and Ghana has prompted some hard thinking about underlying forces at work in underdeveloped lands of Asia and now comes a scholar with an explanation of communist losses that sounds very much like Washington explanation for communist gains underdeveloped Washingto Njong ago identified the explosion and revolution of rising exr As for political unrest in economic Call backward and Asia Are rising rapidly because the death rates falling As modern Medicine is rates Jfe main High at Levels far above those of the industrialized this makes it extremely difficult for Tiese countries to

Fertile ground for communist agitators to subvert a country National but what happens when the regime of a new asian or african country is marxist minded according to soviet scholar Jaropolk the above cited factors provide Fer tile ground for reactionary forces of the West to subvert the country National inde a candidate of economic is a senior member of the research staff at the Academy of

the Young National states which have chosen the non capitalist path of development the reactionary forces try to make use of economic diff especially food Short to discredit the ideas of socialism and to fan dissatisfaction among the the reactionaries have their Best Chance of he in those countries where there Are Over optimistic sex y be stations of Prosperity and where the leaders underestimate

the people and doubtlessly provided the background for the Domestic policy crisis which broke out in the autumn of such circumstances should apparently be taken into account in analysing Home policy events in Ghana and a number of other liberated Guze Vaty addressed him self to population problems in developing and his findings and conclusions included food needs he predicted that rapid population growth in Africa and Asia probably will continue for 20 or 30 whereas Africa and latin America annually exported 11 million tons of cereals prewar to Industrial they had to import 25 million tons in 1964 and their import needs will Rise to at least 47 million tons by the economist Quot ing Western imperialist advantage he deplored the shortage of Cap ital and food that forces Many newly liberated from colonial to turn to imperialist states for Grain and other agricultural this leads in greater or lesser degree to their losing Freedom of action in foreign he birth control he applauded decisions of Many Young nations to or Experiment birth control but he warned that such programs will fail unless they Are accompanied by Radical economic and a cultural revolution that prompts the people to abandon tribal and Feudal habits in communist answer he conceded that not even the no capitalist path can pro vide a Quick Mureall for the population Radical social and economic transformations Are the chief and indispensable requisites for solving the population but they will not necessarily solve those problems rimmed he this is Well seen in the Case of the United Arab one

strategy of the United it must be sold to president Johnson and Secre tary Mcnamara that i believe we can do even better in preparing to relate future air Force capabilities to National objectives than we have done in the air Force Secretary Harold Brown said to do we need a better Model to describe the effectiveness of air Over used in various in various circumstances and in various and i dont

the effects which we can and cannot achieve will we be equipped to say presi we can help the country achieve this heres the air Force in the 1950s by George Wilson provided the bombers needed to give substance to the massive retaliation policy of Secretary of state John Foster but in the 1960s when the communists advertised that their new strategy was wars of the defence department did not respond

probable nature of future wars ought to be better by Brown since we have behind us 20 years of experience in a nuclear armed world and a considerably higher degree of political sophistication than was generally the Case at the close of the second world Brown said the air Force must build a balanced fighter he said this should include a family each designed to do one Mission extremely Well and one
