A Hopeful Look Ahead It is only natural indeed, it is a tradition stretching far back into history, as Frank Jen kins explains in his column today to enter a new year with a feeling of optimism, a hope that the "fresh start" offered by the flip of the page of a calendar somehow will bring better things. There is, we feel, more cause for optimism now than there was a year ago, Oh, 1963 will have' its tragedies and its heart aches, its threats and shootings and crashes and brushfire wars, its floods and miseries. The year just past had these things too, but it also was a period when a little progress in human affairs was made, here and there. e ECONOMISTS have a phrase, "self-justifying " expectations, which' means that optimism breeds optimism which in turn will help bring a better business climate, and vice versa. Such a mechanism can work in areas other than economics, too. It can work in the political arena, in international diplomacy, in the general attitude of whole peoples. And, not forgetting that a wide range of problems and dangers remain, we seem to sense that there is, in the United States this first week of January, a feeling that things are a bit better than they were, and that the chances for this to continue are good. (")UR formidable opponents, in the world behind the iron and bamboo curtains, have been re vealed to be less monolithic than once we feared, and thus perhaps a bit less dangerous. James Reston of the New York Times sums it up this way: "There (in the Communist world) the tides are run ning hard against the power structure. Centralized authority, the cornerstone of the Communist sor cery, Is no longer what it was a few short years ago. Moscow and Peking are squabbling in the open. The Co.nmunist empire, from the Adriatic and the Elbe to Vladivostok, is riven with Ideological dissension that makes the differences in the West seem small. "Instead of peace and brotherhood, the spread of Communism has created a kind of internal religious war, and Instead of stamping out colonialism, Com munism has revived it and turns the anti-colonial sen timents of the world against itself." X7E BELIEVE the cold war will continue. But there are signs, especially since the grim Cuban confrontation, that the two major nuclear powers particularly Russia have been shocked into a greater sense of responsibility in their nu clear missile-rattling. The principal problem areas of the world are, it appears to us, Latin America, sub-Saharan Africa, and southeast Asia. For these we fore see continued dislocations, and very possibly but little progress in the year ahead. In Europe, despite many serious political and international problems, there is a new era well under way, where growing economic and polit ical cooperation, even a degree of unity, is cre ating an entirely new outlook. HERE at home, our blessings, while mixed, ni'o nnmopmic California is celebrating (Ihoucrh we don't understand just why) its becoming the most popu lous state. Business is looking forward to a good, though not spectacular, year. Wages and salaries are up. Prospects for a federal income tax cut, while not completely sure, are not entirely hope less, either. The automobile industry is in the midst of what it hopes will be its best year ever. And so on. We have yet to solve many problems which will continue to harass us, but there is a disposi tion to continue working on them, and that's the important thing. All is not lost if hope and de termination remain. CO, IF no great and unrestricted optimism is permissible, one can look forward, cautiously but hopefully, in the expectation that 10(53 will be no worse than liibz, and quite possibly better. Reston put it this way: "The creat forces moving mankind at the end of 19(52 seem to be running a little more in our favor. If believing that things are going to be better will help make them so "self-justifying expec tations" let us all look forward with increased confidence to the year now begun. E. A. Bad and Good Days J. W. Forrester Jr., editor of the Pendleton East Oicgonian, is a man of many parts and du ties. One of them not the most important but not the least important either is that of writing a daily column for his newspaper. The column observed an anniversary he didn't say which the other day, which caused him to muse on some of the joys and difficulties of this particular task. One paragraph of his struck a responsive note in the breast of at least one person who grinds out editorials five days a week.

