...deny that technical aid alone is no panacea. Clearly, military forces are needed to counter opposing armies--whether in Korea, Iran or Germany. But technical aid is still the best weapon the U.S. has to demonstrate to the uncommitted peoples of free Asia and Africa that democracy can produce new roads and more rice. In a period of "competitive coexistence," the Administration should realize that technical aid is one of its most potent weapons...
