Madame Chiang's Appeal For All-out U.S. Aid
, Copvrlaht)
Received Wednesday, 10.30 a.m, WASHIN GTON, Nov. 30. The appeal for all-out American aid that Madame Chiang Kai-shek is expected to deliver later this week will meet with a firm rejec--tion, say diplomatic informants. Although 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 expenditure, or more direct American participation in the actual fighting is out of the question. It is expected that ihe United States will ' tell Madame Chiang that 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 the Chiang Government is asking — about 1,000,000,000 dollars. .
