The United States in
World Affairs, 1963

by Richard P. Stebbins

Ever since publication of the first volume of
THE UNITED STATES IN WORLD AFFAIRS, an
ever-increasing number of government officials,

2

diplomats, scholars, teachers, students and lib-
brarians has come to depend on each year's
addition to this widely respected and almost
indispensable series. They rely on it for a
thorough, judicious, and yet readable analysis
of this country's role in the world affairs of the
previous year.

In the latest volume, which examines the
events of 1963, Richard P. Stebbins has once
more provided a reservoir of information and
sound judgment for the intelligent reader. His
experience as scholar and former State Depart-
ment official have provided him with special
qualifications for evaluating the underlying sig-
nificance of those happenings which have in
any way influenced America's relations with
other countries. In this, his fourteenth contri-
bution to the series, he again displays that
capacity for thoughtful analysis which has
prompted the Saturday Review to commend his
"great gift for an impartial statement of con-
flicting opinions."

Foreign Relations, 1963

Edited by Richard P. Stebbins
with the assistance of Elaine P. Adam

An expert and authoritative selection of the major treaties, international agreements, diplomatic notes, communique's, policy statements, and public speeches bearing on American world relations. Such materials, covering every aspect of America's foreign relations, could otherwise be located only by tedious and lengthy research in a variety of scattered sources.

## Foreign Affairs
### Bibliography, 1952-1962

by Henry L. Roberts, assisted by Jean Gunther, Janis A. Kreslins, Mary L. Ryan and Nancy L. Giller.

This latest volume in a distinguished series lists and describes some 8,500 books on world affairs published during the past decade. It covers books written in over 25 languages and on every aspect of international life—political, social, economic, legal and military.

It is easy to locate the particular books you want—the book is arranged by broad subject categories, with careful sub-divisions and many cross references. Each entry provides author's name, book title, facts of publication and number of pages, followed by a descriptive annotation which often amounts to a succinct, critical book review.

More than half of these books were originally reviewed by Dr. Roberts in *Foreign Affairs*. All are books of prime importance to librarians, writers, scholars and statesmen. And, this new volume continues the impressive scholarship and objective viewpoint which has made classics of the three earlier editions.

NATO in Transition:

The Future of the Atlantic Alliance

by Timothy W. Stanley

This book is an exploration of the issues and problems underlying NATO's current situation. The author believes that it can and must evolve from a defensive alliance based upon fear into a partnership for the future based upon hope. Such a relationship between Europe and North America can widen NATO's focus from pre-occupation with regional security matters to leadership in developing a viable world order for the future—a task made more challenging by the current turmoil in the Communist world.

The alternative is continued nationalistic corrosion in the alliance and extension rather than constraints on the world's inherent and familiar instabilities.

While analyzing practical and economic factors in some detail, the book's central focus is on the military and strategic factors governing the future of the Atlantic alliance. The author probes critically and carefully the new myths that have grown up around the old realities of the nuclear age; explores the political-military dilemmas behind the multilateral force and other proposals; and argues that, with modest additional effort, leavened by good sense, the alliance can complete its primary task of Atlantic security and proceed to wider responsibilities.

The book covers new ground in several respects: it deals with all aspects—political and economic, as well as military—of the alliance; it is written from a background of practical experience objectively and without a doctrinaire axe to grind; and it looks to the future rather than to the past. Most importantly, it addresses the central question of the relevance of strategic power in an age of mass destruction potential.

# Japan and the United States in World Trade

by Warren S. Hunsberger

How can American policies help or hinder Japan in finding an appropriate place in the world? What American policies affecting Japan's economy will best promote U.S. interests and those of the free world?

A large population, limited food production and heavy dependence on imported raw materials make trade of vital importance to Japan's political and economic health. The United States has an obvious interest in the future of Japan and a concern for the health of its economy. What the United States does in the economic field affects the Japanese economy at many points, often adversely, and, on the other hand, the expansion of Japanese trade raises problems for American producers. Can conflicting interests be reconciled? Can and should the United States help Japan play an important part in providing the goods needed by the underdeveloped countries of the free world? Is an expansion of Japanese trade with China desirable? Harper & Row, 1964. 492 pp. $9.95

## Africa:

### A Foreign Affairs Reader

### Edited by Philip Quigg

### Foreword by Hamilton Fish Armstrong

"The articles in this book chosen from among those which have appeared in *Foreign Affairs* in the past forty years, reveal how the points of reference in the discussion of African affairs changed and how remarkably quickly.

