Foreign Aid Under Attack

foreign lands. They could
then take care of themselves.
At the time that the Mar
shall Plan was being debated,
warning voices were raised in
Congress. There were law
makers there then who knew,
as practical patriots, that
there would be no end to the
organized giveaways once they
got started. Such schemes are
self-perpetuating. They build
up enormous payrolls of peo-
pie who stand to lose soft
jobs and high salaries when
the program ends. And they
build up long handout lines,
in America as well as abroad,
of persons. firms, and political
groups who subsist on the
bounty of free dollars.
The warning voices were
correct. There has been no
letdoWn in the clamor for
more and more foreign aid.
Even the White House has
uncritically Joined the clamor
foreign aid, to the admin
istration, is a necessary adj
junct to American foreign
policy.
All the old rules. the old
adages. of our heritage have
been junked. Self-help is re-
dictionary. Self reliance is
stupid. Economy and care are
Anticipated nonsense. What we
need the giveaway artists in
sist, is a world prosperous on
the wealth of the American
producer. Then everybody will
be happy. the Communists
will wither on the vine, and
Uncle Sugar will be every
mans security.
OF course. as Mr.. Castle
amply demonstrate in his
book. this happy ending is still
a long way off. Billions every
year have been poured down
the ratholes of every flea
bitten. impoverished and
worthless corner of the world,
yet the United States is still
hated, still suspect, and still
opposed. If the dollar shower
were to end, and even if it
doesn't. these countries for
the most part could never be

United States in a shooting

OF course, the preSsures of
the cold war, the ominous
threats of Stains Russia, the
welding of the shackles on the
helpless satellite captives of
Eastern Europe, had much to
do with the incredible ease
with which the global plan
ners were able to foist their
generous program on the
American taxpayer. But there
was even more than that in
volved: The precedent for
Yankee bill-paying had al
ready been established in our
national thinking. Years of
the Roosevelt New Deal had
hardened our people to the
facts of government largesse.
unbalanced budgets, massive
boondoggling.
The about drive to dis

ana at the same time to sup
port an immense army of
professional do-gooders began
with the Marshall Plan in
1947. This was sold to the
gullible public and to Con-
gress as a temporary aid pro-
gram made absolutely neces-
sary by Europe's postwar
poverty and despair. If the
aid were not forthcoming. the
do-gooders warned, all West

Communist infiltration.
Or course, according to the
sales talk, all the plan was
to aim for was the rehabilita-

on those minorities has been
relaxed. They fear it has been
dangerously relaxed; this is
the reason Southern Demo-
Gratis have been induced to
moderate their adamant stand
against Federal civil rights
legislation.
Massachusetts is a big State
with vocal minorities. The
Kennedy partisans are working
toward the kind of avalanche
of Democratic votes there next
year which will enable them
to argue that their man is
the answer to Nixon.
To this end, Senator Kennedy
is devoting most of his time
to legislation important to his
State. He hopes to be able to
produce results and he has
the cooperation of Senate
Leader Lyndon Johnson to-
ward that end.
AS of now his opposition for
the Senate does not look
formidable. His former foe,
Henry Cabot Lodge, shows no
taste for a return match
though said to be bored with
his job as Ambassador to the
United Nations.
Approaches have been made
by Republicans to Christian
Herter, jr., son of the former
Governor and present Under
secretary of State. It is
thought that Herter, jr., would
make a creditable campaign
but would be a very long shot
indeed to win.

died away. Finally, she died too,
