The point is brought out very - clearly in tlie first rep«>rt of the Citi zens Foreign Aid Committee entitled “Foreign Aid and You." This com- m it tee is composed of distinguished Americans, including T. Coleman Andrews, former Commissioner of Internal Revenue: SpruiUe Braden, former ambassador to Argentina; Clarence Manion, former Dean of Law at Notre Dame University, and General Albert Wedemeyer, one of the nation’s ablest military leaders. The report is a brilliant expose of the fallacies of foreign aid. To be gin with, the- committee is not against reasonable assistance over seas But it points out that aid ‘should have one purpose only — to provide for the common defense and promote the general welfare of the United States." The truth about foreign aid today is that it is impending the welfare of the Republic. Let’s look at the cost of foreign aid! The Marshall Plan, proposing a maximum expenditure of $13.5 bil-' lion in foreign aid, was launched in 1948, with a very definite promise from the then President that it would be wound up in four years That first year, the committee not es. some 450 persons were employ ed by the government to administer; Strom Thurmond Reports RED BILL OF RIGHTS In recet years the U. S Supreme Court in decision after decision has, been drawing up for Americanj Communists and their fellow trav elers and sympathizers a long Bill of Rights, which the Communists say have made it much easier for them to operate in this country. In a recent issue of the Worker, the of ficial news organ of the Communist Party, the paper's general manager. Mr William L Patterson, Urged more boldness by party members with these words . "Let's be bolder McCarthyism has sustained-a iHuriffung defeat in our country American reaction has in fact sustained a number of de feats on the political as well as moral front "We say this because it must be made clear thart the prevailing po litical atmosphere permits increas ing activates with lessening danger of victimization " Here is the Supreme Court’s Bill of Rights for Communists: 1. A citizen can be a member of the Communist Party without being in violation of the law. (SACB case) 2 A Communist—or any other cit izen—may legally advocate forcible overthrow of the government as an abstract doctrine i Yates case i 3. A Communist or Manner cannot be pf^s^cuted f>r forming new Com munist cells i Yates case* 4 A fed era I employee cannot be fired from a*"am-*en»iti\e'‘ job fbr associa tom with Communists iCoIe and Srrtiee cases) S A witness before a congression al committee cannot he t mopetled to r questions about Communist tiOn> uniess the questions arc clearly to be twrtinent to the •t under investigatem.

A person can not be denied a passuprt to travel abroad merely because of Com munist beliefs or associations (Day- ton case i h A firofessor cannot be question ed- by a State agency as to his be liefs in Communism or his advocacy i of Communism in the classroom. (Sweezy case) 9 A board of educa-1 tion cannot fire a teacher for ref us-1 j »ng to answer questions about Com- ( munist activity (Shxhower case) 10. A Communist cannot be pros- I ecuted by a State for the crime of | sedition. (Nelson case) 11. A State| cannot deny bar membership to a 1 lawyer who refuses to say whether he is a communist. (Schware and Konigsberg cases) 12 A Communist who has been told to leave this country under a deportation order more than six months old cannot be kept under surveillance by the U. S. Ataorney General. (Witkovich case) 13. An alien who violates the Internal Se curity Act by joining the Communist party after entering the U. S. can wipe out this crime by leaving the country, quitting the party, and then re-entering the country. (Bonetti case) For the latest favoritisms to Com* munists. watch your Supreme Court decisions. and distribute foreign economic aid. Ten years and $41 billion later this staff has grown to 12,000 employes directing 2.000 projects In addition, some 9,000 persons are engaged in the military-assistance program which has totaled $23 billion. Advocates of foreign aid advance the argument that foreign aid strengthen the defenses of the free world. The facts disprove this. ‘‘The population of prosperous European NATO countries.” the committee points out, "is 50 per cent greater than ours. And the NATO countries are exceedingly reluctant to furnish troops for their own defense. The French only recently withdrew their fleet uniLs from NATO control No one on the NATO nations has sug gested that the United States with draw its foreign aid or its military equipment and manpower that pro- tects Europe from Red aggression. Foreign aid encourages ingrati tude an<j dependence on America at the same time But the problem goes deeper. A number of Central American, South Asian and Far Pa cific countries have received in all more than $10 billion in military as sistance. Yet some of these reci pients "are hostile to the United States." Though we are spending billions each year, we are not better loved around the world. Nations have not been won to the cause of freedom by king-size gifts from the United States. Actually, says the committee, for eign aid "has tended to promote philosophies akin to communism." Foreign aid to Britain after World War II helped British socialists fi nance the nationalization of private property. “Our dollars,” the com mittee makes clear, “also have as sisted Britain to adopt socialized medicine.” By underwriting . social ism in Great Britain, we have done the people of that country a great dis-service We enabled radicals to fasten on them a hurtful form of government. Someday they may hate us for this deed. Britain is not the only country in which foreign aid money has helped a bad cause. By giving our money to such countries as India, Poland and Yugoslavia, we have helped dig the grave of free enterprise in those lands. American foreign aid, says the committee, is "helping establish the very system of .state slavery we set out to combat." For the United States to continue foreign aid is a dis-service both to this country and >to the countries that receive it. The longer this aid is continued the more we weaken American strength that protects freedom and the more unprepared other countries are to accept the responsibilities of self-wffiency.
