5 -Year Program of Confidence
U. S. Economy Needs Clear-Cut Plan
And Less, Not More, Federal Spending
“Selective” price increases
have been in the news lately,
and now President Kennedy
has become “selective" in the
arguments he is using in an
attempt to justify a cut in
tax revenues simultaneously
with increases In Federal
deficits that are expected to
result from higher Govern
ment spending.
The President, however, is
Ignoring some of the im
portant economic facts of
life. His critics can become
“selective,” too, and point out
that Mr. Kennedy hasn’t
really explained what caused
the sl2 billion deficit of 1958
and the recession that has
continued with only slight
improvement during the last
five years.
One salient fact, often over
looked nowadays, stands out
in history. It is that on the
economic front in the last 50
years recessions and depres
sions have been caused basic
ally by war and its aftermath.
To say, as Mr. Kennedy did
last Friday, that the failure
of Congress to permit the
debt limit to go up in 1958
and the resultant stretch-out
in defense spending brought
on the recession is to over
simplify.
Recessions and depressions
are really major readjust
ments in the national econ
omy-periods of transition
from abnormal to what is
hoped will be a normal pos
ture in business and employ
ment. When the first World
War broke out in Europe in
August, 1914, and for nearly
two and a half years there
after, America suffered a
severe loss in world trade, but
things began to boom when
America entered the war in
April, 1917. The after-effects
of the war—the painful re
adjustment—were felt first
in 1919 and 1920, and the
recession came in 1921.
Unfortunately, one re
adjustment doesn’t cure a
postwar decline in the econ
omy. So America struggled
unsuccessfully through the
1920's in an attempt to over
come what was widely called
at the lime “a profitless pros-

U. S. Reticence on Cuba Defended
Any Public Debate With Miro Cardona
Called Comfort to America's Enemies
In a tormented document
which raises more questions
than it answers, Dr. Jose
Miro Cardona has given the
reasons which led to his re
signation as president of the
Cuban Revolutionary Coun
cil in Miami.
The Kennedy administra
tion has wisely refused to en
ter Into a public debate on
the detailed charges contain
ed In this indictment. It
must be apparent to everyone
that Mr. Khrushchev and
Castro would like nothing
better than a full-scale dis
cussion of American policy
toward Cuba, with complete
frankness on all invasion
plans. It may be necessary,
as the debate continues, for
the administration to be more
explicit in documenting its
case that the refugee leader
has seriously distorted the
history of his relations with
the American Government.
But essential parts of this
history can be revealed now

