Atlantic Pact Rift About Arms Delivery
WASHINGTON, Dec. 14 (Recd. 6 p.m.)—The Secretary of State, Mr. Acheson, today confirmed that the United States and her Atlantic Pact Allies are still in dispute over conditions for sending United States arms aid to Europe. The first shipments of American arms to North Atlantic Pact nations are scheduled to start early in January. Britain and France, it is reported, are displeased at United States insistence that the arms shipped to them must remain in the North Atlantic area and not be used elsewhere. Britain has military commitments in Hongkong and Malaya, and France in Indo-China. They consider these commitments essential to world peace, and want them considered in the North Atlantic Pact plans.
