FORMOSA AREA TRUCE PLAN
Chiang’s Need Of U.S. Aid
,NZ - Press Association—Copyright) (Rec. 11 p.m.) WASHINGTON, January 20. , Reutef s diplomatic correspondent wrote today that Nationalist China s practical dependence upon the United States for military supplies to continue the fighting gave the United States the power to impose an effectrv e cease-fire upon the Chinese nationalists at any time, w nether this was a part of a truce or not. Nalionalist China also was dependent upon the Democratcontrol led Congress, he said, to the extent that it presumably did not wish to take any action which would encourage the Senate to hold up ratification of the treaty of mutual security signed last month. The Democrats in the Senate were showing no signs of haste to take up the ratification of that treaty, he added. There had not as yet been any outright opposition. The Democrats, however, had made it clear that nothing should deprive the United States of vital freedom of choice or should enable the United States to be trapped into a war with Communist China against its will.
