Mount Pleasant News (Newspaper) - November 11, 1958, Mount Pleasant, Iowa The it. Pleasant news these Days by George e. Sokolsky 1 0 we owe them Money every morning i receive quite a few documents from foreign governments designed to give me information on various subjects. Much of it is hardly Worth the postage but then men need jobs and women need them too. Admittedly it is impossible for anyone to read All this material but an occasional sampling brings Forth something useful. Such a one is a for the record Quot published by the Arab information Center which is a complaint that the United states gives More Money to Israel than to the Arab states. That May or May not be a fact but it is our Money and we can do with it As we like. We owe nothing to the i arabs or to Israel and if we do i them a favor by giving them some Money they ought to be grateful for our generosity and sympathy1 and not give us any lip about How we should spend our own dough. 0 o. J these arabs have worked it out statistically. It seems that they Ligure that the Quot american taxpayer has on the average paid thirty five cents per year for each a for. The record Quot thinks that that is too Little. If it is Bakh Sheresh a j gentle word for graft in their Tongue it. It May be too Little but actually what is this Money being paid for the report does not say. It Only save that Israel gets More. Let me quote a paragraph from this Arab document published in the United states for american consumption a no mater which Way one looks at these assistance statistics the United states government has Given considerably More help to Israel than to All the Arab countries. There can be Little wonder that informed quarters have expressed Strong criticism of american economic policies in the Middle Eastern and North african areas. There is Little wonder that the belief has spread among Many Middle easterners that the United states has not Only ignored the Arab states but that it positively sup ports certain states Over the Arab 8<> what suppose we decide to give no american Money to any country unless we get a quid pro quo that is something for something. What will these arabs give us that we have not contracted and paid for by now ? the sad fact about foreign Aid is that Many countries no longer j recognize that this is a Charity to them an act of generosity on the part Ollie american people. They have been aided so freely that they have come to believe that it is j coming to them that we Are in of feet bribing them to do something for us. That is Why some coun tries Are putting conditions on foreign Aid a no strings 0 a 0 it is Well nigh time to remind such countries that the Choice is still ours and also that we do not care whether they do go to soviet Russia for Aid. Let the russians go broke sending their material wealth to weak and backward countries these governments need a dose of russian instructors and expense and organizers. Nehru let them in and now the state of Kerala is communist suddenly Nehru is beginning to realize what a Trojan horse can mean. This is not merely an Arab question whoever put out this piece of propaganda is a poor hand at tie Job. Instead of Licking the Boot of his Benefactor lie tries to bite the calf of his leg because he j gives some other country a Little i More. It proves nothing it changes nothing but it shows his Boss that vol. 80, no. 206 it.
