'Chinese Nationalists
Should Be
Used In Indo-China'
Washington, Apr. 8.
The head of the American military aid pro- gramme, Major-General George Stewart, today suggested Chinese Nationalist troops should be used to counter-balance "Communist China's ambitions" in Indo-China.
In a statement to the Foreign Affairs Com- mittee of the House of Representatives, he said the Chinese Nationalist forces on Formosa acted
as a "restraining influence against any aggressive designs of the Chinese Communist forces"
He believed that the continuation of the fight in Indo-China was made possible only due to aid received from the United States.
General Stewart was explain-
ing the administration's request for $1,580,000,000 (about 2004.- 000,000) for military old out of President Eisenhower'a new $3,000,000,000 (about £1,250,- | 000,000) foreign aid programme,
He said the continuation of the bitter battle in Indo-China was possible only as a result of the assistance received by the French and associated forces from the United States.
