Pros and Cons of Foreign Aid League Organizes Work for New Year Citizen's View of '52 (Quotes from a National "Memo") Coming Events Did You Know?

"The Pros and Cons of Foreign Aid" In a recent article in the New York Times Magazine, Paul G. Hoffman, former E.C.A. chief, says that "foreign aid" is an unfortunate and inaccurate phrase and that we should speak of it as "world investment." He cites the fact that the only two provinces in China to put up any real resistance to the Communists, were those in which E.C.A.'s Rural Reconstruction Program had made a start. Senator Connally, on the other hand, seems to believe it a much too costly investment. Which opinion can League members accept? The League has chosen as the topic of its April meeting, THE PROS AND CONS OF FOREIGN AID. The speaker will be Neal Bowers, Associate Professor of Geography at the University of Hawaii. He was with the government during the war, in Washington and overseas, primarily in the Far East. He has done research on the resettlement problem in the Trust Territory. He is, at present, teaching political geography and can bring us good background information at the April membership meeting.
