...overwhelming 5-to-1 margin, St. Louis passed a $95 million bond issue to control pollution of the Mississippi River. Currently, 72 sewers in the St. Louis area pour 300 million gallons of raw sewage into the river every day. After years of talk, nearly every important civic organization in the city joined the drive to clean up the Mississippi; 104,000 public-school children carried home pamphlets explaining the bond issue. When completed in 1967, the new system will funnel wastes through a vast labyrinth of pipes into two sewage-disposal plants...

...simply that Congress has made achieving results difficult through restrictive legislation; it is that instead of an aid program that has worked for many years, the U.S. has one that is just beginning to work. The last few years have been educational. A.I.D. now knows better than to pour funds down the old ratholes; but there are more ratholes still, and the only way to identify them is to pour a little down them also. Congressional recognition of how true this is would be worth even more than larger European contributions to overseas assistance. It would be not only...
