BADGER'S VIEW
Vice-Admiral Oscar Badger, of the Far former commander Eastern feet, told a newx con- Com. mittee acted that $75,000,000 of American arms aid would tr sumelent lo stem the Communlat advance In Ching "if properly applied." Admiral Badger, who returned recently from China and teslifed before the Joint Senate Committee, last week said further military help should be contingen: upon the Chinese Nationalists offering a "construc- tive, timely and feasible" plan for using it.
Admiral Badger said that past US military aid to China had not shown results because most of it had been given "without regard to its sun- structive application."
BILL'S PROVISIONS
The Seunte bill provides: 1. For the North Atlantic Pact nations US$1,000,000,000 for guns, tanks, planes
und other munitions. All but $100,- 000,000 will be withheld, how- ever, unl President Truman approves common defence plans and objectives of the Pact's Council and Defence Committed.
