Dear Mr. Stens:
The bureau of the Budget staff analysis of Free erl4 and
ino"5oviet economic aid activity forwarded in draft with your
letter of 15 July 1959, has been studied by appropriate members
of my staff. and I am pleased to give yeu their comments along
with some of our views pertaining to the subject. An elaboration
of our thoughts is contained in a recent report entitled "Sino-
Soviet Bloc Economic Policies in Underdeveloped Countries of
the ffree 'World," CIA/R.R. 3943, published by this Igency in
April 1959.
As your paper inTlies, certain useful purposes can be served
by comparing the total expenditures entailed in Bloc and Free
:iorld foreign aid activities, but such comparisons can also be
extremely misleading if the dollar figures are taken out of the
context of the social-economic.pcditical milieu in which these
expenditures are being roade and by which their effects are being
supplemented or counteracted.
Although the general concluions point to the concentration
of Bloc economic assistance, there is no mention of the equally
great concentration of Western assistance and investment. Much
of the 1r ree World assistance is directed toward underdeveloped
areas that are firmly committed to the wrest. According to the
annual ICA publication, Mutual Security PrtAintrv. outh Korea.

percent of U.S. gcvv.znineutsl help while nearly 90 percent of
assistance from stern governmamts has been channeled
towards British and French overseas territories. A comparison
of assistance expenditures and investments that is limited to
those uncommitted countries in which both the Bloc and the *sat
have chosen to compete would show a considerably smaller dis-
parity between Bloc and Free World programs. In about oste-
third of these countries. Bloc aid cocoa-litotes:to actually exceed
those of the U.S. for the period under considerstion. In addition,
he number of countries in which the West simply is not competing
is growing and inchtdes a few key countries like Ethiopia and
Guinea, which until very recently wore securely in the Western
c amp.
It might be useful to point out hers that the cepa:ditties of
he Bloc for extending foreign aid are *abject to two influences:
(1) the rapid growth of total output in the Bloc countries. and
(Z) the fact that aid to Free world underdeveloped countries
represents only a part of total Soviet foreign aid. Daring the
years lffSh through 19511. for example. Soviet credit* and grants
to the European Satellites accounted for one?isall of total Soviet
credits and grants. Wave China, struggling for rapid industriali-
sation, has provided nearly $500 million in assistance to other
Bloc countries during the past five years. Obviously Bloc as-
sistance to Free *orld countries could be expanded by redi-
recting its flow away front other countries tiff the Bloc.
The following minor and specific cortirrents relate to the
tables and the explanation of the tables.
a. The instalment (p. 4 that sorts "5 no-Soviet commitment
figures include what are really barter trade agreements" is
not accurate. bloc credit agreements generally provide for
repayment in goods over a period of years (usually twelve).
This maims that the Bloc agrees to purchase goods from the
borrowing country in a volume and at a price to be determined
at the time of repayment.
b. Since December R. 1951. **vend credit. have been ex-
tended by the Moe, the total of whtcli amounts to $435 minion.

Approved For Release 2003/05/23.: CIA-RDP80601676R000800020048-2
c. Although the figures on Americans abroad (p. 3 and
Table VII) include a significant number of individuals who
are not engaged in development activity, the figures on Bloc
personnel include only persons who are associated with such
work. It also should be noted that the method of counting
heads is dissimilar. The ICA data, for example, refer to
the number of individuals present at a post in an underde-
veloped country on 31 December 1958. The Bloc figures,
on the other hand, refer to the mmiber in underdeveloped
countries for one month or longer during the period 1 July -
31 December 1958. This number has increased during the
past six months to nearly 4,700.
d. In our view, the wording for the row heading (Table 1),
which now reads "Net Effect on Balance of Payments, Free
World," should be changed. At least one item (i.e., rein-
vested earnings) that is included in this total has only an
indirect effect on a balance of payments or an effect that
is not directly rneasureable. We suggest a heading such
as "Total Public Assistance and Net Private investment and
Donations." We feel that the statement in the conclusion
(paragraph 3), comparing aid in 1960, should also be changed
to read"... one-eighth of the current rate of total public
assistance and private investment from Free Norld coun-
tries."
Pleas* call upon us again in case your staff wishes to pursue
further any of the points raised hare.

