Irresponsible Indonesia Indonesia, short of food and clothing, is buy ing three luxury jet airliners for its profitless passenger service. The cost will be $3 million more than the $17 million it is borrowing from the United States to shore up its crippled economy. At the same time it is threatening American oil com panies with confiscation of their properties. And Indonesians in this country are discus sing with the International Monetary Fund a stabilization program to ease their nation's stag gering foreign debt. I TNDER President Sukarno, Indonesia is show- ing a remarkable knack for living in the best of two worlds. She has managed to become a client of both the Soviet Union and the United States. A Cold War neutral, Indonesia has built up an army of 400,000 men. After much muscle flexing, Indonesia with U. S. aid negotiated a United Nations agreement last year to gain con trol of West New Guinea. Sukarno now is threatening the British scheme for a Malaysia Federation, but it is not believed that he's about to risk a military showdown with a major power. DUNG Karno, as he likes to be called the "Bung" is for brother has used the army to distract popular attention from gnawing poverty and, in West Java, actual starvation. In his flight from fiscal reality the Indonesian President has indulged in other costly toys, in cluding a $40 million stadium for the Asian games in Jakarta last August. Indonesia is in hock about $1 billion, of which more than half was spent for military equipment. Aside from the new loan agreement, U.S. aid since 1949 comes to about $773 million, about $402 million of this in loans. ""THE Indonesia economy has deteriorated stead- ily since the Dutch left in 1949. Exports last year were off about 15 per cent from those of 1961. Of the $570 million from the three Western oil companies operating in Sumatra and Indonesian Borneo. The official exchange 45 to the United States dollar, but the free market rate is usually around 1000 to the dollar. I he United States is reform, including devaluation of the rupiah. IRONICALLY, Indonesia is potentially one of the richest countries in the world. But be cause of a shortage of cotton, most textile plants are operating: at only about about 20 per cent of capacity. This is generally true of industry in Indonesia. And the world's fourth largest grower of rice is the No. 1 importer. Indonesia already has eign-owned oil companies 60 per cent of their profits as against 50 per cent paid under Dutch control. Now the government wants ownership within ten years the companies already have agreed to a 20-year turnover with immediate nationalization the threatened alternative. The American interests have a pretty high hole card. Under Section 620 (e) of last year's Foreign Assistance Act, U. S. aid recipients are given just six months after expropriating Amer ican private property to take appropriate steps to compensate the owners or face loss of aid funds. It could happen to Indonesia it already has to Ceylon. E.R.R. Farewell to Back in 1958 King Mohammed V of Morocco demanded "total and unconditional" evacuation of U.S. bases in his country. The upshot was a formal agreement a year later that the United States would give up its four air bases and one naval installation there no later than the end of 1963. The whole matter will be discussed again when King Hassan II of Morocco, who took the throne after the death of King Mohammed in 1961, makes a 10-day state visit to the United States beginning Tuesday, March 26. The United Stales is ready to live up to its agreement to get out of Morocco this year. But there is some talk that King Hassan may be will ing to renegotiate the 1959 agreement to provide for a later withdrawal from the U.S. naval station at Kenitra (formerly Port Lyautey). CINCE gaining independence from Fiance in 1956, Morocco has received an estimated $325 million in American aid of various kinds. With our bases gone, Morocco would lose pail of its leverage for continued assistance. A survey team, headed by William O. Baxster of the Slate Department, was dispatched to Mo rocco late in 1961 to study ways in which the U.S. bases could best be converted to serve economic and social development. Some elaborate propos als were drawn up, but no firm commitments have yet been made. Five years ago the Moroccan government would have been satisfied simply to see America abandon her bases there. Now there is some feel ing that this country has a duty to help fill the economic vacuum which such a withdrawal cre ates in the immediate vicinity of the basts.

