ACHESON SUPPORTS PLAN FOR AID TO BACKWARD AREA'S Cuts would affect aim
of checking Communism
Washington, March 30.
The Secretary of State, Mr. Dean Acheson, told the Senate, Foreign Rela- tions Committee today that any cut in the $45,000,000, wanted for President Truman's "Point Four" programme-would have unfortunate results on efforts to check Communism in Asia.
"It would undoubtedly be interpreted by the peoples of the free countries of Asia, the Middle East and other under-developed areas as lack of interest in a policy on which they had been putting great hopes," he said.
Mr. Acheson was supporting the "Point Four" programme for technical aid to backward areas in the world.