concentration of Western assistance and investment. Much of the
Free World assistance is directed toward underdeveloped areas that
are firmly committed to the West. According to the annual ICA publi-
cation, Mutual Security Program, South Korea, South Vietnam and
Taiwan alone have been receiving about 35 percent of U.S. governmental
help while nearly 90 percent of assistance from other Western govern-
ments has been channeled towards British and French overseas terri-
tories. A comparison of assistance expenditures and investments
that is limited to those uncommitted countries in which both the Bloc
and the West have chosen to compete would show a considerably smaller
disparity between Bloc and Free World programs. In addition, the
number of countries in which the West simply is not competing is
growing and includes a few key countries, like Ethiopia and Guinea,
which until very recently were securely in the Western camp.
It might be useful to point out here that the capabilities of the Bloc
for extending foreign aid are subject to two influences: (1) the rapid
growth of total output in the Bloc countries, and (2) the fact that aid
to Free World underdeveloped countries represents only a part of
total Soviet foreign aid. During the years 1936 through 1958, for ex-
ample, Soviet credits and grant* to the European Satellites accounted
for one-half of total Soviet credits and grants. Even China, struggling
for rapid industrialisation, has provided nearly $300 million in as-
sistance to other Bloc countries during the past five years. Obviously
Bloc assistance to Free World countries could be expanded by redi-
recting its flow away from other countries of the Bloc.
The following minor and specific comments relate to the tables
and the explanation of the tables.
a. The statement (p. 2) that some "Sino-Soviet commitment
figures include what are really barter trade agreements" is
not accurate. Bloc credit agreements generally provide for
repayment in goods over a period of years (usually twelve).
This means that the Bloc agrees to purchase goods from the
borrowing country in a volume and at a price to be determined
at the time of repayment.
b. Since December 31, 1958, several credite have been ex-
tended by the Bloc, the total of which amounts to $435 million.

EXPLANATION OF THE TABLES
These tables are a comparison of economic aid activity in the under-
developed areas by the Sino-Soviet Bloc, the Free World, and the International
Agencies for the years 1954 through 1958, Statistics on the Free World include
Government programs, private investment and an estimate of private donations.
The International Agencies can be considered essentially an activity of the
Free World inasmuch as the Bloc supports only one of them, the United Nations
Technical Assistance agency. There are seven tables in all:
I - Summary of Expenditures by the Free World and Sino-Soviet
Bloc on Economic Assistance to the Underdeveloped areas,
1954-1958
IIA - Regional Comparison of Net Expenditures by Sino-Soviet
Bloc and United States Government on Economic Aid,
1954-1958
- Unexpended Balances and Unused Credits by Region, 1958
III - Commitments of Sino-Soviet Bloc Assistance (Economic and
Military) by Source, 1954-1956.0.'
IV - Detail of Sino-Soviet Bloc Aid, 1954-1958
V - Free World Government Economic Aid Expenditures in
Underdeveloped areas, 1954-1958
VI - Free World Private Investment in Underdeveloped Areas,
1954-1958
VII - Comparison of Technicians and Other Professionals in
Underdeveloped Areas, 1958
The underdeveloped areas of the world are defined as the Middle East;
Asia, except Japan; Africa, except the Union of South Africa; Latin America;
and three countries in Europe, Portugal, Spain and Yugoslavia. Greece and
Turkey are included as part of the Middle East.
The tables cover the past five years, 1954 through 1958, but the
time period for each statistical series is not always the same. Figures for
the Sino-Soviet countries, UN agencies, private donations and private invest-
ment are for the calendar year. Figures for governments are for the fiscal
year of the government concerned, thus: USA, July 1-June 30; UK, April 1-
March 31, etc. Government figures for comparable time periods are not avail-
able. Bovever, the time differences involved make no appreciable effect on
either the magnitudes of the totals or their trend.
Sino-Soviet Bloc
The figures for the Sino-Soviet Bloc, except repayments, have been
taken from the Economic Intelligence Committee publication, "Sino-Soviet
Bloc Economic Activity in the Underdeveloped Areas." Repayments have been
estimated, on the basis of discussions wia013tdikigagi9teoRioetedier to

Approved For Release 2003/05/232: CIA-RDP801301676R000800020048-2
point up the small amount of repayments of Sino-Soviet credits thus far.
The official exchange rate of four rubles to the dollar has been used. While
this rate represents an over-evaluation of the ruble insofar as internal
Russian prices are concerned, in world trade, Russian export prices have
almost always approximated world price levels. It is also known that the
cost of several particular projects, such as the steel mill in India, is
reasonable by Western standards.
Although some of the Sino-Soviet commitment figures include what are
really barter trade Agreements, the total of Sino-Soviet trade with Free World
underdeveloped countries has not been covered in the presentations on Bloc
economic activity. Comparisons of Bloc trade with Free World trade have not
been included in these tables.
Almost the whole of Bloc assistance is in the form of loans. Of the
total of $2.4 billion, only $98 million has been granted, and all of it in
the economic program, as follows (figures in millions): Cambodia - $34;
Burma - $30; Ceylon - $16; Nepal - $12; Egypt - $5; and India - $1.
Communist China has made $61 million of the grants, Russia, $37 million.
Since December 31, 1958, the terminal date of the tables, the
pattern of Bloc commitments has remained unchanged with one important
exception a commitment of $137 million in economic aid to Iraq hail been
added to
exception,
military commitment of $118 million, made in October, 1950.
Private Investment
In the area of private investment, figures for the United States
are rather good, but for other countries they are incomplete. From 1954 to
19570 direct investment by other countries was $3,640 million. Several
hundred million dollars of portfolio investment are readily identifiable
and so the figure on the table has been rounded up to $4 billion. Figures
for short and medium term investment by non-Americans are not available,
but this type of investment is becoming increasingly important for the
lesser-developed countries. West Germany is the leading supplier of
these credits after the USA.
Of the $4.5 billion of American private investment in the under-
developed areas tram 1954-1957, about $1 billion represents the short-term
financing of ordinary commercial transactions. Such financing frequently
helps countries with temporary balance of payments troubles, but probably
should not be considered AS a development activity. It is worth noting
that before and after World War I portfolio investment was the favorite
form of long-term capital investment. Not until after WW I/ did direct
investment become the common form of long-term investment, and not until
three years ago was interest in portfolio investment renewed. Since 1956
portfolio investment by the U. S. has increased about three times over the
level of the early 1950s. It has also been increasing, but more slowly,
in Western Europe. (Only $40 million of American private investment is
covered by the Investment Guaranty Program.)

