Aided by this humanitarian program, total agricultural exports have grown from $2.8 billion in 1953 to an average of about $4 billion annually for the past three years.

By 1960, such movements, which had already been a feature of the political landscape during the earlier decades of the century, were coming to represent the principal form of indigenous political activity in most subject nations.
In a few years, China developed its heavy industry, just as Russia had done. It should not be forgotten that Manchuria, as well as other parts of China, had modern heavy industries long before 1949. The Manchurian factories ceased production because, when the Russians invaded Manchuria at the end of the war, they removed the machinery to Russia. Russian aid to Communist China continued to 1960.
A 600-percent increase in Federal spending on education between 1960 and 1980 was accompanied by a steady decline in Scholastic Aptitude Test scores. Excellence must begin in our homes and neighborhood schools, where it's the responsibility of every parent and teacher and the right of every child.

The percentage of the Afro-American community living still in the South had dropped from 89.7 percent in 1900 to 59 percent and for the first time, more than half of them lived outside of the Deep South.
Personal income is at an all-time high. The marked forward thrust of our economy reaffirms our confidence in competitive enterprise. But clearly wisdom and prudence in both the public and private sectors of the economy are always necessary. Our outlook is this: 1960 commitments for our armed forces, the Atomic Energy Commission and Military Assistance exceed 47 billion dollars.
"Well," he said. "This is the outline; I'll leave out technical details. It's on the miraculous element in Religion. I'm a Doctor in Physical Science, you know, as well as in Theology. And I'll acknowledge at once that one or two of the decrees of the Council of 1960 certainly seem to support them.
The war babies of the 1940's, who overcrowded our schools in the 1950's, are now descending in 1960 upon our colleges with two college students for every one, ten years from now and our colleges are ill prepared. We lack the scientists, the engineers and the teachers our world obligations require.