'Liberal' Formula for Happiness
Some Accused of Championing Liberty
While Favoring Creeping Coercion
Self-styled “liberals” are
generally nicer people than
sour-puss reactionaries.
It would be better to be
cast away on a desert island
with an outgoing and out
giving liberal than with a
guy who's against everything
including the construction of
a raft. But this doesn’t mean
that "llberaT government is
a good recipe for equity or
human happiness. Many
liberals suffer from smug as
sumptions about human be
havior and political theory
that simply don’t jibe with
reality.
They are capable of a great
degree of dogma, while
imagining themselves to be
the foes of dogma. They hon
estly believe themselves to be
champions of liberty while
they favor creeping coercion
as long as they can be the
authors of the coercion. They
are so sure their theories are
good for you that they think
they are only doing you a
favor when they tie you to
a post, pry open your Jaws,
and pour their nostrums
down your throat.
Willie Howard, the late
great Jewish comedian, had
a skit In which he imper
sonated a Communist hold
ing forth in Union Square.
“Comes da revolution.”
shouted Willie, "you’ll eat
strawberries and cream 1”
“But," protested someone
'ln his stage audience, "I
don’t like strawberries 'and
cream.”
• Willie assumed a contemp
tuous sneer: “Comes da revo
lution and YOU'LL EAT
strawberries and cream!"
This is not a bad descrip
tion of the "liberal" formula
for human happiness.
One of the chief charac
teristics of the professional
liberal in America is his naive
belief in the corrective power
of law. Every time he sees
perlty.” Finally, the whole
world experienced a major
depression, which began in
1929. Some of the European
nations recovered to some
extent, but America went
through the 1930’s with an
average of nearly 10 mil
lion unemployed and un
precedented deficits. Gov
ernment spending failed to
bring about an adjustment
to the economic consequences
of World War L '
It was not until after the
European countries began to
buy heavily from the United
States in 1940, to enable them
to fight World War n, that
the economy of this country
got a big lift and unemploy
ment was relieved. Then,
when America entered the
war in 1941, the whole busi
ness situation received a
spending stimulus which con
tinued through 1945. This
was the longest and largest
period of Government spend
ing which America had ever
experienced during a war.
The first recession of the
postwar era then came in
1946, but it was not until
1949 that the second reces
sion—which is usually far
more extensive than the first
—got under way.
If it had not been for the
Korean War, which started
in June, 1950, and lasted
through the middle of 1953
another period that required
heavy spending by govern
ment—there might have been
a serious depression imme
diately. The Korean War
really staved off the major
economic decline that be
comes Inevitable after a big
war.
What happened in 1958
in the national economy, and
in the five years there
after. appears to have been
an attempt to absorb the
economic effects of both
World War II and the Ko
rean War. Hits was compli
cated by the continuance of
huge expenditures for arma
ment annually in the “cold
war." These outlays now
have reached SSO billion a
year.
While the national busi-
only at the risk of giving
comfort to America’s enemies
and causing trouble for its
friends. Reticence is some
times an Important element
in the art of government.
Three preliminary points
must be considered before
one comes to the heart of
Dr. Miro Cardona’s docu
ment.
In the first place, there is
abundant evidence that he
has behaved like exiled lead
ers throughout history in let
ting his hopes color his poli
cies. It is not a clumsy ques
tion of bad faith. He is not
deliberately misrepresenting
what was told to him by of
ficials of the Kennedy ad
ministration. But he remem
bers only those parts of the
conversation that advanced
his cause. The qualifications
and restraints have dropped
from memory. That is what
the State Department means
by “distortions.”
Then there is the unfortu
nate tendency to blame some
social maladjustment or a
personal tragedy he wants to
pass a law to correct it.
Gradually and with the best
intentions he weaves a net of
verbotens and must-dos that
paralyses the individual.
If you keep on passing laws
to obviate every possible in
justice, eventually you arrive
at the ultimate injustice, the
police state.
Although the “liberal” often
professes a contempt for
money, he has almost a child
like faith in its power. What
he can’t cure with a law he
thinks he can cure with an
appropriation. When mulish
taxpayers balk at sueh ex
penditures at the local level,
he demands that the Federal
Government take over, on the
sound theory that the farther
the taxing agency is removed
from the individual the more
chance there is that the in
dividual will be complacent
about the tax. The argument:
"If Oklahoma doesn’t take
the money. Maine will” is a
potent one.
Therefore, the ‘liberal’' ar
rives quite logically at his ad
vocacy of centralized power.
Centralized power is the de
vice by which the normal
caution of the taxpayer Is
overwhelmed by his greed.
Federal aid to schools will
provide more teachers with
out raising school district
taxes. Nlnty per cent Federal
highway money means that
he won’t have to pay for a
bond issue. Increased Fed
eral relief means that local
responsibility can be shirked.
And so super-government
grows and the “liberal" is
delighted.
He is delighted because he
questions whether local gov
ernment will ever have ade
quate “social vision." But he
will aee to it that the super
government has. Thera will
be plans, bold plana of new
ness mechanism has ex
panded with the increase in
population since the days of
World War 11, the enormous
spending by Government for
armament in the 13 years
since 1950 is an economic
fact of life which is too
often ignored. It is a vast
sum that year after year is
used to supply non-produc
tive goods. It is an artificial
stimulant. The normal proc
esses of business are im
paired. Also, wages and
prices—which remain stag
nant during wartime are
abruptly and unevenly
moved upward faster than
the economy can digest the
changes.
Taxes cut now, even when
spread over three years, will
not bring normalcy in busi
ness. The amounts are rela
tively small. Other factors
may prove disruptive. Thus,
bookkeeping profits may seem
big, but if the Kennedy ad
ministration has its way and
corporations are compelled
to change their dates of pay
ments to achieve a pay-as
you-earn basis, it may be
1968 before the actual dollars
paid out for taxes by large
companies are brought down
to the level of the amounts
owed by them on a yearly
basis. This interference with
cash flow and with the use
of profit money in business
operations can retard recov
ery and keep unemployment
up.
The country doesn’t need
more government spending—
beyond the needs of defense
—but less. The country
needs a five-year program
built on private spending
that can spell confidence.
The President was right last
week in referring to psycho
logical factors in the matter
of price rises. But, along
that same line, even more
important now is the pres
ence or absence of a psy
chology of confidence in
what an administration in
Washington may do to In
terfere with or strengthen
the laws of supply and de
mand in business. This is
the determining factor in
bringing the economy back to
the healthy processes of
private enterprise.
(Copyrieht, IMS)
officials as if they were out
of sympathy with President
Kennedy’s aims and in a
sense were trying to sabotage
them. Deep emotion and a
sense of wrong have united
to betray Dr. Miro Cardona
into charges unworthy of him
and of the movement which
he led through difficult
years.
There is overwhelming
proof that he did a cruel in
justice to McGeorge Bundy
of the White House, Richard
Goodwin, formerly of the
State Department and Adam
Yarmolinsky of the Defense
Department. Since it is un
seemly for these officials to
defend themselves, it is all
the more necessary for others
aware of the facts to come
to their defense against these
ignoble aspersions.
Finally, there is the un
willingness of Dr. Miro Car
dona to discuss the Cuban
problem in the context of the
varied responsibilities that
face American foreign policy.
The Judgment of Washington
may be Influenced by the
hopes and fears of the Cu-
frontlers entered into with
vigor.
The “liberal" also seems to
hold a double standard in the
matter of human behavior.
He is irate about the "greed"
of corporations and the evils
of stock options. But the
mugger In the park who stabs
for *2O is a “deprived" per
son who wouldn't have gone
wrong if there had been
enough social legislation.
The “liberal” can’t believe
that removing the penalties
for misbehavior or lack of
performance could Increase
human cussedness and sloth.

