The Christian Science Monitor recently hailed this successful foreign aid mission in two articles which I would like to insert in the RECORD. [From the Christian Science Monitor. July 6. 1965] FoRMOsAs GRADUATION We can think of a number of reasons to say "bravo" at the announcement from Washington that the Republic of China on Formosa no longer needs American economic aid. For example: We are delighted that Formosa--despite the everpresent threat from Communist China. the need to settle hundreds of thousands of mainland Chinese refugees and soldiers. the tremendous damage done the island during World War IIhas been able to work up to a state of selfsufficiency. We believe that Formosas hard work and good showing will strengthen the islands claim to independent status from Communist China. We welcome this further evidence that American foreign aid can and does result in an economically handicapped areas learning to pay its own way.
