Abstract: The exchange of persons is, in fact, an educa tional process whereby the resources of education are used to promote certain national and international objectives. This use of education for political purposes has a long history, but it has been greatly intensified in the last generation. Different nations approach the problem in various ways. The British system has been a major factor in creating the new nations which are springing up in the British Commonwealth. The Soviet Union has used education as an effective means of cre ating a favorable political climate in the non-Communist world and is now developing new techniques for influencing the new nations of Africa and Asia. The United States should study what others are doing and evaluate present American programs in planning for a future in which education will be come an ever more important instrument of policy.
