Buckley Attacks Humphrey On Foreign Aid And Zaire
William F. Buckley Jr accuses Senator Humphrey of inconsistent foreign aid logic, contrasting aid to Zaire with aid to New York City. Buckley argues aid aims to help, not harm, and that Republican cautions reflect broader fears of mislocated support and misplaced priorities in postwar global policy. He notes past threats over Israel relations and frames New York City aid as drawn from taxpayers outside the city.
