Cut Foreign Aid?
By STEPHEN A. BROWN and
JAMES D. HALL
Business Administration Dept.,
LaGrange College
The United States balance of
payments is a statement of the
monetary receipts from other
countries and the U. S. payments
abroad during a period of time.
Fourteen of the last 15 years
the United States has had an un
favorable balance: that is, weare
paying out more dollars than we
are receiving.
However, with regard to trade,
our position is favorable; that is,
our exports of goods and services
are in excess of our imports. For
instance, in 1964 American ex
ports were six billion dollars
more than imports. But when we
deduct from receipts the amount
of money spent by the American
tourist overseas, money invested
abroad by American business,
military spending abroad and for
eign aid loans and grants by our
government, the result is an im
balance or a balance of payments
deficit. Since 1958 the annual Un
ited States balance of payments
deficit has averaged more than
three billion dollars.
Since World War 11, our nation
has granted over 50 billion doll
ars in foreign aid. These aid pro
grams include military, econo
mic and technical assistance to
the underdeveloped countries of
the world. What interest does
the United States have in these
areas? The Research and Pol
icy Committee of the Committee
for Economic Development has
concluded that foreign assistance
has three areas of interest to
American citizens. First, eco
nomic development of these na
tions has been a major part of
the Cold War. Foreign aid is
away of transmitting our ideas
of democracy and freedom, and
of resisting Communist aggre
sion. Second, we give aid to re
lieve starvation, improve educa-

A SIX-YEAR COMPARISON
of the nation’s day and night
highway deaths, including esti
mated 1967 figures, shows extra
danger of dark hours.
Slightly more than one-half
of all traffic fatilities occur at
night. However, the fatality
rate at night is far greater in
view of decreased traffic vol
ume. In 1966 the nighttime rate
was 10.1 deaths per 100 million

NEWTON COUNTIANS:
I would like to take this op-
portunity to announce my candi
dacy for Chairman of Newton
County Board of Commissioners,
subject to the Democratic Pri
mary, Sept. 11.
If elected it will be my de
sire to serve with the newly
elected five-man Board of Com
missioners for the best Interests
of the majority of the people of
Newton County.
Your vote and influence will
be deeply appreciated.
Sincerely,

tion, and raise the standard of liv
ing. And third, to develop these
countries as a source of needed
raw materials and to provide the
U. S. with markets for exports.
Now, consider the effect of for
eign aid on the balance of pay
ments deficit. According to the
National Planning Association,
"The major direct effect of for
eign aid on the United States ec
onomy Is in stimulating exports,
and shipments under the aid pro
gram have accounted for an aver
age of 32.5 percent of total United
States exports since 1948.” Most
of the money given overseas is
used to purchase goods from this
country. For example, in 1963
the Agency for International De
velopment was able to get for
eign nations to spend over 80
percent of their new foreign aid
grants on American goods and
services. The balance of the
money grants that is not spent
on U. S. products and services
will probably be used to pur
chase goods from another coun
try, and that country may in turn
purchase U. S. goods and ser
vices.
a report by the Senate For
eign Relations Committee indi
cates that industrial gains will
last beyond the- years in which
foreign aid is granted. The
Committee says, "Many new ex
port markets may become perm
anent, as foreign buyers grow
used to United States products and
dependent upon the United States
for spare parts and replacements
for equipment purchased under
the aid programs.”
Thus, cutting foreign aid to
correct the balance of payments
deficit is unsound, since foreign
aid Increases exports, which is
favorable to the balance of pay
ments.
Furthermore, the increased ex
ports caused by foreign aid affect
United Staes domestic economic
activity. Increased activity in the
American export industries
causes an increase in the activ
ity of U. S. domestic Industries.
When demand for exports is
increased, the export industries,
in order to Increase production,
will purchase more goods and
services from domestic indus
tries. This leads to increased
employment and income.
Therefore, a cut in foreign aid
would be detrimental to our do
mestic economy. The question is:
Would this be desirable?
If you receive social security
payments and change your mail
ing address, be sure to tell your
social security office about it.
If you don’t, your next check
may not come on time.
The chart above, prepared oy
the Street and Highway Safety
Lighting Bureau, shows how
much fatalities would be re
duced at night if the rate were
the same as daytime.
Experience at high-accident
locations before and after in
stallation of adequate street
lighting has shown that light
can help reduce accidents and
deaths, according to the
Bureau.
