U.S. must decide foreign policies, panel said
By JOHN GILLIE Kansan Staff Writer
Even if the new President can solve the Vietnam dilemma, he will face explosive foreign policy crises in other countries, a panel of five political scientists agreed at a forum last night in the Kansas Union.
The forum was the first major event in KU's National Affairs Week which began yesterday.
Malcolm Barnett, professor of political science, told the 50 persons at the forum that the new administration will have to choose a new policy for Western Europe.
"First, the United States will have to answer the question 'Where shall we draw boundaries in Europe?' and second, 'How much are we willing to devote to defend our position in Europe?'," Barnett said.
Barnett emphasized that the new foreign policy must take a definite stand on Europe. European nations will demand a clear stand that the United States will protect them or get out.
The ability to recognize real social reform in a country will be a requisite for the success of American policy in South America, contended Robert Tomasek, professor of political science and the panel's expert on Latin America.
Tomasek said that the United States will have to stop pouring foreign aid funds into the hands

of any government friendly to U.S. interests and concentrate on helping those which are genuinely interested in social and economic reform.
Grits are a good substitute for rice or noodles with seafood in sauce or creamed chicken. Add $1\frac{1}{4}$ teaspoon of salt to 5 cups of water. Bring to boil; slowly stir in $1\frac{3}{4}$ cups of enriched white hominy quick grits. Cover and cook $2\frac{1}{2}$ to 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in $\frac{1}{2}$ cup of chopped green pepper and 2 tablespoons of chopped pimiento. Pour into greased 8-inch ring mold and let stand 20 to 25 minutes. Unmold onto plate and fill center.
A revitalized and better-funded Alliance for Progress will be an important concern of any new American policy team, Tomeasek said.
Southern Africa may soon erupt into open war between the native populations and the white leadership, warned Roger Kanet, professor of political science. He said the new administration would be wise to steer clear of any involvement in Africa.
"If you want to see a big mess, then become directly involved in Nigeria or Angola," Kanet told the group. The United States could not hope to change the policies of any of the white governments without direct intervention, Kanet said.
Kanet saw little hope for a true democracy amont the underdeveloped African states and he advocated that the United States should support authoritarian regimes which brought progress to the nations. He explained that if the government supplies economic demands, need for food and education, and some sort of semblance of representation, the United States should lend this government its support and aid.
Kanet also spoke of the position of the United States in Eastern Europe. He envisioned "a continued attempt by the Soviet Union to maintain their influence, including the use of military force in other bloc countries." Again Kanet suggested the new administration can and should probably do nothing to stop the Soviet efforts.
Speaking on Southeast Asia, Carl Lande, professor of political science, said that the most crucial problem to face any new president will be the "loss of heart and will of the American people to maintain an interest in the countries of Southeast Asia."
Lande said the countries of Southeast Asia are vulnerable to insurgency because of peasant disaffection to the governments.
Lande urged that the United States train the military forces of these nations and that the United States encourage and defend countries which maintain a kind of Asian "law and order." Lande said he did not adu-
Lande said he did not advocate totalitarian governments
but that strong and effective government was the answer to the woes of the countries of Asia.