The Mail Tribune reserves the right to edit all letters with a view to clarification and condensation. Letters submitted for publication must not exceed 400 words. The letters printed in this column do not necessarily represent the views of the paper, in fact the contrary is often the case. A Great Question To the Editor: No matter what the results of any presi dential election, the great question of our time which demands Immediate solution is. Are we going to keep the system of private ownership? Shall we attempt to preserve a social system that has proved Its incapacity to solve the problem of poverty in the midst of plenty? How many favor prolong ing the life of a society in which a few own all the means of wealth-production, in which labor-saving machin ery, instead of lightening la bor's toil, throws workers out of their jobs onto the indus trial scrapheap? Must mankind pass through still another vicious cycle of depression, crisis and war? Or shall we do the common-sense thing-make the means of pro duction our collective proper ty, abolish exploitation of the many by the few, and use our productive genius to create ieisure and abundance for all? Abraham Lincoln recog nized the injustices to work ers under class rule when he said: "Inasmuch as most things are produced by labor, it follows that all such things of right belong to those whose labor has produced them; but It has so happened that some have labored and others have without labor enjoyed a large proportion of the fruits. This is wrong and should not con tinue. To secure to each la borer the whole product of his labor is a worthy object of any good government." This is the very foundation of genuine socialism. Today our productive mechanism is as complex as it is vast. It cuts across all arbitrary boundary lines and can no more be controlled by Con gress than a streamliner can be driven with a bull whip, to direct the huge and compli cated industrial machine un der a collective society re quires an industrial, not a po litical form of administration. LydiH Burnham, 814 Warne St., Prescott, Ariz. Scholarship Application To the Editor: I have before me a scholarship application for Southern Oregon college. To receive such a scholarship, the applicant need have his parent complete an account of his financial situation. How ever, the application is not too demanding for most cases and contains a promise of strictest confidence as fur as the parent's financial state ment is concerned. What concerns me is the as sumption behind the require ment of a parental financial statement. The implication is that in all cases the student is supported by his parent and that if this parent is finan cially able to support the stu dent completely, a scholar ship is not necessary. But this is not at all realis tic in many cases. If a parent is not willing lo fill out the form, the student Is faced with the handicap of having lo work while attending col lege, though GPA-wise he may be more deserving than the recipient. Whether Ihe parent's motivations were based upon the principle that his financial situation is his concern and his alone, wheth er il is because lie sincerely believes - whether validly or not-that to reveal the Infor mation would be financially damaging to him, or whether the parent simply refuses to conform out of animosity, i is the student who suffers. As one matures he is ex pected by our society lo be come less and less dependent upon his parents, yet is still forced to ask them for hand outs should they be able to put him through college. His only alternatives are to drop out of school until he has earned enough on his owrl or to work while attending col TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON lege. Sometimes even the lat ter is not sufficient to allow the student lo support himself completely, especially if nec essarily living away from home. Assuming that scholarships should be granted and assum ing that they are to be granted on the basis of financial need, let them be granted on the financial need of the student. The girl who lives with her lower-middle-class family and has a $400 car (though her only need for transportation is to the campus four blocks away) plus more than $1,000 in the bank actually needs her scholarship far less than one whose parents are relatively wealthy but has no access to that wealth or has the forti tude to earn his own way. 1 do not mean to imply that the girl with the large bank account should not receive a scholarship. Before complet ing her education, even with a scholarship, she will likely need much more than the sav ings she now has; few students are able to (or should) live at home for their entire college career. I say, rather, let us be real istic and let us be consistent in awarding scholarships to the students-not the parents who need and deserve them most. Janet Bobbett, 400 Liberty St., Ashland, Ore. Building Collection To the Editor: I enjoyed very much the article on post offices in your issue of Feb. 24. Please convey to Eva Ham ilton my appreciation for a masterful presentation. In defense of the author I rise to correct the informa tion furnished by Mrs. Card in her letter to the editor of Feb. 7. Stephen P. Taylor was not the first postmaster of Phoenix. He was in fact fifth in line, preceded by Samuel H. Miller, Sylvester M. Wait, Pat McManus and G. Gold smith, in that order. We are always pleased to see material of this nature since It adds materially to our store of knowledge concern ing our Oregon Country herit age. We are building an ex tensive collection of research material relating to the postal history of the Far West and your fine article will be a wel come addition. Your readers will be interested to know that our services are always available in this and many other fields. The strength of our collections is based on the contributions of public -spirited and history-minded cit izens, so we would welcome any additions to our Postal History collection. Old letters, envelopes with postal or ex press markings, business pa pers dealing with post offices or express companies, photo graphs or objects having lo do with these services would be very welcome.

