Perspective THANK YOU CHAIRMAN BREZHEV By RONALD REAGAN "Chairman Brezhev has rendered the American debate (on SALT) an inestimable service." There's a double edge to this compliment of Walter Hahn, editor of Strategic Review - the quarterly publication of the respected » United States Strategic institute. In the journal's summer issue, soom to be published, Mr. Hahn suggests that -the Soviet leader has profoundly affected the course of the SALT II debate here in the United States. He did so when bfe stood before President Carter and assembled diplomats at the Vienna conference in June and declared that Senate amend­ ments to the treaty would have "grave and even dangerous consequences for our relations and for the situation of the world as a whole". With this statement, and additional warnings delivered by Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko, the Soviet leadership demonstrated a lack of sensitivity to the workings of the American political system, not to mention the workings of American politician's egos. But more important, Hahn believes, these bombastic warnings from Soviet leaders, who should know better, helped crystalize in the minds of many senators and other thoughtful participants in the SALT dialogue, issues and im- COCKTAIL HOUR MON.--TUES.--WED.--THURS.--FRIDAY ffl 3:30 to 6:00 Cut Prices HOMEOWNERS NEED CONCRETE?

ROLL AND BUTTER *Our Regular Menu Also Available plications which extend beyond a technical debate over the treaty's various provisions. "That incident in Vienna put a certain floodlight on the whole dramatic production called SALT," Hahn writes. "The * numbers, in the sophisticated and deadly game of modern strategy, weaponry and survival, are terribly important. But the real issue lies beneath and beyond those numbers." In Hahn's view, the real issue ~ and the ultimate benefit of the SALT II debate - is that it is providing a forum for America to finally come to grips with its "Vietnam hangover". Among supporters and opponents of the treaty alike,' SALT II is triggering a time of reflection about the role of the United States in a troubled world since our exit from Vietnam. Thus, Senate opponents (and those who are undecided) are not responding so much to the technical "war of numbers". As Hahn puts it, "they are responding more meaningfully to a pronounced popular uneasiness... about what SALT II symbolizes and presages for America's role and fate in a world in Which the shadow of the adversary's power is growing ever more con­ spicuous." By the same token, a liberal senator such as George McGovern who, political logic suggests, should be one of SALT'S strongest supporters, is examining the treaty in the wider context of his overall foreign policy beliefs. He may vote against SALT II. Most notably, the imminent signing of SALT II in Vienna , prompted Sen. Henry Jackson, a loyal Democrat, to break dramatically with a president and foreign policy team of his own party. In a speech delivered in June, Sen. Jackson used the occasion of SALT II to weave together the events, policies, actions and reactions of American foreign policy since "detente" began in 1972. The pattern which emerges, Jackson claims, is a policy of "appeasement" towards the,, Soviet Union. With the utterance of that single word, Sen. Jackson revealed just how profound the differences of opinion of SALT II and the whole direction of our foreign policy are among important spokesmen - even within the confines of a single political party. Hahn also refers to SALT II as "appeasement", but of a different character - an "appeasement less of the ad­ versary and more of trends within us -trends of confusion, crumbling values, fear of holocaust and, above all, fatigue of the heavy and often cutting burdens entailed by global responsibilitites." Hahn suggests that the SALT II debate represents a chance for many foreign policy spokesmen to cut through their own confusion, „ tortued evaluations and re-evaluations of past traumas such as Vietnam and take a new look as the 1970s, years which have previewed what the world might be like with American influence in retreat. If the foreign policy establishment is able to do this, Hahn believes, it will have caught up with the majority of Americans who have already put the Vietnam experience behind them. V So to Chairman Breshnev, a word of thanks is in order. Whether the SALT II treaty passes or fails, his dictum to the United States Senate in the Sresence of the president -elivered with the arrogant confidence of one whip an­ ticipates nothing butjblind obedience - helped expand what might have been a debate over numbers into a com­ prehensive, nationwide re- evaluation of our role in world events in the 1980s.

THE MIAMI BASKET Pick Your Pork Choosing pork over beef means you pay less per pound but, to get best value, choose your pork wisely. Look for cuts with a relatively small amount of fat over the outside with the meat portion being firm and grayish pink in color -- and with a small amount of marbling.
