handle is hein.cow/anamacp0335 and id is 1 raw text is: Why? By JOHN F. MELBY ABSTRACT: Probably no part of the over-all American for- eign aid program is as little known as is the international ex- change of persons program. Appropriations for this program are only a pittance as compared with those for military and economic aid. Opposition to the program arises from apathy or the wistful hope that military and economic measures alone will solve the problems of the world. There is, however, an increasing awareness that all the tools and instruments will ac- complish little without the skills and knowledge to use them. The underdeveloped countries of the world recognize this in their insistent demands for education at any price. There is more to the need for education than skills. Only through the elimination of ignorance can the mind of man be freed. The free mind and the dignity of human personality must be the ultimate objectives of all our efforts. John F. Melby, Ph.D., Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, is Director of Foreign Students and Lecturer in Political Science at the University of Pennsylvania. He received his doc- torate from the University of Chicago. He was a U. S. Foreign Service Officer, 1937- 1953, in Latin America, the Soviet Union, and the Far East; Acting Director, Office of War Information, Moscow, 1944; Director, United States Education Foundation (Ful- bright) in China, 1948; Chairman, Joint State-Defense Military Assistance Mission to Southeast Asia, 1950. He is Executive Vice-President of the National Council on Asian Affairs. He is coauthor of Looking Glass for Americans: A Study of the Foreign Stu- dents at the University of Pennsylvania (1960).
