America, including Cuba? Frankly,
no one now knows. The whole idea
is so new with such far reaching
possibilities and dangers. If several
nations plan to send Peace Corps
to foreign country, surely the
members of each will be able to
talk with each other since they can
speak the language of the country
to which they are sent If both men
a women are accepted this makes
a further complication.
Would China Send Out Peace
Corps!
Studying this whole idea with its
ramifications, il may result in doing
more to bring the nations together
than has even the United Nations.
There are about one hundred
separate nations now in the United
Nations Organization. Imagine only
a small proportion of these one
hundred nations sending out Peace
Corps. furthermore. although Com
munist China is now being kept
out of the United Nations, yet
China would be free to send Peace
Corps into the leading nations. One
more thought, what if China should
decide TO send Peace Corps into
the United States? Perhaps all the
above may cause President Ken
nedy. or at least Congress, to pass
the entire problem over to the
United Nations TO operate. Knowing,
however. how slow the United Nat
ions works, this may kill or delay
the entire idea as now set up. / am
strongly for the Peace Corps as
set up by the present able leader
r. Sargent Shriver. Jr, 1t, however,
has great possibilities and may be
the one thing to head off World
War III and save civilization.
Milford chronicle., 1961-04-14

To make this new Peace Army
successful, Congress must be pre-
pared to spend as lavishly thereon
as it would spend on the develop
ment of missiles or any nuclear
weapons. This new Army should be
taken very seriously and be placed
under our u. S. Defense Dept. with
President Kennedy as Commander
in Chief. Every nation should be
entitled to the aid of the Peace
Corps, although its personnel
should be sent into a nation only
at the nations request. Whether
or not the Peace Corps should or
should not be tied up with foreign
aid is to be decided later.
Peace Corps And Defense Depart
ment
1t is a great mistake to COM
pare the proposed Peace Corps
with the Civilian Conservation
Corps organized by Franklin Roose-
welt to give work to unemployed
young men during the depression of
the 1930's. In order to be success
full the Peace Corps must be care
fully selected, organized, trained.
and disciplined. 1t must be treat
ed and financed as If some entire
ly new revolutionary weapon had
been discovered which we must
either adopt or we will be sunk!
Certainly all nations including
Russia will be free to organize
similar Peace Corps. | understand
that Charles deGaulle is much in
terested. This development creates
an entirely new and apparently
overlooked situation. Would it be
good or bad for the movement to
have different Peace Corps of other
nations working within a single
nation such as one of the Latin
Nations of Central and South
