Britain France And Low Countries Mav Get Much Help From Truman Plan
NEW YORK, July 23 (Recd. G p.m.) —The “Times” says Britain, France, and the Low Countries were expected to receive relatively heavy aid under President Truman’s plan for military assistance to non-Communist Europe. The “Times” Washington correspondent said the reason was that these countries bore the heavier military burdens of World War 11. He also said aid was likely to be confined to conventional types of weapons—armaments for ground forces and their supporting arms. It was understood the proposed expenditure would be divided into three parts: (1) For war materials held surplus in the United States: (2) for war materials held in reserve categories; (3) for wholly new projects, such as the purchase of new weapons and perhaps the allocation of money to stimulate foreign armaments production.
The correspondent added that Congressional approval of the plan was conceded today by some of its strongest critics.
