Talmadge Calls
For Cutback In
U. S. Foreign Aid
A “serious” cutback in U. S. j
foreign aid spending has been j
proposed by Georgia’s U. S. Sen. I
Herman E. Talmadge as “the
best solution” to this country’s
balance-of-payment crisis.
Apperaing on the Citizens'|
Council Forum, a weekly series of |
recorded interview programs pro-1
duced in Washington and distrib-;
uted to television and radio sta-,
tions throughout the nation, the |
Georgia junior senator described I
the current foreign aid spend
ing as “a global WPA project.”
Said he:
“Our dollar deficit each year •
is nearly exactly equal to our
foreign aid spending. The United
States has spent more than SBO
- on foreign aid since the I
end of World War 11. Since the
days of the Marshall Plan our
foreign aid program has degen- i
erated into a global WPA pro
ject.
‘We have made contributions
to 104 nations of all types and
characters, including Communist
coutries. We’ve given $2-billion to
Communist Yougoslavia, and
another sl-billion to Communist
Poland.
“But I think the most ridicu
lous project the Senate has ever
approved was the one to restore
the ancient historical monuments
in the Nile River Valley in Afri
ca—in the Sudan and in Nasser’s
Egypt. Nasser works hand and
glove with the Communists, and
has declared time after time his
hostility to the United States.
“The Sphinx and the Pyramids
were standing in Egypt before
Christ walkej on the face cf the
earth. They have seen the com
ings and goings of the Caesars,
the Napoleons, Hitler’s Afrika
Korps, the Mohammedan hordes,
and they stood there.
“But now, the United States
thinks we ought to take taxpay
ers’ money — money that this
country dees not have—and go
into a hostile country to spend
money on something that’s been
standing for over 3,000 years. It’s
really preposterous when you
think of it.”

NUMBER 50
commend the Secretary for this,
action—it will mean an added
boost to Georgia peanut growers
of approximately $8 million.”
GFBF President Brown earlier
had named a Farm Bureau dele
gation to confer with Secretary of
Agriculture Freeman on peanut
problems. The GFBF delegation
—Bobby Locke, Chairman of
GFBF peanut committee, of Ter
rell County; and W. J. McKemie,
Jr., member of Farm Bureau pea
nut committee and Vice Presi
dent of the State Farm Bureatt—
were in a jubilant mood upon
their return to Georgia following
the initial conference.
Such action has been a long
time objective of the Georgia
Farm Bureau, and the Federation
had worked for a number of
years to obtain an improved po
sition for Georgia peanut grow
ers. The Georgia federation also
opposed the $9.00 per ton “de
duct” for a number of years, and
had carried their protest to Wash
ington. The USDA action re
moves the deduction.
In asking for the conference
with Secretary Freeman, and As
sistant Secretary 7 of Agriculture
John P. Duncan, President Brown
had advised: “Peanuts are a vital
part of the agricultural economy
of Georgia as well as several
southeastern states. Peanut farm
ers desire a support price in 1961
which offers the opportunity for
a fair return to producers.”
“The increase totals $29 per
ton in average price support over
last year with elimination of the
deduction,” he said.
Last year’s average announced
support price was $2Ol, with $9.06
per ton deducted from the grade
support. The 1961 minimum sup
port reflects 85% of parity, $221
per ton average with elimination
of the $9 per ton deduction. The
net boost over last year will be
an average of $29 per ton to
growers.
