Formerly dreams and ideologies flowed from the advanced to the backward tries. Now the counflow is in the opposite direction. Mr. Ilnffer The advanced countries are without ardent faith: their advanced technologies and their know-boenable them to do the momentous in an unimpassioned, prosaic way. Hence those segments of the population in Western Europe and America that are in need of faith can get it principally by an identification with the goings on in Asia, Africa and Latin America. Eric Hoffer The heroes of militant students everywhere, and of ttie bl.uk power fanatics in tl is country, aie Mao, Guevara and Castro. It seems to he tiue that the more technically proficient a society becomes the less capable it is of generating faith. Where there is the necessary skill and equipment to move mountains there is no need for the faith that moves mountains. Sometimes it seems that in a large part of the world both the political and the intellectual life are being When a general takes over a government, whether in France or In Nigeria, he is following the Latin American pattern. When students take possession of a campus or fight police in the streets they are echoing and reflecting a style of life fashioned below the Rio Grande. How true is it that the strong learn moie read'ly from the weak? Most often in history it was the conquerors who learned willingly from the conquered rather than the other way around It staggers the mind how little we can do to Influence and shape deliberately nations we help and wish well.

They were at each other's throat, and foaming at the mouth, but when you listened to what they said it was as if both sides were fighting and defeating America. It is too late in the day for America to try to win anyone with words, and it is even more certain that we cannot win by giving. What than can we do?

However, the great majority of people (72 in every 100 li) the latest survey) continue to believe that our best interests lie In working closely with other nations, a belief consistently held since the o-- Second World War. This question was put to a carefully selected sample of 1,486 adults in a survey conducted Jan. 25 through 31 : i Would it be better for the United States to keep indeor pendent in world affairs would it be better for the United States to work closely with other nations? latest results and ;The trend: Ke Indtp.

In the 1967 survey only 11 percent of persons between 21 and 29 said the United States should "keep independent in world affairs." Th proportion today is 28 percent. The percentage for older persons (30 and over) has changed little since the earlier survey. One of those who favor alone is it a "going Levittown, N.Y., housewife: Whenever we try to help other countries, we get nothing in return. They need us, but we certainly dont need them. An elderly printer said: "We try to teach other people how to live, but we dont know how to live ourselves. Let's spend our time on our problems here at home. When all the views of those who express an isolationist viewpoint are analyzed, they fall into these four groups: (1) the United States is overcommitted now (Vietnam) ; (2) we should concentrate on domestic problems; (3) the United States would be better liked if we didnt meddle in the affairs of slight.

You A live unto yourself. You may not always agree with other people, but youve got to work with them. . Here are the main reasons that emerge from an analysis of the internationalist group: (1) nations need each ether to survive this is the.only road to peace; (2) a nation cannot shut itself off from the world in the modern era ; (3) the United States is a world leader other nations need our help; (4) nations ar jf,4 sofa other nations; and when we help, we get nothing in return. Among those expressing an of "internationalist point execuview is a tive from Wilmington, Del. : "The United States has most of the money, most of the power and most of the natural resources.

A key factor in the growing tide of isolationism during the last six years has been discouragement over the Vietnam war. This is clear from the results of another question asked in a January Gallup survey which shows that six in every ten Americans think we should not send troops if a situation like Vietnam were to develop in another part of the world.