Mdfrd. r. VII VII II - II 1X0 IX Middle East Developments Not Well for Kremlin; Fear China By K. C. THALER United Press International London-TOPB- Things are not going well for the Kremlin in the Middle East, one of the major infiltration targets of Soviet strategy. Having built up its influ ence In Iraq with considerable military and economic invest ments, Moscow is currently witnessing the fact that the new Iraq regime clamped down with severity on Com munists and shot some of their leaders. i In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS As this is written President Kennedy, a c c o m panied by Secretary of State Dean Rusk and ranking members of Con gress from both parties, are in San Jose, capital of the little Central American republic of Costa Rica, where they will discuss mutual problems with the presidents of six Latin American countries - Costa Rica, 1 Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragus and Pan ama. WHY the meeting? It was suggested by Costa Rican President Miguel Ydig- oras Fuentes, who told a mem ber of the staff of the U.S. News' & World Report a few days ago: "The visit of President Ken nedy to Costa Rica was pro posed by me. I felt, and the ieaders of the other Central American countries agreed with me, that the time was ripe for President Kennedy to come here to talk with us about the Alliance for Prog ress and what should be done about Castro." TIE ADDED: 11 "Perhaps it would be more accurate if I said 'for Presi dent Kennedy to tell us what the U.S. proposes to do about Castro,' since Cuba is now too heavily armed for us in Cen tral America to touch." "The problem of Castro has become worse, more serious than ever before. The U.S. obviously has its reasons for behaving the way it doesj but the fact is that Cuba has been armed to the point where it is now difficult to get the com munists out. The Russians have also LEFT AN ARMY THERE, and that complicates the problem even more." TIE CONCLUDED: "It is now difficult to say how the Cuban problem can be solved. The Bay of Pigs was a magnificent opportunity to get rid of Castro. The show down last October over the Russian missiles was another great opportunity, and that too was lost . . . Now we are in a defensive position in Cen tral America because Cuba is much stronger than we are. "What happens now de pends on the United States." 1UIIS meeting in Costa Rica ic r-iti-innclv Intorostintr Back in 1824 - 139 years ago - General Simon Bolivaf, the great South American patriot, issued an invitation to the Latin - American govern ments then existing lo attend a proposed Congress of Amcr ican Republics to be held nt Panama. Delegates to this Congress were to be empower ed to discuss various questions concerning American affairs, particularly those relating to liberal commercial inter course among the nations of the Western Hemisphere. In the spring of 1825. the invitation was extended to the United States. President John Quincy Adams was im mensely interested in the idea, and when the All-American congress met in Panama he sent in a message saying that the invitation had been ac cepted, and naming the U.S. delegates. IV'HAT happened? " It's at least interesting. When President Adams sent his nominations as delegates to the senate, they were re ferred to the committee on foreign affairs, which repori ed against them on Ihe ground that participation in the All American Congress would draw us into entangling rela tions with other countries. The senate debated the com mittee report in secret ses sions for about a month and finally CONFIRMED the nominations, and voted funds for the delegates' attendance. But by the timf the ruckus was over il was too late for the delegates to reach Panama before adjournment of the congress. IT'S INTERESTING to specu- late on what might have happened if there had been more statesmanship and less politics in connection wilfi Simon Bolivar's proposal The new Syrian regime also has tightened its grip on Com munists and is tracking them down. After accepting quietly an anti - Communist policy o f President Abdel Gamal Nas ser in Egypt, Russia now finds things are getting out of hand. One Eye on China This development has come at a time when Moscow has become ostensibly more sen sitive to anti-Communist pol icies of the countries with whom it is doing business, for fear of Red China's reaction. One of Pekings arguments is that Russia is doing too much business with the so-called bourgeois circles in develop ing countries and ignoring the proper revolutionary move ments. But there is a lot more at stake for the Kremlin in the Middle East presently than the future of the local Com munist movements. The Kremlin has been working hard to gain and to extend a foothold in the Mid dle East. It forced its way into the oil-rich and