Foreign Aid Said One
Of Most Important
Problems of Country
New York Foreign assistance
as part of the problem of achiev
ing a better balance in the
wealth of the world was the an
swer given by the largest num
ber of participants in the Com
mittee for Economic Develop
ment's symposium on the ques
tion, "What is the most import
ant economic problem to be
faced by the U.S. in the next
tO years?"
In papers from a galaxy of
Free World notables, public fig
ures like Lester M. Pearson, the
recent Nobel Prize winner, Jean
Monnet, former French finance
minister, and Paul Henri Spaak,
secretary-general of NATO, gave
2,000-word answers to the ques
tion. Most Important
Foreign aid, inflation, and ur
ban redevelopment were felt to
be the most important coming
American problems, in that
order.
Seventeen of the- 48 papers
named aid to underdeveloped
countries (better distribution of
the world's wealth) a few of
them collaterally as the major
U.S. problem; eight cited infla
tion; and six mentioned some as
pect of urban congestion and the
related problems of local re
development brought on by sky
rocketing population growth.
In the wide ranging topics se
lected by other contributors,
considerable concern was ex
pressed for the coming problem
of leisure what are we going to
do with all the spare time auto
matic machines will give us?
Meaningful References
Sputnik came up time and
again. One of the most meaning
ful references, not even mention
ing the gadget by name, came
from R. V. Rao, Joint Director
of Industries and Commerce of
Andhra Pradesh, India, who ob
served:
"It is harder to provide all
members of the community with
a roof, shoes and meat, than to
launch an artificial satellite."
Significantly, none of the con
tributors mentioned a great eco
nomic depression as something
to worry about in the next two
decades. Some did refer to de
flation, however, as part of the
problem of maintaining econo
mic stability.
Only three of the American
contributors worried much
about the remaining low-income
groups in America J. Kenneth
Galbraith, Harvard economics
professor who is economic advis
er to the Democratic National
committee; Rockwell Dennis
Hunt, dean emeritus of the grad
uate school, University of South

trie
ern California; and Moses Abra
movitz, Stanford university eco
nomics professor.
Top Priority
Galbraith gave a top priority
to elimination of "residual pov
erty" in the U.S., Hunt wrote of
the need for "inaugurating an
economy of plenty," and Abra
movitz asked for "additional
measures for the redistribution
of income."
These minority views were in
sharp contrast with the princi
pal concerns of most contribu
tors, particularly those from
overseas, who predicated their
worries upon the continued ris
ing prosperity of the U.S. It was
problems of wealth and broadly
distributed "high incomes which
concerned them, not poverty.
In fact, Professor Roy Harrod
of Christ Church, Oxford, raised
basic questions about "the
American dream" when, with a
well aimed verbal rapier, he
asked about the satisfaction
available to our majority when
the average annual income of
our employed reached $11,500
per person 20 years from now.
He termed the argument fal
lacious" that "the needs or de
sires of men are unlimited, and
that there is, accordingly, no
satiation point." It is only for a
small, highly educated minority,
he said, that there is no satiation
point.
Professor Harrod said it may
be that "the economic struggle"
which has been the main concern
of all will "in the long run of
history prove to have been a
transitional episode."

Stephen S. Dora drinks too night in town that I really ob-
much.
Dora S He skips nights at
home.
Stephen S. Three years ago,
at my wife's insistence, we gave
up our comfortable apartment
in the city and moved way out
in the suburbs. We made this
move for the children's benefit,
but the way things are going
I wonder whether anyone will
benefit.
Because of my long trip home
from the city, my wife is left
alone a great deal. Recently she
has taken to drinking too much.
This, in itself, is worrisome
enough but when Dora drinks,
she talks. She calls all the
neighbors and tells them her
troubles. '
As a result, I learn things
about my own home from men
who ride with me on the train
to the city. That's bad enough,
but these men are aware of this
drinking problem and feel sor
ry for me. I don't consider my
wife a case for AA by any
means, but I do think she ought
to show a little more control
Dora S. Yes, I drink too
much and talk too much and
Steve, he doesn't do anything
Nothing at all, except skip a
few nights at home each week
Every day it's the same ex
cuse, "I missed my train." That's
why, after spending all day
alone with the kids, I have to
spend all evening that way too

ject.
Then there are those lovely
country week ends we had look
ed forward to. Half the time
Steve invites a guest or two
from the city and he's busy en
tertaining them, while it's the
same routine as usual for me.
I need help with different
problems affecting the children,
but Steve has simply resigned
from the family. When I suggest
moving back to the city, he re
minds me of how much we spent
to get here, as if I was entirely
responsible for that.
The Council: If most of what
Dora" says is true, we'll agree
that she's getting a very bad
break. Yet Steve undoubtedly
has his problems too with a
heavy work schedule, a long
journey to and from work and
a wife who drinks to worry
about.
A move back into the city, no
matter what the financial cost,
would probably alleviate some
of these problems, but we doubt
whether it is the whole answer.
We think it likely that the
drinking and coming home late
are both symptoms rather than
causes of unhappiness in this
marriage.
If Steve and Dora try to see
what has gone wrong with their
relationship, they'll probably
find it lacking in spirtual and
emotional content. They both
seem to have lost all desire to
contribute to one another's hap
piness. Their children are felt
as somewhat of a burden rather
than a blessing. Their home rep
resents bondage, rather than a
haven for the expression of the
greatest personal freedom.
We can't give Steve and Dora
any sure formula for finding

U. S. Savings Bonds
Nobody has a better birthright than an American
child.
Born to this land, he shares its abundance and
its privileges.
His opportunities stretch from the Golden
Gate to the Statue of Liberty in New York
Harbor. And he doesn't need a passport to reach
any of them.
All he needs are the things that you, his par
ents, can give him care, security, a good edu
cation for a richer life.
These are the important things you want ta'
save for. And one of the easiest ways to save for
them is by investing in U. S. Savings Bonds
through the Payroll Savings Plan.
Through this plan, money is set aside for you
before you get a chance to spend it. At your
company's pay office, you name the amount you
can save each payday and it is put into Savings
Bonds for you. Here, in its safest form, it can't
be lost, stolen or destroyed because the U. S.
Treasury will replace your Bonds without charge
if anything happens to them.
And you'll be surprised at how quickly youl
money in Bonds adds up to big things such at
the down payment on a home or tuition for foul
years of college. Series E Bonds now earn Wa
interest when held to maturity, mature in only
8 years and 11 months.
So isn't the Payroll Savings Plan a good way
to make sure of your youngster's share in Amer
ica? Sign up for the Payroll Savings Plan when
you work today.
