One of the best ways to fend off future revolutions in the Do minican Republic is through ag ricultural progress, a U. S. Agen cy for International Development official said here this week. Alexander Firfer, AID pro grams director in the Dominican Republic and speaker at a meet ing of Texas A&M University of ficials and staff members, said there is a need to alter the so ciety of that Caribbean country so that “pressure for violent change is calmed down.” Agricultural improvement, he said, appears to be an effective basic approach to the problem, especially in correcting the cur rent balance of payments deficit. Firfer visited A&M to consult with such officials as Dr. R. E. Patterson, director of the Texas Agricultural Experiment Station, and Dr. M. T. Harrington, Dr. Jack Gray and Bill Beach of the Office of International Programs. A&M University is assisting the AID’s Dominican Republic mission by providing about 33 specialists to advise that coun try’s government on general ag ricultural improvement. The spe cialists also help organize agri cultural research programs, ex tension activities and training. Firfer said the Dominican Re. public has three broad probta areas: Financial resources, de velopment of natural resources, and critical groups in the society which can destroy AID efforts. The solution to the financial problem, he said, is not to fire government officials and workers to save money. This only creates dissension and more trouble. “Instead, we must talk the Do- minican Republic into restructur ing its financial resources,” tke AID official explained. The Republic now has a deficit of about $75 million per year in balance of payments, he said, ani agriculture is a solid approadi to righting the situation. 1 The Dominican Republic’s agri cultural potential is favorable, Firfer pointed out. The soil is fertile and the climate is friendly, What is needed is new and bet ter commodities which can be produced for local consunjptioifc and for export. “If we can succeed in agricul ture, we can correct the balance of payments problem in just few years. This is why A&M's work there is so essential,” Firfer emphasized. Dr. R. E. Patterson, left, and Alexander Firfer WHATABURGER 1101 S.
