RS 1 CCS 4 LOWLANDER. ST Te OME eats TTT HE MG «mae Rea PAGE 2 AITIEI TC ALWhen Burma's U Thant recently accepted the office of U.N, Secretary the General, public felt somewhat skeptical of this unknown man's policies and platforn,. Ao Mr. Thant offered his acceptance speech in a United Nations conference, the attending public altered their rash opinions of him. It was not expecially what he said, but the fact that he spoke in Snglish, People concluded that if he spoke as we do, he must think as we do, in terms of democracy. Had he spoken in Butmese, people would have been suspicious of a foreign tongue, and would not have been so comfortable about the welfare of the United Nations,. For over half a century Russia has trained her people linguistically. They can spread their propaganda over the entire world by speaking the native tongue of the people they so cunningly convince. With modern means of transportation, our world has ‘shrunken,’ Everyday Americans have the opportunity and obligation to spread their concepts of a free government, But, they will never be able to do so if they subsiss in linquistic ignorance. American people are as the tongue tied salesman, and if they remain as such they will not be able to cope with the U.S.S.R. in selling governmental policies. If America cannot e ect the closeness and impressiveness of speaking in the native tongue of the people she seeks to convince, she will never achieve her goal of freedom and world peace. .
