DURING MY AB-
SENCE, while on vaca-
tion, I've suggested copy
for this column including
the topic of FOREIGN
AID, as taken from the
Congressional Record
from remarks by the
Hon. Gordon H. Scherer
(Ohio) 'in the House of
Representatives, March
16, 1959. This, along with
a copy of the National
Energy Policy, back-
ground report by the of-
fice of Media Liaison,
White House Press Of-
fice, July 1, 1980, should
give our readers suffic-
ient material for worth-
while reading.
FOREIGN AID
AND YOU
Extension of remarks of
Hon. Gordon H. Scherer
of Ohio
in the House of
Representatives
Monday, March 16, 1959
Mr. Speaker, today the
Citizens Foreign Aid
Committee has issued its
first report entitled
"Foreign Aid and You."
It is my feeling that
representatives of this
committee should be
called upon to testify at
the hearings on this
year's foreign-aid legis-
lation and that the report
which follows should be
made a part of the hear-
ings.
The report, in part, fol-
lows:
We Americans have al-
ways had an historic
policy of service to man-
kind. It is part of our
heritage and our religion.
For a century and a half
and to all parts of the
world, we have sent
funds, supplies, mis-
sionaries, doctors, teach-
ers, and technicians to

lend a helping hand to
those in need.
Reflecting this hu-
manitarian spirit, our
Government has extend-
ed aid when and where
the need arose.
After World War II,
however, our Govern-
ment's attitude toward
aid abroad changed
drastically. Its foreign
aid is now continuous and
has been expanded until
it has become global,
with heavy commitments
made for years ahead.
To rehabilitate the
war-torn countries in
Europe our Government
launched the $13.5 billion
Marshall Plan. This was
superseded by the pres-
ent mutual security pro-
gram which extends for-
eign aid to more than 70
countries. In the process
of this expansion, the
North Atlantic Treaty
Organization (NATO)
was created to streng-
then Western Europe
against the Red threat
from the east.
Foreign aid is divided
into two major classifi-
cations: Military assis-
tance and economic aid.
Military assistance in-
cludes: Military hard-
ware, military training,
offshore procurement
(military material
bought in foreign coun-
tries), weapons develop-
ment in allied countries.
Economic aid in-
cludes: Grants - in - aid
(cash or commodities),
point 4 (technical assis-
tance), contributions to
the United Nations, sur-
plus agricultural prod-
ucts, development loans,
President's special assis-
tance and contingency
fund. i
This varied and com-
plex foreign-aid program
has now become an
instrument of foreign
policy. As such it should
have one purpose only —
to "provide for the com-
mon defense" and pro-
mote the generaI’ wel-^
fare" of the DhVted
States. When foreign aid
impedes our welfare, the
Congress has no lawful
power to appropriate.
In 1948 some 450 people
were employed to ad-
minister and distribute
foreign economic aid.
Ten years and $41 billion
later this staff has grown
to 12,000 directing 2,000
projects. In addition,
some 9,000 persons are
engaged in the military-
assistance program,
which has totaled $23
billion. As of December
31, 1958, there was a total
of $6.6 billion in unex-
pended foreign-aid funds.
FOREIGN AID
AND DEFENSE
Proponents of foreign
aid argue that it offers
the best means of avoid-
ing war. They remind us
that since NATO came
into being the Soviets
have not taken one
square foot of Western
Europe.
Whether or not the
Soviets, with their 175
regular divisions and the
world's largest air force,
intended to occupy West-
ern Europe is not known.
Obviously Western Eur-
ope's 21 NATO division
defense, with insufficient
air support, is not an
effective war deterrent.
If the Soviets ever enter- \
tained invasion plans,
one weapon alone has de-
terred them: the U.S.
Strategic Air Command
(SAC).
Meanwhile Western*
Europe> more prosperous
than before World War
11, is not carrying its pro-
portionate share of the
NATO defense effort. But
we are carrying far more
than our share.
Despite our huge de-
fense contribution, Eu-
ropean NATO strength
in comparison to that
of the Soviets is
aimosT negngioie.
