Two New Courses on
Defense Problems
Foreign Service School

To 500 Students

Two new courses dealing with
vital problems of national defense
will be given at the School of For
eign Service of Georgetown Uni

nouncement yesterday by Dean
Thomas H. Healy.
The first is on the subject of
Economic Defense and Economic
Warfare" and is under the chair
manship of DR.. William S. Culbert-
son, head of the department of
economics. DR., CulbertSon, who
has been a member of the execu-
tive faculty and professor at the
Foreign Service School for many
years, was formerly vice chairman
of the United States Tariff Com
mission and former United States
Minister to Rumania and Ambas-
sador to Chile.
DR.. Healy said the other course
will deal analytically with national
defense administration. 1t will be
under the direction of Aldo L.
Raffa, a member of the faculty
of the Division of Business and
Public Administration Prof. Rata
is on the staff of the Railroad Re
tirement Board and is an expert
enced co-ordinator and research
expert in Government service.
During the emergency he has been
"loaned"-by the Government to the
Administration of Export Control,
one of the new defense agencies set
up by President Roosevelt.
Officials to Be Invited.
The director of each of the new
courses will have number of as
sistants including well-known au-
thoritieS affiliated with the Gov
eminent and business. DR.. Healy
also said invitations would be ex-
tended to officials of some of the
defense agencies who wish to at
tend the courses as guests of the
university.
The courses will be open TO SEN
Tors and graduate students. Ses-
sions will be held once a week
during the academic year during
the evening hours. Evening ses-
sions. from $50 to 7:05 o'clock, are
arranged for the convenience of
employed students
The Foreign Service School, which
has limited its enrolment this year
to 500 students, will complete its
registration September Is. The
Foreign Service courses provide
preparation for careers in for
eign trade, diplomacy, interna-
tional shipping, international bank
ing and international relations.
There is also a division of business
and public administration in the
school which prepares for careers
in the Government service as well
as domestic business and profess
sional accountancy.
Emergency Problems Studied.
The new national defense courses.
Dr.. Healy explained, are in line
with the policy of the school to give
students the opportunity to under
stand the important events now
touching directly the lives of all
Americans They are also being
undertaken as direct contribution
to the national defense program.
The special courses dealing with
Far Eastern conditions, Latin Amer
ica, international shipping and Ian
guages have enabled many of the
schools graduates to fit them
selves into national defense assign
ments. They have been particu-
larly helpful, the school pointed
out, in fitting men for duty as in
telligence officers and specialists
with the Army and Navy.