Last night, on the stroke of midnight, Old Man 1982 - his hair and his beard long and white, his face wrinkled, his eyes dim, his shoulders stoop ed - stepped out of the pres ent and entered the limbo of the years that are past. A moment later his little face plump and pink and wreathed in a smile, his eyes bright and snapping, his chin smooth and on his head as yet no hair to speak of, but from crown of his lit tle pate to the tip of his pink toes radiating vim and vigor and enthusiasm-Young 1963 stepped out on the stage and was welcomed with wild enthusiasm. AND so there came to pass last night a thing that has been going o nfor countless centuries. The historians have no accurate record of when it began. We call it New Year's Eve. H E SAID: ". . . There are so many days when a column goes through Indescribable torture. The words won't come because there are no thoughts to put Into words. When at last they do come, they come painfully and haltingly. When at last all t lie words are down, and they are sent to a type setting machine, the column reads as if It were something to fill space, not some thing to Inform or entertain " But he also countered this by saying: "Bui for every bad day the column has a good day. That's what keeps it going. There air always the good days to look to when the words will (low easily and there will be more than enough ideas to go around " There are had and good in al! jobs. E. A. No Brotherhood To the Editor: Mr. Jenny in "Rebuttal" (MT 12-30-62) says that my theology is con fused. He feels that the Com munists are his brothers and he welcomes them into a brotherhood which he says is based on Luke 6:27-36. Such an assumption must be based on both ignorance of the na ture of communism and a mis conception of the world of God. Communism, briefly defin ed is, "A Marx-inspired, inter national criminal conspiracy against civilization, based on a God-denying philosophy of life, sustained by faith in the dialectic, backed by the devo tion of its fanatical followers and to an uncertain extent by the Red armies." I include some quotes to help you further understand the nature of communism. "We Communists are athe ists." Chnu En-lai, Bandug conference. "All I needed for a com pletely materialistic outlook on life were the works of Marx and Engcls," William Z. Foster. "Atheism is the 'ideological weapon which enabled the progressive social classes' to put an end to the social, eco nomic and political conditions which had 'hindered the evo lution of productive powers, science and culture," " the Great Soviet Encyclopedia. "II is difficult, but neces sary, to recognize that the Communist ideology has no resources within it for coming to terms with other systems of thought." Reinhold Nie- huhr. the Moral Implications of Loyalty In Ihe United Na tions, July. 19V2, page 7. The word of God holds no philosophy of brotherhood based on the love of fellow man alone. God wants: Faith in God, repentance of i past sin, baptism lor remis sion of those sins, a life show ing forth the fruit of the spirit. Communism believes in: Faith in itself, no repent ance for any sin. baptism in the blood of its victims, a life showing the fruits of Hie Dev il. So you see, Mr Jenny, It is your brotherhood which is confused. From Ihe above you must realize that a compro i imse with communism is to j compromise with S.itan him : self. Any brotherhood, the t'N j included, which admits them s equal partners, is doomed I to failure as history has and j w ill continue to show. II .lames K. Shalcr Route 2. Box 210X Medford. EVEN the earliest of the an cient nations had customs that celebrated New Year's Day. The Chinese, the Egypt ian, tha Jewish, the Roman and the Mohammedan years all began at different times. But the first day of each year was marked with elaborate ceremonies. Thousands of years ago, the Egyptians cele brated the New Year about the middle of June. This was the time when the river Nile usually overflowed its banks. In ancient Rome, the first day of the year was given over to honoring Janus, the god of gates and doors and of beginnings and endings. It was Janus who gave to our first month of the year its name. Janus had two faces, and looked both ahead and backward. THE first day of Ihe year the Roman people looked backward to what had hap pened during the past year, and thought of what the com ing year might bring. As we do, they were in clined to think of the old year aa something that had been pretty rough and thai they were glad to be rid of it, and to the new year as something bright and fresh and wonderful. In the new year, all the mis takes they had made in the old year were to be rectified. so that life in the new year might he everything that it should be. 