also the United States and the whole free world. The present Mutual Security Program has grown, by evolutionary steps, from our first postwar efforts to bring relief from the destruction of World War II. Today it combines our major efforts to win a global struggle against totalitarianism and misery. It is appropriate and desirable for the new administration and the Congress to review the Mutual Security Program Any program that occupies such a central part of our foreign policy structure, that requires such a large investment of our resources, that affects so many people in so many ways, should be so reviewed as a matter of course. The rapid pace of events would itself require a reevaluation at this time to determine the appropriateness of the timing, the scope, and the emphasis of the Mutual Security Program. Without seeking to influence such a review, it may be helpful to the new administration and the Congress to indicate what appear to me to be several basic considerations to be taken into account. We know that the men now in the Kremlin are the center of a vast conspiracy whose inexorable purpose is to blot out human freedoms throughout the world because those who direct this conspiracy deny the worth of the individual human being and despise the concept of human dignity. It is clear that the threat directed against us is simultaneously military, economic, political, and psychological; that it might move more aggressively with any or several of these weapons in any number of places at any time; and that a prime objective of current Soviet strategy is to split the free world and especially to destroy the unity of the western alliance, that it may divide and conquer. Clearly we cannot undertake to do all of the things that we should like to do to meet and overcome this threat everywhere and simultaneously. In the end certain choices have to be made-hard choices based on the best judgment we can bring to bear-as to how we shall allocate our great but not unlimited resources between use at home and use abroad, between use in various areas of the world, and between various types of programs designed primarily to strengthen our defenses, strengthen the free-world economies, or strengthen the political and social forces that are working generally for the preservation and extension of freedom. We must face the existence of a major military threat and the consequent economic burdens of rearmament and yet we must also continue to strengthen our economies and to help build sound political and social institutions upon which free societies rest; we must honor our military commitments in the Far East and recognize the military problems in other parts of the world and yet we must also preserve in our pursuit of military security in the North Atlantic area; we must be prepared to cope with unpredictable crises and yet we must design and administer our programs with a view to the long pull ahead. There is no longer any responsible body of opinion in the United States that questions the rightness of the concept of mutual security in the free world nor of the need for American leadership and the investment of American resources in this common enterprise. The questions that arise concern mainly the relationship of the Mutual Security Program to our over-all political, military, and economic policies; the magnitude of the program; the proper balance between military, economic, and technical assistance that should apply within the program; the proper emphasis of effort by geographic area; and choices involved between the relatively short-term results and the relatively long-term results that we are seeking. There are three aspects of these difficult problems which I think should be given particular attention: 1. The Mutual Security Program must be viewed within the framework of foreign and national security policy as a whole and tailored so as to provide the maximum support to that policy. This requires a grasp of complex interrelationships. We must understand that the requirements of our own Armed Forces have to be related to the requirements of the armed forces of our friends and allies, based upon a recognition that the security of the United States depends upon strong military defenses beyond our shores. We must recognize that the need for assistance has to be tied to achievement of stated foreign policy objectives-for example, the ability of France to sustain the military burden of war in Indochina directly affects her position in the North Atlantic Alliance and the progress of the European Defense Community. We must realize that the development of strong economic and social institutions in the free world is dependent upon increased productivity and economic growth in the underdeveloped areas. In particular, we must appreciate the relationship between our foreign economic policies and our domestic economic policies which are, in fact, so closely interrelated as to be, for most practical purposes, inseparable. Fluctuations in the general level of business activity in this country can have a profound impact on the economies of other nations; the continued expansion of our own industrial economy depends directly upon increased production abroad of essential raw materials; the role of United States private investment abroad and United States public loan policies affect the ability of other countries to develop and become independent of United States aid; our tariff policies and customs procedures have a great Ideal to do with the ability of other nations to earn their own way in the dollar markets. All these factors act and react on each other. If we are to make the greatest possible progress and the most effective use of our resources, all of our policies and programs-foreign and domestic-must be internally consistent and must mutually support each other. 