From Political Defense to World Leadership

Abstract

Certain problems of the modern world--such as widespread hunger and underdevelopment--are perhaps theoretically more important than the East-West conflict, and surely more of an inspiration to young Westerners who are anxious to contribute their share to a better standard of living for mankind. Moreover, in the struggle against communism we face a deadlock. Actions against economic and social backwardness require immediate measures in several fields: more investments, better vocational training, stabilization of prices of tropical products and raw materials, etc. On the one hand, there seems to exist a guardian duty to be patiently performed. On the other, there appears a multiplicity of concrete tasks to be fulfilled.
