United States in the post-Vietnam world. American policy in recent months has saved from failure the first step toward peace First it is clear that all that had been accomplished by President Sadat's trip to Israel in the Middle East; it has opened up full relations with the most populous nation in in Dec~mber, 1977, and in the Camp David meetings last autumn was in danger of the world; it has completed and obtained ratification of a Panama Canal treaty which going down the drain, leaving the Middle East in worse shape than before the hopes for - although attacked by the super-patriots - may be said to have prevented a total peace were aroused. collapse long-lasting embitterment of U.S. relations with Latin America. The two major nations involved, Egypt and Israel, now have agreed to the terms of I believe President Carter's low-key reaction to the stiff un-hostlike criticisms of peace. They have adopted a framework by which the urgent additional elements for Ptesident Lopez Portillo in Mexico has helped put U.S. - Mexican relations on a better peace may be sought.

It seems to be agreed that energy policy has been the President Carter presents an image of quieb1ess which sometimes may not do justice greatest disappointment of the Carter Administration. Soon the President will tell us to the real strength of his policies. He seems to be vacillating and changing. So he is, where things stand, perhaps proposing new and drastic measures to cope with the but sometimes the changes are to abandon previous mistakes - which is a sign of inexcusable expansion of our dependence on imported oil. strength - and to feel the way through uncharted waters and untried policies. Mr. President Carter has great opportunity to lead the nation, and to continue the Carter and his advisors have had a lot to learn. They have made mistakes.

Should he have tried to force peace terms down the throats of vying for the chance to oppose him. A President in office has great advantages and either side? Anybody who thinks this would have worked just does not understand great vulnerability. I would suggest that President Carter's future, and to some degree conditions in a world of nuclear. armament. the well being of the United States, is in his hands. Whatever his personal prospects, I am suggesting, despite radical Arab rhetoric, the United States and its President we all have an interest in the national well being and if he succeeds most of us ought emerge with credit from this episode. Moreover, I do not believe President Carter or to be grateful. the United States can be fairly blamed for the loss of Iran as an ally and oil supplier. Perhaps the American government and American business were too friendly with the Shah. But that policy goes back to all American Presidents since the late Shah came to the throne. Support of the Shah, at least moderate support, could be credibly defended. It is argued that his troubles should have been recognized earlier and the American government have pulled back. That is easier said than done. It isn't easy to walk out on your friends. There are nuances - small details - of support which might have been improved, but they are not really fundamental. We may have spoken too Knowing You nicely to the Shah a bit too long; we may have been too generous with Premier Bakhtiar. The United States has taken its medicine in Iran with reasonable dignity.

Dear Editor: Dear Editor: Last week, Mrs. Agnes McPhetres has some interesting comments to say about why The rationale behind Governor Camacho's action when he vetoed the scholarship we must all sign the petiiton to place the casino gambling law on this ballot this bill , 1-135 has compelled me to register my deep concern to Northern Marianas students abroad who are presently attending an institutions of higher learning. November. The Governor should know damn well about the whole financial situation that is Before this calm weather reaches storm proportions, please permit me to raise a facing our students abroad. He is totally committed as Governor to ensure that number of issues for the benefit of all concerns. It scholarship funds are made available to accommodate these students. It is indeed so is regrettable that Mrs. McPhetres chooses to ignore the unbearable fact that the depres.sing to learn that the Governor has for the second time chose to ignore such economy of the Commonwealth is grossly imbalanced not by choice; but because it has intentionally been kept that way by the administering authority for the last three indispensable bill. decades. The U.S. has never had any economy policy for the islands all these years. If Evidently, let me remind the Governor that the work study hours for our students it did, then those policies (incompetent and irrelevant as they are) have been shelved in at the University of Guam have been reduced for the fact that our students are Washington, D.C. gathering dust. So someone has ripped-off the federal government receiving local grants from the respective Municipalities in the Commonwealth. and necessarily the people of the Northern Marianas. Furthermore, the Governor is fully aware of the availability of Federal Grants, but Fisheries and agricult~re as alternatives to casino gambling? It should be known by not all of our students are eligible for such grants. In addition, the release of Basic now that for 30 years the agricultural sector of the economy has suffered long years of Educational Opportunity Grant (BEOG) checks normally comes out near the end of gross neglect. People in the streets are puzzled and question why imported food items the semester. are a lot cheaper than those locally produced. We have yet to realistically admit that I am sure the Governor will agree that what our students on Guam is now we cannot compete with developed nations because for decades we have stuck it with experiencing is also true to our students in Hawaii and the U.S. mainland. Knowing our primitive and poverty inducing-methods of agriculture. these facts, I wonder who the Governor is trying to fool. Harvard Professor of Economics, John Kenneth Galbraith, once said that developing It is imperative that the Governor realizes the mechanism and magnitude in areas have now begun to realize that the obvious answer to economic advance "has not considering the ill financial burden of our deserving students abroad. Governor, did seemed to be increased agricultural income and ainenity. They are only palliatives. you forget during the Gubernatorial campaign when you promised your constituents Agricultural development in this view, is primitive, even reactionary.

I believe our Legislators took an intelligent action when they passed Fisheries is another long neglected sector.

But Japan does not extend these aids to developing areas who are under the commend those Legislators who supported the passage of bill 1-135 and at the same jurisdiction of another sovereign nation. It only helps those who are bound to achieve time urge the Governor to reconsider his action. Until then, the students are being political independence as is the case of the Federated States of Micronesia, Palau and hindered for such financial burden. the Marshalls.
