FrenchAid
LaudedbyCIay
By the Associated Pres.


The Clay committee singled
out France last night as the
country-other than the United
States - which is giving the
most generous aid to other, less
fortunate nations.
1--WE are convinced that the
burden Of sustaining foreign
assistance 10 the less-developed
countries is falling unfairly
upon the United States and
that the industrialized coun-
tries can and should do more
than they are now doing" said
the foreign-aid study commit
tee headed by retired Gen.
Lucius D. Clay.
"One must begin by giving
due credit to the revived ma
tons Of Western Europe and
Japan. as well as Canada, for
taking up an increasing share
Of the burden OF economic as
sistance 10 the less developed
countries.
while increasingly substan-
tial sums have become avail
able :. only France Is spend
ing on as generally favorable
terms rs We are. With the ex-
ception Of France. assistance
from other free nations has to-
q substantial extent been in the
form Of hard loans to finance
exports from the lending coun-
tries"
The committee didn't say So
In Its report. but France hap
pens to be the country which
has received the largest share
Of United States foreign aid
since World War II.

merely because 1t il in our ma
tional self-interest to assure
expanding markets for our pro-
duction and reliable sources Of
supply Of necessary raw ma
terials.
1t is because the people Of
the United States hope to see
q world which is prosperous
and at peace that we believe
those nations which are seri-
ously striving to promote their
own development should be
helped by us and by our part
ners TO create and maintain
the conditions conducive 10

improved social well being

ical freedom.

foreign aid since World War II.
On the basis Of these esti-
mates, total Soviet credits and
grants to Communist
countries during the period
1854 to June 1862 were about
$S.6 billion. The period start
ing in 1854 is used because
before Stalin's death In 1858,
Soviet aid to nom Communist
countries was neglible.
Military aid to non-Commu-
mist countries was estimated
at a about 50 billion for the
l954--June 1862 period.
Western experts hasten to
point out that most of the
Soviet aid takes the form Of
loans or credits, and not out
right grants or gifts. such as
the United States frequently
gives.
East Germany Gets Most
The Soviet loans carry in
terest charges but they are
generally low-2 per cent or
slightly higher.
The experts point out also
that much Of the resulting
Soviet aid is technical guidance,
rather than actual deliveries Of
machinery and equipment.
AS for the Communist bloc
countries, 1t is estimated the
Soviet Union gave them credits
and grants totaling about $6.2
billion from 1946 to the mid
die Of last year. 1t is believed
East Germany got about $1.3
billion, Poland 1913 million
and China $3.50 million, with
the other countries getting les
ser amounts.
Time was when the Soviet
Union proudly announced how
much it was spending in a
given country. But recently

the United States should not
help nations establish govern
ment owned industries that
compete with private enterprise
Yet the United States also
should continue aid to India,
the biggest single example OF
a country getting aid for gov
ernment-owned projects which
do compete with private indus
try.
3. Public mention Of nations
whose aid should be reduced
was avoided for the most part
In the report and in Gen. Clay's
press conference. But the re-
port did mention Spain and
Portugal as candidates for aid
reductions. Furthermore, Italy.
Canada. the United Kingdom.
France and Japan were mem
toned openly as nations which
could substantially increase
their foreign aid contributions.
4. Nations on the border OF
Communist countries are con-
tributing 100000 men 10
armed forces which add ma
terialy 10 free world strength
so long as conventional military
forces are required" At another
point. however, the committee
recommends substantial cuts In
those forces, on the grounds
they are too big for the role
assigned and not big enough
for q larger role that might
be assigned later.

Help to Indonesia Would Be Cut Off
Unless She Puts Her House in Order

countries where the native
armed forces "are larger than
required for their immediate
mission Of defense and not
large enough to assume other
missions" This appeared to be
aimed at aid to Nationalist
China and South Korea.
Indonesia Singled Out
The committee proposed cut
ting OFF military aid TO some
other countries, particularly In
Southeastern and Western Asia
which are not allied with the
West.
1t did not specify those coun-
tries. but did suggest specifi-
cally that aid to Indonesia be
cut off unless Indonesia puts
its internal house In order, pro-
vides fair treatment to foreign
creditors and enterprises, and
refrains from international ad-
ventures"
The report emphasized that
economic and military aid
should be continued to India
and Pakistan because those
countries form the only area Of
South Asia "able to offset the
Red Chinese colossus"
Asserting that in many in
stances in which the United
States provides aid in exchange
for bases "the practical cost
seems excessive" the commit
tee said every effort should be
made to reduce aid in such
cases, especially to Spain and
Portugal (which are already
more than adequately compen-
sated."
The report called for limit
ing American military assist
ance to African countries to
"small-scale and supplementary
training programs and internal
security assistance" in the few
countries where the United
States maintains bases.
I'VE believe the problems
created by military assistance
programs in the African coun-
tries generally would be greater
than those they forestall or
resolve" the report declared.
Similarly. the committee rec
commended cutting out all mil
itary aid to Latin America ex-
cept training. civic action pro-
grams, internal security assist
ance where necessary, and mil
itary equipment of a small
arms or communications ma
ture.
It said Latin American mill
tary forces are not required
