EDITORIAL COMMENT ?jLI fC7 The Missile Gap Ironical as it sounds, efforts are now being made in Russia tp Close the "missile gap." If it sounds familiar, it should. For the past two or three years Americans have been seriously concerned fctoout our missile g*_p.

The Rus sians, thVugiK^ave: more inter mediate-range missiles. Since wb have a better long distance strategic a|r_force than do1 , the Russians, a^corciing to almost all sources oMrttelli-' gence ,? the United States then wa| in a good rjiilitar.y posture in the recent.

Roosevelt, is taking advantage of a new medium to . build his political following and is gaining popularity inso doing* It will be recalled that MY* Roosevelt was the first Presi dent to really appreciate thje^po tential of radio. He used it for his "fireside" c^ats/and mil lions pf Americans came to feel that they had an Ultimate rela tionship with the President in Washington. This is good advertising, for there is no doubt that J>oth .Pre ?; i- ?-? ??y Y". ' ~ . ? sident K^nned^ and his wife e* hibit good television* personali ties and an appealing television manner. This means-, plain and simple, that'the Repeblican can didate who opposes M r, Kennedy in 1964 must, have a good tele vision personality too. For ltvif television which has changed the poljtjical style and political csnjfr paign more than anything else in the last fifty yte-rs-and candi dates from now on must have., television apperfi. Mr. Kennedy appreciates this face of modern political Hfe. I Zip Mail ;The Post Office department, moving faster than had baen an ticipated, - has announced that a new "Zip" mall service would be In operation by-July 1st. Its main benefit would seem to.,ap ply to large firms sending out a volume of first-class mail, es pecially those using electronic processing machines. The Zip stands for zonal im provementplsn, {there has to be a fin^-soundirig Something that Zip stands for. In government ' Operation lingo). There are to be are to be speeded on their way. This all sounds very fine, be ' fore the event, and it may well tie that of the hopes and expec tations comes to pas a. We hoj>e then' do. We recall the fanfare witm which former ?bstmaater General Arthur Summerfield announced~ttis vaunted speed-up of mail, a few yeara back. It is good that the Poet Office Department is Interested in Im proving serviceand it la almost certain that no one will be op posed Hto Postmaster General Edward Day's latest announce-, rnent. If fit meant fast**- 'fn*U service w*e will all be delighted, and it probably will. ? The British And Their Wars j> In Brunei, .and two small neigb bjor4ng' territories, a group of rebels seeking independence have challenged British authori ty, These areas are in Borneo and the British have been- there for centuries. In the usual sense of their tr a dition, the ^3rjitish?ba,?e reacted with ai few wo?ds and sent troops "? to the area to? restore order -*nd thg-authority of the Crown. Some jff the troops were Gurkhas and others were the Queen's Own Highlanders. '* f' The British, however, have a. ? gobd record for freeing colonial people when these people are - ready- -and few would deny their colonial- policies since World War II have teen enlightened, , For (hat. reason there la no world outcry at the Teetlfee of British coLopialiam left in the world-for the moat pert. And ?the ? British still malet*i?tlWlr calm and, tend In the tr+opelS keep order and put down tuur rections ^herever they.'occur. From all/ this there la a leaaon to be iear/ned. Flrat, of covrae, the British have aet an example in bringing backward people to ward self-government, and then granting them Independence. Secondly, and what may be juat as important, the Brltiah have been r^ady toflght to maintain order- anywhere around the ^vorld for hundreds of year a. The Tax Gamble *? tv ? " . ' >? Pri&ldent JohiTF. Kennedy is embarking on an economic gam-} ~ble in his program to reduce ^taxes.In the optnlon of political ? ? observers there is little in the ?way of a political gamble involv Many of the older and more conventional economic experts, ?> in Congress andfn private busi p'ness, are not yet sold on the presidential approach, which is, in brief, to cut taxes so that ? bmlagas. xpand^nd the ^economy along with TtTso that^ u in the end-a greater tax reven ue! will be realized through q,n expanding fejjonojny. "1 * Some of the conventional, econ omist potnt outthatCutTtngjtaxes now will mean another larg<5-i budget deficit and that continued I budget deficits will not only! ^ bring the, danger of inflation but ?>. the -danger of a lack of confi dence in-the dollar's stability on * world markets and even In the[ United States. But by 1964 the pressure for .some tax reduction will be pver whelmlng an^ since Senator s arW Congressmen are human beings, and must be electe4,by the vote of taxaayerer- ft wpi bej very ... | dlifltmlt to further postpone tax I reduction in 1964, if indeed the reduction Is not passed In !LM&_ - Ho ? which Tight now seems likely. The President's gamble is an economic one, and it is a gam ble thait could affect every Amer ican vitally. It may not cost him votes in the next fiw'ye*rs but if the gamble fails i^t -could cost every American, beicause the value of the dtrtlar might decline as a result. The Fr allien Times 1 ?