strategically important area by supplying Nasser with arms back in the late 1950s, to help undermine Western influence there. But Nasser, after accepting aid on a sizable scale from the Today & Tomorrow By Walter (c) 1963.' The CASTRO AND THE AMERICAS The President is in Costa Rica to confer with the lead ers of the five Central-Ameri can republics, which lie, we must note, not only across the C a ri b b e an but between Panama and Mexico on the mainland. For some time, Lippmann trouble has been brewing in Panama over the canal. In the future, it could become quite serious trouble. And Mexico, which is a friendly neighbor, is at the same time the critical link in air communications between Cuba and the rest of Latin America. Without the cooperation of Mexico, a tight containment of Castro's agents is virtually impossible. For once the agents are out of Cuba and on the mainland, the admin istrative task of checking them in 20 different countries is gigantic. One of the un discussed problems of diplo- mancy is how to persuade Mexico to cooperate in the containment of Castro. For Mexico maintains diplomatic relations with Cuba and is unimpressed by our anxiety about Castro. ' SINCE the October crisis about the Soviet missiles, American anxiety about Cuba has shifted. In October, the anxiety was about a military threat against the united States. Since then, the anxi ety has turned to Cuba as a staging area for revolutionary movements in Latin America. It is fair lo say that there is no clear and certain solu tion in the present phase of the Cuban problem. That is because there is only one way to get rid of Castro quickly, and no responsible person, not Senator Gold- water and much less Senator Keating, wants to take that way. It is to invade Cuba, oc cupy it and govern it. The trouble with invasion is that it would be illegal; it would be very costly, not only in men and money, but in influence all over the world. Above all, invasion would be inconclusive. For Castro's men are good guer rilla fighters, and they would be given help from many American countries and of course from the Soviet Union. We should have on our hands the kind of nasty war which the French had In Algeria, and the great majority of our people, though they are much disturbed about Cuba, know that unless Castro commits overt aggression against some other American state, the remedy of invading Cuba would be worse than putting up wilh the cxistance of Cas tro. nearly a century and a half ago to create a Congress of the Americas. In that event, the Monroe Doctrine might have become a living reality that would have endured down through all these intervening decades. It might still be a living reality. If so, we would have known what to do about Castro and would have had Ihe pow?r and the WILL to do it at the time when it should hve been done. Kussians, clamped down on the Communists and outlawed the party. Moscow did not like it but swallowed the blow for the sake of political consider ations. But when Abdel Karim Kas- sem's revolution ousted King Feisal in Iraq the Kremlin at once approached the new re gime in Baghdad and has since poured into Iraq large quan tities of modern arms and economic aid. Maneuver Failed . There were very strong in dications that Moscow was in effect seeking to build up Kassem as a counter-weight to Nasser. This game has come to naught. Kassem is dead and the new regime looks to Cairo for cooperation. "Spontaneous" demonstra tions against Iraq in Moscow last week are a measure of the anger of the Kremlin leader ship. The setback in the Middle East comes after a series of failures in Africa, where Rus sian infiltration strategy has not paid off either. In the Congo, in Guinea and in some of the other newly emerging African nations Moscow has to pull out or at least to pull back. With Peking watching, the Kremlin's embarrassment must be all the greater. Lippmann Washington Post THERE are many who think that a substitute for invasion would be a blockade of goods, and especially oil. The blockade would be de signed to bring about the collapse of the Cuban econo my. The President has called this an act of war, and the advocates of a blockade reply that the October quarantine of offensive missiles was also an act of war, which fortu nately the Soviet Union did not choose to fight. Of course, it might be that once again the Russians would choose not to fight and that they would accept a blockade designed to destroy the Cuban economy. But those who are sure that they wouldn't fight can't possibly know that. What we do know is that it would be much harder for the Soviet Union to accept a blockade lo des troy the Cuban economy than it was to accept the very specific quarantine of offen sive missiles last October. Moreover, a blockade would bring us into direct