6 MAIL TRIBUNE, M.dford, Oreeen, Sunday, February 8, 1959 " Cy Woiir pk ff Gireoft PeeDSooims American taxpayers will spend 60 cents of every budg et dollar ($45,805,000,000) for military security and civil and defense mobilization in the fis cal year 1960, if Congress ac cepts the President's budget proposals of Jan. 19. In con trast 3 cents of each budget dollar ($2,129,000,000) will go for the conduct of foreign affairs, including all economic or, nonmilitary aid abroad. The Administration budget would reduce U.S. military manpower and weapons pro-curement-although increased funds are slated for missiles development-and would cut back on military aid to allies abroad. While holding foreign economic aid to what some critics call "starvation levels," the proposed budget would Announcement Concerning Plywood Working Shares $1,500.00 Each of Universal Plywood, Inc. t.

These proposals, some critics fear, may fall short of the nation's needs in the continu ing cold war, and may impair the capacity of the Western alliance system to keep the peace. Attempt To Check Reds For years the West has at tempted to check the further spread of communism through world-wide mutual defense al liances, spearheaded by U.S. military power and backed by U.S. military and economic aid to its allies. But debate has been brew ing for some time in Congress on first, the adequacy of U.S. military defense, and second, on the proper balance between foreign military and foreign economic aid. The Adminis tration's budget recommenda tions crystallize this debate along three lines. First, critics ask whether the outlays planned for the various military services are adequate, especially in view of the doubts many of them have about our missiles ca pacity in relation to that of the Soviet Union. Second, while the Adminis tration has met much former criticism of mutual security policies by reducing military assistance abroad (at-least out side the European area), for eign affairs experts are con cerned whether the economic aid proposals in -any' way match up to U.S. responsibili ties in the underdeveloped world. ' Significant Shift Third, some critics see in the new budget a significant shift in U.S. cold war strategy. In the future more emphasis . ENDS TOMORROW, J A rcher9 ONCE-A-YEAR SAVINGS!

Administration leaders have expressed concern on these same points. Defense Secretary Neil H. McElroy assured Congress that he and the Joint Chiefs of Staff consider the new budget "adequate to provide for the essential programs necessary for defense of the nation for the period under consideration." On Jan. 29 he said that U.S. policy was to rely on "diversified capabili ties" rather than attempt to out-pace the Soviet Union's missiles program. Secretary of the Army Wil bur M. Brucker, acknowledg ing that 18 "limited wars!' have broken out since 1945, offered this counsel to Con gress: "While all of us rec ognize the primacy of nuclear retaliation as the major de terrent to general war, we must not, in our zeal to pro vide for this capability, ne glect to meet the force ' re quirements for limited war." May Increase Aid Capitol Hill reporters feel quite certain that, before the new fiscal year begins, the present Democratic-controlled Congress will probably in crease the budget for defense and for foreign economic, aid. In whatever form the U.S. budget is finally passed, ob servers agree, Congress will have to make up its mind on the question: What does the Western alliance need, in pow er and effectiveness, if it is to keep the peace? That all is not well with the Western alliance system, few observers deny. At its heart is NATO-an association of predominantly democratic states. Within this pact freely expressed differences are bound to arise from time to time. Concerned About Weapons The NATO partners have been concerned for several years about what atomic weapons the West Europeans nations should have and what role the new German military machine should play in the alliance. Even before he became the new French President, Gen. Charles de Gaulle called for a greater leadership role for France in NATO. Paris has also long insisted that France join the "atomic club," by producing its own nuclear weapons. The United States and Britain have so far re sisted both of France's ambi tions. In North Africa, French NATO t r o op s have been pinned down in prolonged strife in Algeria. Three NATO members-Turkey, Greece and Britain-are at odds over the future of Cyprus. NATO has been unable significantly to influence the outcome of either of these problems. Prominent Parts Beyond NATO the Western alliance system extends to the Baghdad Pact and to the alli ance of the South East Asian states (SEATO) in both of which the United States and Britain take prominent parts. The United States also main tains mutual defense alliances with individual countries like Japan, the Philippines, Ko rea and Taiwan. Problems have arisen in these alliances also. Many critics of the Taiwan-United States alliance feel sure that this country was close to war last year as a result of back ing the Chinese Nationalist government in the dispute with Communist China over the offsire islands in the Tai wan Strait. Observers agree the Baghdad Pact has been seriously weakened by the Iraqi revolution last summer and the virtual withdrawal of its only Arab member. If the anti-Communist alli ance faces trouble on military and political grounds, the Western powers are also hav ing economic and political difficulties with the so-called "third world," observers agree. Economic Growth The nations of Africa, Asia and Latin America (many of them newly independent since World War II) are on the march to economic growth and development. Yet Western economic assistance to date has made little impact on living standards; economic and social problems in these parts of -the world are acute; and political instability throughout these lands offers tempting targets for Commu nist penetration. Spokesmen for both U.S. political parties have warned that one of the most import ant battles of the cold war is now being waged in the underdeveloped world. Both the Soviet Union fand Com munist China ' are 'now com peting with the West in aid and trade in this area. The great fear is that pres sures now operating in the underdeveloped world may ultimately lose these billion or more peoples to commu nism. Economic difficulties, compounded by a population explosion and frustrated by lack of capital and skills, may turn "these nations to the painful but quick Communist route to industrialization and economic growth. Require Investment Alliances and modern wea pons, no matter how power ful, will not deal with the heart of this challenge, ex perts agree. Preventing the expansion of communism in the underdeveloped world will also require an invest ment in economic growth and development. The current budget debate will have to find an effective balance be tween the military and the economic. -While most foreign affairs exports agree on the para mound need to keep .the free world strong, a growing number feel that the policy of containing communism, as first hammered out in the U.S. aid program to Greece and Turkey, may,-no longer be adequate to cope with the. revolutionary world of today. As the Western alliance system developed, the United States joined in mutual de fense arrangements with 42 countries. At the same time both the Communists and the Western powers have gained the capacity to destroy each other. The Communist world also greatly expanded its power and resources through the 1950 victory of commu nism in mainland China. Concurrently, the world's population elsewhere is grow ing at a rate alarming to all demographers. Freedom from foreign colonial rule for over 20 nations, achieved after World War II, has been fol lowed by the growth of. na tionalism throughout the non Western world.
