SOCIAL AND POLITICAL CONSIDERATIONS
The economic implications of foreign aid programs are impor-
tant, but we should not neglect the political, social, and moral con-
siderations. We share our agricultural abundance and the know-how
that makes this abundance possible because it is morally right.
Famines and starvation cannot be tolerated in the world today. If
food supplies do not keep pace with population growth, the peace
and security of the entire world will be threatened.
We need only scan the headlines of any newspaper to see how
much we are affected by conditions and events in the less developed
countries of the world. Our own security depends in large measure on
the prevalence of conditions under which the people of those nations
can hope to achieve higher standards of living and other benefits
in peace and freedom. If the developing nations can be helped to
achieve satisfactory growth rates under free institutions, the security
of the free world will be immeasurably strengthened.
Foreign aid is a powerful tool for the realization of our country’s
deepest aspirations for a future of peace and security.