The population of pros-
perous European NATO
countries is 50 percent
greater than ours. But
our eager assumption of
a heavy defense role in
Western Europe has
caused our allies some-
what to disregard the
Red threat and to rearm
reluctantly. To stimulate
them into creating more
military might for their
own defense we should
advise them that it is not
our policy permanently
to garrison Europe.
There should be a syste-
matic withdrawal of
American troops, par-'
ticularly in the lower
echelons, as fast as these
can be replaced by
European NATO mem-
bers.
A number of the Cen-
tral European,. South
Asian, and Far Pacific
countries have received
in all more than $10 bill-
ion in military assis-
tance. Yet some of these
recipients are hostile to
the United States. So it is
possible that some of our
own weapons might one
day be turned against us.
This has happened be-
fore.
Limited military infor-
mation makes it difficult
for the American people
to know our true defense
position. It would appear
that the Red Air Force
challenges SAC; we have
yet to gain missile ascen-
dancy; we have under-
taken to defend the free
world; our forces, de-
ployed globally, are
overextended; our own
continental defense
against bombers and
missiles is inadequate.
So far as the survival
of the American people is
concerned, military
assistance to European
and Asiatic countries is
not essential. Authorita-
tive studies show con-
vincingly that the West-
ern Hemisphere can be
defended and made self-
sufficient both in peace
and in war.
In the past 12 years we
have spent about $23 bill-
ion for foreign military
assistance. In addition,
our overseas military
men are spending more
than $3 billion annually.
Suppose dozens of our
cities are wiped out in an
all-out nuclear war. What
excuse can our political
leaders who survive offer
for such a tragedy, if we
continue to arm other na-
tions while neglecting
adequately to defend our
own people?
IMPACT OF FOREIGN
AID ON POLITICAL
SYSTEMS..
One oT.the main bene;,
fits, claimed ;for foreign*
aid is that it helps pre-
vent the growth of com-
munism. Actually, it has
tended to promote
philosophies akin to com-
munism.
The Marshall Plan
greatly assisted Britain's
recovery from war's
devastation. But the fact
that Britain instituted
and carried out her
industrial nationalization
program at the very time
that our foreign aid funds
were being received, is
more than mere coinci-
dence. The $7 billion for-
eign aid which we have
contributed to Britain's
economic program, di-
rectly or indirectly, has
helped to nationalize the
Bank of England, and the
gas, electric, railway,
canals, and coal mining
enterprises of the United
Kingdom. Our dollars
also have assisted Brit-
ain to adopt socialized
medicine. Thus, Britain
has taken a long stride
toward total socialism.
Through too much for-
eign aid, too long con-
tinued, we have done
Britain, our ally, a great
'disservice.
But this is not all. In a
like manner our aid has
helped to strengthen the
nationalization processes
iri Norway,' Austria,
Rhance, Italy/ Turkey,
Pakistan, India, Indo-
nesia, and even in Com-
munist Poland and Yugo-
slavia.
P‘American-financed na-
tionalization does more
than merely put a foreign
government in business.
It serves to destroy the
free enterprise of the re-
cipient country. Nationa-
lization both here and
abroad reduces the tax
base and therefore raises
taxes for others. Govern-
ment business is subsi-
dized by our continuing
foreign aid; most free
enterprises do not enjoy
such subsidy. For the
free enterprises which
survive our aid, there is
always the threat of ex-
propriation.
By assisting recipient
countries to nationalize
their industries, foreign
aid contributes mater-
ially to the creation of
governmental systems
and institutions hostile to
those which have been
derived from our Dec-
laration of Independence
and our Constitution.
The argument is ad-
vanced that by raising
living standards foreign
aid prevents the spread
of communism. It is a
mistaken idea, however,
that communism breeds
on poverty. There is no
proof that a high stan-
dard of living is the
enemy of communism.
