For this is no arbitrary cut-off dictated by economic isolationism. It is rather a recognition that the aid has accomplished its basic purpose and is no longer necessary. Not that Britain recovery from the devastation of war is complete. She still struggles in the strait- jacket of auste: But fundamental industrial re- habilitation is assured now. Sterling resources have been substantially rebuilt. The dollar lag has been erased. It is triply fortunate for this nation that such a degree of recovery has been achieved just now. First because the free world badly needs the prop of another economically stable nation in addition to this one. Second because foreign-aid demands on the resources of this nation.are so great that it is good to be able to get rid of at lesat one of those de- wiie credited in this paper and slso the local news published herein NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alaska Newspapers, 1411 Avenue Bidg., Seattle, Wash. Saturday, February 3, 1951 DIMWIT “How childish can people get?” a young man named George L. Sherry would like to know. He is an official interpreter for the United Nations, and, as part of his duty, puts the speeches of Andrei Y. Vishinsky into English. Sometimes when he is identi- fied as the “voice” of the Soviet delegates he becomes the victim of boos and hisses, as though he were responsible for the ideas of Mr. Vishinsky. The fact is that Mr. Sherry has a substantial back- ground of conservatism and anti-Communism, there- fore does not hold at all with what Mr. Vishinsky mands. Third because this action gives the lie to those who have maintained the program of foreign aid would be an endless thing. Perhaps that last is most important for the long run. be running especially strong of late. people have been coming to say that any program of More and more l aid abroad was a pouring of cash down a bottomless | rat hole, sheer waste. They can see their answer in practice now. Aid to Britain is not going just to run on and on forever. It has achieved its goal and so it is now to end. And that .goal has been a worth- while one—the salvaging of a whole great nation. In 32 months the United States has allotted to Britain $2,694,300,000. With that sum it has bought the recovery of its principal ally in the western world. The bargain seems not at all a bad one. Our larger cities move to comb the undeserving from their welfare lists.
