students would in turn be passed on by them
to the youth of America through our educa-
tional systom. Let us assume that every uni-
versity and collego in tho United States fol-
lowed the same plan, thon few would deny tho
tromondous impact upon our country of tho thou-
sands of students thus trainod in foreign coun-
trios, It is not necessary that wo assume the
entire burden. We can only do our share and
hope that other schools and colleges do as woll,.

Se It is difficult to provo that the exchange of
studonts with other countriocs has had substan-
tial bonofit. Thorough investigation would, I
am sure, show that tho hundreds of students
from Moxico and South Amorica, who have been
trained.in our univorsitics, have contributed
enormously to the Good Neighbor Program in
thoso countries, It must be romomberod also
that the program was not seasoned by age, It
would tako at loast twenty years for students
to reach maturity and positions of influoneso
in their own countrics, and the constant addi-
tion © to tho number of trainod men in foreign
countrics who have boon educatod in the United
States and know and respoct our institutions
must inevitably benefit international relations.
Everyone who reads this memorandum must have
folt tho influonce of some of tho Rhodes scholars
or othors who have recoived a part of thoir odu-
cation in foreign countrios,.

The writer can think of a half dozon such men
who are influontial in thoir schools or commnun-
ities and have contributod to an understanding
of intornational relations.

It should also bo fundamental that the scholar-
ships should not bo of a tochnical nature, such
ag in scionce, onginocring or medicine, as such
training is more strictly for the bonefit of tho
individual in a narrow field. The scholarships
should seok to train the students from abroad
and from this country in the culture of tho Na-
tion in which tho studonts study.

Attached is a fanciful soono which delineates what might
happen if this plan is adoptod,
