Suggested Statement on TCA and particularly India
for the President
A major part of our budget for the coming fiscal year
must be spent on defense. The size of these expenditures
is an unhappy reflection of the tangled and divided world in
which we are living.
We must stand by our growing defenses as long as the
present crisis continues. In the meantime we shall continue
to hope for the day when this burden may be eased not only
for ourselves but for all nations throughout the world. Let
me again emphasize that our military program has only one
objective-- to build a defense strong enough to discourage
Communist aggression.
But we know that Communism cannot successfully be met
with military measures alone. That is why a second objective
of our foreign policy must be a continuing effort to ease
the human misery in which Communism flourishes. The record
of our effort in this direction is a proud chapter in the
history of the post-war years.
Immediately after the surrender of the Nazis and
Japanese, the United States took the lead on a broad-scale
: ARCHIVES "NATIONAL SERVICE" RECORDS AND any
effort to meet the chaos and hunger which followed in the
wake of war. Through these efforts tens of millions of men,
women and children in Europe and in Asia returned towards a
productive life.
In 1947, when it became apparent that the economies of
Europe could not recover their momentum without the assistance
