| Demands for reform and revolution
are expressions of the worlds unrest
The Pentagon and the GA overseas
search out men who temporarily crusl
the dissidents. But popular unrest
is so deep that attempts to stomp il
out only strengthen the Communists
The problem is not to quell the revo-
lutionaries. 1t is to supply and sup
port democratic cadres who will di-
rect the reforms and manage the
turbulent days ahead.
THE PEACE CORPS is
ONLY THE START
This requires a vast reorientation.
We must be prepared to send to the
blighted areas tens of thousands of
teachers who will establish teacher
training schools. These teachers must
speak the local language and be pre-
pared to stay abroad for years.
We must have brigades of doctors
and nurses overseas to help establish
medical schools, nurse training
schools, first-aid centers, and hos
pitfalls.
Tens of thousands are needed at
the agricultural level. The idea of a
cooperative is as unfamiliar to the
villagers of Asia, Africa, and Latin
America as Einstein's formula is to
most of us. Yet co-operatives are the
answer to many problems. Where are
the men who can speak the languages
of the world and who will make up
our teams of teachers to show over
seas villagers how to farm and man
age comparatively?
Engineers and business managers
are also needed. The Congo alone
needs 10000. The enterprises estab-
lished in the underdeveloped nations
will be largely socialistic. Free enter
prise that has served US so well is
not a revolutionary tool in under
developed nations. 1t develops the
sweat shop in immature societies;
and sweat shops are new seedbeds of
discomfort.
Some of the new nations do not
even have plumbers, let alone archi-
tects of the free society. Technicians,
as we'll as political scientists, must be
trained. Many foreign students are
being trained here, in Europe, in
Israel, in Australia and New Zealand.
Most of them, however, must be
trained in their own nation. Shipping
them overseas is costly enterprise.
Moreover, those who study abroad
must learn another language. Send
ing our teachers to overseas schools
and Institutes can educate hundreds
where only dozens can be taught here.
In short we must be prepared to
export hundreds of experts in task
forces who speak the local language
and who can show hungry and illit-
crate, yet eager, people how to lay
the foundations of free society.
The Communist bloc has detailed |

nation. These plans
10 not call merely for the assassina-
ion and execution of the feudal over
ords and the democrats. Their project |
starts there; but it moves on to de-
allied plans touching every aspect of
| society-from farming to medicine,
rom press to censorship to music and
lancing.
We have developed exportable
Iouses that anyone who can read an
book can assemble. The
soviet bloc, however, has an export

hat is the measure for our competi-
ion-now that war has become obso-
ete.
Where are our troops for this
