Aware of the highly charged nationalistic feelings involved in the I.P.C. case, the U.S. asked only that the junta pay Standard Oil a fair price for I.P.C.'s properties (Peru's Supreme Court had earlier set the figure at $142 million). If it does not, as the Peruvians well know, the U.S. would be forced under the provisions of the Hickenlooper Amendment to suspend its economic aid to Peru within six months after the seizure unless promising negotiations for equitable compensation are under way.

Only the grossly uninformed or narrowly bigoted critic could fail to comprehend that the armed forces have a perfectly valid need for a fair share of the time and talents of the young Americans who have been blessed with a college education...