"Now that colonial rule is everywhere reaching its end, a retrospective view of its character-

7

[lt]

istic features becomes possible and can be valuable. By illuminating previous experience, the articles selected by Philip Quigg for this book can help put everyone on the watch against colonialist or imperialist tendencies in whatever form they appear.

"The last section of the volume sets forth the motives and aspirations of the leaders of the new Africa, and their proposals for dealing with their immense national problems in freedom, yet as parts of an interdependent world. Their articles, though the product of a turmoil of spirit, are in the main argued reasonably and without animus. The authors have felt free to write just as they wished because they knew that the policy of *Foreign Affairs* is to open its pages to diverse opinions and leave the reader to form his own. Here as in the earlier sections, Mr. Quigg's prefatory notes serve to give each contribution its place in the larger scene and thus provide a pattern of developing thought and action."— from the Foreword by Hamilton Fish Armstrong

# The European Community and American Trade:

## A Study in Atlantic Economics and Policy

by Randall Hinshaw

This concise, well-written book deals with the significance of the Common Market for the United States first in broad political and economic terms, and then by analysis of concrete problems of foreign trade. It shows how the Europeans got where they are now and examines the impact of the Common Market on Europe's economic welfare. It explores the consequences of the division of Europe into two trading groups — the Common Market and the European Free Trade Association (EFTA). The United Kingdom's relation to the Common Market is

8

ELCJ

examined in terms that help explain the failure
of the negotiations for British entry in January
1963 and what some problems for the future
will be.

The relation of the new European groupings
to the underdeveloped countries and the way
this affects the United States is the subject of
a special chapter. Another chapter examines the
impact of the new European trading arrange-
ments on American exports of manufactured
goods and farm products. In concluding, Hin-
shaw reviews the alternative courses open to the
United States and recommends strong American
initiatives.

The Peaceful Atom in
Foreign Policy

by Arnold Kramish

Examining international cooperation in de-
veloping the peaceful use of atomic energy, the
author asks probing questions about what can
and cannot be done through the various inter-
national bodies and scrutinizes United States
policy toward them. He explains the complex
relations between disarmament and the military
and peaceful uses of nuclear energy, and,
through his study of American policy and in-
ternational relations, he clearly analyzes for the
layman the trends of applied nuclear science.
Both in its exposition and in its policy recom-
mendations the book considers what the future
may bring, as well as the difficulties of the pres-
ent and the recent past.

"This thoughtful essay is a useful review of a decade and more of the evolution of the peaceful atom as well as a critique of policy. Interested laymen and experts alike should find it adds helpful perspective to their own thinking on the subject whether or not they agree with the author's analysis or conclusions."

# The Philippines and the United States:
## Problems of Partnership

by George E. Taylor

U.S. policies in Southeast Asia today depend in great measure on a political and military partnership with the Republic of the Philippines. It is a peculiarly intimate, complex, and dynamic relationship, the success of which can no longer be taken for granted, for the Philippines has entered a period of turbulent domestic growth, marked by strong nationalistic drives. The task for American policy is to ally itself with Filipino nationalism and participate imaginatively and constructively in the political and economic development in order to fashion a modern society in the island republic. To clarify the special relationship of the two countries Mr. Taylor surveys the political and economic heritage of the colonial period, the destructive Japanese invasion, and the republic's difficult early years with economic crisis and the Huk rebellion. He examines in detail the new nationalism, social dynamics, the problems of economic growth and of Philippine defense, and the Filipino role in Asia facing the offensive of the Communist bloc. His assessment of the problems and prospects of American-Filipino relations is forthright and gracefully written.

# The Dollar in World Affairs:
## An Essay in International Financial Policy

by Henry G. Aubrey

This book elucidates the fundamental issues of international finance, placing them in the

10

context of our over-all foreign policy. As an
essay written for the nonspecialist, it sets forth
clearly and readably the gist rather than the
technical details of the subject, together with an
interpretation of recent events. In its broad pol-
icy-oriented approach to the interrelated prob-
lems of the stability and liquidity of the dollar
and the financing of economic development,
it points up the manifold ramifications of U. S.
foreign financial policy with the American
position of ascendancy and involvement in the
world scene today.

