NINE PASSENGERS
INTERNED,
Sacrosanct Foreign Aid Projects
By ERNEST GRUENING, United Stales Senator Irom Alaska
(From The Congressional Record)
46TN THE LAST YEAR we have been borrowing
money from our own people to be able to spend
abroad as the $12 billion deficit in 1959 reveals and,
under the policies of this Administration, which wishes
to raise interest rates, our people will have to pay still
more to raise the money to give and lend to foreign
nations, whereas, loans made to foreign countries are
really not true loans at all, since they are repayable
in soft currencies, which makes them virtually gifts,
masquerading as loans.” . . .
“Here is one item for $10 million for a textile
mill in the Sudan.
“Here is one for $2 million for agricultural and
industrial development in Somalia.
“Here is one for $800,000 for construction of a
warehouse in Nigeria.
“Here is one for $23 million for an irrigation pro
ject for the Kingdom of Morocco.
“Here .is one for $5 million for an electric power
plant for the Government of Libya.
“Here is one for a pulp factory in Tunisia; and so
on — projects which in this country our Government
would denounce as socialistic and all the other adverse
things that it says about any projects for the Amer
ican people.
What makes these foreign aid projects sacrosanct?
Yet projects costing much lesser amounts, projects
which have been carefully worked out, have passed
both bodies of Congress, which are aimed at relieving
distress, whether for area redevelopment, education,
housing, resource development or to end water pollu
tion, needs that exist in this country, are labeled as
‘unnecessary, unwise, and costly’?” . . .
“It is my sincere opinion that the devotion of that
small fraction of our gross national product to such a
worthy purpose at home has at least as much merit
as devoting many times that much to similar projects
abroad.”
Does Khrushchev j
Fear Ike’s ‘Good
Will to All Men’-?
By J. M. ROBERTS
Associated Press News Analyst
Was Soviet Premier Khrush
chev so impressed with President
Eisenhower’s ability to arouse
j good will among foreign peoples
that he was actively afraid of
having the President visit the i
Soviet Union.
Has the word gone out to the I
international Communists to stop
the goodwill trips, as is now being
tried in Japan?
Arrangement for an Eisenhower
'visit to the Soviet Union was
made last year when Khrushchev
was invited to the United States.
After that the President was
received almost with adulation in
South Asia and South America.
Khrushchev immediately tried
to get back into the swim in South
1 Asia, but found the water had
turned very, very cold.
If Khrushchev was seeking an
excuse to disrupt the summit
conference because he saw he
wasn’t going to get anything there,
was he also seeking an excuse
to cancel his arrangement with
Eisenhower even before the U-2
incident?
There are those who attended
the Paris conference who think so.
Now it appears that the demon
strations in Tokyo are primarily
a Communist enterprise, and that
they are directed as much or more
against the President’s scheduled
visit as against the security treaty
of the Japanese government.
Khrushchev has been busy for
years tryihg to make other peoples
consider him and the Soviet
Union as the real peace force in
the world, a force which has not
succeeded purely because of op
position from the capitalist
countries.
Eisenhower was rapidly erasing
the picture Khrushchev was try
ing to draw. The President’s sin
cerity reached even those who
could not understand his words.
This was a serious thing for
Khrushchev. He was already run
ning risks with powerful forces at
home which opposed the “soft
line” he was using to sell the
idea that Communist peace and
prosperity was better than capi
talist peace and prosperity.
The United States has accused
him directly of being influenced
by troubles at home.
He got a chance to claim the
President and the United States
were taking chances with peace.
He played the tune for all it was
worth, and more, and nobody
knows yet how it may affect the
history of the world.

Jim and Ruth McLean
Proprietori
j U-A Extension Leader
Tells How to Recognize,
Guard for Lurking Hazards
COLLEGE — To assure greater
safety for tots and toddlers, em
bark on a community-wide hunt
for hazards, suggests the Univer
sity of Alaska Cooperative Ex
tension Service home economics
leader, Miss Agnes Sunnel. She
| advises that “once spotted, all
I danger areas should be eliminated
I or sealed from access to small fry.
I If this is impossible, then ar
rangements should be made for a
constant watch by adults of dan
ger spots.”
Miss Sunnell lists the following
as spots to check in the hunt for
hazards:
Excavations — Playing in or
around ditches, excavations or
piles of dirt from digging opera
tions always invites an accident.
A cave-in or a falling overhang
could cause a death from suffoca
tion or crushing; and a fall into
an excavation could result in
broken arms, legs, neck, etc.
Playing on piles of dirt is danger
ous; a person could be injured
rolling down this artificial hill, or
he could roll into, or under dig
ging machinery.
Empty houses — Empty houhes
should not be used as places to
play. Entering them is against the
law, as well as dangerous. Broken 1
windows may cause serious cuts;
rotten stairs or floors may col
lapse. Since the electricity is
usually turned off, there is danger
of tripping or falling over unseen
obstacles.
Dumps and Junk Yards — Cuts,
falls and accidents by crushing
may occur very easily in these
areas. And deaths by suffocation
have been caused when children
thoughtlessly lock up companions
in discarded ice boxes, etc.

fair retraction.”
