Warm Battle Looms In Congress
Over European Arms Aid Program
By PETER EDSON
NEA Washington Correspondent
WASHINGTON. President Truman la now scheduled to send
Congress the arms aid bill for western Europe, just as soon as the
Senate ratifies the North Atlantic Pact.
So far only the bare totals of this program have been given out.
For new aid to help rearm western European countries, 1,113,000,
000. For continuing aid to Greece and Turkey, Iran, Korea and the
Philippines, $220,000,000. Total $1,433,000,000.
Opposition to this program is
expected to come from several
sources. First from Sen. Robert
A. Tart of Ohio and the isolation
ists. They believe lhat this arms

' Second objection will come
from the advocates of economy.
They argue that the United States
can't afford this extra burden.
Still a third force may argue
for cutting down on the European
program in order to give more
aid to China.

posed by the Senate. The figure
also includes the full $1,433,000,000
foreign aid program proposed, be
fore any possible cuts.
These are the basic bookkeeping
figures used in trying to deter

European arms aid program
amounts to, and whether this
country can afford to give that
aid. They show what each west
European country Is contributing
to its own defense. They show that

The figures also show that the
U. S. military budget represents 7
