Résumé

In this paper I will use the terms "development," "developing countries" and "development assistance" with some frequency. As used here "development" refers to a process of change and growth in a society in accordance with the standards and values held by members of that society. The developing countries are the low income countries of the world, that is those with annual per capita incomes of less than $500. And "development assistance" or "aid" means the process whereby one country cooperates with another by transfering human and material resources to assist in development. In such cooperation both may benefit. I assume further that the people of developing countries will themselves determine their objectives and the direction of their own growth, and will provide most of the resources that will be required. Assistance from others can provide only marginal support, although at a particular moment in history that aid may prove to be a crucial factor in development.
