We cannat wait for lhe repercussional chain. That, will come. We need to build up the infrastructure and ali lhings will then fali in place. This paper is only in a sense partial. We have not dealt with air traveI, nor informatian, nor news papers, nor satellites or television and radio as these cao be subjects of separate papers.
