Has Won Goodwill
Because it is conducted with
no motive other than com
passion for fellow human
beings in need, this, vast pri
vate aid , program has won
goodwill for America in many
lands where government
sponsored aid projects are
viewed with suspicion.
President Eisenhower re
cently described the work of
the religious relief agencies as
"an incalculable force for
good."
The most impressive aspect
of the religious relief program
is that so much is accomplish
ed with so little. The funds
available for overseas relief,
through all three major faiths,
total about 35 million dollars
a year. But the services rend
ered by these agencies would
cost at least 350 million dol
lars if they were valued on a
straight commercial basis.
