...ROCT is under attack at Harvard now because a small group of student extremists--a tiny minority of the student body--have played upon the inherent anti-war sentiment shared by a majority of peace-living, traditionally isolationist Americans. The Vietnam war, grievous to virtually all of us, is the immediate source of their blanket denunciation of everything related to the military. They offer no alternatives when they propose destruction of the nation's armed forces. (Let it be understood beyond question that there is as present no acceptable alternate source of junior officer leadership if ROTC is driven from...
...program. The Army needs 18,000 new 2nd lieutenants each year to meet normal attrition. We met that goal last year and expect to meet it again this year. For some years before that, we had serious shortfalls. There is little question that the current wave of anti-ROTC sentiment, unless reversed by exemplary action on the part of ROTC host institutions, will have serious impact upon ROTC production figures in the immediate future...
During the course of this fall, a number of students have expressed the sentiment that the Campaign to abolish ROTC was at best quixotic, and perhaps even disruptive in intent.

The Unionist Party monopolized the central government at Storemont from the first, and it has kept power-including voting power-in the hands of the Protestant haves. Businessmen, for example, command up to six votes each in local elections. Nor do the burdens of a chronically weak economy fall equally: unemployment in some Catholic areas runs as high...
Though the nation faces serious difficulties in foreign trade, President Johnson last week again deplored protectionist sentiment in the U.S. "The only real solutions are ones that improve our economy-not ones that erect new barriers that could provoke retaliation," he told Congress. To help strengthen the U.S. dollar, he also asked for continued controls on private investment abroad. Nixon is likely to keep those controls in force...
