Inodequocy of Conditions on Fund Use
And Qualification of Recipients Cited
DAVID LAWRENCE

The administrations pro-
gram Of foreign aid" as
submitted to Congress, has
given to many members the
impression that President
Kennedy is hopefully under
taking the task of remaking.
If not running, the world.
He has asked for a $4 billion
appropriation this year, to
be used wherever the ad-.
miniStration sees fit to use
it. In addition, he requests
authorization to spend sew
eral billion dollars over the
next four years.
Congress is not asked to
pass specifically on which
depressed areas" in the world
are to be given American
taxpayers money. All this is
to be taken care of by a
bureaucracy in Washington.
No information is avail
able as to how an agency OF
the United States is to sit in
judgment on the national
growth" of each country and
decide whether that coun-.
try's efforts to help itself are
adequate or whether aid tend
cred by this country is being
used to maximum advantage.
The whole program is por-
trayed as a gesture of good
win based on altruism. Even
military assistance" is to be
separated from other aid, so
that American efforts will
appear not to be contami-
mated by any selfish interest.
such as protecting the secur-
ity of the United States
might be thought to be.
though there are vague ref
erenceS in the Presidents
message to the Importance of
that protection. Here's one
excerpt from the Presidents
message which describes the
far-reaching scope of the
foreign aid program:
There exists, in the 1960s,
an historic opportunity for a
major economic assistance
effort by the free industri-
allied nations to move more
than half the people Of the
less-developed nations into
se1f-sustained e d economic
growth, while the rest move
substantially closer to the day
when they, too, will no longer
have to depend on outside
assistance"
One wonders what agency
Of the American Government
! and what staff Of economic
experts are wise enough tt
determine. first Of all, what

These include the British and
French consuls: the United
States occasionally sends a
consul to Stanleyville for a
week at a time.
Mr.. Gizenga denied he is a
Communist but claimed that
Russia is a democracy" He
also said his regime had re-
ceived neither equipment t,
money nor advice from the
Communist blocc.
I'VE want to be neutral" he
declared. I'VE have received
help from no one as yet. But
we would be willing to accept
aid from anyone who will give
it. Our only condition is that
there be no strings attached"
Press Reports Denied
He also denied United states
press description of him as
Communist educated, saying he
had spent only IS days in the
Soviet Union and had spent
more time than that in the
United States.
Mr.. Gizenga also denied re-
ports of atrocities" in Stan
leyville, and Miss Higgins said
in her opinion "the terror of
Stanleyville' has been some
what exaggerated" But she
added that "in Stanleyville, Eu-
ropeans and Congolese alike
have suffered a nightmare OF
threats, sudden arrests in the
night, beatings, indignities and
worst of all-unnerving un-
certainty as to when the pre-
cious exit visa will at last be
forthcoming"

Organized Interest Groups Blamed
For ContrWed Letters to Congress

In other words, under this
"for a fee" idea, these let
ters to = Congress agencies
will decide which bills they
consider "leftist," and which
sound. The voter will not
have to write the letters.
They will be written for him.
Note the promise. The con-
tents will be "skillfully" pre-
pared. The person who pays
the fee to have his name
used in floods Of letters
presumably will have his
vanity soothed by the vicari-
Gus pleasure Of receiving the
routine answers which har-
assed congressional secre-
taries send out.
There are a number Of
these "press-the- -button-for-
letters-to-Congress" agencies.
In the long run, this will be
beneficial. The most obtuse
Congressman cannot forever
fail to see that these So
called conservative organiza-
tions take him for a fool who
will be influenced by such
maSs-produced mail cam
paigns. And certainly, the
citizen who hires some face
less persons to write his let
ters and make decisions for
him about "leftists" and
"soundness" can't really be
considered as being very in
fluential. What he has done
is put some smart boys in
the business Of making an
easy living out Of turning out
offset printed letters which
look like the real thing.
There are, Of course, the