The Soviet Union,
1922-1962:
A Foreign Affairs Reader

Edited by Philip E. Mosely

These 30 selections on the Soviet Union
drawn from the pages of *Foreign Affairs*
provide a 40-year record of perceptive analysis
and assessment of Soviet goals and methods as
they developed. From its first issue in 1922 this
quarterly review has regularly published au-
thoritative articles by prominent statesmen and
analysts, both Russian and Western. The
articles, selected from among more than 200,
recapture the crucial turning points in Soviet
development. Through them the reader can
trace Russia's challenge from the early revolu-
tionary years, through the period of Stalin's
rule to the uneasy coexistence initiated by
Khrushchev.

"The most distinguished volume [of seven books on the Soviet Union reviewed in one article] is clearly Philip Mosely's anthology. . . . Here we have articles by distinguished Bolsheviks — Leon Trotsky, Nikolai Bukharin, Christian Rakovsky — as well as by eminent Russian opponents of Bolshevism such as Victor Cher-

11

nov, and by many authoritative Western writers. Historians of the Soviet era will be grateful to Mr. Mosely for having made conveniently available this treasure house of materials, which shows so vividly the evolution not only of the Soviet Union but also of the judgments on the meaning of that evolution."

# Southeast Asia in United States Policy

by Russell H. Fifield

Southeast Asia is perhaps the prime target of the Communist offensive, as the headlines indicate daily. At the same time this highly strategic region is undergoing profound changes, a turmoil which the Communists seek to exploit with the many and varied means at their disposal. American policy, centering on the problems of security and stability in a divided world, is perforce deeply involved in Southeast Asia. As the stakes are high, the import of current policy and the alternatives merit close attention.

What has been American policy in Southeast Asia? What is it today? What should it be in the coming years? To clarify these questions, this book scrutinizes the evolving situation in Southeast Asia and the response to the challenge posed there.

In seeking to develop a rationale for American policy in Southeast Asia, Professor Fifield suggests guidelines for making it applicable through different instrumentalities now and in the years ahead. Current problems and conditions of the foreseeable future are set in the perspective of the relatively short period of direct and extensive U.S. involvement in the region.

# The Arabs and the World:
Nasser's Arab Nationalist Policy

by Charles D. Cremeans

This book analyzes the foreign policy of Arab nationalism and its most important symbol and leader, Gamal Abdel Nasser, setting forth its doctrinal basis, formative influences and practical expression. The author looks at Arab foreign policy from the inside out to see Arab objectives and international behavior as they appear to Arab eyes. Through the prism of Nasser's policies Mr. Cremeans examines the full range of Arab attitudes toward the West, the Communist bloc, the Afro-Asian nations and the Arab world itself. He assesses the prospects for the future as well as alternative courses of action open to the United States in its relations with the Arab nations.

> "... the most important book we have had in some time by an American on the harassing subject of the Arabs and what the United States should do about them. ... The book makes a richly detailed and comprehensive survey of just about every significant Arab problem exploding in the past several decades. It is as up-to-date as anything between hard covers could be. ..."

Policy Books

The Council on Foreign Relations has in-
augurated a new series of short "Policy Books"
published under a grant from the Edward John
Nobel Foundation in memory of Mr. Nobel and
his interest in encouraging American leadership
in international affairs. The purpose is twofold:
first, to provide readers in this country and
elsewhere with analytical studies of the highest
quality on world problems of great significance;
and second to contribute to constructive think-
ing on American policies for the future.

The Fourth Dimension
of Foreign Policy:
Educational and Cultural Affairs

by Philip H. Coombs

Foreword by Senator J. W. Fulbright

This book is a searching discussion of educa-
tional and cultural affairs — a long neglected
but increasingly important component of Amer-
ican foreign relations. It explains what is meant
by educational and cultural affairs, describes
current activities in this complex field and how
they developed, assesses the accomplishments
and shortcomings, and suggests improvements
that can be made in policy and program.