2. Programs to help build collective strength in the free world can no longer be considered as emergency measures, but as essential to the security of the United States in the cold war struggle which may be with us for a long time. We have a great stake in maintaining strong economies and strong defenses among the nations of the free world and for some time to come this will require assistance on the part of the United States. As for the underdeveloped areas of the free world, economic development and technical assistance programs are long-range by nature. The time has come to stop thinking about mutual defense and foreign economic programs as stopgap measures and to think about them as activities which for the sake of our own security require considerable forward planning. I do not mean to suggest that grants from this Government should continue indefinitely. But so long as there is need for any aid, there will also be need for careful planning on a longer and more consistent basis than has been provided by our traditional process of annual appropriations. We must work out measures which will enable longer range planning than is now possible, without impairing the proper responsibilities of the Congress for appropriating funds and overseeing their expenditure. We must all realize that the Mutual Security Program is a joint endeavor requiring substantial contributions by each and every partner, because the program is directed at objectives in which all participants have a large common interest. For our sake and for our partners' sake, it will be desirable to develop a longer range approach than the 1-year review and renewal of our programs which has been the practice since the end of the Marshall plan. 3. We need to examine anew our programs in the underdeveloped areas. It has become increasingly clear that the steady but slow contributions from technical asssitance must be complemented, in one form or another, by capital development. Funds are needed to help the underdeveloped countries build such key facilities as dams, power plants, and transport, and to increase the production of basic commodities-raw materials and food-which are essential to the achievement of an expanding freeworld economy, including our own. There are several other aspects of the Mutual Security Program that warrant study and possible adjustment. For example, we need to find methods to expedite delivery of end-item military equipment and to achieve the optimum volume of offshore procurement. Naturally, the essential requirements of Korea and other active combat areas must first be satisfied. But, beyond this, in allocating military equipment, we must hold to the principle that those who may be called upon to fight first should be adequately equipped first. The armed forces of our allies in Europe and in critical areas in other parts of the world are manning the frontiers of freedom. We will be sacrificing a substantial measure of our own security if we do not see to it that these forces are speedily and adequately equipped. 1 With respect to offshore procurement, we need to recognize that the development of a production base abroad is essential if the free world is to have the necessary equipment and supplies should war come and if our friends and allies are to be in a position ultimately to assume responsibility for their own defense. Mutual security funds must be so directed as to assure achievement of this basic security objective. We need to keep constantly in mind the crucial fact that the end objective of mutual security arrangements is the preservation and strengthening of freeworld unity. The essential unity of aims and major policies of the western alliance is so steadfast that we can afford to disagree over details and methods. This, in fact, is the basic strength of a democratic relationship-that we each have views and express them-and then work out our differences. But we must be forever alert to the certain efforts that will be made by the Kremlin to seize these differences and exploit them as issues, to convince our friends and allies that they have lost their independence and that the United States is using the lever of "aid" to coerce its allies into following policies and programs unilaterally laid down in Washington. donor-recipient relationship-the suggestion of charity-implicit in the term "foreign aid" is psychologically unhealthy. It is well known that this has caused increasing anxiety on the part of some of our allies. We may regard this as a welcome sign of independence and vitality on the part of people who rightly resent any suggestion of United States dominance over their own affairs. The term "foreign aid" is obsolete, unsound and unworthy as a conceptual basis for the great ventures in international partnership upon which we are engaged. As partners in a free association of independent nations we have grown in strength and unity. As such-but only as such-can we find together still greater strength and greater unity. The It has been our conscious purpose to maintain a high degree of flexibility in the Mutual Security Program. Such flexibility implies the need for continuing review and reevaluation by both the Congress and the executive branch. I am pleased and proud that as I leave office the Mutual Security Program is a going concern with a record of splendid accomplishment. The great forward strides toward collective defense, toward economic progress, and toward free world unity that have taken place under the Mutual Security Program will stand out as dramatic and historic accomplishments in the twentieth century struggle for peace and decency for mankind.
