THE ORACLE “ASSISTING THE WORLD “Methods developed by the Institute of Inter-American Affairs, a ynit of the State De: ent, seems adaptable to the effort. to assist peoples of the world to improve their condition. The Institute now admin- isters’* ‘twenty-five progranis in sixteen countties, although its _ appropriations have been reduced from a wartime peak of $16,000,000 to $5,000,000 a year. Re- cently, an authorization extended its life for ,five years,: with authority to spend $7,000,000 a year. « The technicians and experts who serve be area rah spite a pe ts of local or anonymous é e 3 z é F on the programs new underway ‘are in, closé contact. with the administration of the gountry in which they do their work. In only two small countries does the United States pay as much as half of the funds used on a joint project. In health projects in Brazi] and Venezuela, the other coun- tries contribute as much as $20 to our $1. It is noted that when funds from this coun- try for assistance in the fields. of health, education andjfood . production were ‘te- duced, ‘after the war, the eooperating countries stepned up their. Contributions, , Outstandifig examples of successful projects include the health’ program: in Chile, the edueation program in Guate- mala and the. agricultural program in Paraguay. Only ‘four countries are now without projects—Argentina, Cuba, the Dominiean Republic and Nicaragua, The latter two are included in the four- teen requests for neW-projects but ie ea tina and Cuba have not asked for’ any assistance. bi “UNTAPPED FOOD RESERVE”: We are unimpressed by the announce- ment that a three-year study of the food content»af? plants indigenous: to Central Amerigan.countries has uncovered a. “yast untapped-oed: reserve.” 2 The ‘experts conducting the survey analyzed early one thousand samplés, representing more than two hundred kinds of food from’ plants collected in Honduras, (Guatemala, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Nicaragua and Panama, They found three common weeds that yielded ‘high ’ values for ¢aleiim, iren, the B-vitamins, thiamin’ “and: riboflavin and Vitamin ‘C. They also contaified carotene and niacin. The revelation will not satisfy the hun because, after all, what most people seek in food is taste and enjoy- ment rather than ¢hemical content and health, ti recent ‘effort at raifsmaking was postpened.on. account. of rain. j will want,fo read Herbert Hoover: Ameri- the oath of office in ‘New York and be- States, The life of the young republic was & matter of misgivings abroad and there was considerable concern in the jate colo- newly established union. together with the industry and applica- tion of our early settlers, eombined to make possible the greatest economic de- velopment that the world has‘seen. Some part of our growth can be attributed, no doubt, to the wise decision*ef the young nation, to have free trade between the several. states, . Those individyals who haye been puz- zled by sweeping change in the public’s estimate of Herbert Hoover from the low of the early 1930’s to today’s high will find the answer in David Hinshaw’s fine por- trait of Hoover, the Quaker. -This book, Herbert Hoover: Ameri- can Quaker, published by Farrar, Straus and Company, Inc. on April 10, is a swiftly moving, inclusive story of one of the few authentically great men of our time. It starts with Mr. Hoover’s modest beginnings in West Branch, Iowa and traces his amazing record down to the present moment. In this volume there emerges out of the mists of vicious partisan propaganda the true picture of a President whose frus- trated reforms were later adopted amid fanfare by the succeeding administration, The richness of fact and anecdote in this vigorously and skillfully written book could have been achieved only by one with related geographical and religious back- ground. “In this book,” writes A, T, Burch, editor of the Chicago NEWS, “the insight ‘is particularly sympathetic and true be- cause David Hinshaw is himself a generous man, patient, modest and consecrated to the service of his fellow-men,” Reader's Digest ‘editor; Stanley High, holds that “such a book as this could only have been written by a man who is both a friend of Mr. Hoover and, like Hoover, a Quaker.” According to Mr. Hinshaw’s analysis the dominant element in Mr. Hoover’s per- sonal and political life is his Quaker up- bringing. There is the key to the man’s character and record. As for Mr. Hoover’s come-back, Mr. Hinshaw states this is just not so. “He could not have come back because he has never been away. Instead the people have eome back to his spiritual and moral qual- ities.”’ If you are one who likes to see just- ice ultimately triumph and right prevail; if you would like a better understanding of our troubled times and if you long for a refreshment of your civic spirit then you can.

TESTING INVASION PLANES Some idea of the future pattern of warfare will be tested late this month in North Carolina when the largest air- borne exercise in the country’s peacetime history will center around Camp Mackall. Some 60,000 troops and 600 planes will participate in the attempt to trans- port more than 30,000 airborne and air- transported troops, 14,000 tons of equip- ment, 12,000 tons of supplies. Eight thou- sand paratroops will drop in an effort to seize an abandoned air strip to serve as an ‘airhead,” upon which carrier planes are to land reinforcements every three min- utese The manoeuyer, known as “Exercise Swarmer,” will be‘ a logistic problem — a technical application of the Berlin air- lift under mg¢k-combat conditions, The aiphead is @escribed as an “island to which everyman must be carried by air, plus every pound of-equipment and food for his existence and maintenance.” It will be a completely airborne and airtransported Army that will attempt to seize and hold the area, 4 Don’t be dumb on election day.
