Its time haseo me
SEN. EVERETT DIRKSEN once said of the 1964 Civil
Rights act that "nothing is so powerful as an idea
whose time had come." It is evident that this was the
same force that last Wednesday produced congressional
action on the 18 year old vote.
A measure that would have lowered the voting age
in Oregon there was defeated overwhelmingly last month;
in other primaries around the country, candidates with
strong student support have faired poorly; and yet, poli-
ticians from the President on down continued to voice
their support for a drop in the minimum voting age.
From a politician's point of view. a lower minimum
voting age is attractive because it allows youth an oppor-
tunity to work directly within the system, hereby remov-
ing some of the causes of their deep resentment.
TE TRADITIONAL argument in defense of such a
measure has been the proverbial "old enough to fight,
old enough to vote."
But a more important reason is that like the blacks,
students have felt the "system" unresponsive and com-
pletely separated from themselves. In retaliation, they
have .taken to the streets. With the coming of black may-
ors, the black minority has found a new hope in America.
Though their problems are still present, a feeling of
participation is gradually overtaking them. Whether their
sense of belonging can continue remains to be seen. A
voting bloc of students could likewise produce a sense of
democracy in an individual.
Just how the young and the black take to joining the
"establishment" is irrelevant. Whether or not they are
pleased with their newly found power is not the point.
What matters is that these citizens are given what other
citizens have had for years. It is not an issue to be de-
bated. It is a vital brace in an ethical code that has re-
mained unfastened for far too long.
IF THIS COUNTRY truly intends to be a democracy it
must allow all groups to vote.
What is unfortunate is the need for this action to be
taken in Congress. Voting laws are the constitutional
rights of the states, and the probability that the Supreme
Court will strike down this measure are good.
In order to insure an 18-year-old vote, passage of
laws lowering voting age should be of prime importance
in the state -legislatures. Not because it would be to their
advantage, but because the concepts of democracy leave
them no other choice. Up until now political pressure,
and apathy has kept them from acting, but the time has
come for enfranchising youth.
-BILL ALTERMAN
N!GHT EDITOR: ROBERT KRAFTOWITZ

By STEVE WEISSMAN
(EDITOR'S NOTE: The following
is reprinted with permission of
Ramparts Magazine.)
lN JUNE 1952, John D. Rockefel-
ler III, chairman of the -Rocke-
feller Foundation, hosted a highly
select conference of some 30 of the
nation's most eminent conserva-
tionists, public health experts,
Planned Parenthood leaders, agri-
culturalists, demographers and so-
cial scientists. After two and a
half days of intensive discussion,
they agreed to form a new group
which could act as "a coordinat-
ing and catalytic agent in the
broad field of population." The
following fall, John D. publicly
christened The Population Coun-
cil.
In the decades previous, birth
control had been largely small po-
tatoes. The Rockefeller Founda-
tion, otgether with the Milbank
Memorial Fund, had, in 1936, lyo-
vided Princeton with an Office
of Population Research. Mississip-
pi, Louisiana, Georgia, Florida and
the Carolinas pioneered programs
for the (sometimes voluntary)
sterilization of the poor.
ONCE THE Rockefellers became
interested, however, family plan-
ning became a very different kind
of business. The Ford Foundation,
Carnegie, the Commonwealth and
Community Funds, the Mott Trust
and the Mellons pumped fresh
blood and money into the Popula-
tion Council, some of which even
trickled over into the Reference
Bureau and Planned Parenthood.
The World Bank put its money
behind Princeton's pioneer study
on population and e c o n o m i c
growth in India. Where birth con-
trollers once went begging, now
guest lists at Planned Parenthood
banquets and signatures on unbi-
quitous New York Times ads read
like a cross between the Social
Register and Standard and Poor's
Directory of Corporation Execu-
tives.
THIS SUDDEN interest of the
world's rich in the world's poor,
whatever the humanitarian im-
pulse, made good dollars and
cents. World War II had exhaust-
ed the older colonial empires, and
everywhere the cry of nationalism
sounded: from Communists in
China and Southeast Asia, from
neutralists in Indonesia and India,
from independence movements in
Africa and from economic nation-
alists in Latin America..
But the doughty old buzzards of
empire were determined to save
the species. They would pay defer-
ence to the new feelings by en-
couraging a bit of light industry
here, and perhaps even a steel
mill there. To give the underde-
veloped areas what Nelson Rocke-
feller termed "a community of in-
terest with us," and to extend
control, they would give public

