Lattimore Tells
Old Memo on
China Policy
WASHINGTON. April 3-UPV-A
confidential memorandum to the
s t apt e department, advocating
m&s'imum flexibility" of U. S.
policy in the Far East as a means
of i stabilizing relations with Rus
sia, was made public today by
Owen Lattimore, who wrote the
memo seven months ago.
He counseled against "prema
ture or excessive deployment" in
the strategic Far Eastern area,
and said that U. S. .support for
Chiang Kai-Shek does moie harm
than good to U. S. interests.
Lattimore made the memoran
dum public after Senator Mc
Carthy (R-Wis.), who has charged
that Lattimore is a Kremlin agent,
announced that he himself was
prepared to release the document
in the interests of the American
people.
Denounces McCarthy
Lattimore, who has denounced
McCarthy as a "madman" and his
charges as ridiculous and untruth'
ful, said it had been his purpose
all along to make the memo public
when he testifies later this week
before a senate foreign relations
subcommittee which is looking in
to McCarthy's charges. He said he
was advancing the release date
"because Senator McCarthy in
typical fashion is seeking -by in
sinuation and concealment - to
spread some of the poison of which
he has an inexhaustible supply.

Trumah Urges
Congress Try
Brannan Plan
By Ovid A. Martin
WASHINGTON, April 3 - (P) -
President Truman pressed con
gress today to put a stop to piling
up enormous farm surpluses and
use Brannan plan methods instead
of "artificially high price peg
pin?. It was his third appeal this year
for a "fundJlmental, overhaul of
farm legislation. It came at the
height of worry in congress over
criticism of its farm aid methods
Mr. .Truman said, 4n effect.
there is need for legislation which
would:
(1) Tighten production controls
on products being produced in ex
cessive amounts, and
(2) Allow use of the adminis
tration's Brannan plan production
payments system of supporting
producer prices of perishables,
his system would allow perish
ables such as meats, poultry
products, milk and dairy products.
potatoes, fruits ad vegetables - -to
seek their natural price level.
If prices averaged less than that
deemed to be fair to farmers, the
government would make up the
difference therough payments to
tnem.
Long Messaxe
The president's suggestions
came in an 1800-word message to
the lawmakers devoted largely to
an explanation of why he signed a
bill last week increasing cotton
and peanut acreages under price
supports, and authorizing supports
for potatoes in 1951 only if rigid
controls are. in eiiect.
So ' far congress has turned i
cold shoulder to the Brannan tiro
posaL The only farm legislation it
has passed has involved modifica
tions of the present program.
