The United States is partly responsible for and has a great concern in what appears to be a new degree of cohesion among the heads of gov ernment of Great Britain, West Germany, and France. Chancellor Adenauer and President de Gaulle conferred in Paris on the last week end of July and then Adenauer invited Prime Minister Macmillan for the forthcoming conference in Bonn. After the Paris discussions, the Christian Democratic party press service in Bonn, which reflects the Adenauer government's position with exactness, stated: "They (President de Gaulle and Chancellor Adenauer) have . . . made known their intention of not leaving to the United States alone the entire burden of initiative in dealing with the powerful and dangerous Soviet Union. WITHOUT flirting with a "third force" posi- "T tion, Adenauer and De Gaulle obviously want a greater say in Western councils and they are going to try to convince Macmillan that he should support them. The timing of the discussions is a reflection of the great distress throughout Western Europe at the foreign policy "paralysis" that grips the United States every four Moreover,, the British Yorkshire Post reports that Adenauer is known to secret source, which he believes to be reliable, in dicating that the Russians are likely to launch a new phase of the war of Communist East Germany on Aug. 1 the 15th anniversary of the signing of the Potsdam agreement by the four World War II victors warned that it would not allow the traffic arteries to West Berlin to be "mis-used" by the Western Allied powers. A BONN spokesman nauer-De Gaulle talks that the tvo "had the haste but at an appropriate time a reform of the Auanuc organization woum serve a useiui pur pose." There was talk also of a new "body" to align the foreign policies of Western European nations. De Gaulle has long wanted a greater voice in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization director ate. Adenauer, though promoting an ever firmer understanding with De Gaulle, does not want France to maintain nuclear weapons. These con siderations lead the conservative Daily Express of London to speculate that Adenauer will pres sure Macmillan to give Britain's H-bomb stocks to NATO, encouraging De Gaulle to forego his. THE economic phase of the three-way talks 1 Macmillan is expected to visit the French capital next month finds the British Prime Minister on something of a stocky wicket. Britain is the organizer and principal backer of the Euro pean Free Trade Association or Outer Seven. Jealous of its Commonwealth ties, Britain stayed out of the European Common Market, or Inner six, tor another good reason : Britain was unwilling to sacrifice a measure of sovereignty or European influence to the central trade bloc. Now De Gaulle is talkinp; about a permanent secretariat for the Inner Six in Paris, while Ade nauer cherishes closer political integration for the nations or the Six. So at Bonn Macmillan may find himself literally betwixt the Six and the Seven; either he accepts increasingly closer economic and political ties with Geimany and France, or Britain will be increasingly isolated from Western Europe. E.R.R. Central African Turmoil Riots in Southern Rhodesia, coming at a time when violence in the new Republic of Congo and fear of new Mau Mau violence in Kenya have riveted world attention on Central Africa, have led a white settler government to take strong de fensive measures. . The disturbances near Salisbury and the sub sequent riots around Bulawayo were in protest against the arrest of three leaders of the Nation al Democratic party, which is demanding greater rights for black Africans. The membership of the NDP has climbed sharply in recent months, draw ing recruits from African leaders who formerly worked with the liberal, bi-racial Central African party. THE disturbances in Southern Rhodesia came of n.,i!n,.i u.....,,..,:.. i: .u r..:i ai a jcnium iv emutu i rteoiiij; nine ui me ish; they coincided with the opening in London of a Nyasaland constitutional conference. South ern Rhodesia, a self-governing British colony since 1922, is linked in the Commonwealth scheme of things with two British protectorates, Northern Rhodesia and Nyasaland, in the Cen tral African Federation. The framework of the federation government is already in place; the Prime Minister is Sir Roy Welensky. On paper the federation makes sense. OOWEVER, African nationalists suspect the white-dominated federal government. They fear independence for the confederation re peatedly urged by Welensky on the ground that European settlers would seek to solidify and per petuate the control they now exercise over the government and the lives of the Africans. The British press, particularly since Belgium's colonial difficulties erupted, like?o point to the "natural pace at which the growth of self-government should proceed." So far the British pace in Central Africa appears unhi?rried, despite the urgings of the ruling white minority.