Remnants of Empire:
The United Nations
and the End of Colonialism

by David W. Wainhouse

With but some 60-odd dependencies remain-
ing on the political map, the world is now
going through the concluding phase in the
dismantling since World War II of the his-
toric western colonial system. In this process
the United Nations has provided the main arena

14

for the colonial emancipation debate, though
its direct role has been somewhat more limited.
Except for the explosive intransigence of Por-
tugal and South Africa, the colonial powers
accept the right of self-determination as they
seek reasonable and equitable solutions to the
problems of self-rule and economic and social
development in their possessions. David W.
Wainhouse, who was a State Department offi-
cial long associated with U.N. activities in the
decolonization movement, describes the rela-
tionships being developed in the liquidation of
empire and points up the implications for the
future of the United Nations, for U.S. policy,
for the world-wide competition with the Com-
munist powers, and for the former colonies
themselves.

UNESCO: Assessment
and Promise

by George N. Shuster

The object of exaggerated hopes and fears
at its founding in 1945, UNESCO has solid

opinion can do to make UNESCO more effec-
tive in promoting a free and informed climate
in education, the sciences and culture — are
the problems examined in this book.

Toward an Atlantic
Community

by Christian A. Herter

This is a forthright plea for the creation of
a true Atlantic Community within the next
decade. Secretary Herter demonstrates the ur-
gency of early action to insure the possibility of

15

progress for all nations and our survival as free
men. Facing realistically the many difficulties to
be surmounted, he indicates the evolutionary
process whereby a closely knit Atlantic Com-
munity, serving also as the nucleus for a
broader grouping of free nations, can meet the
Communist challenge to freedom.

"... a powerful exposition of the basic need
for greater unity in the Atlantic community."

United Nations:
Structure for Peace

by Ernest A. Gross

"Ernest A. Gross is to be congratulated for an informed and realistic analysis of the United Nations and its capacity — under conditions vastly altered since the Charter was signed in 1945 — to help maintain the peace. His knowledge of the United Nations, gained as deputy United States permanent representative and subsequently as legal advisor to Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold, is not excelled by any American. Since he has provided an analysis, not a history ... he has been able to cram an extraordinary amount of expert comment into a few pages."

must decide how to cope with a Communist
offensive which has already imperiled their se-
curity. They must also plan a long-range pro-
gram for the future of the American Hemisphere.

this frank analysis of past performance and
future possibilities.

The Organization of
American States and the
Hemisphere Crisis

by John C. Dreier

Is the Organization of American States our
most successful regional security organization,
or is it a failure? Has the test on Cuba strength-
ened it, or split it disastrously? With candor and
skill, Mr. Dreier examines its principal achieve-
ments and shortcomings as well as the problems
and opportunities that lie ahead. He makes spe-
cific proposals for strengthening the OAS so
that it can more effectively deal with the prob-
lems and crises that face the inter-American
community.

"... The considerable value of this small
volume derives from the authority of the author,
who, for ten years, served as United States Rep-
resentative on the Council of the Organization
of American States (OAS). He therefore brings
to this study of the main features of the OAS...
the benefit of active participation in the affairs of
the Council of the Organization. ..."

# THE ELIHU ROOT LECTURES

The Elihu Root Lectures were established by the Council on Foreign Relations in 1957 to provide an opportunity for prominent individuals to speak to fellow members of the Council on topics of fundamental importance in American foreign relations. The lectures commemorate a great American statesman, who was a founder of the Council and Honorary President from 1921 to 1937.

## On Dealing with the Communist World

by George F. Kennan

No problem of foreign policy is more important today than that of U.S. relations with the world of communism. And no name commands greater respect in the study of that problem than that of George F. Kennan. In this book, based on the famed Elihu Root Lectures, he offers a summary of his own thinking on the special difficulties currently facing our country as it confronts a rapidly changing Communist world.

From the vantage point of 30 years of study and experience as a career diplomat, author and scholar, Mr. Kennan points out the path he thinks America should travel if it wishes to profit from the challenges and opportunities presented by the Communist bloc today.

As a sure-footed guide to the world of communism, Mr. Kennan has few equals. In this book he provides the reader with a wisely reasoned review of the choices which face American foreign policy at the present time, and what we can—and perhaps must—do about those choices.

# Foreign Aid and Foreign Policy

by Edward S. Mason

This short book is a deeply perceptive examination of the U.S. foreign aid program. It clarifies the reasons why we are doing what we are doing in extending economic assistance to the less developed countries of the world and what we expect to get out of it. From a consideration of the motives and interests in both the aid-dispensing nations and the recipients it seeks out a rationale for foreign aid, and then probes the difficulties in reaching agreement on equitable sharing of the aid burden among the Western nations, given the compelling factor of mutual security in the over-all program. Here Dr. Mason also analyzes the shortcomings and prospects of the Alliance for Progress.

