94th Year ? Number 11
Senator
Sam
Says ]
Washington - The Clay Com
mittee Report released last
week will have an impact on
this year's foreign aid appro
priation bill. Already the Ad
ministration Is conceding that
it can get along on less than
the original- $4.9 billion re
quested In the Budget. TheClay
Committee, appointed by the
President, backs foreign aid as
" an Instrument of national policy.
At the same time It Is highly
critical, of the extent of the
program which currently uses
U.S. tax dollars to finance pro
jects In 95 countries. It also
urges less fiends to be spent
for the program. What is yet
to be determined Is whether
or not the reforms suggested
will be put Into practice. Over
the years, previous investiga
tions and studies have had little
Impact on the foreign aid do
?maln.
Almost? everyone Is familiar
with foreign aid's cost to the
nation which has reached the
$100 billion level since the end
of World War n. Repeatedly,
lt_has been stated that we have
aided 97 nations of the world.
But statistics mean little in
discussing such a complex pro
gram. Even General Clay, with
long experience In foreign af
fairs, expressed concern and
surprise at the number of coun
tries to which we are giving
assistance. He commented last
week: "I didn't realize how
far It had spread."
A report frpm the Office oi
Business Economics, Com
merce Department, which rank
ed aid countries through June
30, 1961 shows France has re
ceived the largest amount of
$9.7 billion and NewCalendonla
trails all other nations with $1
million. In between those ex
tremes we find Morocco, whose
King returned last week for
more aid, at $183 million, and
Brazil, who signed an additional
$398 million pact recently, at
$974 million. *
What concerns most Ameri
cans about the foreign aid pro
gram Is that when 'circum
stances and times have changed,
our government has been re
luctant to cut those programs
which have served their pur
pose. Moreover, having granted
^ aid to 97 nations of the world,
the precedent has been set to
grant It to' almost every nation
that presents Its financial woes
to us. Critics, time and again,
have pointed to the disservice
foreign aid render^ even In the
area of foreign affairs. Former
Secretary ofCommerce Char
les Sawyer pointed this out wlien
he said In 1956: >' It reduces the
need for the shrewdness, the
persistence, the Imagination,
the Initiative, and the courage
required in skillful diplomacy."
This Is brought home when you
read the accounts of State visits
to this -country. The principal
Item on the agenda of almost
every Chtef-of-State visitor to
this country anymore is foreign
aid.
It Is paradoxical, too, that
some of the same advice we now
give other nations we do not
care to heed ourselves. We ad
monish other nations to balance
their governmental budgets, In
crease taxes and cease grant
ing unrealistic subsidies. But
, as Senator Lausche observed In
* the Senate last week:- "What we
are telling the people of the
world to do ? t and now this ap
plies especially to Brazil, - -
"we are not doing back home."
Opposed
Two life Insurance Industry
spokesman urged Congress re
cently to reject proposals that
would Increase taxes affecting
certain Insurance plans. ,
Charles A. Siegfried, chief
actuary of the Metropolitan Life
insurance Company, attacked
especially the proposal to asses
Income tastes on the value of
group life Insurance bought by
tor employees.

Bill Would Permit
ABC Vote In Bunn
The General Assembly was
asked last Thursday to permit
an election to be held on the
establishment of a legal liquor
store In Bunn.

nator W. M. Jolly called for

quested by at least 15 per cent
of the registered voters of Bunn.
If a liquor store Is approved
and established In Bunn,
Youngsvllle will be the only re
maining Incorporated muni
cipal In this otherwise legally
dry county not selling ABC
liquor-legally anyway.
The bill provides that In the
event the store Is established
It could be closed In a subse
quent election. .
Loulsburg and Frankllnton al
ready operate ABC stores with
in their respective limits.
You can talk all you please (
about the causes of crime but, (
