Smafhers Requests S Million
for Student Exchange Program
With Latin American Countries

Senator SmatherS" proposal
would add more than 1000 stu
dents to the current plan. Pre-
sently 208 Latin American
students are enrolled in United
States colleges and universities,
and 48 of our students are study
ing in Latin America.
In his letter, Senator Smathers
said, in part:
"Since the student exchange
program for Latin America leaves
much to be desired, l would like TO
ask that your Subcommittee give
consideration to including an ad-
ditional $4,000, 900 in addition to
those monies already requested
by the Administration, specifically
e~armarking them for use in the
Latin American area. This would
provide for an additional 1000 stu
dents and would make the pro-
gram adequate and effective.
Il am convinced that an ade-
quate and effective student ex-
change program such as proposed
is a worthwhile undertaking, and
will benefit us in, many ways. TAX
ing the long-term view, students
participating in this plan will raise
the educational level of their home
countries. An increase in trained
and literate manpower will entail
a rise in the standard Of living and
an increase in the purchasing pow
er of all the Americas. This, in
turn, will create new markets for
the expanded economy Of all the
nations of the Western Henri
sphere. Then, too, these students
will go back to their home coun-
tries knowing the truth about us.
We, in turn, will know the truth
about their countries. A better I'M
derstanding between us will result
in an inestable amount of good
will which will be engendered.
at is the soundest long-term
investment that the United States
can conceivably make, and will
give renewed faith in the ultimate
triumph of democracy in this Hem
isphere and the world"
He said that few Latin Ameri-
can undergraduate students are
taking part in the current pro-
gram of exchange, which is con-
fined chiefly to graduate students
or professional leaders.

IMPORTANCE

The citizen, within the free play of political opinion,
can adopt any attitude, according to his opinion, regarding
the national electorate is divided. Nothing and nobody
can prevent a citizen of that type from participating in
political activities, providing that, of course, they do not
attempt against the constitutional and democratic life of
the Republic.
In determined cases, when in the country there is a
political event of tranScendental significance, which VIC
lateS the dignity of the Republic, the citizen has no right
to be Indifferent, and even less to lend his support to
that kind of movement. Before a situation of such a
nature, each citizen has the patriotic duty of doing, indivi-
is capable of doing to prevent the outrage against republican
institutions. In this case it is not fair to act with parti.
san criterium, because the Republic is above parties and
above the programs OF its leaders.
The existence of a collective conscience of natural
scope is necessary, in order that, as the opportunity arises,
adequate civic reactions are produced, when the Fatherland
has been the victim of disfiguratiOn of its institutional life
and when the rights of the citizens have been violated by
the uSurper government. A civic reaction of fundamental
Importance should be manifested by the citizens, when the
democratic system of Government Is in danger of failing
or, even more, when it has been the victim of a military
coup, or a maneuver due to the audacity of inscriptions
politicians. Before an act of treason, each citizen has to
stand upon his civic rights and defend that which belongs
to all: the Republic.
If from the very moment in which the possibility is
seen of a crime against democracy, the citizens without
any other platform but to maintain the republican order
stand up to the uSurperS, many troubles for the Fatherland
can be avoided, since history demonstrates that cOnSOlida-
ton of spurious regimes has always been due, at least In
part, to the lack OF prompt action in the part of the
citizens.

teal unrest, or when the force of bayOnets has imposed

The economists consider that if
the study of the coffee program
leads to a greater stability and
prosperity in the coffee market it
would be logical to foresee a simil-

cacao are somewhat similar be-
cause of the competition between
Africa and Latin America and the
relative great Importance of the
American market.
