The Author of This Article

The Voice of America recently
initiated a 13-week series of
talks by leading scholars on
self Evident Truths" The
theme is how democratic
principles of freedom meet the
challenges of the atomic age.
The first broadcast was called
"The Roots of Freedom" and it
was by Edith Hamilton, fore
most spokesman of the golden
age of Greek civilization.
Miss Hamilton's books, such
as THE Greek Way" have be-
come classics. She is looked to
as a source of wisdom by the
worlds wise men. Arnold Toyn-
bee, Robert Frost and Robert
Graves are only a few of the
scholars, poets and thinkers who
come to her. And the city of
Athens a few years ago made
her an "Athenian citizen" At
"a she is still very active and has
just completed work on a book
of Plato introductions.
Soon after the broadcast, Miss
Hamilton was asked whether
she believes American citizens
are living up to their RESPONSE
bilities.
II have great faith" she said,
"in the American people. They
will always rally to meet a crisis.
I think we have the character
here in America to meet what
ever comes"
But" she added, you get so
preoccupied in making your
selves comfortable"
She spoke of the need for
greater resurgence of the in

silvery one, first hit Bolivia-then
called High Peru and a province
of the Spanish Indies-in 1545.
In the summer of that year a
Quechua Indian left a pack train
of llamas, which he was helping
to guide, to pursue one of the
animals who had escaped. The
chase took him up Mount Potosi,
where a roaring storm and dark
ness surprised him. Forced to
spend the night on the cold
mountain, the red man built fire
of quenual bush, rolled himself in
his poncho and went to sleep.
When he woke up there was a
rivulet of silver running from
under the cold ashes toward his
feet.
Guallca-that was the name of
the Indian-reached town, got
roaring drunk and broadcast his
discovery, starting a tremendous
rush of adventurers. Thousands
OF them flocked to the cold "anti-
plano" from the five kingdoms of
Spain and from the four corners
of the world, and the town of
Potosi which they built became
the richest in the world. Even far
away Scotsmen, who had learned
to say "aS rich as Potosi," and the
Chinese, who included "Pei-Tu-
hsi" on their maps, came in.
Financed Spoin
1t was Bolivian silver-some $40
billion worth of it, according to
some computations ns-which large
ly financed the power and glory
of Spain, her victory at Lepanto,
her dreaded 'tercios' and her
Armada.
But to mine that silver, Indians
sturdy, long-suffering Aymaras
and Quechuas-were taken from
their villages and drafted into the
mines, where some million of
them perished of accidents and
maladies. That was the abomin-
able system of the "Mita" which I
endured under various names un-
til the second part of the Twen-
tieth Century and which was abol-
ished only few years ago.
When this happened-after the
murder Of President Francisco Viii
laroel, Bolivia's last dictator, in
1852 - the Indians received, to-
gether with their freedom, small
plots of land. And those Indians

which, as in the case of Hungary
in 1856, will interview refugees,
study documents, and make a re-
port which presumably will stir
the conscience of mankind.
Whether this will be enough to
forestall an explosive dwarfing
the Congo, no one can tell. The
intensity Of the Africans feelings
on the subject has to be felt to
be believed.
1t is not merely the toll in
human suffering - though this
has been great; it is that Portu-
gal is standing against what the
Africans regard as one of the
great popular movements of his
tory; the tidal wave of independ-
ence in Africa.
Ghana already is importing
arms by the boatload from Rus
sia, presumably for forwarding
to Angola. At Monrovia, Liberia,
a conference of representatives
of 100 million Africans cried out
last month that Angola could
mean war.
Few here doubt it. They only
hope Portugal can be jolted awake
before the explosion comes.

ington now is siding with Africa.
There is a curious bit of irony
IN Frances plight on Angola.
She cannot very well reverse her
long-standing position that the
U. N. has no business meddling
in colonial wars. She cannot
claim immunity from U. N.
pressures on Algeria and then
turn around and vote to bring
pressure on Portugal.
But Paris nonetheless cannot
support Portugal without qualms,
If only because her own client
states in Africa - the colonies
she recently set free, and in
which she very much wants to
retain influence "a are furious
with Portugal, and want France
to side with them.
For perhaps the first time,
therefore, Paris is feeling the
kind of cross fire of conflicting
pressures which so long has tor
mented the United States on
colonial issues.
Meanwhile, in purely human
terms, the Angolan problem is
one of the worlds most pitiable
stories.
Nathan Barnes Of Liberia told
the U. N. Security Council last
week that among the refugees is
a seven-year-old boy, the front
Of his body three-quarters raw
with third-degree burns from a
PHOSPHORUS grenade.
Child Sees Shooting
Another child Of eight has one
buttock shot away. He was res

brother shot dead. A young man
OF 20 has a 15-inch bayonet
wound in his chest.
So the story goes. The London
Observer, which has smuggled
many Of the facts past rigid
Portuguese censorship, says al

attempt to empty the country Of

ready to begin shipping tractors
within two weeks, it named a
technical team to go to Havana to
negotiate. Mr.. Castro agreed to
talk with them tomorrow.
But, buttressing the belief on

may still back out, he raised new
problems. He warned that the

kind and quality tractor Cuba will

Criticism Mounts

Meanwhile, the criticism of the
entire tractor deal mounted on
Capitol Hill.
E Senator Dirksen, Republican
leader in the Senate, disclosed that
the tractor committee had been
granted a tax-exempt charter as
an educational and charitable"
organization.
Other Republicans challenged
the legality, under the 1899 Logan
Act. of private citizens negotiating
with foreign power. And some
expressed concern that the big
machines Mr.. Castro want are
designed for everything but farm
ing operations.
Representative Michel Of Illi-
nois, whose district encompasses
Peoria, the home of the Caterpillar
complex, said that the tractor
workers themselves oppose the
deal. although 6.7 per cent of the
work force is jobless at present.

A South American country
which once was the wealthiest
land in the world, is in the throes
of turmoil, with fears of revolu-
tion.
Bolivia has been put under a
state of siege by its President,
Victor Paz Estenssoro, and a num-
ber of Communist and other left
ist leaders who are said to have
plotted an armed Communist in
surrection have been arrested. A
general strike by the Bolivian
miners is threatening the govern
ment, whose regime is also beset
by monetary initiation.
The United States and West
Germany have moved in with a
grant of special aid and with loans
totaling some $50 million.
Bolivia's precarious enonomic
and financial situation, her spir-
aling initiation are in part due to
the country's unstable political
background. Bolivia leads all Latin
American republics in the num-
Der of revolutions which have
bloodied her history and which
have made it so that only two
presidents, up to now, have been
allowed to serve out their terms,
while all others have been over
thrown or assassinated. But this
political instability is, in a way,
the result of the country's chaotic
history brought about by its i'm
mense mineral wealth.
Two-MiIe High PIoteou
This mineral wealth, in par
ticular is responsible for Bolivia's
chaotic demography whereby fully
80 per cent of the country's
3,500,000 people live on a cold ta-
bleland called the "Antiplano"-
a two-mile high plateau so miles
wide and 800 miles long which
grows nothing but a poor and
coarse grass, plus few exceed
ingly meager patches of vegetables
in wind-sheltered crannies.
The mineral riches of the sub
soil of the "Antiplano" lured the
ancestors Of those people to this
unhospitable corner of South
America-or brought them there
chained.
