But the Department's tutorial program, as it now exists, only adds to the aggravation.

Spokesmen for both political parties recognize the need for better housing, broader educational opportunity, more effective health insurance, elimination of racial and religious discrimination, freer foreign trade, the continuing responsibility of the U.S. to share its wealth and technical prowess with the underdeveloped nations of the world.