'pHAT brines up our custom (which we practice with our fingers crossed) of mak ing resolutions lo correct ("mills and bar) hahits. and re solving to make the new year better than the old year had been. How did that get started? It came from the ancient English custom of cleaning the cnimncys on isew ears uay. This was supposed to bring Rood luck to the housrhotd. Today we say "cleaning the slate" Instead of cleaning the chimney. But the idea is the same. Following another ancient English custom, English hus bands save their wives mon ey on New Year's Day to buy enough pins tor the whole year. This custom disappear 1 rd in the 1800 s. when ma I chines w ere developed to make pins, thus reducing the cert The term "pin money'' survives, as referring to small ' amounts of spending money u'H.vr of inti;r " Well, the long record of history tells us that in all probability it will he JUST WHAT WE MAKE IT. Good years don't iust hap pen. They are MADE to hap pen. Tht is the lesson the past hands down to tis. The Congo Still a Maze of Contradictions; Conflicting Motives Add Complications By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign News Analyst Almost from the beginning, the Congo crisis has been a maze of contradictions. If the casual reader finds himself lost in its t w i s t a and turns, surely no apology is needed. For I l"V. I example: O n I VjJI I Dec. 14, 1961, Leaa SteaJ PresidentKen- tewsam nedy, a strong supporter of the United Na tions campaign to unify the Congo, received from Katan ga's secessionist Presi dent Moise Tshombe a request that he intervene so that Tshombe could begin negotiations with central government Premier Cyrille Adoula. Out of this came the agree ment at Kitona in which Tshombe agreed to end Ka tanga's secession. Yet, almost exactly one year later, the agreement not only had not been implement ed, but Katanga students were shouting "Down with Ken nedy," trampling the U.S. flag and starting a fire on U.S. consulate grounds in the Ka tanga capital of Elizabethville. Tshombe himself was de nouncing Americans-in gen eral as "racists who think they can buy the African with dollars." This was an initial result of a U.S. decision to send a mili tary team to the Congo to de termine military needs of U.N. forces there. Within the dispute between Today & Tomorrow By Walter lippmann (cl 1963. The Washinnton Post THE PAUSE AND A LOOK AROUND In a newspaper interview, Mr. Khrushchev has just said that the Cuban crisis in Oc- t o b e r will "leave a very deep imprint on int e r n ac tional rela tions. This was a moment when the sin ister shadow1 of nuclear war raced o v e r t h e world. People started looking at questions of peace and war in a new way." The new way, he added, is to forestall dan ger by "way of compromise." We are not, I think, at that point. That is to say, we are not at the point where a settlement of the cold war by compromise is in sight. It is more exact to say that after the Cuban crisis the nu clear powers know better than they did before that they cannot initiate as against one another important changes in the balance of power. As be- Lippmann Strictly Personal By Sydney J. Harris (ci Field Enterprises. Inc. PERSONAL PREJUDICES . Most people live in their expectations rather than in their senses: In fact, they de liberately blunt their senses in order to make more en durable the waiting - period until their expectations "come true - but by that time, they have rendered themselves sensuously incapable of en joying the future when it ar rives. As an indication of our deep departure from the ideas held by the men who wrote and ratified the Dec laration of Independence, not one modern American in a hundred, reading "We hold these truths to be tell .evident, that all men are created equal." would un derstand what was meant by the phrase "created equal." and not one in a Thousand would agree that this idea is "self-evident." All of us live, to some de gree, by dogmatism; but we should keep perpetually in mind Santayana's warning: "The more perfect the dog matism, the more insecure - a great high topsail that can never be reefed nor furled is the first carried away by a gale." To be utterly reasonable in an unreasonable world is a form of insanity. When a woman feels forced to ask a man, "Do you really love me?", she already knows that the honest answer is something less than a hearty affirmative. A simulated indifference can pry out more secrets than a pressing curiosity: there's something about a secret that's dying lo be told - at long as it's not urged to. Parkinson's First Law -ahont expenditures rising to meet, and outstrip, income -was more tersely and pungent- ly expressed a full centry ago by Thorrau, when he ob served: "If you wish to give a i man a sense of poverty, give him a thousand dollars; the next hundred dollars he gets will not be worth more than ten that he used to get." The shortest excuse it al ways the belt and manliest: the firtt lime my boy laid. "I goofed." rather than gi t.ig tome elaborate explana tion, he had taken a giant Hep toward manhood. Everything seems to rub up against a sore finger: and the same is true of a wounded personality, which blames its own rawness on the abrasive nature of the world. The arm-chair philoso pher who tells you that "ev erything It relative." would be bellied if you responded hat his remark was only "relalively true." twecri East and West, military power cannot be