Dispute, Caused by Common Markets
Discrimination, Called Serious Matter

before Western Europe APP
piled an agreed farm policy.
No one could have foreseen
that the Common Market
would have agreed so soon on
poultry and would have set
such a bad precedent. For
If the same principle is ex-
tended to American cereals,
the annual loss In exports
may be at least $3.50 million.
Work has just begun ON an
international cereals agree
ment for both wheat and
coarse grains. The shadow of
the poultry dispute has al
ready fallen over these early
talks.
It is no exaggeration to
say that all American agri-
culture has an interest in
the outcome Of this appar-
emily trivial dispute. So, in
deed, has every branch Of
the American economy. For
a severe shrinkage in farm
exports to Europe would
cause new burdens on our
balance of payments. The
stability Of the dollar, in the
long term, may be involved
in the fate Of these chickens.
Far worse than the reluct-
ance of American opinion to
place the poultry dispute in
a broad context has been
the utter failure of European
opinion to understand its
larger economic and political
meaning. Architects of the
Common Market like Jean
Monnet of France have de-
plored this blindness. But
their criticism has not pre-
vailed. There are farm lob
bies in Europe as well as in
America, and their political
strength remains immune as
yet to the logic of economics.
One particularly disturbing
development of recent weeks
has been the complete fail
ure of the economic commits
sion to adjust policies to
meet new American pro-
poSals. The Europeans listen
but they frequently have no
mandate to negotiate. The
discussions over poultry have
revealed unexpected weakness
in the machinery of consul

MAX FREEDMAN

In almost every sense the
fuss over our chicken exports
to Western Europe looks like
a misfortune. 1t is so easy
to ridicule the whole busi-
ness. Here we are, talking
about an economic partner
ship with the Common
Market. and suddenly a quar-
rel over chickens darkens our
purpose. The scale Of values
seems almost comically
wrong. But things are not
always what they seem.
We can rest assured that
MFR. Herter, as President
Kennedy's chief trade nego-
tiator, would never have
made a test case out of
chickens. The United States
had no choice in the matter.
The issue was not forced
by Mr.. Herter or the State
Department or Senator Full
bright or any other Senator
from the % States interested
in these chicken exports. The
Common Market created the
problem. 1t refused to bulge,
even though the United
States tried for many months
to avoid a public challenge.
That is the origin of the
present trouble.
The Common Market has
nearly tripled its charges on
American chickens. They
have risen from Az cents to
Is cents a pound. No trade
can flourish under this dis
elimination. Exports have
fallen from about $50 mil
lon to about SIS million. In
another year, under these
conditions, the trade will be
dead.
The American poultry in
dustry does not want a priv
ileged or protected position
in western Europe. It expects
the Common Market to en-
courage the production Of
more chickens. But there is
a vast difference between
fair competition and arbi-
trary and invidious discrim-
nation.
Under the terms of the
Treaty of Rome which Gre
ated the Common Market, it
was reasonable to expect that
seven or 10 years would pass

which, in my view, should be
discussed by the big powers and
the necessary steps which
should be taken without their
losing any strategic, political
or theological positions.
II feel that the atmosphere
will be congenial for the
presentation of these views" ne

Asked what they would be
he replied:
II don't want to reveal my

ton Of the Importance of thu

Mr.. Thant said he had NJ
doubt that the United Nations
would play a significant part
mot only in respect to the test
ban agreements but in the
overall discussion of general
and complete disarmament"
Mr.. Thant is scheduled tc
leave London tomorrow and to
return here next Wednesday.

Military Trial
Hung Jury
Sanctioned

The United States Court of
Military Appeals ruled yester-
day that a military court mar
tial can be as hopelessly dead
locked as a hung jury"
The court was considering
an appeal based on the state
ment of a law officer who dur
ing a court martial said,
There is no such thing as a
hung jury in the military" But
the court for the first time
wrote that failure of members
Of the court martial to agree
possibly could cause a mistrial.
The court was considering
the case of Airman Sd class
Lawrence Jones, 10, Of Cam
den, N. j. He had been found
guilty Of housebreaking and
larceny and had received a bad
conduct discharge, two months
at hard labor and reduction
In grade.
The law officer, who acts in
a capacity similar to that of
a Judge in civilian practice,
told the members that It was
their duty to continue their
deliberations as to the punish
ment for Airman Jones until
they were in agreement.
Although the code does not
spell out what the court mar
tial members should do when
they cannot agree on punish
ment, officials traditionally
have stated that the members
must continue celebrating I'M
til they agree.
But Associate Judge Paul
Kilday wrote: ITO hold that
the court members must agree
or be considered as having
failed to discharge their duty
Is repugnant TO the basic phil
osophy on which this country
is established-the right Of free
men to disagree without being
penali5ed therefor" The court
vacated the airman's sentence
and said that in future cases
where an opinion cannot be
reached on the form Of punish
ment. the matter should be re-
ferred to q new court martial
tribunal.