Drummond (Walter Lippman is on vacation. from Washington in his absence.) Washington Unintention ally Premier Khrushchev has focused the attention of the entire Western hemisphere upon the central anxiety of all the American republics over what is happening to the Castro regime in Cuba. He did it by blasting the Monroe Doctrine as outdated and meaningless. Khrushchev apparently has thought that the Monroe Doc trine was a United States de- vice to impose the United States' will upon Latin Amer ica and that by attacking it he would undercut the U.S and make friends for himself in Latin America. The fact is that Mr. K. is being quite a help. His tirade is backfiring. It is not the Monroe Doctrine which is out of date or out of favor. It is Khrushchev's views of the Monroe Doctrine which are out of date. ' 1 WAT'S why his effort to hurv the Monroe Doctrine are having a different effect than he expected. There's good reason. The Monroe Doctrine is not a uni lateral United States fiat against foreign intervention In the Western hemisphere. It used lo be. It isn't any long er. It is a multilateral com mitment by all the Western hemisphere nations to join in common defense against any outside intervention in the Western hcimsphcrc. Thus, in attacking the Mon roe Doctrine, a collective bul wark against outside inter vention, the Soviet Premier is suggesting to the Organiza tion of American Slates that the Western hemisphere ought lo be open to outside intervention. rpHIS latest Khrushchev A blast 2ives most Latin- American leaders, at least those outside Cuba, cold shud ders. By condemning the prin ciple of non-intervention, im bedded in the revised Monroe Doctrine, and written into the charter of the Organization of American States, Khrushchev is to them advocating the right of Soviet intervention. This is the last thing they want. And Mr. K., by trying lo spread fear of the United States in Latin America, has increased Latin' American fears of the Soviet Union. Further, the Kremlin at tack on the Monroe Doctrine conies at the very time when the Castro regime is provid ing the answer to what until recently has been this unre solved question: Is Castro Try and -By BENNETT CERF- DEFINITELY BOUND for big things in the world of finance is the tireless youth who spent an entire week going from store to store in midtown Manhattan changing a dollar bill into two half dollars, the half dollars into four quarters, the quar ters into ten dime,s, the ten dimes into twenty nickels, and the nickels into a hundred pennies.

Distributed by Ktnf Features Syndicate Menace Reports Roscoe Drummond reports simply conducting a reckless revoltuion that may only wreck the Cuban nation or is he being led into fanning ha tred and fear of the United States in order to turn Cuba into a Communist satellite? The reason the Western hemisphere Foreign Ministers are meeting twice this month, first in Washington and later in Lima, is that the evidence is mounting that Cuba is fall ing steadily into the hands of Communists whose first loyal ty is to Moscow or to Peking or to both. CASTRO promised free elec tions and has refused to hold them. Castro promised a free press and has outlawed all in dependent newspapers. Castro promised the right of habeas corpus and has sus pended it. Castro promised land to the landless farmers and instead has put them in communes patterned after the Red Chi nese. Today the Cuban nation is a full-scale dictatorship infil trated by Communists and dominated by secret police. rpHE consensus of every ob X ipntiv. account coming frnm rcDorters who have been in Havana, as Thomas Wolfe summed up in his series for the "Washington Post" is: Thnt Pnha is now denend- ent upon Communist coun tries economically. That Castro is now depend ent upon the Cuban Commu nist party politically.