ory, what we need are more
social workers, more public
housing, more’ youth clubs.
And with them we keep get

One problem with the
"liberal” is that he’a getting

labor-management problems
as though the Pinkertons

ban refugees, but it cannot
be determined by them. The
President must take many
problems into account that
never crossed the limited
horizon of the Cuban Rev
olutionary Council.
But the central point of
Dr. Miro Cardona's state
ment is not the post-mortem
over an invasion plan, but
his statement that the
United States Government
has decided that the Cuban
refugees should be dispersed
throughout the country in
stead of being concentrated
in Miami.
If this really is a correct
description of the intentions
of the Government, the new
policy should be explained
and defended with more
frankness before the Amer
ican people. There may be
ample reasons for such a
change of policy, but there
can be little Justification for
making this change almost
covertly. The administration,
if it has a good case, should
be under no hesitation in
stating it publicly and clearly.
If the case is bad, then the
new policy should be revoked.
There is no third course—
unless, of course. Dr. Miro
Cardona is factually wrong
in his charge that the refu
gee colony is being encour
aged to disperse. And if this
is so. the State Department
should speak more plainly
on this point than it yet has
done.
It must be painful to every
American official to prolong
this argument with the refu

to discuss the future of the

The “liberal’’ thus deludes

of the future. In his effort
to cure injustice by piling on
more government he forgets
that all the great struggles
for freedom have been di
rected against the overblown
force of government.
He has, with minor inter
ruptions, been in power in
America for 30 years. He is
getting gray, and even a lit

error or consider pragmatic
results. He has concocted his
medicine, and as our colic
increases he merely calls for
bigger doses.
The “liberal" is a nice guy.
He is loving us to death.

THE EVENING STAR
Washington, D. C , Monday, April 22, 1963
Thus they will have some
fun with this episode, but
in all fairness their fun
should not be taken too ser
iously by the public. Cam
paign contributions, even
from lobbyists, are an old
and indispensable part of
public life—particularly in
this era when it casts per
haps upwards of $500,000 to
run a successful race for the
Senate in any big and hotly
contested State. Contribu
tions are corrupt only if the
men involved in them are
corrupt, and there is no
slightest showing here of ang
hint of corruption.
It is humanly not too easy
to defend, say. Senator Dou
glas, because of his long view
of himself as possessed of a
staggering righteousness and
his equally long and lively
suspicions of the motives of
various other politicians.
Still, simple Justice requires
defense of him. and of all the
others, in this matter—even
though the observer is sadly
compelled to suspect that if
the shoe were on some other
foot Douglas would not be
overly forgiving right away.
For such a revelation of a
single and petty source of
campaign money to some
congressional politicians is
pretty hard on those thus
spotlighted, in the absence
of a total revelation of all
campaign contributions to
all congressional politicians.
Some of these would make
O’Donnell’s look like very
stunted potatoes, indeed.

No one who knows most
of the politicians involved in
this episode—as this column
ist does —will suppose for
half an Instant that these

much less the comparatively

it costs money to come to
