist offers a re-
port on just what the rela-
tionship is.
The fiction is that the Vice
President feels Stunned. dis
regarded, wholly outshone
by "the Kennedys." sadly

900, but. out Of this, 81, ,240,-
900 had to be paid in divi-
dends-which, like profits"
seems to be an ugly word,
though dividends are really a
wage payment for the use Of
invested money. People will
never furnish new capital to
q company that doesn't pay
back what it has borrowed or
whose stock diminishes in
value when earning capacity
deteriorates and dividends
grow less and less.
Every company has to fig
ure out how much it can pay
to the investors each year. If
it horrows from banks, it
must also give some assur-
ance as to when repayment
of loans will be made. Also,
while companies may get a
tax deduction for all expenses
incurred in the operations Of
a business, capital expendi-
lures are by no means COW
cred to the same extent. AS
plant wears out there are
some deductions for depre-
citation, but this doesn't pay
for the new cost of replacing
a factory or old equipment.
Now, Lukens Steel in 1862
spent $6,6l1.000 for plant
and equipment, but its net
'profit-after paying 81, ,240.-
600 in dividends-was about
$2,033, 900. This is the sum
that has to be put into sur
plus or used to pay off cap
ital borrowed. The deprecia-
ton allowance of $3,918,000
isn't enough to cover all out
lays for plant and equipment.
Is the situation any differ
ent with a larger company?
The case of Bethlehem Steel
Corp. is even more discour-
aging. Thus, the net income
in 1862, after paying operat-
ling expenses, was $88,677. 900.
This seems like a lot of
money and usually figures
like these get headlines as
big profits" But the word
"big" applies only to the size
of the company and not to
the economic facts Of the

orable commitments which 1t
cannot renounce. The State
Department is fully aware
of President Nasser's growing
power as the spokesman for
Arab unity. But it cannot re-
treat from Americas links
with Jordan and Saudi
Arabia. Thus, President Mas
ser win be disappointed If
he expects open or unqual-
flied American support for
his leadership Of the Arab
community. The divisions in
the Middle East, and the
realities o. world power, unite
to prevent such a clear policy
from being applied.
The commitments with re-
spect to Israel are different,
but they are equally strong
and honorable. The obliga-
ton to support Israel has
been a constant element in
American policy. 1t is fair to
say that it Is a national OBJ
legation that will be honored,
regardless of the fortunes Of
political warfare. That is as
true today as it ever has
been.
What do these considera-
tions signify in terms Of
American policy? For the i'm
mediate future, the answer
is clear. The State Depart
ment has no convincing evi-
dence as yet that anything
has happened in the rearma-
ment Of Egypt to justify the
somber conclusion that the
military balance has been
altered to the peril of Israel.
Nor has anything yet hap

The United States must
begin to think Of a new policy
for the Middle East. 1t is
being driven to this course
by three separate but re-
lated events. The federation
linking Egypt with Syria and
: Iraq has changed the out
look for the Arab world.
Egypt's search for rockets
and missiles has reminded
the world that old conflicts
still Quiver restleSsly despite
years of deceptive peace.
Meanwhile. Israel has begun
a campaign for arms and
new security guarantees.
Confronted with these
developments, the first re-
sponse Of the State Depart
ment has been to play for
time during which 1t can
study the situation. This de-
cision. though far from he
roic, Is very wise. For the
Middle East is piled high
with enigmas and dangers
that forbid impromptu re-
medies. Nothing is easier
than to adopt a policy that
will satisfy Israel or the
Arab states. The problem
that faces the United States
cannot be solved on these
easy terms. 1t must devise a
policy that will protect the
basic interests Of the United
States without doing any
thing to upset the precarious
balance in the Middle East
or taking sides in the political
vendetta that disturbs the
} area.

in weighing this American
dilemma, is that the United
States must conduct its policy
