"This will not end our responsibility for improving
medical research, and providing more hospitals and
better medical education.”
Natural resources: "For some years we have
neglected development of our natural resources water,
power, timber, land. In 15 years there will be 230
million Americans, and we cannot afford to allow our
natural resources to dwindle further. In 15 years we
will need twice as much water as we do now, three times
as much power, and millions more acres devoted to
wildlife, recreation, and growing timbcrland.
"Today 40 million Americans are on the edge of a
serious water shortage and water tables are falling
almost everywhere. Today nearly every major waterway
in the United States is polluted.
"We must return to the traditions of Theodore
Roosevelt and Franklin Roosevelt anti rebuild our natu
ral resources.”

Improving our Foi*cigr» Service: One
of our great strategic deficiencies has been ignorance of
foreign languages.
"In 1959, seventy per cent of all new Foreign Service
Officers had no language skills whatsoever. How can we
understand other peoples, or help them understand us.
if we can't understand their language?
“He must be rfprenfiited abroad by our best people,
and they must know languages other than their own.
Ind we must develop technicians needed to work with
the peoples of underdeveloped lands, outside normal
diplomatic channels. By technicians I mean engi
neers, doctors, teachers, agricultural experts, special
ists in late, labor, national finance, civil service.
"We must help the new countries rise to a level from
which their people can laugh at Communism.
"I therefore propose formation of a 'peace corps' of
talented young men willing to serve their country, as
technicians, for three years as an alternative to peace
time selective service. They must be qualified through
rigorous standards, and trained in the language, skills,
and customs of the country where they will serve.”
+ Was ten the total number of our problems? "By no
means,” said the President-elect. "Ten was simply a
round figure, a beginning. As these ten all monu
mental are solved, others will rise.
"For we live in an exciting time,” he said. "A time
of unlimited danger, and yet of unlimited hope. That
is the challenge we face.”
See next week: One of the hottest problems the new
Administration faces is the financial one: balance of
payments abroad, the budget and inflation. For a solution