used to change exisUng boundaries. This is a very great lesson to have learned. But it does not mean that we are now in a position to begin nego tiating a settlement of cold war. Where we have actually gotten to ia a willingness un der the compulsion of the nu clear danger to live with the situation as it is. WHAT we have then Is not " peace but a pause, and in this pause a reduction of the pressures at the vital points, notably Berlin, where the danger of nuclear war is most threatening. The effect of the pause in the East-West con flict is to make more em phatic and urgent the internal problems and issues within the Communist world and within ours. These internal problems are one reason, perhaps the main reason, why the pause does not mean that we are in sight of a settlement. Neither side, neither Mr. Khrushchev nor Mr. Kennedy, has the power to make a settlement. Mr, Khrushchev is entangled in a struggle with China for the leadership of the Communist world. In the West, American lead ership of the Western Alli ance is no longer accepted. It would not be going loo far to say, I think, that, given the pause which resulted from the Cuban affair, President Kennedy's greatest task will be to reappraise, redefine and readjust the American role in the Western World. fFHE era which began with A World War II has ended, the era in which the United States was at the same time the defender and the banker of the Western World. The United Slates, to be sure, con tinues to have a virtual mo nopoly on nuclear weapons. But the time has arrived when the military defense of the Western World, and particu larly of Western Europe, can no longer be borne in so ex traordinarily large a measure by the United Slates At the same time, the Unit ed States is no longer able lo be the preeminent banker, and if it is In continue lo play the part it is now play ing, it will need to have still greater cooperation from Eu rope. 11 will have In have greater cooperation in pre serving the international use fulness of the dollar, greater cooperation in the opening of markets lo American exports, greater cooperation in financ ing the defense of Europe and the development of the na tions of the Southern Hemi sphere. The coming session of Con gress will be under the shad ow of these American needs. Can the President obtain from Congress the legislation lo try - conceding that no one can be absolutely sure it will suc ceed - to try to overcome the sluggishness of the American economy since the middle of the Fifties? This must be done if the United States is to hold its place in the world. "AN the administration ne- gntiate successfully In Eu rope a cooperative defense of the dollar - which is the re serve currency of the non Communist world? Unless the administration can do this, the withdrawal of gold - now run ning at nearly a billion dol lars a year - will cause the kind of reaction in Congress and in this countr. which I could end in an insistence I upon restricting American in j vestment abroad and on rais ; ing the tariffs and Imposing quotas to reduce imports into ; the United States. The great design of a lib eral low-tariff area through out the whole non-Communist 1 world is not only a long way from being realized. Because of the condition of our inter national balance of payments, the treat design is threatened by a ernnus relapse into protectionism. Tshombe and the central gov ernment itself there is danger of over-simplification even if one makes no attempt at a judgment. It could be declared a sim ple question of self-determina tion - whether the people of Katanga have the right to de cided thier own future rela tionship with the Congo as a whole. It also could be declared simply the result of the cen tral government s desire to take over the income from Katanga's copper and cobalt wealth. It also could be regarded as a question of Tshombe's own desire to remain in power and his refusal to surrender to cen tral authority. It is doubtful that the tribesman in the bush has much interest in any one of the three, so a certain amount I Angola. of self-interest must be in volved. The U.S. and the U.N. take the position that Katanga has no more right to secede from the Congo than would a stats to secede from the United States. Katanga's tax income from the' Union Miniere copper mines this year will amount to between $30 and $40 mil lion, just about enough to cov er a one-month deficit for the central government. So the money itself cannot be, at the moment, a controlling factor. The U.N. position is that neither Katanga nor the re mainder of the Congo can achieve stability without each other. Katanga needs the Con go's agricultural produce and a port through which to ship its minerals without depend ing on Rhodesia or Portuguese Matter of Fact By Joseph Alsop (c) New York Herald Tribune Syndicate if THE STRAINED ALLIANCE Washington For the short run, at least, the U. S.