Boulding Explains 'Academic' Role Of Peace Researcher
Continued From Tare

"How many steps are there
between the private in Vietnam
who knows what's happening and
President Johnson?" he asked.
Moulding went on to describe
what he feels is a further corruption of America, the acquisition of power.
"Anybody in the position of
power is more mentally ill than
anyone not holding it. Anyone
who wants power is mentally
ill. A man has to be crazy to
want to be a college president."
He substantiated his argument, calling attention to great
economic and social achievements made by the
holders of the world, namely
Japan, Sweden, Iceland, and
others.
Yet, he sees the world as
essentially moving out of the
power worship situation, moving out of "the age of civilization, which was a deplorable
age," he said.
"For the last 300 years we
have entered into a new evolutionary year." (Social evolution, he said, is "the process
of increasing knowledge where
social progress produces more
knowledge than is consumed.")
This new evolutionary year,
as he calls it, has rendered violence obsolete and was brought
into being by the testing and
sampling scientific method.
"Exploitation of man has become obsolete. Imperialism is
obsolete. Violence is obsolete.
And being a great power is for
the birds."
A man interested in the effect of "disaster," Dr. Boulding
called the best thing in economic
development a "thorough military defeat." He points tojapan,
where he says that after defeat
an entire system has been
changed. "Children are twice as
rich as their parents. Just think
what you can do with science
and technology when you aren't
a great power."
Working from that basis,
Boulding outlines four phases:
1. Stable war;
non-pow-

Unstable war;
Unstable peace;
Stable peace;
The degree of intensity toward
stable war, he said, is the level
of the threat system whore
"armed forces arc not intended
to be used except essentially as
a threat. Yet, he noted, a stable
threat system cannot exist since
threats must be reinforced or
will suffer depreciation. "There
must be a positive probability
that they will be carried out."
"It is a hopeless illusion that
the present international system
can exist. It's bound to meet
destruction."
The only alternative to destruction as the reinforcement to
threat, he claims, is the tendency
toward "warmth in the international system" achieved
through various cultural exchanges and "expressions of affections.
"We have a stable peace in
parts of the international system.
Anything that exists is possible,"
he quipped philosophically.

norm to the state of an unstable

"If you want to avoid the

After all, it's just like slavery."

The Guam Conference
in reaching the conference table,"
the decision at Guam seems to be
further escalation of the war in
Vietnam. President Johnson has
realized that the present military
strategy could involve the U.S. in
a war for another decade or two
before there could be any decisive

President Johnson, in a press
conference in Washington following his recent trip to Guam,
described the present time as a
"favorable turning point" in the
war in Vietnam. But little evidence has been forthcoming from
the conference, in which Johnson
spoke to South Vietnamese Premier Nguyen Cao Ky and Chief
of State Nguyen Van Thieu, to
support this statement.
With the disclosure Tuesday
that the President had written personally to Ho Chi Minh to propose peace talks and that he had
been flatly refused, it became more
and more apparent that the United
States must at least cease the bombing of North Vietnam before such
talks can come about.
One chance to bring matters to
the negotiation table was probably ruined by the U.S. when
President Johnson ordered a renewal of the bombing after temporarily extending the bombing
pause beyond the Tet cease fire. It
was at that time that U.N. SecretU Thant said, "If