A of the Medford Mail Tribune, whose guest editorial appear ed in the Eugene Register- Guard, had better brush up on his political philosophies. It is the liberal, not the conserva tive, wno believes that gov ernment rights are superior to human rights. Although the "liberal" is the last to ad mit it, the facts are that "lib eralism" is a disease that can be easily identified, through syndrome. It is simply social ism without Marx. William F. Buckley, in his new book Up from Liberalism," con clude that "liberals" are intel lectually bankrupt since their denial of principles makes any consistent philosophy im possible. Since E. A. is enamoured with this socialism, let us con sult a writing of the Rev. Francis E. Mahaffey called "Was Karl Marx Right." He said, "Socialism is a false re ligion. Socialism stands con demned as opposed to Chris tianity. It defies the laws of God, and hence is bound to result in chaos, war, and pov erty. If it succeeds, Christian ity will not." When enough people recognize the fact that its basic principles are in open defiance of God s law and in valid, socialism will no longer be the menace to our exist ence it is today. The thing called "conserva tism" although misnamed, has a time-honored and definitive literature from John Locke to the present and, our newspa per editors should acquaint themselves with it before go ing all out for a system that is immoral in concept and a sys tem that has never worked. To say that "those days are gone forever" when Christianity and morality are involved is brash. The issue is individualism versus statism. The Ten Com mandments stand today as the greatest document of individ ual freedom in the recorded history of man. -Each of the Ten Commandments is ad dressed to the individual as a self controlling person re- sponsible for his own thoughts, words, and acts. Each of them recognizes lib erty and freedom as inherent in the nature of man. The eighth and tenth affirm and reaffirm the rights of owner ship that the socialist takes away. Human rights are prop erty rights and property rights are human rights. To deny this is to deny life a la Cuba, Russia and China. Con versely, "conservatism" stands by the guarantee of life, lib erty, and the pursuit of hap piness. But, says the Medford Mail Tribune, the system of liberty is not geared to do the job in the present era. Let us look then to "Mainspring of Hu man Progress" written by Henry Grady Weaver: "At one time or another, every conceivable form of authority (government) has been tried, but each has failed for the simple reason; (1) Only an in dividual human being can generate energy and (2) Only an individual human being can control the energy he gen erates. The lack of under standing o f these simple truths has, for over 6,000 years, stagnated human prog ress and kept the vast major ity of people underfed, poorly clothed, embroiled in wars, and dying from famine and pestilence." I ask you, why leave the right system that we call "con- servatism'' for a system that has never worked? Mert Folts, 350 Fairway Loop, Eugene, Ore.

'Dog-in-the-Manger' To the Editor: It would seem beyond the point in go ing way out on a limb as you did in Monday's MT, blaming home people here for failure to support the 20:30 Club plan in providing vacation jobs for teen-agers. Quite like this writer, the home people don't want to feel humiliated in offering the price they can afford for baby sitting, yardword, washing the car, etc. Teen-agers may not read much beyond the funnies and sport pages, but they are well aware of the S3 to S4 per hour demanded and ob tained by organized union la bor. So, they feel entitled in proportionate pay. An elderly friend said to me, "Don't you think that 50 cents is enough for mowing our tiny lawn that does not take a young strong boy more than 15 or 20 minutes at the most. My goodness me, they want a $1 to a $1.50 to do it. We don't know what to do. Daddy and I are old and just don't have the strength to push that mower." A rather new angle was presented recently by a young, but hard thinking friend who remarked: "How can you ex pect our young people to be good and efficient workers when our laws demand that they be raised as drones until they are too old to rightly learn to work?" An orchardist at a Grange meeting remarked on the dif ficulty of hiring local labor: "We don't make a practice of hiring teen-agers. All too often they arrive late and languid. So discouragingly in different to the how and why of the work to be done. They work fairly well for about an hour. Then we find them sunk back in a tree-crotch or in the grass, yelling for a hotdog and coke break, seemingly having had no kind of a worker's breakfast. Somehow, they don't seem to know how to work. We do gladly hire the few who prove to be good workers and show interest in what they are doing." Some boys are born work ers. Like an orphaned one vacationing with us at our Oak Grove home south of Portland. He was overjoyed to get an errand running and watching