Unless we take strong steps to counter the brain drain. it will continue to go against a major aim of our foreign policy--helping young nations break free from their poverty. The steps we do take must be considered with great care. We have no desire to erect a wall excluding immigrants from the developing countries. so many of whom have already given so much to our national life. Nor can we do without immigrants engaged In such fields as medicine. we will depend too heavily upon them until we substantially expand our own medical schools. Nor. I should add. do we want students and members of the professions who come here from developing lands to return home if their talents will be wasted there. as all too frequently happens.
