Confidence Gap

Speaking of Americans’ confidence, or lack of it, in
their major institutions in general ahd business in par-
ticular, one businessman is determined to do some-
thing about it — so far as positive thinking can help, at
| y any rate.
Warren M. Pace, president and chief executive of-
. ficer of Richmond Corp., a Virginia-based financial
services company, has announced that part of his
firm’s 1974 advertising budget will be devoted to
showing that “hardship and controversy are part of
our American heritage. So is overcoming them.”
One advertisement sponsored by the company lists
119 “great and ,not-sogreat moments in American
, history,” ranging from the harsh first winter in James-
town in 1607 through all the nation’s wars and crises to
the more freshly remembered winter of the 1973
energy crisis. . ^. ^ .
The rationale behind the campaign, says Pace, is
• twofold: “First is the message itself. Each generation
of Americans has been confronted with problems and
discouragement. Today’s generation is not unique in
this respect, but there are those who would have us
believe that our nation has never faced problems of
such magnitude before. ~ x'"*v
“Equally important, we want to illustrate. that
America n business is deeply concerned over the social,
0 economic^and political difficulties facing our nation.
With its traditionally positive approach, business can
do much to counter the efforts of the purveyors of
- despair.”
Unfortunately, the “purveyors of despair” don’t,
need to dig back 366 years to come up with a list of not-
so-great moments in American history. There was a
surfeit of them in 1973 alone and this year promises no
• shortage. ' T
‘But as the message shows, Americans are not
strangers to adversity, and the pessimists have a job
cut out for themselves to prove that we have lost our
ability to overcome it.--------——-——-——

These Two Men Are
Armed, Dangerous
WASHINGTON - The
world’s two most dangerous
and irresponsible leaders, in
the opinion of worried intelli-
gence experts, are North
Korea’s Kim II Sung and
Libya’s. Maummar el-
Qaddafi.

The isolated Kim, according
to intelligence reports, is it-

War, which ended 22 years ago

logue with the South and began
making warlike moves. Intelli-
gence reports assert he has
concluded that thfe only way
Korea can be united under tys
leadership is by force.
His gunboats sank two South
' Koreai fishing boats and ab-
ducted a third. He has resumed
the standard Communist tac-
tics of fomenting class antago-
nism, consolidating anti-
government factions and
fomenting united fronts in the
South.
He is depicted in intelligence
reports as a' leader, out of
touch with the world, who
would plunge Korea into
another war, against the ad-
vice of his Soviet and Chinese
mentors. He is quite capable of
plotting a wild, daredevil inci-
dent, such as a paratrooper
attack on Seoul.
. “WE WILL render positive
assistance to the revolutionary
struggles of the South Korean
people,” Kim has proclaimed
from Pyongyang.,
But it isn’t the infiltration
and agitation that worries the
intelligence analysts. They are
far more concerned that- the

have rejected his calls for a
“peoples’ war” against; Israel
and the U.S. He is clamoring to
use the oil embargo, terrorist
attacks and other wild
measures, which his more
moderate Arab neighbors
warn could backfire.
Like Kim II Sung, Muammar
el-Qaddafi is'also capable of
irrational and irresponsible
acts.

President Park Chung Hee has

vately concede are justified, In
