mercial enterprises which CON-
pete with existing private en-
terprises.
Other proposals called for
drastically curtailing or with
holding aid to countries that
do not do their part in financ-
ing local costs and carrying
out tax and other reforms.
The committee laid down
strict standards that would
sharply curtail American aid
to African countries. Western
European nations should bear
most Of the aid burden in that
area, 1t asserted.
Gen. Clay, at q news confer
ence, sought to avoid mention
ing India by name when asked
about the recommendation that
United States aid not go to
government-owned enterprises
competing with private indus
try. Newsmen noted that India
which has q private enterprise
steel industry, wants help in
building q government steel
plant.
In a series Of recommended
tons to strengthen the ALI
ance for Progress program Of
economic aid to Latin America,
the committee stressed that the
United States must be tough
In seeking specific reforms
within the recipient countries
to make the aid effective.
Local Action Essential

port said. nothing win avail

Latin American leaders do not
stimulate the win for develop
ment, mobilize internal savings,
encourage the massive flow Of
private investment and promote
other economic. social and ad-
ministrative changes"
Direct relationship of foreign
aid to free world security, the
committee said, Is most evident
IN military assistance to those
countries which occupy the
frontier Of freedom" near the
Communist bloc.
These countries now are re-
ceiving major portions Of Amer

said. 1t might be better to re-
duce our own defense budget

tribution possible. the commit

tial reductions can be made in

mendations would assist in
meeting these objectives.
For the present, however, /"
the report said. I'VE are con-
vinced that reductions are in
order in present military and
economic assistance programs. Z"
It recommended that the re-
ductions be phased over the
next three years to permit full
fillment Of most commitments.
Meany's Recommendation
Mr.. Meany recommended
that instead Of being cut, AID
funds should be substantially
increased" He also said the
United States should call for
co-ordinated efforts by Latin
American governments, labor
and management in economic
and social planning,
Mr.. Meany also called for
the establishment Of a trade
union department in AID.
Asserting that the majority
report does not show real un-
derstanding Of the basic strug-
gle being waged between the
forces Of tyranny and free
dom," Mr.. Meany said he con-
sidered the foreign aid pro-
grams as Insurance against
possible vast military expendi-
lures and sacrifices OF Amer
lean lives so great as to over
shadow completely the cost OF
this insurance"
Gen. Clay said the commit
tee majority did not consider
labor's role in the aid effort
as falling within the scope Of
the assigned study. He also
said the reports emphasis on
the value Of private enterprise
was on the basis Of practical,
economic considerations rather
than theology.
Besides Gen. Clay, who now
Is board chairman OF the Con-
tinental Can Corp, the ma
jority report to the President

ury during the Eisenhower ad-

In making our recommended

Envoy Moves
To Reassure
India on Aid
NEW DELHI. Mar. % ZAP,

NEW DELHI, Mar. % (AP)
United States Ambassador
John Kenneth Galbraith moved
quickly tonight to reassure In
dia that the Clay committee re-
port on foreign aid would have
no immediate effect on tenta-
tive United States pledges to
help build the proposed Bokaro
steel plant.
Mr.. Galbraith said he had
been asked by the United
States Government to make II
clear the decisions on any spe-
cific project. such as the Bo-
karo steel plant, would be made
by the United States Govern
ment and in the light of all
factors involved"
NO-Interest Loan Sought
Prime Minister Nehru's gov
ernment hopes the United
States will advance India q
5000 million long-term no-in-
terest loan for the proposed
$500 million plant, designed to
produce q million tons Of steel
a year.
What worries Indian quarters
is the Clay committees recon-
mendation that the United
States should not aid foreign
government projects competing
with private endeavor.
Like plants built in India
with Soviet and West German
help, the Bokaro plant would
be owned and operated by the
government.
Mr.. Galbraith said, however
that the Clay committees
suggestions on public and
private sector investment" re-
flected the committee mem
bers' personal views.
Market for Both Seen
Besides, Mr.. GaIbraith said,
"the concern of the Clay COM
mittee over public and private
competition did not appear to
hold in the specific case Of
Bokaro."
He said there would be
sufficient market in India for
both public and private steel
operations and private steel
firms here have. not expressed
n1isgivings over public sector
competition, as. far as he knew.
He said the main problem Is
to make steel production more
efficient" and that ain the
preliminary talks on Bokaro,
organization to accomplish this
result and not the question Of
public versus private operation
had been the dominating
theme"