Technical and Related Personnel
Figures on Free World personnel, except American, are not available.
Bence, the table it limited to a comparison of the United States and the Bloc.
For this country, employees of private companies are shown as well as Govern-
ment personnel, inasmuch as both are required to make a true comparison
between the United States and the Bloc. The figures in the "private" column
are the total number of "principals" reported in the OCB study on Americans
overseas.
There is no way of identifying the number of non-government persons
engaged in activities of direct benefit to the country of residence. In many
of the Latin American countries there are a number of self-employed profes-
sional people. There are many others in non-development commercial activities,
such as the luxury trades or international passenger, shipping, and airline
companies. Some are in the twilight zone. In spite of theme reservations,
it is probably not unreasonable to assume that at least three quarters of
the number in any of the Latin American countries are associated with
development-type activities.
In Africa, the Riddle East, and Asia it can be assumed that virtually
all Americans are engaged in activities of direct benefit to the country,
except in Lebanon, where it can be assumed that the percentage so engaged is
very small.
There is one general exception in all countries - missionaries
wholly engaged in religious activities. These, however, are rather few,
probably no more than a third of the approximately 27,000 American mission-
aries abroad, because much missionary activity today is of a public welfare
sort - schools, hospitals and clinics, even agricultural technical assist-
atleet.
The personnel table is limited solely to persons engaged in economic
activities. It is in no way a measure of the number of persons from either
the Bloc or the Free World Who are engaged in political, propaganda, and other
non-economic activities.

General Conclusions of Comparison of Sino-Soviet Bloc and
tseeozma-recraarxrdw----
A brnrr
The material contained in this study covers the years 1954
through 1958 and was derived from documents published by official
agencies, U. S. and international. A few of the figures have been
estimated or interpolated, and have been no indicated. The magnitudes
of the totals have not been affected by these methods. The principal
conclusions of the study are:
1. On a world-vide basis, Soviet economic aid activity in
the past five yearn has been dwarfed by U.S. activity, public
and private. Activity by other free meld countries is also
much larger than the Bloc's.
2. Bloc activity is concentrated in a few countries. In
Syria, Egypt, and Afghanistan, Bloc activity is much larger than
all Free World programs, government and private, combined.
Though Bloc expenditures in India appear to be large, they are
much less than Free World aid. Bloc assistance to Yugoslavia
had bean large, but was cancelled about a year ago.
3. Through 1958, Bloc expenditures have been relatively
high in the military program, relatively low in the economic
program. However, on the basis of present commitments, expendi-
tures on economic aid can be expected to rise rapidly while
military expenditures Will taper off. Total expenditures should
reach an annual rater of one half billion dollars by 1960 or
shortly thereafter. Even at this level Bloc aid would be only
one-eighth of the current rate of the net outflow of resources
from Free World coUntrieS. Thus, the problems raised by Bloc
aid programs do not appear to be a function of amount, but
of selectivity, propaganda activities, method of administratiOn,
and similar matters.
4. In any comparison of technical and related personnel
of the Soviet Bloc and U.S., the figures are overwhelmingly
in favor of the U.S.

The United Nations definition of an obligation is services rendered or goods delivered. Hence, any carryover of unliquidated obligations merely represents the normal time lag in making
payments. Most European countries also base their budgets on expenditures rather than obligations, and what we call unexpended balances do not exist. There is, however, a carryover of
what we call contract authority, but no figures are available. The figure of 1,584 is the unexpended amount of Japanese reparation payments.

2/ P.L. 480 has been handled as followes Figures for Titles II and III represent deliveries and are entered in the oGranti column; figures for Title I represent deposits and are a combination of both country uses and U. S. uses,
lees Treasury dollar receipts from sales of P.L. 480 currencies. These have been taken out of the total since they represent a loss of dollar income to the country. Thus, the figures for Title I assume that all commodities
delivered represent an offset in the foreign exchange requirements of the recipient countries except for this dollar loss. The best measure of benefit to the country is the commodity import without foreign exchange lose,
rather than the share of sales proceeds used for country purposes.
1/ Contributions to the international organisations are not included in the country figures, but are shown instead as expenditures by the International Agencies.
