Naturally, comments like
these do not apply to all Amer

something is wrong with the
approach Of many Americans
abroad to winning friends and
influencing people -.
"As travel agents know, mis-
takes that can impair good viii

both the youthful and adult
travellers evidently need better

college professors term it

1t has been estimated that 2
million Americans will span one

There are millions in this mod

Wartime servicemen learned,
among other things, how to con-
duct themselves in their unusual
surroundings. And. Of course,
they were subject to military dis

Objectionable. The customs OF
the lands were to be respected,

States Government went into
quite a publishing project to see
that its fighting men would not
be unwittingly offensive.
Revealing Booklets
Pocket-size booklets were pub
lished and distributed to all
grades and ranks. advising them
of social taboos and the dos and
dont's of rejecting credit on the
nation they represented. They
learned. for example, it was not
odd In certain parts Of the world
to see two young men strolling
down the street hand in hand:
they discovered the word bum
was not to be used in polite Brit
ish company.
Perhaps these booklets ought
to be revised and distributed
among today's army Of travellers
They would be especially useful

Americans travelling abroad. And
such comments as these were

women on the other.
Once, as we were driving
along, we came upon four ba-
mana trees making q square In
the road. Atop each one was
q flower and o nag. Beside the
road, the gamelan or native
orchestra was sQuatting. Head
ing toward this square were
crowds Of men and women on
bicycles. It was . village dance.
Dragon Dances
We stopped there for an hour,
squatting on the ground with
the villagers. The dancers were
masked. some with smiles painted
on the masks, others with great
moustaches and bullying eyes.
And there was o long hairy
dragon, carried by two men
through the figures Of the dance.
All the dancing was done on
the road. Thus, when q truck
wanted to get by, the dancers
and the dragon retired to the
side of the road, the orchestra
stopped and the performance
ceased till the traffic cleared
away.
I blame the monkey for de-
laying us on one excursion. We
drove out to the sacred forest
where the trees tower majesti-

monkeys clamoring for food.
Native girls gave us some corn
kernels to feed them. The other
tourists scattered their corn
about but ! made the mistake
of giving all my corn to one

They say the tourists are
spelling Bali. Actually. It's the
other way round. Bali spoiled
this tourist for any other island

Other tropical islands have
their beaches, their quaint Gus

but 80 much more.

along the way, the villagers were
busy preparing for their church
feasts. These temples. open to
the sky, are adorned with fierce
looking gods, carved in soft
stone. Around the affairs, the
villagers worked. They twisted
palm leaves into little dishes to
hold their flower offerings. They
patted ground coconut meat into
cakes and colored them with in

and to handle mutual defense problems
These are both difficult problems, ripe for
friction

it upon itself to violate the United States

Japanese textiles have to post signs saying
so. 1t is criminal offense for proprietorS
not to. Japan has protested, but not in

1t is no doubt marked up to Mr.. Tani's
credit in the Tokyo Foreign Office that the

Ambassador Tani placed his hope for the

ought to treat kindly.
ITO the Japanese people, who preserved
their independence when colonialism