job at the new B-47 bomber gas station nearby. But it was short lived. He came home wet-eyed, crying: "A Union business agent said it was ille gal for me to have the job, that my boss must hire a un ion man or have pickets out front." The boy would not stay without a job so went back to the orphanage. The union man could not take the small pay job, resulting in a modernization of that ancient but proven guide-post, dog-in-the-manger. F. J. Clifford, Route 2, Box 200F, Central Point 'Last Frontier' To the Editor: A phrase we heard, made some years ago by a traveler about southwest ern part of Oregon and north ern half of California, now comprising the mythical state of Jefferson was, that the in terior was "wild and would always remain wild." Perhaps it was a true ex pression at that time, but thanks to the helicopter and plane for the modern day method of traversing the rough contours of the wilder ness. Probably the inaccessibility of reaching every inch of the last frontier and vacation land by automobile is a blessing in disguise, for that barrier alone will help preserve the last remaining primitive area of northern California and southwest Oregon, a rugged wilderness of enchantment for future generations to wonder at. Some 100 years ago the same area was a scene of many a gold mine including both placer and quartz dis coveries. Only the easily and accessible locations were found and worked with profit. According to tradition much of the area is a virgin para dise of mineral bearing for mations. Bert Kissinger, 520 Boardman St., Medford, Ore. Seeks Fishing Stream To theQEditor: I thought maybe some of your readers might know where this place is: "Once, while fishing with home-madejjjlies, and thinking of several, great big lies, which I could tell the boys at the home, about the miles of brooks over which I'd roamed, tho' I hadJigured on the lies and the trip for months, I now decided to tell the truth, for once. "I would tell them I had not caught a cockeyed fish, though my home-made flies were a tempting dish for any Matter of Fact THE IDEAS OF J. K. GALBRAITH Washington-John Kenneth Galbraith is a tall, sardonic. witty Harvard professor of economics wno alarms aimosi everybody. He alarms other economics professors be cause he ob stinately writes the English lan guage, which is held to be grossly i m - moral in ev ery proper e c o n o mics juski'h ALSoi' d e partment. He alarms liberals because he is not mushily humanitarian, in the fashionable left-wing way. But above all, he alarms conservatives. Galbraith is becoming the new ogre of American busi nessmen, because he. is thought to be a dangerous left-winger, and because he is well known to be one of Sen. John F. Kennedy's chief economic advisers. America sternly Galbraith-ized by a Kennedy victory, with not a single yacht, or quail shoot, or dividend left in the land -that is the grim vision which now haunts great numbers of prosperous persons. IF READING books were not hornminff snph an out-of- dale pastime, the simplest remedies for these nightmares would be to read what Gal braith has written. Just for the jokes, it is well worth do ing, as the following passage on the nature of vested inter est may perhaps suggest: The nature of a vested in terest has an engaging flexi bility ... in ordinary inter course it is an improper ad vantage enjoyed by a politi cal minority to which the speaker does not himself be long. When the speaker en joys it, it ceases to be a vest ed interest and becomes a hard-won reward. When a vested interest is enjoyed not by a minority but by a ma jority, it is a human right." Maybe the jokes are the real source of conservative alarm ' about Galbraith. In modern America, we do not suffer wits gladly. At any rate, if you take a careful look at hit, "Affluent Socie ty" and liis more recent "Lib eral Hour," you will find a system of ideas that logical ly ought to enrage the left far more than it aisturDs me right. TO BE SURE, the basic nrnnosition of the "Af fluent Society" is unsettling. America, says Galbraith, is now too rich and comfortable to regard constantly unceas ing production of increasing ly superfluous con sumer goods as our main end and purpose. The time has come, Galbraith suggests, to think about buying more school rooms instead of more tail fins. And this of course re quires much heavier invest ments in what he calls me public sector.' This central idea, that it is needful to increase invest ment in the public sector, is the source of the conserva tive outcry against Galbraith. But if conservative persons will only read on, to discover how Galbraith proposes to in; crease public investment, they are likely to have more mixed reactions. He is, to begin with, usl about as anti-inflationary as George M. Humphrey. His reasoning is somewnat au ferent. He says, for instance, that inflation corrupts good government, because govern ment salaries never keep pace with an inflating currency. BUT GALBRAITH and Humphrey stand four square together, nonetheless, on