Dewey Says Truman's Pro-
cram Should Have Full
Support
HELP NECESSARY
Touches On Cultural, Spiri-
tuaI Ties Between Two
Countries

ALBANY, N. Y, March 22-(P)-
Governor Thomas E. Dewey to-
dav endorsed President Truman's
nroposal of U. S. aid to GREECE to
halt the spread of communism in
Europe and said the program
should have 'the full support of
the American people,"
Dewey, a possible candidate for
the 1948 republican presidential
nomination, described the Greeks
nc "a brave bulWark against tides
of oppression which would engulf
the world"
He said American help was
necessary" to assist the Greeks
in resisting the forces of armed
and theological aggression en-
~deavoring to create chaos and dis
ruption among them"
The statement came in a routine

New York.
Dewey made no mention of Tur-
kew but executive assistant James
C.. Hagerty said last week 1.-The
governor has expressed himself
strongly to a number of people
that we must do all in our power
to prevent the collapse Of the free
countries of Europe"
The 1914 republican presidential
candidate did not mention com
munism specifically in his procla-
nation nor did he refer to the
amount of financial assistance.
President Truman has proposed
s4OO, 900, 900 in aid to Greece and
Turkey.
Dewey touched on cultural and
spiritual ties between Greece and
the United States. and said:
AT a grave hour in world at
fairs, the government of the United
States has proposed to bring its
great strength to the aid sof the
stricken people of Greece. This
help is necessary in order to help
them in their epic struggle to re-
cover from the desperate ravages
Of war, meanwhile resisting the
forces of armed and theological ag-
g~ression which are at this moment,
endeavoring to create chaos and
disruption among them.
Once again the Greek people
are standing as "a brave bulWark
against tides of oppression which
would engulf the world and u
nation should and, I am sure, Will
give them the assistance with the
full support of the American
people"
