SCIENTIFIC MANPOWER FOR THE LESS-DEVELOPED COUNTRIES

Abstract

To stimulate agri'al growth through the application of sci is a key problem of econ development. Numberless cultivators must be reached by-& must accept-integrated programs which include a range of services & commitments from technical advice to market assurances. Properly to aid cultivators requires enormous numbers of trained men & women who must essentially be local citizens rooted in their country's culture & problems. Even so, the US can & should make an increased but more selective effort to help. The scope & complexity of the task together with the need to reach cultivators with all essential services recommend concentration in selected areas with long term programs. The necessary emphasis upon the application of sci makes educ'al institutions obvious instruments of this national policy, but they require long-term commitments with adequate financial help & a large amount of responsible freedom.
