attitudes claim supported by
several American observers here.
Futile Propaganda.
The only disturbing part Of it
all is that the American side of
the argument is clearly not get
ting across to these young people.
Propaganda of the kind dispensed
by the information agency con-
nected to the American High
Commission means less than
nothing to them.
One wonders il a part of the
agency's multimillion-dolla r
budget might not be better spent
in importing to Germany a few
people who can meet young Ger
man intellectuals on their own
terms and talk to them in their
own language. There are such
people. When George Kennan
presented a series of lectures in
Frankfurt a while ago, the
American case among this par
ticular group got a tremendous
boost. AS a more permanent in
f1uence on German thinking, it
is suggested that an American
endowment of a few professor
ships at leading German univer-
sites would be more effective
than a good deal of the routine
gospel-spreading now going on.
The point is that the American
case, intelligently presented. is
a good one. And getting it over
may have decisive influence on
Germany's political course in the
future.

security. We believe that it's just
as important to improve eco
nomic and social conditions in
the world. and we are willing to
help you do that in every way
we can"
Among other points of criti-
cism: The United States made q
bad mistake in supporting die
tatorial" governments through
out the world just because they
happened to be against the
Communists. They made an even
worse mistake in withholding
aid from other countries, such
as India, which tried to follow a
neutral course. The students de-
plored what they described as
the American tendency to see
everything in terms of black and
white and suggested that many
American leaders" in Washing
ton favored q preventive war
against the Chinese and Rus
slams.
Nothing to Do With the Case.
The fact that they were of
conspicuously military age, the
boys argued, had nothing to do
with their political attitude.

It was tough going, especially
at the four-to-one ratio. had
the impression at the end that
the American cause had not been

younger German intellectual

debate and a purely theoretical
approach to political problems,
which is a good and healthy
thing in any country, even if
it leads to some pretty unrealistic

Dean ofU. S. Diplomats Retires

Jefferson Cuffey
Took His First Post
For q Lark in 1911
By Warren Rogers Jr.
Associofed Press Sioff Writer

Jefferson Caffery joined Amer
ica's career diplomatic service
"for a lark" and stayed on for
A years.
He is retiring on February %,
after serving in most Of the
worlds hot spots and coming
close to death "only twice." as
he puts it.
Today at 68, Mr.. Caffery looks
like only a slightly mellowed
version of the notwithstanding

Spare of build, he wears his
clothes jauntily, combs his full
iron-gray head of hair firmly
back and speaks in the guarded
tones of the diplomat. But q
twinkle in his eye seems to say
he doesn't take himself too seri-
ouSly.
s'Why did / join the Foreign
Service? 1 guess because I had
nothing better to do. Looking
back on it now, there's nothing
better I could have done"
Mr.. Caffery's most recent post
was as ambassador to Egypt. But
his total service reads like a list
ing of United States missions
around the globe. He is the dean
of the United States corps and
has held the rank of ambassa- .
dor longer than any other-20
years.

EDITORIAL:
AGAIN, A NEW GOVERNOR
WITH THE appointment Of a new Cove

WITH THE appointment OF a new Governor the Virgin
Islands must again come to grips with the idea that the day
when our people can elect our own governor is yet in the dis
tant future. An encouraging step in the right direction, so
far as we are concerned, would be consideration of native
for the post. For the time being, however, that is wishful
thinking, though fully justified.
AS IN THE case Of Alexander, the Virgin Islands know
nothing of Mr.. Gordon and visa versa. Again the process
must be repeated-that Of learning each other, even before
either side can get down to the business at hand. In the mean
time there is much work to be done, and we can only hope
that the new chief executive will accept the cooperation and
offer Of goodwill in the spirit in which it is extended.
N REPORTS that the people Of the Virgin Islands
are difficult to govern must be discredited. There is nothing
whatever by way of proof that there is difficulty here. Most
outsiders take a quick look, then 60 off with definite notions
which are in no way related to the actualities Of the real
situation.
NEW GOVERNOR may gain an object lesson
from the story Of the man who went in a new neighborhood
to live. Upon arriving this new man asked a neghbor what
kind Of people lived there. Instead of answering directly,
the. neighbor asked, What kind Of neighbors did you leave
beEindP' The answer came, Pretty good ~neighbors." Then,
said the other man. you will find the same type Of people
right here"
A NEW MAN has an opportunity which he may
accept or reject. His success will be measured in terms of
his sincerity, his regard for the wishes and welfare of the peo-
pie of these Islands. What he makes of his administration
is entirely up to him.