the subject of inflation. He also stands four square with Richard M. Nixon on the mat ter of the budget. Like Nix on in the 1958 recession, he accepts the need for an un balanced budget in bad times. But he also insists on a strict balance in good times. Again, Galbraith stands four square with Humphrey and Nixon - or perhaps one should say, very nearly four square - on the problem of the income tax. Some of his sharpest jokes are directed at old Rogue river fish. I'd tell them that I'd changed to a rusty, old hook and cast into the waters of this babbling brook, using a Red Bug, as my bait, those acr-ebats would not wait. "The fish were jumping out on the ground, with water splashing all around. I picked tl.m up, brushed off the flies, wiped the sweat out of my eyes, rested a while then scratched my chin, threw about thirty-five fish back in, AND, a.?he water was being whipped lq foam, crawled into my car and drove back home." The only thing about which I care, is I forgot how to get back out there. Malemute Slim, White City, Ore. By Joseph Alsop the liberal delusion that all bills can be paid by raising the taxes of the rich. It just will not work, he warns. If Galbraith had his way, the vast existing loopholes would certainly be closed. Personal and corporate tax rates might perhaps be rais ed toward the pre-Eisenhow-er levels. But there would still be yachts and quail shoots in plenty. - Tlf EANWHJLE, G a 1 braith coolly proposes to pay the main part of the bill for new public investment with the tax which has been the cherished darling, the fa vorite lost cause of the Na tional Association of Manu facturers since time immemo rial. Extended sales taxes, in fact, are the expedient he) proposes. And if this expedi ent bears hardly on the small remaining minority of the truly poor, he says that in vestment in the public sector must dry up these sad remain, ing areas untouched by American affluence. There are other Galbraith ideas that the N.A.M., and big labor too, will like less well. Instead of the exhorta tion practiced by President Eisenhower, he favors posi tive though moderate gov ernment action to stop the wage-price spiral at its source, in the great adminis- tered-price industries. He also points out that the Federal Reserve board's methods of slowing inflation have not been super-effective. All the same, the equation of Gal braith with Karl Marx seems a bit questionable. (c) I960 New York Herald Tribune Inc. In the Days News By FRANK JENKINS From Blanco, Texas, birth place of Senator Johnson, the Democratic nominee for vice president: Senator Lyndon B. Johnson told his home folks that the nation needs a new foreign policy of using food and fiber surpluses to WIPE OUT FEAR AND FAMINE. He added: "A little food for hungry stomachs and a little clothing for naked backs will have a lot more influence than the worn-out tanks we have been sending overseas." TS HE right? A If we provide food for the hungry stomachs and clothing for the naked backs of those who have suffered cruel ad versity through no fault of their own, we will be follow ing a policy that is everlast ingly right. If we travel around over the world shoveling out food and clothing to those who merely find it easier to accept what somebody else is will ing to give than to get out and hustle for it themselves, we' will be following a policy that thousands of years of exper ience have proved to be ever lastingly wrong. EXAMPLES? Well, there was Lady Bountiful. She scattered lar gess wherever she went. She used no discretion. She just scattered it as she went. She accomplished little GOOD. She left many people un happy when her bounty wai exhausted. THEN Tlmrp wac thp HnnH Sa maritan, as described by Luke. He came upon a man who had fallen among thieves who stripped him of his rai ment and beat him, leaving him half dead. This man had been passed up by a certain priest and a certain Levite who took the other side of the road and ignored him. Luke tells us that there came then a certain Samari tan who had compassion on the unfortunate one. He bound up his wounds and set the man on his own beast and took him to an inn and took; care of him. And on the mor row, when the Good Samari tan departed, he took out two pence and gave them to the host and said: "Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest wore, when I come again, I will repay ths." WE have food and fiber . . . wheat and corn and cot ton and what not. We could profit by GIVING IT AWAY - . . scattering it as Lady Bountiful did. Amonj! other benefits, we eould empty the warehouses and make room for more surpluses in the event that we are so unwise as to go on stocking up sur pluses forever. . u.Ve would do little good by scattering it on all sides. We might do great harm by lead- ing people to think it would go on forever and thus tempt- gjg thOTi to quit scitching ior tnwnscives. SENATOR Johnson has a good idea, but I wish he would be a little mortQpecific in his proposals to give our surpluses away.
