ANSWERS TO WHO KNOWS
"There is a destiny that shapes
our ends” o.k. but our middles are
our own "chewsing.”
The most optimistical Optimist
we have heard of is the 80 year old
man who bought a lot in order to
build a roomy house that was near
a school.
THE PROPOSAL THAT the
United States use foreign aid
funds and surplus food to force
social and economic reforms in
other countries is an affront to
human pride and dignity.
Even poor people have self-
respect and even the most back
ward and illit
erate of them
are hardly
likely to con
sider them
selves compli
mented by be
ing arbitrarily
cast in the role
of a donkey
coaxed by a carrot on one end
and prodded by a stick on the
•other. Most of the resentment
of the United States rampant
in the world today can be traced
to the “holier-than-thou” atti
tudes and actions of idealists,
reformers and meddlers who in
sist that the world must be
made over in the American im
age. To attempt to use our dol
lars and food to bribe and intim
idate other people into changing
•their ways to conform the no
tions of what some bureaucrat
thinks they ought to be can only
add fuel to the flames of Com
munist propaganda that Ameri
cans feel superior to and look
down on the rest of the world.
A RECENT REPORT of the
House Committee on Foreign
Affairs affords a classic example
of what happens when Ameri
cans try to reform other people.
We spent $65-million to build
a new camp for the Army of
Pakistan on that country’s
Northwest Frontier. The Amer
ican military planners did not
like the customs of the Pakistani
soldiers whereby they kept herds
of sheep and goats and slaught
ered, cooked and ate them on the
>74 •f'fcv
spot and whereby they shaved
one another during the after
noon rest periods. Therefore,
they had installed at great ex
pense elaborate walk-in refrig
erators for the storage of meat
and fancy bathrooms with mir
rors, globe lights and individual
wash basins for the men.
As the result of this misplaced
military missionary zeal to
change Pakistani hygenic and
dietary habits the American tax
payers are stuck with the bill
for facilities which will never
be used and our ally Pakistan
has been needlessly embarrassed
by the attendant publicity.
* * *
NO PROGRAM HAS a great
er potential for international
good will than Food for Peace.
Carried forward as an instru
ment of Christian charity it
could be a vehicle for winning
more friends for the United
States than all the 85 billions of
dollars spent on foreign aid. It
would be unfortunate indeed if
that hope should be dashed by
administrators who have been
quoted as saying they want to
use the program as a weapon
to force land and other eco
nomic reforms in Latin America.
It is impossible to understand
what would be wrong with this
country giving aid simply in
terms of sharing its food and
fiber with those in need and of
joining in mutual defense ef
forts with those willing to stand
with us in the struggle against
Communism. The surest way
for us to wind up standing alone
is for us to persist in attempts
to reform the world and to put
conditions on our charity.
