U.S. Flat Refusal Of All-Out Aid To China Forecast
(10 a.m.) Washington, Nov. 30. An appeal for all-out American aid that Madame Chiang Kaishek is expected to deliver later this week will meet with a firm rejection, say diplomatic informants.
AlUhough the full details of the United States policy have - yet to be completed, it can already be stated on good authority that any programme calling for a great increase in dollar exepnditure on more direct American participation in the actual fighting is out of thp question. It is expected that the United States will tell Madame Chiang it is ready to increase slightly the present military programme if certain conditions are accepted and fulfilled. The present military aid to China totals 125,000,000 dollars and a new additional programme amounting to 200,000,000 dollars for 1949 is regarded as probable.
This will fall far short of what General Chipng Kai-shek's Government is asking—about 10.000.000.0000 dollars.
