U.S.. Policies in Africa
Criticized as Negative

The United States has an
essentially negative" policy
toward southern Africa, a
Georgetown University profess
sor said yesterday.
American policy in Africa
reflects the belief that the
United States has only limited
particular interests in Africa
and that its general interest
consists of minimizing conflicts
and reconciling conflicting par
ties, declared Victor Ferkiss
professor in the Walsh School
of Foreign Service at George
town.
Mr.. FerkiSs made his re-
marks in q paper delivered al
an afternoon session of the
fourth annual international
conference of the American
Society Of African cultures al
Howard University.
American African policy il
"a search for means Of avoid.
ing the necessity for making
choices which will ALLEVIATE sig.
nificant elements in African
life" Mr.. FerkiSs told the con.
ference.
This policy is predicated OF
the belief that the real inter,
ests Of no major elements il
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1963-04-14

Spouse to initiatives outside
American control" Mr.. Ferkiss
said.
There seems to be a desire on
the part of United States pol
icymakers, he added ito let
sleeping dogs lie" for fear that
the American business COM
munity if brought into the pic
ture, would side openly with the
nationalist government.
"A more active American
policy against apartheid also
might increase racial tensions
in the United States" he said.
ut almost certainly would pre-
cipitate a major struggle be-
tween the executive branch and
powerful elements in Congress
and the press, beside which the
controversy over United States
Congo policy would seem pal
try.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1963-04-14

African politics are incompati-
BILE with those of the United
and that the United
States should attempt to re-
main on friendly terms with
ALL" Mr.. Ferkiss said.
Because Of this premise, Mr..
FerkiSS said, "the United
States has shifted its position
on particular issues only when
1t became obvious that its ex-
isting policy created more en-
nifty on the part Of one party
to a conflict than it created
sympathy on the part Of an
other"
While the United States has
moved gradually in the direc-
ton Of supporting the ultimate
aim Of the African nationalists
1t has "steadfastly opposed
using the United Nations as q
lever to force change in this
direction. he said.
Indeed, it must be kept ir
mind that in many case:
United States attitudes have
caused the watering down o.
proposals in order to assure
United States support" he said
Our present policy is almost
certain to be continued as il
the past. changing only in re.

YOUR MONEYS WORTH
Budget Will Pass
500 Billion Mark

In January President Ken
nedy will make history by sub
hitting to Congress the first
500 billion-plus budget IN the
almost two centuries that the
United States has been a Ma
ton. Even at the peak of
World War II spending, tn e
budget didn't reach this mile
stone.
At the same time the Presi-
dent will project another
budget deficit-the fourth in
q row since he entered the
White House, the 18th in the
"a years since Herbert Hoover"
era. This deficit will be la
beled-unofficially at least-a
constructive deficit" and it
probably will be estimated at
over SO billion.
There's not a chance that
the budget for the year to be-
gin next summer can be held
under 500 billion. Despite all
the talk about major spending
cuts, real efforts to put a lid
on outgo and some progress
In this direction, spending this
current year is running around
SO billion. Additional billions of
spending already are built into
the next budget-for interest
on the rising national debt, for
defense, for space exploration
Nor is there a chance that
another deficit can be avoided
It's certain with a tax cut and
it's certain without one. So far
however, Mr.. Kennedy has
managed to hold his deficits
under the peacetime record OF
1924 billion chalked up in the
Eisenhower year of 1859. ..
Heart of Matter
The heart Of the matter isn't
the total of the budget, though
If Federal Government income
were bigger than outgo and the
budget was in the black, much
Of the fuss about the impact
Of a budget topping 500 bill
lion would disappear overnight.
Actually, when the risin g
budget is placed in the per-
spective of our growing econ
omy, its size" shrinks. AS a
percentage of our gross ma
tional product. the budget has
remained a bit over 16 per cent
for 10 years.
The heart of the matter is
the deficit-year after year of
red ink. This explains the Ken
nedy administrations deter
mination to defend the next
deficit as constructive" an d
1t will make this defense with
increasing urgency as the
countdown begins on the Sill