-UN policy in the Congo looks like it's succeeding. Furthermore, it is not easy t o find any logical argu ment against this policy. The aim is to promote t h e stability of the non Commu nist govern ment of Con go 1 e s e Pre- AisoD mier Cvnlle Adoula, by forcing the rich state of Katanga to recognize the authority of the Congo lese Republic. None of the opponents of the U. S.-UN policy has ever argued that the present Con golese government can sur vive for very long if the Ka tanga problem is not rapidly solved. The alternative lo the U. S.-UN policy has been rather openly suggested by Sergei Nemchina, the Soviet Ambassador in Leopoldville. Nemchina has long been urg ing Premier Adoula to banish the "neo-colonial" UN forces, and lo seek military aid from the Soviet bloc. . VET it is a fair prediction that the success of this un impeachably motivated policy will further strain this coun try's already badly strained relations with the two chief Western allies, Britain and France. Neither London nor Paris has any very clear alternative policy. The main rub will be, quite simply, that the Ameri can government has again tak en independent action, by go ing beyond British and French wishes in supporting the "plan for national reconciliation" of fered to the Congo by UN Secretary-General U Thant. The fact that the results of this independent action seem likely to be good on the whole, at least for the time being, will be treated as al most irrelevant. In official Washington, the standard reaction to this sort of Allied behavior is marked quite open, extremely impa tient irritation. This is under standable enough. Yet wise troop command ers do not content themselves with crossly blaming their troops when they find the men under their command be ing unreasonably difficult. They look for deeper causes, beginning with their own methods of command. The same rule needs to be fol lowed, alas, by leaders of great alliances, including the Western alliance which the U. S. now leads. IF THE Kennedy administra tion wants to undertake this kind of self - examination, which is distinctly overdue, a good place to begin is the Skybolt affair. The so-called "Pact of Nassau" has by no means undone the harm of Skybolt. In Paris as well as in London Skybolt is still a very dirty word, generally accept ed as speaking volumes about American ruthlcssness and ar rogance. All this, once again, is an noyingly unreasonable. The British government was on notice from the beginning of November that the U. S. gov ernment had decided Skybolt was a non-starter. Yet when Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara visited London at the beginning of December, the announced aim of British Defense Minister Peter Thor neycroft was to change t h e American decision on Sky bolt. The facts were only faced in London after the McNam ara visit. The result was a British decision that they did not wish to buy Skybolt after all. This was the decision that "Prime Minister Macmillan brought to Nassau, after such a resounding preliminary row. But if the British were un reasonable, what of the Amer icans? The answer, alas, is that the Americans were quite exceptionally insensitive and far from forehanded. Unaware of the change of view in Lon don, President Kennedy took to Nassau a most generous offer to share further Skybolt costs wilh Britain, and In sell Britain as many Skybolts as might be desired. 'PHIS was refused. But if such an offer had been made in November, when the Pentagon decided against Sky bolt, or at latest at the begin ning of December, when Mc Namara went to London, the British could hardly have re fused it. Or if they did refuse it, they could not have com plained as bitterly as they did of the "rug being pulled from under them." By the same token, if the arrangements embodied in the "Pact of Nassau" had been suggested lo the British at the beginning of November, t h i: outcome would have been a major gain for both govern ments. Prime Minister Mac-" millan might then have an nounced the Skybolt-Polaris substitution as a major step forward, with emphasis on the escape clause in the "Pact of Nassau" which assures I h e British deterrent's continuing independence. It should not have been necessary for the Prime Min ister to make an emotional personal pica to the President for this escape clause. T h e strong feelings of "proud and ancient nations" which Mac millan stressed should have been understood from the first in Washington. The need for the escape clause should have been grasped at the outset, rather than at the last mo ment when Kennedy and Mac millan were face to face. What is finally done is not wrong, in short. What strains the Western alliance is t h n way it is done. And this i.i worth noting as the New Year opens, for the strains within the Western alliance are now becoming so severe that they nr-d urgent attention.
