...clamorous antiwar faction. On Viet Nam, their testimony in all but accent virtually echoed Lyndon Johnson. The conflict is not a civil war, as Fulbright and many other liberals like to think, said Harvard Historian John K. Fairbank, but rather the current arena for what may be a longterm, historical struggle between the U.S. and China. He reasoned that the Communists must be stopped in their attempt to take over South Viet Nam, which he regards as their testing ground for other potential "wars of liberation" in under-developed countries. "There has to be a struggle," he said. "The Chinese...
...most, there are 600,000 married men with families in the U.S. who can be classed as longterm, hard-core cases of unemployment. Though the commonly cited figure for the jobless is nearly 5,000,000, among them are close to 1,000,000 youths under 24, more than 2,000,000 "short-term" jobless and many others who are seeking only part-time work...
...capitalize on it by charging Park with "a sellout policy with too many concessions." Although the treaty does concede to Japan access to rich fishing waters inside the former limit set by Syngman Rhee, it also provides for Japanese payment of $300 million in reparations, $200 million in longterm, low-interest loans-and the promise of vast new markets that may do much to ease South Korea's 10% unemployment.

Staley had tried the same thing in 1959, 1961 and 1962 and failed; as soon as prices climbed slightly because of the boycott, profit-smelling non-N.F.O. farmers had rushed in to take advantage of the rise...
...Power & Homes. The bank was set up in 1960 to step in where private banks and other international lending institutions feared to tread. Under its able and imaginative president, Felipe Herrera, 41, a Chilean economist, el BID has granted longterm, low-interest loans for hydroelectric power in such marginal-risk areas as Guatemala and Paraguay. About 35% of its loans are for agricultural projects, which often get a cool reception from international bankers. Last year the Mexican government received $30.5 million to reclaim and settle 130,000 desolate acres in the southeastern state of Tabasco, while Venezuela and the Dominican...