a "free industrialized nation"
really is and also when it
moves into a cycle of self
sustained economic growth"
The President gives alb
stractly the reasons why
America must step in. He
says:
"The answer is that there
is no escaping our obliga-
tionS: our moral obligations
as a wise leader and good
neighbor in the interdepend-
ent community of free nations
our economic obligations as
the wealthiest people in a
world of largely poor people,
as a Nation no longer de-
pendent upon the loans from
abroad that once helped us
develop our own economy
and our political obligations
as the single largest counter
to the adversaries Of free
dom"
History does not, however,
record a single instance in
which any foreign govern
ment ever loaned money to
finance the United States
government. Funds did come
from private investors abroad,
cand lots of them lost their
money in American railroad
bankruptcies and in other
enterprises. American and
European investors had to
learn the hard way.
The President does not
clear up just how the United
States is going to supervise
the economic affairs Of coun-
tries to which aid is given. He
says:
I'VE must say to the less
developed nations, If they are
willing to undertake neces-
sary internal reform and self
help-and to the other in
duStrialized nations, if they
are willing to undertake a
much greater effort on a
much broader scale-that we
then intend during this COM
ing decade of development to
achieve a decisive turn
around in the fate Of the
less-developed world, look
>ing toward the ultimate day
when all nations can be self
reliant and when foreign aid
will no longer be needed"
This is a sort Of Utopiar
ideal. evidently urged by some
of the theoreticians who nov
abound in Government anc
who write as If generosity ir
foreign aid were something
new. Yet $85 billion - ar
average of about $5.6 bill
lion a year for Is years-havt

RALPH McGILL

President Kennedy was
quite accurate in speaking
sharply about the "well-or-
ganized interest groups"
which are promoting mail
campaigns to the Congress
seeking to give an impression
his program lacks public
support.
Such campaigns are famil-
lar. Happily, they almost al
ways end up by overreaching
themselves. A few years ago
an investigation into a flood
of mail led to revelations Of
hundreds Of fake signatures
TO letters and kilograms.
Today, there are a few new
techniques. There are, for
example, organizations
which, for a fee. will add any
persons name to form letters.
They even advertise in maga-
zines and publications repre-
senting the extreme right
wing of American conserva-
tiSm. A couple of samples will
illustrate:
Conservatives: Help block
leftist measures and support
sound ones. by sending skill
fully prepared and car efully
written letters to key Con-
greSSmen and newspapers.
/, etc. Join --------, the
legislative service that keeps
an eye on legislation and
alertS conservatives"
Another is more subtle:
why do we fail? Perhaps
we fail to sell conservative
ideas consult a COM
munications specialist. ;"

The country's honeymoon
with the Kennedy admin
Stration continues in a pleas
ant and steady manner and
gives the appearance of 60
ing we'll beyond the usual
80 days.
It is difficult for the best
crystal ball gazers to foresee
what the future holds. But
there are certain indications
derived from reading and
analyzing the writings and
speeches of the White House
apostles who prepare thor
oughly Mr.. Kennedy'S think
ing that the overall tendency
might lead to domestic well
farism and One World gov
ernment paced initially by
"coexistence" with interna-
tional communism.
The Kennedy adminiStra-
tion has been in office just
a little over so days. There
is no doubt that it has been
active and has made only a
few booboos. The team is
composed by and large Of
hardworking men possessed
of more theology than prac-
tical experience. The Chief
Executive himself has a
pleasant, dynamic personality
which could disguise his de-
termination to lead us on the
paths indicated by the writ
ings Of his domeheaded ad-
visers.
The cabinet. however, is
composed mostly of prac-
tical men. Be that as it may.
the fact remains that the
vast majority Of the country
appears to like Mr.. Kennedy's
rather simple and engaging
manner lacking in. any kind
of starch. His direct approach
to the manifold problems
confronting this Nation also
has created a favorable i'm
preston. But both friends
and opponents keep their
fingers crossed and mutter
"let'S wait and see." What
they want to see is whether
the new administration will
adopt and improve on Harry
Hopkins alleged slogan
spend, spend, tax, tax, elect
and elect"