For instance Commu-
nists are strongest in
Italy and France. In
Italy the Communists are
stronger in the prosper-
ous northern industrial
areas, while in southern
Italy, where the peopie
are poorer, the conser-
vatives have built a
stronghold. In France the
Communists are stronger
in the prosperous cities;
they are weaker in the
poorer rural areas. .
In Ireland, among the
least wealthy countries
of Western Europe, the
Communists have made
little headway.
In India, which has re-
ceived substantial aid,
between 1952 and 1957 the
Cppimunists r ippr^ased
their vote from 4 million
to 12 million."Today the
Communist Party is the
second largest in the In-
dian Parliament and act-
ually controls the gov-
ernment in the state of
Kerala.
Many Americans will
be astonished to learn
that strong encourage-
ment for foreign did
originally came from Jo-
seph Stalin, His "Marx-
ism and the National
Colonial Question,"
pages 115-116 reads in
part:
"It is essential that the
advanced countries
should render aid — real
and prolonged aid — to
the backward nationali-
ties in their cultural and
economic development.
Otherwise, it will be im-
possible to bring about
the peaceufl coexistence
of the various nations
and peoples — within a
single economic system
that is so essential for the
final triumph of socia-
lism."
Through foreign aid
the United States is
following Stalin's spend-
ing prescription for the
establishment of "a
single economic system
that is so essential for the
final triumph of socia-
lism." From the start the
Kremlin has been deter-
mkned^to make capita-,
I ism. pay1 for its own fun-
eral. 'T.sr,

SEAL TRAGEDY
(From last week!
The real tragedy of the
seal massacre is that the
U.S. gov^^nrg,ent has the
ability to * protect the
seals withrbuf reporting to
an .antiquated treaty
which only '(protects" all
of them by killing some
of them. ’&*
The bureaucrats claim,
however, that without the
treaty the seals would be
slaughtered indiscrimi-
nately by pelagic sealing
ships. W® don't believe it.
According to the gov-
ernment's own Draft En-
vironmental Impact
Statement regarding the
Pribilof slaughter, the
risk of pelagic sealing
seems worth it:
"From .1941 until the
present Convention be-
came effective in 1957,
the Pribilof Island herd
was protected by provi-
sional agreement be-
tween the United States
and Canada. Pelagic
sealing occurred only in
the western North Pa-
cific Ocean and was esti-
mated to be no more than
6.000 animals annually."
(Emphasis added.)
We think it is worth-
while to stop the guaran-
teed slaughter of 25,000
seals and run the risk of
pelagic sealing.
Even the estimated
6.000 seals which might
be killed in pelagic seal-
ing operations could be
reduced substantially.
What it takes is for the
U.S. government to en-
force laws such as the
Marine Mammal Protec-
tion Act to the fullest and
deny fishing permits in
U.S. waters to countries
who violate these laws.
The waters surround-
ing Alaska and the off-
shore islands are prob-
ably the richest-fishing
grounds in the world.
I don't think any of the
nations fishing in this
area would jeopardize
their continued access to
our 200-mile zone by kill-
ing seals, against our
wishes, within our terri-
torial waters.
The laws and enforce-
ment mechanisms exist
for protecting the seals
and the people of the
Pri Pilots.
All that is needed is for
enough people — con-
cerned people like you
and me who are outraged
at the wasting of our
wildlife and our tax
money — to speak up and
ask our government
officials to ensure that
our rich heritage of
marine resources and
wildlife is protected.
WHAT YOU CAN DO
1. Write to President
Carter and tell him you
don't want the North Pa-
cific Fur Seal Convention
extended or renego-
tiated. Tell him that the
Pribilof slaughter under-
mines the U.S. position
on all conservation
issues.
2. Call your local news-
paper, radio-TV station
and encourage them to
report the facts of the
Pribilof seal killing. The
more people who become
involved in this urgent
project, the sooner we
can stop the hunt.
3. Help by sending a
tax-deductible contribu-
tion to the Seal Rescue
Fund today. We have a
difficult battle ahead of
us and we will need all
the support you can
spare: Seal Rescue
Fund, Center for En-
vironmental Education,
