text: The restricted sustentive range of manipulations of foreign aid in economic warfare is especially marked. This is due to the state of the domestic law concerning foreign aid; "reciprocal controls" which a recipient state can exert; and a "folk way" expectation of economic aid flowing from centers of great productivity, such as the United States, the Soviet Union, and the countries of Western Europe. This folk-way expectation has emerged as a postulate of an obligation to supply the "needs of the needy" upon which foreign aid reasoning in both donor and recipient states tends to be founded.
