Administration's Foreign Aid
"'J.* in Congress

AID TO ALLIES— Although President Truman and Secretary of State
Achcson took to the radio and television in an attempt to gain public
support for the administration’s $7,900,000,000 program for m ilitary and
economic aid to our allies, the program faces a bitter test before a money
conscious congress.
The administration feels that the $7,900,000,000 represents a figure
that has already been cut to the extreme and has decided to fight any
further cuts-> Congress, on the other hand, which is considering the largest
peacetime” budget in the nation's history, must find some way to cut
the budget and thus reduce deficit spending. An increase in taxes in an
election year, which would be necessary if the budget is not slashed, is an
unheard of thing. As a result, one of the items that must be cut. from the
congressional viewpoint, is foreign aid.
In view of the fact that the United States is attempting to build up a
European army, it is unlikely that m ilitary aid w ill be reduced. That
leaves the $2,000,000,000 for economic aid. There is strong sentiment in
congress for eliminating this item entirely. Aside from the money angle
congressional reaction to the program w ill be of importance in that m ili
tary and economic assistance to nations standing up to Soviet communism
Is a cornerstone of the administration's foreign policy.
An important fact in the coming congressional battle over foreign
aid is the fact it is not drawn along strict party lines. A number of Demo j
crats, as well as Republicans, have announced themselves in favor of a
great slash in foreign aid funds, some as much as 50 per cent.

nounced he w ill seek the Democratic presidential nomination. But the
senator did not plunge deeply enough into the political pool to suit the
bitter anti-Truman wing of
southern Democrats.
