Two Views of Americas Spirit

In contrast Is the speech of
Senator Fulbright, himself
an oxford graduate, who
says:
"Yet If one probes more
deeply beneath the chrome
plated surface Of American
life, he comes inescapably to
the conclusion that the
American people, by and
large, are not happy. The
incidence of mental illness
and of physical ailments as
sociated with emotional stress
is increasing rapidly. :.
1T has occurred to me
that perhaps one of the diff
ficulties is not in ourselves
as individuals but in our
selves in our collective ca
pacity as a Nation. 1t would
be helpful, I think, if the
developing science of psy-
chiatry could make a study

tives and personalities, for
it seems to me that nations
have quite as hard a time
understanding themselves as
do individuals. / believe such
a study would conclude that
Americas trouble is baSically
one of aimlesSnesS at home
and Illustration abroad"
The difficulty is such a
study couldn't possibly be
completely in time for the
American people to reach the
desired conclusion that the
election of a Democratic
President will cure every
thing. Mr.. Fulbright says
also that so million prescrip-
tions for "tranquilizers" were
written last year and that

artists get longer. 1t could be

VIENNA, Austria. Sept. 5

1t is by no means quiet

cool serenity of the United

uneasiness within.
The U.N. team in the

cent job. No American, re-
turning home from some job
we'll done, has more merited
a Broadway ticker-tape re-

first desperate days when it
was all but overwhelmed by
chaos, violence, and the con-
slant sabotage by the Rus

can be only more hard work
against heavy odds.
There is fear, not merely
in U. S. circles, but in those
African delegations which
wish their countries TO be
free of direction or domina-
ton by either the West or
the East. The U. N. future
in the Congo is not reassur-

will reveal which way the
Congo will go. And there is
a feeling the Soviets, who
