General purposes of the Foreign Policy Association-World Affairs Center
are rather well indicated in a fund-raising letter, mailed to American
businessmen all over the nation, on February 23, 1961. The letter was on
the letterhead of Consolidated Foods Corporation, 135 South La Salle
Street, Chicago 3, Illinois, and was signed by Nathan Cummings, Chairman
of the Board. Here is a part of Mr. Cummings' appeal to other
businessmen to contribute money to the FPA-WAC:

"In his inaugural address which I had the privilege of personally
hearing in Washington, President Kennedy summoned the American
people to responsibility in foreign policy: ...

"This call for individual initiative by the President characterizes
the kind of citizen responsibility in world affairs which the
Foreign Policy Association-World Affairs Center has been

of the urgent matters of foreign policy such as those mentioned by
the President--'the survival and the success of liberty,'
'inspection and control of arms,' the forging of 'a grand and
global alliance' to 'assure a more fruitful life for all
mankind'--is making remarkable progress.

"The enclosed 'Memorandum: 1960-61' describes the program and past
achievement of this 42-year-old organization. Particularly worthy
of mention is their annual 'Great Decisions' program which last
year engaged more than a quarter of a million Americans in eight
weeks of discussion of U. S. foreign policy and reached hundreds of
thousands of others with related radio, television and newspaper
background programs and articles on these important topics.

"Of the basic budget for 1960-61 of $1,140,700, nearly one-third
must be raised from individual and corporate sources to meet
minimal operating needs. The fact that over 400 major corporations,
some of whom contribute as much as $5,000, already support FPA-WAC
