WASHINGTON REPORT By Your Congressman JAMES B. UTT By the time this report comes to your attention, the House of Representatives will have passed and sent to the Senate the annual appropriation for Mutual Security, commonly referred to as the Foreign Aid Program. It really should be called the annual MIS-appropriation for National Insecurity. Outside of the military assistance, which is less than half of this appropriation bill, it is unconstitutional. The maintenance of our world-wide military establishments is not covered in the current legislation, but it to be found in the regular Defense Appropriation Bill, which is still pending. My remarks, therefore, are addressed directly to the Mutual Security Program, and not to the maintenance and support of our overseas military bases. The Appropriations Committee reduced the President's request by $50 million, leaving 3.38 billion dollars. This, together with the unexpected balances, gives the fund $56 million more with which to start the new fiscal year than was available at the beginning of this fiscal year. Thus, our total expenditures for foreign aid since the beginning of the Marshall Plan have reached the staggering Knox was a fairly safe place to keep it. That makes us the simple custodian of $20 billion in gold which belongs to someone else. The damage on industry, agriculture and labor is beyond the comprehension of the American people. I will cite just one example, using a basic industry such as steel. The same ratio can be carried into practically every other field, plus or minus, but the average would be the same. Going back only to 1957, we imported 1.1 million tons of steel mill products. Two years later, we imported 4.4 million tons, an increase of 3.3 million tons. In 1957 we exported 5.2 million tons of steel mill products. In 1959 our exports dropped to 1.5 million tons—a decrease of 3.7 million tons. This makes a total spread of 7 million tons of finished steel products which were not produced in American mills by American labor. Had we produced this, it would have provided employment for 56,000 people in this industry alone. This has happened because of the money we gave to the foreign countries to subsidize their production. We have lost the production of 700,000 passenger cars a year, which would have employed 65,000 The Appropriations Committee reduced the President's request by $50 million, leaving 3.38 billion dollars. This, together with the unexpended balances, gives the fund $56 million more with which to start the new fiscal year than was available at the beginning of this fiscal year. Thus, our total expenditures for foreign aid since the beginning of the Marshall Plan have reached the staggering figure of $90 billion, all of which has been added to our national debt. The annual interest charge on this amount is $3 billion. That makes foreign aid for the coming fiscal year cost the American taxpayers $6½ billion, of which the people in the State of California will pay $500 million, or 2½ times the amount of the last bond issue that California passed for school construction. More than $10 billion of American taxpayers' money, appropriated for this program, has found its way into American government bonds and bank deposits in this country. Vast sums of money have been given to subsidize foreign government-owned industries which compete directly with the production of American free enterprise. We have given money to foreign governments to construct the most efficient toolmaking and manufacturing plants, and refuse to give our own manufacturing concerns sufficient depreciation allowance to replace their obsolete equipment. We have supported Communist governments as well as dictators, and have made no lasting friends among the foreign nations. They continue to play one side against the other. It has not stopped the spread of Communism in Europe, Asia, Africa, or even in the Western Hemisphere. With all the hundreds of millions of dollars we have given Cuba, it went Communist overnight, and it is only 90 miles from our eastern seaboard. The greatest part that America can play in world politics is to provide the world with sound currency. The American dollar is the standard value throughout the world, and if we collapse economically, through bankruptcy or inducts which were not produced in American mills by American labor. Had we produced this, it would have provided employment for 56,000 people in this industry alone. This has happened because of the money we gave to the foreign countries to subsidize their production. We have lost the production of 700,000 passenger cars a year, which would have employed 65,000 American workmen. Foreign countries have been erecting trade barriers to the point where hundreds of American companies have had to erect plants within those countries to avoid these trade barriers. Ten years ago we imported less than 40,000 sewing machines. Today we import 1¼ million, a million of which come from Japan, where the Communist rioters are showing their friendship for this great American market. We have 250 strategic bases in foreign countries which could be immobilized politically overnight by a change in governments such as now threatens Japan and Okinawa. They could also be immobilized militarily. We are constantly told that if we do not give more foreign aid, we cannot use these bases. The amount of money that we will spend for foreign aid this year would build us a nuclear-powered Polaris-equipped submarine fleet which would have more defensive and destructive power than our 250 foreign strategic bases. The program for our B-70 bombers, which can fly at an altitude of 70,000 feet and travel three times the speed of sound, has been suspended for lack of funds. We need more F108 fighterinterceptors. We are badly in need of an anti-missile missile program and additional ICBM's. All of these things could be built with what we spend for foreign aid in a two-year period. A few months before President Eisenhower took office, he said: "Certainly I know we must find a substitute for the purely temporary business of bolstering the free nations through annual handouts. That gets neither permanent results nor friends." the hundreds of millions of dollars we have given Cuba, it went Communist overnight, and it is only 90 miles from our eastern seaboard. The greatest part that America can play in world politics is to provide the world with sound currency. The American dollar is the standard value throughout the world, and if we collapse economically, through bankruptcy or inflation, the whole world will come tumbling down. Foreign currencies are supported by the gold reserves at Fort Knox. Today the foreign credits payable in gold exceed the total amount of gold at Fort Knox. In 1950 there were $23 billion in gold at Fort Knox, and the foreign credits at the time were less than $12 billion. Today, we have less than $20 billions in gold, with foreign credits totaling $23 billion, all of which could be withdrawn by these foreign countries, if they did not believe that Fort A few months before President Eisenhower took office, he said: "Certainly I know we must find a substitute for the purely temporary business of bolstering the free nations through annual handouts. That gets neither permanent results nor friends." Eight years have passed, and no substitute has been submitted. I say it's time to substitute military and economic defense of our own country for this "give way." Bankruptcy Filings New bankruptcy cases filed in federal courts during the year ended June 3, 1959 reached the all-time high of 100,672, according to Commerce Clearing House, national reporting authority on tax and business law.
