REMARKS OF THE PRESIDENT
AT THE SIGNING OF THE PAKISTAN WHEAT LOAN DOCUMENTS
IN THE EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT
SEPTEMBER 17, 1952
3.27 P. .M., E.D.S.T.
Mr. Ambassador, I am very happy that this
ceremony has taken place today, because it is our theory
always that wherever it is possible, we don t want to
see any people go hungry.
We have been watching the situation in your
country ever since we heard that your crops were short
over there, and the arrangement of this loan and the
signing of these documents makes us just as happy as I
am sure it will make those people happy who would other-
wise have gone hungry.
It is a pleasure to do that in this case.
HIS EXCELLENCY MOHAMMED ALI, THE PAKISTAN
AMBASSADOR:
On behalf of the government and the people of
Pakistan, I thank Your Excellency's government for this
offer of help and assistance to my people.
I think this is a practical and actual demonstra-
tion of the sincere desire on the part of the American
government and people to help the velopment of countries
and people who are in need of assistance, and on behalf
of my government and people, sir, I thank you and your
government.
