Washington, Mar. 2. Mr William C. Bullitt, former United States Ambassador to Russia, advised Congress today to vote $100,- ,000,000 for military supplies to China.
Giving evidence before the Lower House Foreign Affairs Committee on aid for China, Mr Bullitt said: "Ching is the key to the entire Far East.
