They deal. on a daytoday basis. with complicated and exacting subjects ranging from coldwar diplomacy through medicine. international law. labor relations. industrial production. nuclear energy. and contemporary music. to archeology and semantics. The guilds membership includes former journalists and diplomats. lawyers. teachers. political scientists. retired military officers. editors. and even an atomic scientist. Many of its members who are not nativeborn citizens have amply demonstrated their faith in America by becoming citizens the hard way. through the long process of naturalization. Since many members of the new guild work on a contractual basis with the International Cooperation Administration. it is appropriate that the guilds first official act was to present the terms of a proposed new contract to ICA. The guilds proposals embody demands voiced frequently by a majority of interpreters handling ICA assignments and are aimed at correcting conditions which have long been unsatisfactory to the interpreters.
