of cheers still rings in the air, we
are cautioned not to be too opti-
mistic. At his press conference,
President Kennedy told the nation
what the test-ban treaty would not
do. 1t will not, he said, mean an
end to the threat of nuclear war.
1t will not reduce nuclear stock
piles; it will not halt the produc-
ton of nuclear weapons; it will not
restrict their use in time of war.
1t will not resolve all conflicts, or
cause the Communists to forego
their ambitions. or eliminate the
dangers of war" London, too, sig
nails a word of caution against eX-
pecting too much from the treaty.
Its Foreign Office stated that the
test-ban treaty will make no diff
ference at all in the relationship be-
tween Britain and East Germany"
U. S. News and World Report, in
its current issue. says that the next
thing KhruShcheV wants from the
United States is a ''nonaggression
treaty freezing Soviet grip on East
Europe, including Berlin" 1t calls
attention to the fact that Soviet
Russia has a special fondness for
nonaggression pacts, that it has
gone into these treaties in a big
way - with Poland, Finland, Ru-
mania, the Baltic States, among
others-and has violated nearly
every one. The tip-off to Soviet
reasoning on nonaggression pacts
was unwittingly revealed by Maxim
Litvinov, Soviet Foreign Minister
80 years ago, when he said: "The
most avowedly aggressive state
may conclude pacts of nonaggres-
sion with some states in order to
free its hands and secure its rear
and flanks for an attack on other
states.
President Kennedy, in his ad-
dress to the nation on July 26, said
that nations cannot afford in these
matters to rely simply on the good
faith of their adversaries." Even
though we hopefully ratify the
treaty, we will not lose sight of
the fact that Khrushchev holds as
his goal the complete overtaking
If the world by the Communist sys-
TEN. The Sovicts smile, but their
plan to conquer us remains the
same. The Washington Evening
Star, in an editorial of July 20,
called attention to the fact that
during the final test-ban negotia-
tions, Khrushchev joined in dec
laration calling for the liberation
of South Korea from the United
States "imperialists."
The treaty, referred to the Sem
ate for ratification, will be taken
up by the Foreign Relations Com
mittee and the Armed Services
Committee, of which am men,
Der. We will hold hearings and eX-
anime all evidence and all the
opinions which are submitted, and
will then make up our minds as to
what our action should be.

lFrom Wall Street JournaD

The plight of Americas ship
builders illustrates what can hap
pen when an industry comes IN
der the Governments wing. Years
Q the industry began losing out
to lower-cost foreign competitors.
So the Government, citing needs
of national defense, rushed to take
it in tow with protective subsi-
dies.
But, as the new Lloy's Regis
ter shows, the shipbuilders' trou-
bles, if anything, have increased.
The U. S. industry has no export
market; its minuscle $40 share
of world merchant ship construc-
ton is domestic. And that share
would be even smaller were it not
for the Federal subsidies which
help offset the American ship
builders higher prices.
What to do now? The only So
luton the industry can see is for
the Government to provide still
bigger and broader subsidies. Yet
it seems likely the subsidies them
selves have had much to do with
the industry'S decline.
Take the matter of high wage
costs and rigid work rules that
the shipbuilders complain about.
It's true that union pressures have
been great in this industry, as in
others. But in this industry both
unions and management have
known that higher wage costs will

to some extent be soaked up by
the subsidy cushion; this can hard
ly help having an influence on
bargaining.
The subsidies have other in
fluences, too. They inevitably
lessen the industry's incentive to
seek new ways to cut costs and

improve products - and thus be-
come more competitive. 1t is hard
ly surprising that some shipping
line officials say the difference be-
tween u. S.-built ships and those
built abroad is often more than
mere price.
The Japanese build ships "like
we make cars in Detroit" COM
ments an American shipping Of
fetal in Japan. "You can't buy a
better hull anywhere in the world,
and yet the japanese build them
faster than anyone else" The Jap
anese shipbuilders, not incidental
ly, have 20% of the world ship
building market, nearly six times
Americas share.
There's no easy way out for
Americas shipbuilders, any more
than there is for the farmers or
anyone else who gets involved in
Federal subsidies. When any group
relaxes in the warm waters Of
Federal protection, it may at first
feel pretty comfortable. But be-
fore long it's likely to find itself