loans and foreign aid for roads,
dams, and schools. Their founda-
tions and universities would train
a new class of native managers
who, freed from outmoded ideolo-
gies, would clearly see' that there
was more than enough for both
rich and poor.
But there wasn't enough, espe-
cially not when the post-war ex-
port of death-control technology
created so many more of the poor.
The poor nations r a r e 1 y came
close to providing even the limited
economic security which w o u l d
encourage people to give up the
traditional peasant security of a
large family anti permit the popu-
lation curve to level off.
In fact, for much of the popula-
tion, the newly-expanded money
economy actually increased inse-
curity. Faced with this distortion
between fertility and development,
developed country elites could see
no natural way of stopping popu-
lation growth. All they could see.
was people, people, people, each
one threatening the hard-won
stability which guaranteed access
to the world's ores and oil, each'
one an additional competitor for
the use of limited resources.
- More people, moreover, meant
younger people, gunpowder for
more than a mere population ex-
plosion. And as reported in the
Rockefeller Fund's overpowering
Prospect for America, "In a com-
pletely youthful population, impa-
tience to realize rising expecta-
tions is likely to be pronounced.
Extreme nationalism has often
been the result."
FOR ALL THEIR domestic con-
cern, however, population plan-
ners were primarily absorbed in
"the international dilemma" and
the problems of "economic devel-

opment." They .emphasized top-
down national planning, Western-
influenced elites, foreign aid pene-
tration, and the use of economic
growth, rather than distribution
and welfare, to measure develop-
ment.
The New look in intervention
got a good test in the Indian
famine of 1965 and 1966.
In 1958, India faced a devastat-
ing foreign exchange crisis. In re-
sponse, the World Bank and the
"Aid India Club" promised one
billion dollars a year in aid, and
international- i n v e s t o r s found
themselves with golden opportuni-
ties. The Ford Foundation quickly
stepped in with a "food crisis'
team of experts, which pushed
India's planners into increased
agricultural spending, ultimately
at the expense of planned invest-
ments in housing and other-social
services.
B U T WESTERN PRESSURE
was of little avail until the failure
of the summer monsoons in 1965.
Then, in the words of the World
Bank's Pearso. Report, "Instead
of signing annual or multiyear
(food) sales agreements, as with
other countries and with India
itself, in earlier years, the United
States doled out food aid a few
months at a time as policy con-
ditions were agreed upon."
India, faced with a short leash
on food supplies, acceded to the
foreign pressures. : "Call them
'strings,' call them 'conditions,' or
whatever one likes," boasted the
New York Times, "India has lit-
tle choice now but to agree to
many of the terms that the United
States, through the World Bank,
is putting on its aid. For India
simply has nowhere e 1 s e to
turn."

Letters to the Editor

Oh mercy me
To the Editor:
RE: Use of the term FRISBEE
in "Rites of Spring in Ann Arbor"
(Daily, April 9).
If this had happened years agd,
we'd have taken an 'Aspirin, dried
our tears with a Kleenex and
paced the Linoleum floor.
But because people kept on put-
ting a slash bar through those
registered trademarks, the manu-
facturers were stripped of their
rights. The words were lower cased
and exploited by competitors and
imitators.
We didn't want that to happen
to us. We thought of emulating
Rosten's Hyman Kaplan, and.
sektding out releases about our
H*U*L*A H*O*O*P F*R*I*S-
B*E*E.I

However, we were afraid if we
did that, the poor linotype opera-
tors would wind up with a bad
case of Frisbee Finger, reaching
so frequently for the asterick
key.
Seriously, Frisbee is a Wham-O
Manufacturing Company register-
ed trademark (Registration No.
679-186). The proper reference to
our product is Frisbee (R).
To paraphrase Mr. Franklin P.
Adams' famous poem:
"These are the saddest of pos-
sible words - aspirin, cellophane
and linoleum."
Please don't add us to that list.
Thank you from the bottom of
our registered trademark.
