The President was appealing to Congress for approval of a -$1,450,000,000 programme of military aid to the North Atlantic and other
Powers to eliminate the fear of aggression and international violence.
Other countries to benefit, apart from the North Atlantic Pact countries, include Persia, Korca, the Philippines, Greece and Turkey, according to an explanatory statement issued today by the State Depart- ment.
President Truman wald: "The} record of world events since 1945 ollern us no certainty that all members of the United Nations will uphold the principles of in actual practice. "Indeed, there is proof to the contrary, proof that
