LATEST AMERICAN INVENTION

[The following observations, evidently inspired by recent events in the Dominican Republic, appeared in the May 5 issue of the Paris daily Le Monde under the title "Diabolus Ex Machina." The author is the rather cynical commentator Robert -Escarpit. ]

"The machine to foresee revolutions, just invented by the Americans it seems, doesn't surprise me. It's not up to me to talk up the merits of an epanastasotron (oh, for the love of Greck...).

“The time can easily be foreseen when a magnetic tape con-= taining the complete data on a country is-fed into a machine and you. instantly get a plastic package containing the number of divisions of Marines necessary to restore civil peace, along with the prefabricated dictator required to maintain democracy.

"All this is no problem for a sophisticated technique, What is difficult in a revolution is not to foresee it but to make it,"
