Dualism Most Striking Feature
Of Middle East, Adams Says
Dualism—modern society existing side by sice with an old culture was stressed as
the most striking characteristic of the Far East's social and economic life by Dr. Doris
Adams, assistant professor of economics.
This is an old phenomenon since it existed in the days of ancient
poor farm lands surrounded

the advanced cities, Dr. Adams told the
last night !
However, she said, this situa-[
tion is becoming even more prom-;
inent since the people of the Mid-j
die East have decided that they
want to do away with their life
of poverty. Thus it is a race
against time for the governments
of. these countries to satisfy their
inhabitants, she said.
According to Dr. Adams, there
are three main causes of the pov
erty that now exists:
• Scarcity of natural resources
• Population pressure
• Low productivity
In most of these countries, she!
said, there is little mineral ore
and the timber supply has, been
depleted. Although" there is a
large amount of fanning area
most of it is underdeveloped. -
Probably the biggest reason for
the low per-capita production is
the underdeveloped private in
vestment, she said. Since she
spent most _of her time in the
Middle East in Iraq, Dr. Adams
said this situation exists even
there although it takes in more
in revenue from the sale of oil
than it can spend.
She explained this by the
theory that the government
seems to work under— "if you
build the physical facilities, oth
er requirements such as train
ing and materials will follow
automatically." This seems to
indicate a lack of incentive, she
said.
She called the lack of incentive
also the reason for the low farm
productivity. In her questioning
of large landowners in Iraq, they
told her they gave their peasants
about 50 per cent of their profits.
But she said, “They knew how
much money was necessary to
keep each individual family alive
until the next year and it is my
hypothesis that that is what they
usually pay them.”
In this case the income is un
related to the effort put forth and
for this reason the peasants would
not give their best efforts, she
said.
Dr. Adams also stressed that
a negative incentive exists be
cause peasants believe if they
improved the land they live on,
the owner would evict them and
move his own relatives on to
the improved land.
“This fault could only be cor
rected by a tenure system such
as they have in Iran,” she said,
“so the peasant would be assured
occupancy for a certain period of
time.”
ing to do with Egypt's projected
Aswan high dam scheme, never
has been reached. Sudan's com
mand of the Nile worries the
Egyptians.
Thus, any pressure against a
largely anti-Egyptian government
might be looked upon by .Nasser
as a form of Nile water insurance.
Nasser will be willing to gamble
a good deal for such insurance.
THE DAILY COLLEGIAN STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYI VANIA
Frigid Weather
Makes Proxy's
Staff ' Punchy ' \
Think • this extended frigid
weather hasn't affected anyone?
Well unlax, because the latest
group to succumb to the State
College winter is the secretarial
staff m President Eric A. Walker’s
'office.
The floor was tittered with
tittle circular pieces of paper
that gave any nonchalant visi
tor the impression that the win
, dows had been left open during
the last snowfall.
The first explanation was thati
the secretaries were merely hav
ing a private Mardi Gras in the
office. But after much prodding,
and many querulous looks, the
truth emerged.
Early in the day Miss Eleanor
Ferguson, secretary to C. S.
Wyand, vice president for de- j
▼elopmenl, had accidently turn- j
ed the paper punch upside
down, spilling the remains of
many days of punching holes
in many official papers.
This weather is making every
one punchy.