# The Scientific Revolution and World Politics

by Caryl P. Haskins

Scientific progress, a crucial element in the national power of the major countries, offers great opportunities to speed up the development of the less advanced countries. This book assesses for the layman the prospects and implications of this scientific revolution in terms of technological change, social and political relationships, and world politics. The author, uniquely qualified by his own role in scientific planning to interpret the new challenges and opportunities, considers how we can meet the problems and prospects of scientific change, both in the organization of research and development and in the methods and directions of foreign policy.

# Foreign Affairs

## An American Quarterly Review

In every country, the men responsible for foreign policy look to FOREIGN AFFAIRS for authoritative opinions and a fresh analysis of the problems they wrestle with day by day. For them it is required reading. They trust its editorial integrity. They know it does not take a partisan position and welcomes to its pages all honest and intelligent points of view regarding the great issues of our time.

But most FOREIGN AFFAIRS subscribers are not experts or professionals. They are Americans with inquiring minds and a desire to keep themselves informed. They are willing to dig deeper for an understanding of the issues which will determine the safety and well-being of the United States.

For 43 years, the primary aim of FOREIGN AFFAIRS has been to help close the gap in thinking that too often separates the American public from those who plan and make policy. While FOREIGN AFFAIRS is read by heads of governments, foreign ministers and our officials in Washington, it is edited in the conviction that important ideas and issues of policy can be as comprehensible and interesting to the layman as to the professional.

The Politics of Foreign
Aid:

American Experience in Southeast Asia

by John D. Montgomery

This comprehensive study is a frank political appraisal of how American foreign aid works in theory and in the field, drawing on our experience in Vietnam, Taiwan, Thailand, and Burma. The author seeks to show the effects of foreign aid on the basic relationships between the United States and the countries receiving aid. Sweeping away the controversies, the overgeneralizations, and the special pleading, he provides, in six detailed chapters, concrete examples of the planning and execution of specific foreign aid programs and their results. He discusses the international potential of foreign aid, unilateral and multilateral policies, attitudes in the host country, the Congressional role, the organization of foreign aid, and foreign aid as an instrument of democracy.

"First-rate, realistic study of foreign aid in general — both its problems and its promises — and of four specific countries where United States aid has been given: Vietnam, Taiwan, Thailand, and Burma." —New York Times Frederick A. Praeger, 1962. 352 pp. Cloth $6.50. Paperback $2.25

Spearheads of Democracy:

Labor in the Developing Countries

by George C. Lodge

For some years now, the U.S. government and American unions have recognized the importance of labor in underdeveloped countries to U.S. foreign policy. But there has been little public analysis and discussion of what has been

22

done, whether past policies have been helpful,
inadequate, or wrongly directed, and what more
may be needed. Drawing on his experience as
Assistant Secretary of Labor for International
Affairs, the author has faced these issues di-
rectly. He makes a series of frank criticisms of
the past performance of the U.S. government,
American labor, and American business abroad
and follows these up with concrete proposals
for improved performance in the future.

"The author's message is delivered in strident,
urgent and vigorous tones. He has started an
important dialogue on the importance of union-
ism in economic development and the form of
assistance to be provided. The greatest con-
tribution which this book could make is to
arouse the parties to the challenge and to stimu-
late debate and discussion."

The Long Polar Watch:

Canada and the Defense of North
America

by Melvin Conant

In this comprehensive study, the author ex-
amines the close interweaving of Canadian and
U.S. requirements for national survival which
have arisen out of the Soviet strategic challenge
to North America. He appraises the achieve-
ments and frictions of this interdependent re-
lationship and offers an analysis of the crucial
defense debates that have been taking place in
Canada over the past few years. The book ex-
amines various alternative strategies open to
Canadian policy and recommends steps to make
this partnership a more effective bulwark in the
defense of the West.

"Recent tendencies in the relationship with
Canada, so long taken for granted, have been
unfavorable. The revision of attitudes called for
by Conant is not easy, but it is important —
even urgent."

# The Future of Underdeveloped Countries:

## Political Implications of Economic Development (Revised Edition)

by Eugene Staley

This revised edition brings a classic in the field up to date by dealing first with world-wide trends since 1953, then with developments in U.S. policy, and finally with the necessity for rethinking and reorienting our policy.

