Our Unique Revolution
From the earliest days of our his-
tory, we have felt a kinship for other
peoples struggling for independence.
More than that, we have believed we
could serve as something ‘of a model
lor them. ■ ,
Consequently we have been piiz-
zlejJ-fhat, m the last 15 years, so few
among the many emerging nations of
Asia and Africa have taken us for an
exam pie..
. Now a) Vassar history professor,
Carl X. Degler, vigorously questions
whether “we can find useful parallels
between our remarkable story and that
of the new countries of the mid-20th
century.
Writing in The American Scholar,
he suggests that scrutiny cur past
indicates “our experience is too special
to be a guide to the life of other peo-
ple."
He starts with the American Rev-
olution itself, which he describes as
stemming from a deeply conservative
effort to redress grievances within the
British colonial system, rather than a
heart-felt wish to break away. It be-
came a fight for freedom only when
Americans concluded redress could be
had no other way.
"There was in America no long
drawn-out underground independence
movement, as in India under Ghandi
or Ghaa uner Nkrumah,” says Degler.
Acknowledging that we have always
taken an interest in other people’s rev-
olutions. he notes, however, that where
they did not take the American pat-
terns and lead quickly to orderly dem-
ocratic societies, we became disillu-
sioned and sometimes openly hostile.
Certainly we have in fact exhibited
some such disappointment in recent
years as we watched the almost un-
governable chaos in the Congo, and the
leftward leanings of Ghana.
We are perhaps inclined to forget
that most of the new nations have had
altogether too little experience, of any,
at operating democratic institutions
and practicing orderly government.
As for us, we had a centry and a
half of virtual self-government under
colonial rule before the Revolution.
Even at that, we went through a hor-
rendous period of chaos under the Ar-
ticles of Confederation before steady
hands took hold under the new Consti-
tution. ^
We could not name one nation on
earth which had y.Y much practice at......
self-government as we did before in-
dependence. We were able tQ build
on our past. Most of today’s new coun-
tries want to repudiate theirs.
Impatience unquestionably has led
a good many people to seek independ-
ence before they were ready. We. on
the other hand, have also been impa-
tient jn imaging that, once free, they
could and should quickly follow .our
own very special example.
and spurred by one of its .trustees,
Board Chairman Charles Thomas, of
Monsanto Chemical, turned up three
or four keys to the creative spirit.
The university’s researches dealt
- w ith genuinely creative persons in art.
science, literature, mathematics, archi-
tecture and otJier<fields.
One key possessed by all ifc inde-
pendece. Another is flexibility. A
third is eagerness for and receptive-
ness to new experience. A fourth is
a person’s ability to understand him-
self. to know how to flraw on his inner
resources and govern his weaknesses.
Enlarging on these notions in the
Monsanto magazine. ’ HJohn Gardner,
president of the Carnegia Foundation,
says the creative, one^ show their inde-
pendence by escaping the imprison-*
ment of group pressures.
They do not hold much with phras-
es like “everybody’s doing it” or “what
will people say?” They do not accept
something as fact simply because most
people seem to believe it.
5 et they do not take their non-
conformity to foolish lengths. Usual-
ly they dress and behave quite con-
ventionally, saving their rebellion for
matters of major consequence.
Creative people do not fence them-
selves in with rigid views, but keep
themselves mentally “loose.’ Some-
times this makesVthem appear pretty
disorganized, especially to teachers
who like things in neat packages. But
out of this seeming disorder often
comes the really original approach to
a problem.
Particularly in the artistic realm
today, the notion has got about that
you prove creativity by rejecting ev-
erything that has been done beford
you came on the scene.
But the California study shows that
the creative person shuts his mind to
nothing. He absorbs the past. He
tries to see, hear and digest more of
the present than his uncreative fel-
lows.
The problem, as always, is to try
to discern the individual with these
special marks at a reasonably earlv
age—and get him started in fruitful
directions.
The California study, as thus far
reported, seems to offer no more re-
liable hints than have others on the
matter of how to distinguish the crea-
tive, from merely rebellious in the
first stages. MTheir early growth can

Washington, (NEA) — Reports from the U. S. General
Accounting Office roll out twb and three a'day, faster than any-
body caiC read them..
These reports do lot necessarily audit irregularities, but
are aimed at cZrelessn as in the handling of billions- of govern-
ment dollars.
It cost $41 million to run,the GAO fui the fiscal year end-
ing last June 30. But it collected $43 million in refunds and
effected other savings of $114 million for a total of $162 million.
The comfort in this for taxpayers at this time of year is
that there, really is somebody in Washington who is concerned
about government spending, mistakes, inefficiency^ and waste-—■
and. tries to do something about it.
Through Comptroller General Joseph Campbell,, who has
headed GOA since 196#, is the servant of Congress, his day-to-
day, blue-bound paperback reports, ranging in size from only
a dozen pages to fat books over an inch thick, are so voluminous
that no congressman can keep up with them.
There were 822 GOA reports to Congress lost year and
113 to the Budget Bureau. There were 766 investigations of
411 government contractors. There were 152 reviews at 611
U.S. military installations,^^ i
There also were 45!^Toviews at 1,359 civil government
locations. There were audits of 4.5 million bills of lading and
of 2.3 million requests for government transportation. A total
of $30 million in overcharges was recovered. And so on.
A few of these reports make brief sensations, but most get
routine news coverage. Carelessness in handling government
funds is old stuff and the conscience of the country is calloused.
It takes something like the annual icport of the comp-
troller general, which has just come out, to get a perspective
on this whole effort and its magnitude. \
The report itself is not dramatic heading and it \ill never
become a best seller ($1.75 from the Governnjept Feinting
Office), even with rave reviews. —
