The various soc sci's have not, so far, contributed equally to the development of peaceful cooperation through UNESCO. This is due, in part, to the fact that the sci's have varied in degree of their acceptance into the structures of the U's, &, in part, by the fact that the various sci's differ in the degree to which they can free themselves from an ideological context & concentrate on problems which are chiefly technical in nature. In this latter respect, pol'al sci is at a serious disadvantage. Tr by J. A. Broussard from IPSA.

Of all the soc sci's, pol'al sci has, to date, been the 1 that has taken the least part in the efforts of UNESCO toward peaceful cooperation. This situation impairs the study of pol'al phenomena in countries outside of Western Europe & North America & contributes to the Ideological diff's which are already reflected in the double terminology: peaceful cooperation in the West & peaceful coexistence in the East. For the attempts at internat'l cooperation of the sci'sts to become positive contributions, it will be necessary to conduct limited studies in connection with the other soc sci's (eg, studies of the admin'ive, gov'al & pol'al aspects of the effects of technical transformations) & to seek an improvement in the understanding of the actual functions of inter-gov'al org's & of internat'l aid programs.

In 1952 India presented its first five year plan. It planned measures for health, labor, dwelling, standard of living, backward classes, displaced populations, and working opportunities. The population has increased 13.4% in 10 years. Internal migration is practically non-existant, and international migration is discouraged. Planned fertility is reinforced. The present Hindoo government is trying to abolish the caste system on which the Hindu social structure is based. In 1952, labor and capital had peaceful relations. The usual drought increased the existing misery. Life expectancy is very low (27 years). The government gave up its plan to make universal certain of the customs which are being presently followed only by the most advanced parts of the population as the opposition of the orthodox Hindus was too strong. Attempts at prohibition have been unsuccessful. D. Bystryn.