> "... A remarkably good statement of a thesis of central importance to the free world. Usually effective are Staley's elaboration of American interest in a world without Communist threat; his exposition of Communist strategy and tactics in underdeveloped areas; his analysis of the political, social, and institutional requisites for 'successful' economic development, including the need for better social science research in the underdeveloped areas themselves; his stress on the importance of colonialism as an issue in the battle for men's minds; and his advocacy of enough economic aid in time, rather than too much military aid too late. ... This book is of first importance and value."

# Arms and Politics in Latin America (Revised Edition)

by Edwin Lieuwen

This revised edition includes a new chapter on the recent events in Cuba and elsewhere, considered within the context of the book's general theme: the role of the military in Latin

24

America and its relation to the basic aim of the United States to advance the security of the hemisphere and of the Western world.

"Political writing on the classical level; it has dignity, lucidity, integrity. Moreover, the author ties in his central theme . . . with basic economic, political, and social forces, so that his book provides a wide-lens picture of the evolution of Latin American society from independence days to the present. One of the most important publications about Latin America ever written." —*Saturday Review*

"The author has contributed the first comprehensive and up-to-date study of the phenomenon of militarism in Latin America, vital to the full understanding of the complex events occurring there. Because of its timeliness, the book's value transcends the excellent scholarly research displayed in it." —*New York Times* Frederick A. Praeger, 1961. 350 pp. Cloth $5.50. Paperback $2.50

# Spain and Defense of the West:

## Ally and Liability

by Arthur P. Whitaker

In this study of the quasi-alliance between the United States and Spain, the author expertly discusses: the evolution of Spain's foreign policy since its Civil War; the Pact of Madrid and the role of Spanish bases in American strategy; the "two Spains," both historical and new cleavages within Spain; the economic dilemmas; the role of the Catholic Church in Spain; and Spain's relations with Western Europe, Africa and Latin America.

"If good briefing were sufficient to ensure good decisions, the United States would have the best foreign policy in the world. . . . 'Spain and Defense of the West' is an admirable example of this American facility for selecting

25

and evaluating the essential facts in an extremely complex problem.”
—New Statesman

“In the field of the social sciences, and particularly in that of politics, Professor Whitaker’s book is the first and only scholarly treatment of the Franco regime in the English language.”

## Social Change in Latin America Today:
Its Implications for United States Policy

by Richard N. Adams, John P. Gillin, Allan R. Holmberg, Oscar Lewis, Richard N. Patch, Charles Wagley.

Introduction by Lyman Bryson

Most of the countries of Latin America are undergoing social and cultural changes, both rapid and profound. In what ways do these drastic changes affect U.S. policy? Will they provide a fertile soil for democratic development or for a succession of dictatorships of left or right? Is the United States doing what it can and must do to win the understanding or, at least, the respect of the rising social classes? The answers to these questions are vital to the effective conduct of policy in a rapidly changing —some say a “revolutionary”-stage of history.

“Six eminent scholars have presented the American public with a timely, fascinating, and thoroughly informative survey of the changing social, economic, and political fabrics of key Latin American nations. . . . The authors trace the movements of key Latin American nations across the entire spectrum of social, political and economic expressions . . . written with a strong academic optimism, reflecting the faith of some of the world's famous anthropologists in the merits of modern social science for interpreting and solving the troubles of the world of 1963. It is a book written for every politically

26

conscientious citizen and one which few readers
will find lacking in scholarly logic or research.”

## Communist China and Asia:

### Challenge To American Policy

by A. Doak Barnett

> “... Clearly one of the best analytical reports on Communist China and Asia that has yet appeared . . . solid piece of work by an American born in China, who spent years traveling in and around that country both as a student and reporter, who has supplemented this with extra records, who thinks clearly, writes lucidly and who has no particular axe to grind.”
> 
> —New York Times

> “In this excellent and wide-ranging study the central concern is where it should be: with the mounting power and significance of Communist China and with the growing shadow it casts over the whole of Asia and the “colonial” world. Mr. Barnett is acutely aware not only of the magnitude of this challenge but also of the many forms it can assume — the whole spectrum of military, economic, political and ideological pressures. He also feels, with good reason, that the United States has not made an adequate commitment of its mental and material resources to meet this challenge.”
