Mount Pleasant News (Newspaper) - December 3, 1958, Mount Pleasant, Iowa The it. Pleasant news these Days by George e. Sokolsky the theory of foreign Aid Khalid i. Bahaa in a letter on the subject of american Aid to the Arab countries includes one sentence which interested me keenly. It says a foreign Aid by one country to another cannot be labelled As a Charity or an act of generosity. In the doctrine of the american people the word Charity has no ugly connotation. It descends from the latin word for love. In the old j testament the word for Charity is i Zadaka which includes the idea of i Justice. In a word the Judaic i Christian concept of Charity i identical with social Justice. It has to do with mans humanity to Man. Tile United states has a Iona tradition of objective giving. Our red Cross and Relief organizations have Moed into disaster areas without regal d to Friend or foe. The w Ork of the belgian Relief the feeding of famine stricken russians after world War i by the american Relief under Herbei t Hoover the Relief operations of the United states in Japan after the earthquake of 1923, Are but a few examples of the american attitude toward other Peoples. Quite apart from the Marshall plan european economic Aid. Etc., the american people go in for Charity in a big Way. They believe in Charity give freely do it As an act of love and j social Justice. Similarly the word generosity it includes no unfavourable connotation.1 generosity requires no quid pro quo. And the United St ates de j mands none. When political announce that thy will Only accept american Aid a with no string a Taheed a what they mean is they want a License to steal that is. That whatever Money they receive from the United states shall be expended by the politicians w without Check or supervision so that they can steal As much for themselves and their favourites As they choose and when tile people wonder what has happened to the benefactions a the Root of this word Means bless i from the United states they curse our country giving the masses the i impression that we gave them nothing. It is not to be forgotten that soviet Russia received $11.ooi .000,-000 from this country a without strings attached a and having used the Money and machinery to its own advantage turned upon us and Btu ame our enemy. Babaa takes the position that when one country assists another the objective is to help both countries. I should like to see in specific terms.

A Bahaa complains about the size of american Public Aud Privat gifts to Israel. There he oversteps the Mark of Good manners. He is a foreigner in our land with Freedom of speech but certainly with no right to meddle in our affairs. If we choose to spend our own Money for any purpose whatsoever that us our business. If we choose to give Israel Mote than we rive Egypt that is strictly our private affair if we prefer not to give anything to either of them that also is our private affair. Since when do those who receive Issue orders As to How much the Benefactor shall give and to whom most americans Are beginning to feel that we have Given away too much of our wealth that we have often been licked and fooled by other nations that numerous politicians and their business associates have enriched themselves on our Aid while our Money intended to help Hie masses to a High Standard of life never reached them. Many americans Are wondering at the use of american Aid to stimulate commercial Competition against America in the markets of the world. Except As regards great Britain. West Germany and possibly France precisely where Are these quid Pio quo benefits to the United states Babaa has raised an interesting Point when he complain that we give one nation too much and another too Little. Perhaps the answer is to Cut off All Aid and depend upon american private capital to make sound business investments in these countries. The word sound might Embarrass some countries which offer wonderful business opportunities whereas they actually have nothing to offer.
