Dulles Returns to Address Key Foreign Policy Knots
Secretary of State John Foster Dulles flew home from Europe to tackle two major issues. He confronted Moscow's response to President Eisenhower's peace plan and a push to curb foreign aid spending. Taft and Byrd pressed for a 4.7 billion ceiling on 1954 aid, while Dulles and Stassen argued for about 5.6 billion as minimum to meet commitments in the Far East and sustain European rearmament. Dulles signaled cuts from Truman’s 7.6 billion plan and warned that the era of handouts is over. He planned to confer with Eisenhower on aid and Moscow's latest peace move.
