These two question! are repeatedly asked of me. Probably none of us is prophet enough to give the . full answer. interestbe You may however, ed in the answers of Honorable John Hollister, Director of the al Coopeartion Adminis-tratioto question I put to him this week. Mr. Hollister, who administers our $3.8 billion mutual security program, is not a starry-eye- d dreamer. He was a successful Ohio business and a conserva-'tiv- e Congressman closely aligned with Senator Taft. He also served as Executive director of the second Hoover Commission. ' Mr. Hollisters answers to my as questions can be summarized ' for-eig- In-ternat- n, - follows ; - - - He has difficulty in reducing or eliminating aid to some countries because they have grown to take it for granted. The elimination or reducing might be interdispreted as an unfriendly act, rupt their economy, and give commies control. 2. He listed ten countries outside Europe where' our aid is accomplishing the intended results and two or three where it Is doubtful, but the situation is too precarious to "upset the applecart. 3. He believes we can' and should cut the foreign aid budget, but it is difficult to say where and how. ' 4. He cited several instances where the foreign nation ' itself, through out help, has taken over practically all its own defense so most of our troops could be and have been withdrawnr lt lsTnodr cheaper and better for us to pay $300 to $400 a year to keep one of than to , their soldiers in the field to to $5,000 place one pay $4,000 field. in' of ours foreign 5. He reports that practically every dollar we now spend for technical assistance is matched and that in spite of recent criticism our technical assistance and exchange students give us a good return for a comparatively small expenditure. (Technical assistance amounts to only 4 per cent of the - total mutual security budget.) 6, He believes we should place foreign aid recipients on a loan basis, and he intends to do it as rapidly as possible. 7. As tangible achievements of the program, he refers to the following: (a) The Commies military aggression has been stopped, (b) An encouraging solidarity of opposition to Communism has been . developed, (c) Many nations now have been helped, to the point where they need very little assistance. (d) It is far better to lend our money to help them defend themselves than to send out American soldiers to defend them. In many cases it means either one or the other. 1. s for your old waiter heater or range on purchase of a new electric model 1 Its almost too good to be true. But it is!
