He chose to be firm. But he ap-

For instance: He has let it be
known his administration is con-

so—since he can't read the Rus-

that he’s doing right.

He doesn’t know if Khrushchev
is bluffing. He doesn’t know if
the Russian just wanted to keep
the pot boiling without any in-
tention of a showdown in the hope
he’d benefit by any weak spot
that showed up in Kennedy.
If this guess is right, then it
might be assumed a tough Ken-

Shut The Backdoor
Congress is understandably reluctant to approve
the Kennedy Administration’s plan for long-term
foreign aid borrowing from the Treasury. Once the
idea became law, Congress would give up its privil-
ege—no, it’s duty—of withholding funds if the pro-
gram goes awry.
And there’s little reason for confidence that the
new foreign aid plans are so well conceived that no
scrutiny will be necessary.
The Kennedy Administration planners in charge
have a notorious preference for the socialist govern-
ments of the world and a corresponding prejudice
against the free enterprise states which resemble
our own country in outlook. •
Emphasis is being placed, too, on bailing Com-
’ munist satellite nations out of the consequences of
their own system. We’ve already passed out billions
to Poland, Yugoslavia and the like, and the President
has promised to help the left-wing dictatorship of
Ghana build a 158 million dollar dam. Ghana,
meanwhile, has announced its intention of using its
own money, thus freed, to build- the mightiest mili-
tary machine in Africa. It certainly is open to doubt
whether our aid to Ghana will contribute to the
peace of the world.
Meanwhile, the symptoms of our balance of pay-
ments problem have been suppressed, but we still
are creating more dabts abroad than we are accumu-
lating credits. If the foreign aid program goes for-
ward at the projected rate of $80 billion in the next
ten years, a new crisis may be expected at any time.
When the crisis comes, Congress will be helpless
to cut back on foreign aid to meet it. And past gov-
ernment payments abroad on a smaller scale than
trenew one were what got US into the gold jam be-
1 Americans are outnumbered in the world by 20 to
Americans always have been generous in helping
foreign people to regain their feet after disasters,
and to improve their living standards when possible.
But it seems evident that we can’t indefinitely fill
every request in full from friend and foe alike.
If the long-term backdoor approach to foreign
aid is adopted, Congress will be unable to act in any
crisis.
