To Make 1t More Effective

1t is good to hear that President
Eisenhower is about ready to put one
man in overall charge of our foreign
aid programs The man is expected to
be c. Douglas Dillon, Deputy UnderSec-
rotary of State for Economic Affairs, and
his prospective job calls for integrating
action of sort that has been needed
for long time.
This is so because our aid operations
abroad-such as military assistance,
defense support, technical cooperation
and the lending activities Of the Export
Import Bank-are run by several differ
ent agencies and frequently work at
cross purposes with each other. AS
result, our foreign policy has been ad-
versely affected. and it will continue to
suffer as long as these programs are
administered as at. present, without
adequate coordination.
Yet the co-ordinating task will be
far from easy. American policy, for
example, stresses the Importance Of
helping underdeveloped countries. but
our International Cooperation Admin
istration feels impelled at times to deny
to some OF those countries aid OF type
that would enable them to increase their
output Of cotton, rice, wheat and the
like. The reason for such Self-con-
Trajectory position-a tough dilemma at
best-is that our own domestic farm
interests and their congressional repre-
sentation are opposed to any assistance.
that might have the effect of seriously
complicating our surplus disposal pro-
gram, which in itself is one of the varied
forms of our foreign aid.
Despite difficulties Of this sort, how
ever. there can be no doubt that one
man supervisory authority could do
much to strengthen our foreign policy
by eliminating some of the worst con-
tradictions existing in our efforts to help
countries overseas. Accordingly the
sooner the President acts on the matter,
the better II will be.

country, and some Of the professionals
Of "tin-pan alley" undoubtedly make a
tidy living writing tunes under variety
of names. This is bourgeoise practice,
of course, and quite UNDERSTANDABLE an
affront to the proletarian society and
culture.
One of the examples cited by the
Gazette is particularly intriguing. 1t
mentions the case of a busy composer
in Leningrad who. farmed out one
of his tune-making jobs to a ghost
in Moscow. He called his anony-
nous helper by telephone, whistled
few bars over the 400-mile line
and eventually earned both applause
and rubles for composing" another
hit number. This strikes us as
being not only quite musical feat,
but quite tribute to the Russian tele-
phone system. The Literary Gazette
may not think it is quite cricket, but it
would not be surprising If some Soviet
scientific journal-perhaps when reveal
ing that the telephone actually was
invented in Russia-should mention it
as evidence of the high fidelity qualities
of their communications system.

The UnonswerobIe Answer
BY DIR. FREDERICK BROWN HARRIS
Chaplain Of the United states Senate

teen-agers in our homes have
q hard time getting from
10 years to 20 because, some-
how, they are expected to de-
velop good manners, poise,
courtesy and sound morals
without seeing any. If our
youth we're preached at less
and practiced before more,
the fruit of the spirit in our
homes might be more mani
fest. When Daniel Webster
was once asked what in his
opinion was the strongest ar
gument for Christianity, he
replied. "An old aunt of mine
in the New Hampshire hills"
Some time ago in q great
Eastern college, some stu
dents were having a bull ses-
sion and they fell to talking
about religion. Some adj
mitted that Christianity had
a helpful code Of ethics and
there had to be standards;
some thought a lot of it was
superstition which couldn't
live in a scientific day. One
of that youth group was an
avowed agnostic who thought
Christianity was largely a
spent force and that all in all
we'd be better OF without all
its taboos. After ALL" he
blurted out, what is q Chris
tian anyway" Quick as a
flash, one boy answered,
oscar Westover. That
ended the argument, for no
one had anything to say.
One boy on the campus in
whose Christian life every
one had confidence ended
mere academic consideration.
AS always it proved that for
that group a life was the un-
answerable answer.
In the early days Of Chris
tianity, Peter had learned
that truth, namely that the
Word has always to be made
Flesh. when he wrote to the
infant church who were fac
ing ridicule and haunting
questions about Christianity,
For so is the will Of God
that with well-doing you may
put to silence the ignorance
of foolish men,"
The unanswerable answer
is suggested in these lines:
I'd rather see a sermon than
hear one any day.
I'd rather one should Ddlk
Nth me than merely tell
the Udy.
The eyes a better pupil and
more ,Dilling than the ear.
Fine counsel is confusing. but
examples always clear.
And the lecture you deliUer
may be very UiSe and
true,
But I'd rather get my lesson
BY observing iUhat you do.
For I might misunderstood
you and the high aduice
you giue.
But there's no miSunder-
standing hoU you act and
hon. you liUe.