conflict with Soviet ships, and therefore to the verge of a great war. Yet it would not necessarily eliminate Castro. II can be argued, in fact, that as between invasion md blockade, invasion would be the lesser risk. Either way, however, the risk would be incalculable. That is to say, while it would be easy enough to launch an invasion or to institute a blockade, no body would be able to calcu late the consequences, to for see the course of evenls and to define the conclusion. SO WE are left with surveil lance, containment and the effort lo immunize the hemi sphere against communism by promoting the Alliance for Progress. This is a long, frus trating course to take. Again and again we shall be looking around for some sharp, de c i s i v e, surgical solution. Those who think Ihey have such a solution will sound like a brass band with all the flags flying as compared with an organ grinder and his mon key. They will have all the good tunes, and the prosaic plodders will have to do the dirty work of keeping the peace. iry and By BENNETT CERF pETER LIND HAYES delights in reminiscing- about his erratic old friend, stuttering Joe Frisco. Joe was in constant terror of being robbed, says Haves. One night he checked into a flea-bag in Altoona, and searched ., every corner of the room before retiring to make sure no robber was lying in wait for him. Then he double-locked the door and dove into bed. He took one more precaution even then. In the darkness he called out. "Oh, Lord, here I am in Altoona again dead broke!" t Dann.v Kaye, touring the world in behalf of the UN International Children's Emergency Fund, encountered one mean, old curmudgeon who derided the whole idea. "The diseases, famines, and floods of the Far East," he Insisted, "were alwava nature's way of counteracting overpopulation. Now you do gooders are upsetting aU the scales and what's the result? Seven hundred million Red Chinese! I don't mean to sound heartless, but ... ." "Your logic is infallible." interrupted Kaye testily.

Harris 'e' Field Enterprises. Ine. FOOLISH VENTURE Driving down one of the main streets in Fort Lauder dale, Florida, last month, I spied the large sign of a front: "Anti Communist Booksh o p." It was Sunday and the store was closed, or I would have stopped in to browse. Com. liirn- munism is a way of life we dislike; but anti-communism as a way of life can be just as repulsive. Nobody can build a life on negatives, on being against something - for when that something collapses, then tnere is nothing left to hold us together. An anti-communist book store strikes me as a foolish venture, if nothing worse. Cer tainly the American public ueeds educating about world affairs, about the virtues and defects of competing systems; wnat it does not need is more anti-communist propaganda. The best way to fight communism - and I am talk ing here about the ideologi cal threat, not the military one-is to comprehend our own system, and to live up to it. If we genuinely under stand the open, dynamic, egalitarian basis of our American commonwealth, we will be immune lo ihe ideological virus of commu nism. The worst way fo fight it -and the only way that the super-patriots seem to know -is to persecute it as a re ligious heresy, with anathe mas and witch hunts and loyalty oaths and all the du bious techniques that are more appropriate to a fas cist system than to our own. If we really understand what the founding fathers were trying to create, what they believed in, and how they expressed it, we will not be seduced either by the communist corruptions of the left or the perverse birchings of the right. To be "anti-" anything as a basic creed is insufficient and self - stultifying. The worst kind of Protestant, for in stance, is the "anti-Catholic" one, who is so busy being against he does not know what he is for. In fact, the way in which many people avoid practicing their own re ligion is by castigating other religions; it makes them feel zealous, and doesn't impose upon them any obligation to act like a Christian in their daily lives. It is just too easy to be anti-Communist" in America today; too easy to use this slo gan as a justification for ig norance and bigotry and bul lying and hatred of all dis senters and non-conformists. And this is precisely what the zealots have in mind-to crush anyone who disagrees with them by branding them as 'communists" or sympathiz ers of one sort or another. The cure they offer is just as bad as the disease tney want to eradicate. What the country needs are more book shops of all sorts, so that peo ple will be induced to read and judge and evaluate for themselves-not an "anti-com munist" bookshop. For it is education rather than propa ganda that is the most effec tive prophylaxis against dis eases in the body politic. Stop Me it 'if j
