Professor Charles A. Beard in The Republic quotes Justice Joseph Story as saying that the welfare clause of the Constitution, broad as it is, would hardly embrace such objects as “for instance, propagating Mahometanism among the Turks.”
The officials of the Voice of America evidently have read neither Beard nor Story. For some time the Christian missionaries of the Middle East have been protesting the Moslem propaganda activities of the VOA as improper, unauthorized, hypocritical and politically inept and futile.
