Much is being made these days of the argument that neither the United States nor the Soviet Union should insist on a in seeking a disarmament lettlement There is serious doubt whether pro gress in disarmament is likely in any event so long as the great fundamental differences remain unsolved between West and East But to the extent that both sides feel strong pressure to continue talking disarmament insistence on com prehensdve plans on an or basis would seem a foolishly rigid ap proach If for instance an agreement could be reached on the reservation of outer apace for peaceful purposes without re ference to any other disarmament fea would appear sensible to jumpt it If too acceptable proposals could be worked out for general nuclear disarma ment the aame attitude would seem wiseven though nothing be said about scrap ping more conventional arms The point is obvious but important that a beginning has to be made some where or more than a decade nearly all negotiations between East and West have been colored by mutual mistrust A dis armament pact covering even a part of the arms field would represent a start' and a change to test the current inten tions of the Kremlin However slender the prospect of any settlement at all we are bound in the in terests of all and exhi biting our own good faith to go at disarm ament with a flexible attitude We need to beware though of those who use the anti package argument as a cloak to promote other purposes If as an inevitable sequel to that ar gument it is suggested that we begin item by item disarmament by banning all nuclear tests then it will be plain we are being taken down the garden path Nuclear disarmament as such is one think a fit subject for discussion Nu clear disarmament broken into pieces separate consideration of a ban on tests and a ban on actual production of nuclear weapons is something else In view the two aspects of the matter are inseparably linked We cannot stubbornly insist on putting over every part of our own complex pack age of disarmament But flexibility does not demand that we allow our adversaries to slice off those particular chunks of in dividual arms items like a nuclear test ban which conveniently serve their stra tegic aims alone Indonesia Lesson In Confusion In the tottery government of Indonesiat Jakarta there is a hard lesson to be learned by all emergent nations which must endure the early pains of indepen dence President regime never well constructed and never enjoying the advantage of well schooled public ser vants has been in trouble a long time In its ignorance and foolishness it has ac cepted guidance from communism And has failed to give proper representation to the principal outlying islands which comprise the Indonesian republic center ed on Java Instead of facing up to its difficulties the government sought to divert atten tion from them by conducting a senseless campaign against Dutch economic inter ests and an ill founded drive to take over Dutch held West New Guinea The net effect has been simply to com pound the weaknesses and difficulties and solve nothing Observe Indonesia: How not to run a government i Guest Editorial i i 1 i To report on the model car that reported ly all other models but we bet the figures are way up there or the beer copywriters who seem to be stuck in a deep adjectival mire and have been weakly plying us with slogans for months we offer the following triumph by James Thurber and dare the most enterprising to run it up the flagpole: We Still Brew Good Like We Used to Could!
