INTERPRETING
President’s Agenda
Places NA TO First
By J. M. ROBERTS
Associated Press News Analyst
President Kennedy, putting the
North Atlantic Treaty Organiza-
' tion and Allied economic relations
at the top of the agenda for his
‘ talks with Prime Minister Harold
Macmillan, places new emphasis
on his campaign for greater
Western solidity before tackling
. the Soviet Union.
This approach also avoids
stressing the tension over Laos
at a moment when there appears
to be some Soviet desire to avoid
a showdown there.
Kennedy is in an unusual posi-
, tion.
He has made no changes in the
substance of American foreign
policy, but with a few changes in
■emphasis and procedure he seems
'to have created almost a world
wide, impression, that this is a
’time^'for new approaches.
Relations with Britain have
hardly been so good since the
war. Kennedy has captured the
.imagination of both governrpent
and public. Policies regarding
Asia which have never been par
allel are now beginning to fall
into line,. And the most important
’thing seems to be that Britain is
now agreeing because she wants
to, and not merely because she
considers the Anglo-Saxon alli
ance an historical necessity.
■ Relations with France are not
"so good. One reason undoubtedly
is because Britain sits so close to
the throne. Kennedy, by announc
ing plans for a visit to French
President Charles de Gaulle, is
making a play to assuage that
feeling and settle differences.
< The United States is taking a
moderately tough' stand toward
German economic policies and
participation in the world de
velopment program. Kennedy
plans to explain all that to Ger
man Chancellor Konrad Adenauer
personally.
This is a period of test and
countertest in world diplomacy.
The Communists have been try
ing diligently to find out at just
what points Kennedy will react
to their pushing—as in Laos—and
to their blandishments—as in
their conciliatory actions in the
United Nations.

oil in a cigarette lighter!”

WASHINGTON — President
Kennedy and Britain’s Prime
Minister Macmillan had a “most
valuable and useful” talk on
world problems Wednesday but
did not resolve differences about
Red China.
The leaders of the two most
powerful free world nations con
ferred for more than seven hours
at the White House in the first
day of a three-day series of con
sultations.
They concentrated on ways to
strengthen the Western Alliance
politically against the Communist
threat, and also on bolstering the
United Nations and improving
aid programs for underdeveloped
countries.
“Most valuable and useful,”
said authoritative sources on both
the American and British sides to
describe the wide-ranging talks.
Kennedy is trying to lay a solid
groundwork for the future of the
Western Alliance during the com
ing decade, and this was Mac-
millin’s first chance for a general
chat with the new President. The
parleys, attended by top aides on
both sides, were described as
completely cordial.
Kennedy and Macmillan in gen
eral were said to have agreed on
a need for strengthening the
North Atlantic Treaty Organiza
tion’s political consultations, on
lessening European trade dis
putes, on improving coordination
of industrial countries’ aid to
backward areas and on buttress
ing the United Nations.
On the question of United Na
tions admission of Red China,
however, the two countries have
not seen eye to eye.
Informants said Kennedy and
Macmillan outlined the respective
views of their governments on
Red China. However, no attempt
was made to unify their respec
tive positions, it was said.
Thus the divergence on the
issue remained.
The most serious crisis spot of
the moment, Laos, was on both
American and British minds, but
it was not discussed for the time
being pending word from Moscow.
The British, now negotiating with
the Soviet Union on terms of a
cease-fire in the troubled Asian
kingdom, expect an agreement
will be reached shortly.
So Kennedy, 43, and Macmillan,
67, both dressed in pin-striped
blue suits, spent much of the day

talking about the Allies’ future.
On the question of China, the
British have long recognized the
Communist Peiping regime while
the United States has not.
Recently, London has leaned to
ward the seating of Red China in
the United Nations. The United
States opposes this.
U. S. officials are hopeful that
the Allies will stand together on
the matter, along with a majority
of other U. N. members, when it
comes up for U. N. consideration
this fall. Washington hopes that
the other nations will balk at
kicking Nationalist China out of
the United Nations, a move which
Peiping has set as a precondition
for her entry.
Informants said Macmillan did
not press on the U.S.-British
differences on the Red China is
sue, nor did he say how Britain
would vote when the question
comes before the United Nations.
Both U. S. and British sources
said it would be impossible to
tell, in advance of knowing the
manner in which the issue would
be presented, just how any coun
try would vote.
The Red China question arose
during. a general discussion of
the United Nations. Other U.N.
topics covered included the Soviet
assault on Secretary-General Dag
Hammarskjold, U. N. finances
and colonial issues.

Offer Resignation
UNITED NATIONS, N. Y.—
Dag Hammarskjold declared
Wednesday he is ready to resign
as U. N. secretary-general any
time the General Assembly feels
he should get out.
He repeated his previous in
sistence, however, that he will
not bow to Soviet resignation de
mands unless the 99-nation as
sembly asks him to do so.
The secretary-general’s state
ment generally followed the lines
of his declai’ation of last Oct. 3,
but went a step further by plac
ing a standing offer of resigna
tion before the assembly.
Hammarskjold addressed the
assembly in the Congo debate. He
said the Soviet bloc had been
trying to build up a case against
him to back Soviet Premier
Khrushchev’s demands that he
resign.
His offer seemed certain to be
left on the shelf, since only nine
Soviet bloc countries have called
for his resignation or dismissal.
Hammarskjold made it clear
he would consider silence of the
assembly to mean that he should
remain in office.
