I believe that the taxpayers of this country do not look with favor on a permanent program by which we will continue to subsidize our exporters through recurring large foreignaid appropriations in order to give to foreign nations the needed dollars to purchase the goods which under present conditions they may only purchase in this country. I also believe that the people of this country do not wish to drive most of the nations abroad into the necessity of very. heavy trading with the nations on the other side of the Iron Curtain. If European and Asiatic nations are forced to enter into such close relations that they look to the Communist nations for the goods necessary for their welfare and to the same nations for markets for their agricultural products and manufactured goods. it will not be too long .before they will inevitably look to these same nations for their cultural and political ties. In the past. Western Germany sold many of its manufactured goods to East Germany. to Poland. to the Ukraine. and to the Balkans in exchange for agricultural products.
