...Karachi, the streets of Afghanistan were thronged with shouting people, and everywhere-along the roads, and in medieval-looking Kabul-there was evidence of Russian achievement: the road to town was Soviet built, so were a silo and a milling and baking plant, so was a housing project. (U.S. aid has gone mostly for technical-assistance projects in the back country.) In his luncheon toast to the Moslem King, Ike stressed mutual "great spiritual values" and readiness to "advance the cause of freedom." The King, too, told Ike his troubles and seemed delighted that the President could understand his urgent...

The commissioners would be top-drawer private bankers-for the U.S., perhaps Chase Manhattan Bank's John J. McCloy or Detroit Bank & Trust Co.'s Joseph M.
