Military Not Mentioned
Washington, Feb. 18.
President Truman today asked Congress to approve a $570,000,000 pro-
gramme of aid to China to assist the Nanking Government. President Truman proposed that $510,000,000 be
used to maintain essential Chinese imports until June 30, 1949-cereals, cotton, petroleum, fertiliser, tobacco; medicinals, coal and repair parts. President Truman asked for approval of the pro- gramme to help the Chinese Central Govern- ment bear the double burden of "civil war and the rapidly deteriorating economy."
