Plain Talk By President Kennedy One o- ýf th- quiet reVolutions Xolng on in Washî,.ngton. is the reorentaionof the State7ý De- p)artment to a new world. Now there are 3,800 Foreign Sîervice off icers and a total of almost 24,000 people in "State." ThsnushroDoming growth camne because the United States h-ad PO fîli a Power vacuum after World War Il t ha t extended deep into Asia and Africa as the European colonial pow,ers withdrew. W it h nie ,wresponsibilities vralues are sh-ifting. The depart- ment has growýýn so that first rate a dministra tors are in con- tinuing demnand. An-d the wh,--ole pace h as incrýea, sed with added world responsibiity sittirig In the lap 0f the- United States. President Kennedy gave a speech in M1ay to the Amnerîcan F>reigni Serv-i ce Association. It was recently released to the White H1ouse corps by press se- cretary Pierre Salinger - a xiove to empirhasize its impor- tanace. What the President does is to rccognize the shift in American reasponibi lity ïn the world and ite impac"t on the State Depart- ment,. He is forth-right, at tim.es ý-hnwost blunt. Today, he said, "is the golden perlod 0of the For'eign Service" - not the days before Wor]d War 11, Hie drew the parallel viv,ýidly: 'remnember wat Ambassador Dawes said, that the job was,;ý hard on the f eet and ea.-y on the brain. The-odoýre Roosevelt talk- ed about, tho--se whr, resided in theý Foreign Service rather thian worlcilng in it. "ýWe were an soaioia oun- *ry, by tradition and by poliey anid by statuite. And there'fore th'>se of you who lived in the Foreign Service led a rather iso- lated life, dealing wîth compar- ttvely few -people, uninvolvedi in the affairà of this country," But this is the "great period *f the F'oreigP Service" and 4now you have to involve your- welves la ever-y eleinieft of for- eign life-labor, the class stru- Ile, cultural affairs and al the rL>st - atteynptirig to prediet in .vhat direction the forces will move." More, he- rer-ninded the dipla>- mats that today any cretent Foreýgn S erv ic e off icer mrust knw ail about the United States, every facet of its hif e ahi the great yreforms,ý of the thiirtLies, the forties, andi the, fifties.» Whiat the Pj:esident was say- ing, is that the liffe of an Aineri- can dfiplomat is neither simple nor easy. The world has chang- ed irreversibly. 0f thîs changing world he said "ýyou just have te Put up with it. Those who caninot stand the heat should get out of the kit- c-heni." It happens that on, July 1, 212 officers left "Sta2te," inciuding 107 in the four hlihest gradies. and 17 with the rank of ministel' or ambassador. This resigna- tion was "forced" by an attrac- tive retiremrent b O n uS. Many of those who left were brilliant and hard to replace. Buùt the act wiîl in future make it possible for the best 0f tth- youngli ermento move forw,,arà5 rapidly. Both the President andci Secretary of State Dean Rusk have long wantedi to retire somec foreigni service ve3terans and iît is ilow done gracefully, writes Rtobert E. Bruan lai the Chiristianà Science Monitor. Whihe he was at it, the PreSi- dent spoke up to expdain that American diplomats must uln- derstand the difficuity of their position, at home, ofte f inding tlwmnselves in security cOntro,- versies. For that, said h le: "You havâ toy recognize that ultimatehy you wiil be subjec-ted, as an institu- tion, to the criticismns of the uni- informed, and to attacks which-. are in mnany cases mnaiicious anid ,M n ariy cases self -servi ng. Buàt tither you have to be able to puýt up with it, or you have to pick a.more secluded s!p>Ot." He must have grinned whien he then said, "Personally, 1, thînk the place to be is in the kitchen, and I arn sure the For- eign Service offcer3 0f th& United States f eel thIle same way."ý Letting go wîlh both barrels, l the President emphasized tilaf the elephantine- size of the St3te Department is stili "no excusei for bureaicraely," A rather stahe metaphor around Washington is that State is a "sponge," fori- less and indecisive. What the President wants las ~to have policy cleared in the de-', partment "with more ,speed." He acknowledged on top 0 1$I garguantuan job of offen tiav- 1~ ing to check with the CIA, fle-,< f ense, the White House, Trea- sury, Commerce, a.nd the Con- gre-ss. Ail in ail thie State Depart- ment has beeýn given a gentle remninder thatu its revolutioný must be conisolidated.

Personally, althougis we love iie scenery, we prefer to be nearer civilization. ýIe home that we visîted was even farther out - several Miles fron the nearest Town and of course in wvinter there are fer- rific storros which sometimes inake shopping quite a problem. We love the country but is if necessary f0 go so far ouf? How- ever, everyone to his faste. We enjoyed our day espccia!Ily as the- roads were parficularly good1. Acfually no construction work in proýgress. Wonder of wonders!
