Hong Kong, he would move next to Vietnam. For there the miseries of hunger, privation and disease have been compounded by more than twenty years of war. And of all the peoples of that tortured little country, those who have had the least for the longest and cherished the faintest hopes for the future are the Montagnards—the mountain people. Most of them, as someone once wrote, are charging headlong into the fourteenth century, and even that milestone frequently seems beyond their grasp.

that of their children.

Like all revolutions, the revolution of rising expectations has brought conflict to Asia. Tha? conflict is rooted first in a growing awareness that not all the world must live like the j peasants of a dusty, desolate j hamlet in northeast Thailand, j ! or like the residents in a reek-! ing, rat-infested slum of Saigon. It is rooted second in a deepen- ' ing determination to share in the better sort of life the rest of the world so clearly enjoys.

Wall Street Chatter

NEW YORK UPI — The Alexander Hamilton Institute warns that stock market rally which has seen many prices reach significantly higher levels since the beginning of the j year is running out of steam. The company feels enthusiasm of investors toward the market should be contained, with more realistic attention paid to such “yardsticks” ias price-earnings ratios and dividend yields.

James Dines k. Co. says the technical indicators in the market axe now overwhelm ingly bullish and the Dow Jones industrial average is "locked” in an uptrend; thus, there is no chance of a major selloff right now. The company recommends that traders be fully invested and fully margined with no short selling.

Robert T. Allen of Shearson. Hammill A Co. says with the stock market up so sharply that the Standard & Poor's and New York Stock Exchange industrial indexes have hit all-time highs only seven months after the bottom of a bear market, the time for indiscriminate speculating is over. The analyst advises traders to pay more attention to some fundamentals, such as solidity of earnings and price-earnings ratios.
