as yet - have given the i'm
preston that Washington
wants to dominate" its al
lies who have now come Of

Rightly or wrongly, the feel
ing is widespread throughout
all political circles in France
that America would enjoy
Gen. de Gaulle's political de-
mise and would do its best to
assist lin the same manner
it had done in the case of
Batista and Trujillo." Nobody
in Paris has complained OPEN
ly about the warm reception
given in Washington to for
mer French Premier Mendes-
France, a brilliant but totally
discredited French politician.
The fact that he was received
by President Kennedy is re-
garded as an ill-diSguised
demonstration against the
French government by in
creasing Mr.. Mendes-France's
political stock.
There is a good deal of
lobbying in Germany on our
part for amendments in the
French German treaty. We
are also sympathetic towards
those who press for an early
retirement of Chancellor Ad-
enauer and his replacement
by the brilliant economist
but politically weak Vice
Chancellor Ludwig Erhart.
Similarly, Washington does
not conceal its strong distaSte
for the Spanish ruler, Gener-
alissimo Francisco Franco,
and Portugal's Premier -dicta-

by some responsible Ameri-
cans, who are being asked

is that in the past we needed

attitude suggests that they
are not going to acquiesce in
French ideas of an inward
looking Europe.
No one knows for sure what
the French attitude to the
future tariff negotiations will
be, but 1t is clear that France
does not want agriculture to
be one of the items on the
bargaining list. And there s
the rub. The United States
says it will not enter the
negotiations unless agricul-
ture is up for consideration
as well as industrial goods.
The Americans export from
81 billion to SIS billion of
farm produce to Europe each
year. Much of this produce
consists of feed grains. A
Common Market agricultural
policy that fixed the
European price for feed grains
up near the present high
German price would mean a
tariff shutting out all Ameri-
can grains from Europe,
M. Couve de Murville, the
French foreign minister, said
last week that the Six should
show "a liberal outlook" to
the Kennedy round. Does this
really mean they will
do everything possible to in
crease the volume of inter-
national trade? The next
meeting of the Com on
Markets council of ministers
on May 9Th may provide a
clue.
This will be a crucial
meeting. 1t will be the last
one before the international
talks due to start in Geneva

TONY CAMBRIDGE
Tariff Cuts and Common Market

1864 bargaining will be on
the basis of broad categories
of goods, not on a laborious
item-by-item basis. One of the
main points of the Trade Ex-
pansion Act was to give the
administration power to ne
gotiate on this across the
board" basis.
The Common Market coun-
tries will negotiate as one at
this conformation, not as
separate countries. Therefore
at their May 6 council meet
ing the six governments must
try to work out an agreed
policy - even if this policy is
only to wait until the Six
have sorted out their own
agricultural troubles. Without
such a policy, every decision
by a Common Market official
could be vetoed by one of
the member countries. France
is thus under considerable
pressure to make up its mind
where it stands.
Here is one hint that could
be dropped by the United
States and the countries of
outer Europe (that is, Bri-
tain and the other members

Association. 1t could be

Steel Issue and Public Interest

ican economy that its dis
turbances and wrangles be-
come an immediate national
interest. II necessary, a steel
union has the right to go on
strike; and If unavoidable, a
steel company has the right
to order higher prices. These
are the ultimate prerogatives
of labor and management.
But all too often the normal
debate on steel policy is en-
bittered by an appeal to these
relentless weapons which
should be invoked only as a
last resort. Then the COM
pany or the union tries to
justify its conduct by parad-
ing figures which can be
checked only with difficulty
and after a tedious delay,
In an effort to devise q
better method, 1t has been
suggested by students of the
steel industry that a public
tribunal of three members
should be appointed, with no
jurisdiction beyond the estab-
lishment and publication Of
the facts which control any
particular dispute. One mem
ber would represent the in
dustry, another the union,
and the third member would
come from the Department
of Labor. In no sense would
this be compulsory arbitra-
ton since the tribunal would
have no power to negotiate
the issues or impose a settle
ment or identify the party
blocking an agreement.
There would be only
two obligations under this
arrangement. Neither the in
dustry nor the union could
take independent action
without giving its reasons to
the tribunal; and the tribun-
al in turn. if no agreement
could then be reached, would
publish the facts on which
the public could make its
own judgment. This orderly
procedure. if it can be estab-
lished, seems infinitely pre-
ferable to the shocks and
stratagems which now con-
troll the history of steel
negotiations. D.

MAX FRIEDMAN

There is no similarity
between the price increase
ordered by Wheeling Steel
Corp. and the increases
which produced the steel cri-
sis last year. These diff
ferences explain the more
subdued role of the White
House in the new situation.
A year ago the steel in
dustry and the steelworkers
union engaged in long ne
gotiations partly aimed at
preventing a settlement that
would provoke a general rise
in prices and the costs of
production. The final result
of these negotiations was less
clear to the industry than it
was to the union. There was
not the smallest doubt on the
unions part that 1t had ac-
cepted a contract which fell
short of many of its demands.
1t justified this restraint as
a contribution to industrial
peace and as a barrier
against initiation.
Although there was no legal
compulsion behind its as
sumption, the union believed
that its restraint on wages
would be matched by a sim
liar restraint on prices. That
certainly was the interprets-
ton placed on the settle
ment by the White House.
Many officials of the steel
industry disagreed. They fol-
lowed the lead of Roger
Blough Of United States
Steel Corp. which had pro-
claimed a price increase. The
abrupt way in which this de-
ciSion was brought to the at
tention of the White House
deepened the determination
of President Kennedy to as
sert the public's interest in
this dispute. The events that
followed his challenge to Mr..
Blough are too vivid and ia
miliar to need any recapitu-
lation now.

ROME. - Were the United
States to withdraw its forces
from Europe or shrug off its
present commitments and
policy of apparent firmness,
most of our European allies
would be concerned and dis
tressed. But nobody would
show anger, since Europe has
learned to live with the threat
from the East. Moreover, it
recognizes Americas right to
do whatever is best for its
people.
Yet, one can detect real
anger at our present policies
which responsible and know
ing political figures describe
as an immixture in their in
ternal affairs. Our actions
indicate a desire to down.
grade the so-called conserva-
tive governments in Europe
and a desire to favor those
with left-of-center or welfare
trends.
Our hostility toward the
French government headed
by Gen. Charles de Gaulle is
obvious to the naked eye. The
French head of state has been
rambunctious and difficult,
say WaShington's spokesmen.
He has had the temerity to
interfere with what is de-
scribed as the grand design"
OF President Kennedy and his
advisers concerning the
future political and economic
shape of Western Europe. He
has defied Washington's
plans not to permit anybody
else, save our British ally, to
delve into the mysteries of
nuclear power, and has in
sisted that France become the
leader of a European bloc in
the making.
Whether we intend to have
the dominant voice in such
an organization is question:
