Segments of the American
press, education, and govern-
ment are heavily responsible for
the rise of Communism in Cuba,
H. W. Balgooyen, executive vice-
president of a major Latin Amer-
ican utility corporation, told a
session of the thirty-third alumni
conference of the business admin-
Istration school.
"Despite the daily outpourings
of hatred against the United
States, we still have our notorious

our pro-Castro Harvard profes-
sors, and our Prof. C. Wright Mills
of Columbia University who auth-
ored the diatribe "Listen Yankee,

He charged that Cuba was a
Communist state which Castro
created in betrayal of the Cuban
people. The peasant, who was

Tax Benefits
May Promote
By GAIL EVANS
Investment tax benefits should
be offered for consumer invest
ment, Prof. George Katona, of the
Survey Research Center, said yes
terday at a conference on con
rumer problems at the Universit
of Texas.
In a recent special message t
Congress, President John F. Ken
nedy requested tax benefits fo
business investment, but accord
ing to Prof. Katona this is no
sufficient to stimulate the econ
omy.
"Growth and expansion of ou
economy have become dependen
on consumer investment as wel
as business investment. Yet meas
ures intended to stimulate th
economy have been limited to in
centives for business investment,
Prof. Katona said.
Cites Slump
Purchase of consumer good
have slumped since the summer o:
1960, Prof. Katona observed. "To
day the consumer remains hesi
tant." Yet, he said that "the con
sumer is receptive to favorabl
stimuli.'"
As a stimulus to the economy
Prof. Katona proposes tax credit
for buyers of houses, automobiles
and expensive appliances. The re
duction of automobile excise taxe
would also help, he asserted.
Hluimbell Notes
U.S. Progress
The success of the America
free enterprise system is note
matter of economics, Russell J
Humbell, president of DePaui
University told the first genera
session of the Michigan School
master's Club here yesterday.
"Remember that the progres
and development of our natio
has been dependent upon free en
terprise in intellectual and spiri
tual areas as well as in economics,
he told his audience.
Free enterprise of mind an
spirit are reflected in our ad
vances in science, technology
health, agriculture and commerce
The growth of United State
freedom is the result of "the pro
pulsive power of men made fre
by the knowledge that they wer
potential sons of God," Humbel]
declared.
e American way, he said, i
to rely upon individuals to develo

and express individual opinion, an
to depend upon educational insti
tutions to seek the truth and teacg
it without fear.
"Freedom is not the right to do
whatever we wish, but the powe
to become what we were intendec
to be," he concluded.

War is some sort of institution,

aid. "Atrocities and violations of
eaties and international law
reak those rules."
Advises West
Toynbee advised the West not
> commit such breaches because,
ragmatically, the Russian and
hinese Communists can do a
nch better job at breaking the
iles than we can."
The London-born historian, who
ilieves that man is growing out
f the nation state and into one
f an international nature, stress-
d that "All of us are morally im-
licated" in the actions taken by
ny part of the West.
"We are justly proud that Ger-
nan music is a part of the West-
rn civilization, and we must rec-
gnize then that the West is also
able for the German atrocities"
i World War II.
"The Outlook for the West To-
ay," which Toynbee tried to
tnalyze, has its credits, too. A
eminution of socialinjustice pro-
ide greater equality and oppor-
unity now than in 1914, he said.

PAYMENT DEFICIT:
Experts Absolve Business

The balance of payment defi-
cit is not caused by American
commerce, two experts told a ses-
sion on "American Business in a
Changing World" of the thirty-
first alumni conference of the
business administration school
yesterday.
In fact, trade and commercial
investment abroad net the United
States a favorable balance of $7
billion, Ray W. McDonald, vice-
president and general manager of
a Detroit manufacturing corpora-
tion, said.
However, governmental military
expenses and foreign aid reduced
this profit by $5 billion and capi-
tal outflow and gold conversion of
$3.7 million created the deficit.
Old Phenomenon
The imbalance is not a new
phenomenon, Prof. Paul Mc-
Cracken of the business adminis-
tration school said. "With the ex-
ception of the Suez crisis, there
has been a deficit for the last ten
years, but half of the deficit has
occurred in the lastthree years."
He predicted that the problem
will be a chronic one with a hardI

core imbalance of $2 billion an-
nually.
"This may be bad. The United
States ought to have a balanced
flow as its target. It should close
the long term gap," he said.
Expresses Alarm
McDonald expressed alarm over
proposals that business cut its
overseas trade while government
increases foreign spending.
"There is no reason for spend-
ing non productive capital," he
said.
McDonald said that the balance
of payments difficulties should de-
ter American industry from in-

in the free world to be. tapped.
Western Europe and the British
Commonwealth are two areas with
a highly advanced market. They
are determined to reach the Amer-
ican standard of living and pro-
vide a market to attain this goal.
With the development of the
rest of the world the market may
be four or five times its present
size by 1980, McDonald predicted.
American companies first enter
the international market by ex-
por ng and as long as foreign
fir do not know how to make
