U.S. ARMS AID PROGRAMME

TO GO TO CONGRESS

Designed To

Assist European Countries

Washington, Mar. 10.—The State Depart- ment spokesman. Mr Michael McDermott, said today that the European arms aid pro- gramme would be sent to Congress at nearly the same time as the proposed North Atlantic alliance about the first week in April. He said the programme would include proposed aid for the Western European nations, Iran, Greece, Turkey, the Philippines and Latin America. He added that he did not know whether China and Korca would be included.

Mr McDermott said the programme would stress the necessity for self-help on the part of the recipient nations, but that it was impossible as yet to estimate its full cost.

"Unity" Appeal To French

Country Cannot Stay Isolated

He explained that; while it was true the self-help concept in the pact implied that ull members should contribute something to the pact organisa- tion, the amount and nature of The Buited States' contribullon wont be determined by Con-

ress.

Representatives of the national military establishments, the ECA and State Department have been working on a draft programme. Mr McDermott also indicated that the United States would deny