5000 Billion Milestone

1t has not been the big force In our eco
nomy's performance this year.
An obvious question at this point is
$50 what's wrong?" Isn't a 800 billion
output Sizzling" enough? The answer is
that even a 500 billion growth in three
years is below our potential and it has
not been enough to solve our problems
of surplus manpower and surplus pro-
duction capacity.
For " consecutive months, our job
less rate has stuck at 5 per cent or
above. Right now it's at an overall
rate Of 5h per cent and the jobleSs rate
among teen-agers is at 1874 per cent.
What's more, we face explosive prob
lens as young workers pour into the
labor force at the fastest pace ever and
older workers are displaced by automa-
ton at the fastest pace ever.
Our factories are operating at IS per
cent of capacity, higher than at this
tine in 1862, but this is still 7 points be-
low the comfortable, profitable rate Of
capacity for U. S. industry.
After-tax corporation profits are rum
ming at an annual rate of 1888 billion,
up 40 per cent from the recession low.
But this is well below the $50 billion
of after-tax profits that corporations
would be making if our economy were
operating at normal capacity.
Just attaining a new record isn't

fies is that we are not slipping back
into a recession.
The Presidents chief economic adviser,
DR.. Walter Heller, puts the question in
a form which implies the answer: "Are
we growing fast enough to make full use
of our growing brain and muscle, our
growing productivity and labor force?"
Despite the milestone Of $500 billion

With a tax cut, the U. S. economy
will be turning out goods and services at
an annual rate of $608 billion in the
first quarter of 1864 and at a rate Of
$500 billion in the second quarter, Trea-
sny Secretary Dillon predicted in a
matter -of-fact presentation to a House
committee the other day. Without a tax
cut. he said our economy would grow
to q size of only $6O3 billion early next
year and to only $6O8.5 billion by mid
year.
These unusually precise projections
from so high an administration official
were duly reported by the press after
Dillon testified - and that has been all.
That's all? To dismiss with a news
print shrug an official forecast that the
United States will be sailing past an
historic economic milestone in just go
to 80 days from now?
This is too complacent an attitude
for me. When w reach a gross national
product of $500 billion, we will have
touched a milestone, achieved a size no
other nation ever has approached. To put
this in perspective:
1t means that in just the past three
years, we will have added $1OO billion
to u spending on goods and services.
When the Kennedy Administration came
into office at the bottom of the last re-
cession il early 1861, our GIMP was
$500 billion. Now, at the start of his
fourth year as President, it will be top.
ping $500 billion.
1t means that this economic advance,
already in its 33rd month, is a cinch
to become the second longest peacetime
expansion in over a century. If the tax
reduction spurs business as anticipated,
this rise well may live through 1864, chal-
lenge the 50-month advance of 1887,
for the record of the longest peacetime
expansion in 10 years of our history.
II means that this time private enter
prise is taking over the job of squirting
our growth, for the expansion in recent
months has been fed not by skyrocket-
ing federal government spending but by
steady, solid increases in private business
and consumer spending. Buoyed by rec
ord personal incomes Of more than $466
billion a year, consumers have been hik-
ing their buying month after m !.
Buoyed by peak profits and tax incen-
tives, businessmen also have been hik-
ing their spending on new plants and
equipment to a level now 8 per cent
above that of a year ago. Federal gov.
eminent spending hasn't decreased and
thus been a brake on our economy, but

What happened in Hartford is
that local Republicans finally
got around to throwing the old
book away. The Republican
town chairman, Patrick DePas-
quale, failed to put together a
full slate for the nine-member
city council, which is nominally
chosen on a non-partiSan basis.
Deputy Registrar Howard Kauf-
man sprang into action us
eight weeks before the election
by forming something called the
new COP" This group chose
a number Of candidates to run
along with Miss Betty Knox, the
only "old G~OP''member of the
council.
After the primaries had been
run off, and the list had been
trimmed to the eighteen candi-
dates who, by law, are permit
ted to 60 on the final ballot,
the Connecticut Republican Cit
itzenS Committee brought
new apparatus, modelled on the
CLOS old COPE, to be ar On the
situation. Fifty volunteer work
ers, many Of them recruited
from small towns outside of
Hartford such as Glastonbury,
Simsbury, South Windsor, Farm
ington, and West CRANKY, put in
nearly five hundred hours Of
precinct work for the ''new COP
slate" and the old COP candi-
dates too.The fact that many
Of the volunteers had no vote
in Hartford did not dampen any
body'S enthusiasm.
Where the new Citizens Com
mittee did not lend a hand the
Republicans in Connecticut gen.
orally Jared badly. They lost in
the big cities of New Haven,
Meriden, and Waterbury. The
help the Citizens Committee gave
to the Republican candidate for
Mayor in New Haven was limit
ed to making a prediction sur
vey. In Meriden, the Repub-
lican incumbent, Mayor HouSt-
on, had originally opposed the
formation Of the Citizens COM
mittee on the ground that John
Lupton, its organizer, was a
Goldwater man. Mayor HOuSt-
on did not ask for help, and
he lost.
The moral of all this would
seem to be: work pays off,
whether it is done by Goldwater
men or not.
