Connally Praises ECA Work.
Senator Connally praised the
achievements of ECA in the past
year. But even though progress
has been great, he said, Europe
has not yet achieved recovery and
still needs American dollars.
But he said that by June, 1852.
Europe must be "independent of
extraordinary American aid"
1--WE do not expect to continue
this program beyond that time, y
Senator Connally said. He add
ed that next years aid program
will be cut considerably below
the first years program. which
cost $5,055,0O0,000.
Senator Connally directed sew
eral sharp barbs at Russia. He
said the countries of Western Eu-
rope "have resisted the corrosive
but cheap and ugly doctrine of
communism that destroys and
corrupts, the doctrine that assails
both the dignity of man and the
morality of God"
Refers to Proposed Fund Cut.
He took note of some earlier
talk of cutting funds for Britain,
commenting:
1--WE must conclude that any
substantial cut in dollar aid to
Britain would be tragic mistake
1t would seriously retard British
and European recovery. The esti-
mated British requirements for
dollar aid next year already rep
resent a "a per cent cut over last
year, compared with a Is per
cant reduction for ERP countries
as a whole"
He also tried to calm any Sen
ate fear that aid to the Neither
lands might contribute toward
military operations in Indonesia
According to our information, "
he said. "the Dutch have not i'll

Cured heavy military expend-
itures, either in dollars or in other
resources, in excess Of their ex-
penditures in that area prior tc
December 81.
Moreover, 1t is reported that
these operations are supported
from local revenues and do not
constitute a charge against the
national budget Of The Neither
lands"
Under these circumstances" he
added, lit seems to the committee
most unwise to cut off aid to The
Netherlands and thus completely
disrupt Dutch recovery and seri-
ously impair the entire European
Recovery Program"
Senator Connally said the COM
mittee feels China should be
dealt with separately in relation
to the unique circumstances that
exist in that country" He sug-
gested that the United States
might continue its economic re-
lief until the next harvest in areas
of China that remain free of Com
munist domination"
Meanwhile. If the situation in
China should clarity itself suffi-
GENTLY, consideration could be
given to such further measures as
might be appropriate"
This would mean that ECA
could spend its remaining China
funds - about $58,000,000 - to
carry on aid to Nationalist China.

Congress Expected
To Approve 4-Year
World Wheat Pact
By Malcolm Lomborne, Jr.

~ ViSsSSshb
Chances of congressional ap-
proval of the new four-year world
wheat pact were rated good today.
Senator Aiken, Republican, OF
Vermont said the Senate would be
quite favorable" to the pact, but
he added that he could not speak
for the House. Senator Aiken said
he had discussed the agreement
with most of his colleagues from
the wheat States and that they
are inclined to favor it.
Agriculture Secretary Brannan.
who signed the multilateral agree
ment for the United States yes
terday. told reporters he had q
considerable degree of optimism"
over ratification by Congress.
The pact pledges the United
States and four other countries to
supply 456, ,2S3, ,389 bushels Of wheat
annually to 81 importing nations.
1t sets a maximum ceiling for the
four years of $1.80 bushel and
floor price of S1.50 for the first
year, dropping 10 cents a bushel
each year thereafter.
Annual Quota Set.
This country's annual quota is
set at 1863, ,069,635 bushels. In last
years agreement. which failed to
go into operation. the United
States quota was set at 1876 .000.00
and the ceiling price, at 50 a
bushel
Mr.. Brannan conceded that the
easing of the world wheat short
age and a sharp drop in price
weakened the hands of exporting
countries and strengthened those
of the importers during the eight
weeks of negotiations climaxed by
signing ceremonies yesterday.
He pointed out, however. that
the floor price of the new pact is
10 cents higher than last years
agreement.
If a world wheat surplus de-
velops, that increase in the floor
will be extremely beneficial to
United States farmers, he de-
clared.
Lists Major Benefits.
The Secretary listed three rea-
sons why the pact is of great
benefit" to farmers: Cd 1t will
stabilize our foreign market for
wheat: ca it will complement the
United States domestic wheat pro-
gram, and 80 it will set the pat
tern for future multilateral agree
ments in other foodStuffs.
The State Department will for
ward the pact to Congress: al
though it has not yet been de-
cided whether action will be asked
of both the House and Senate.
If it is presented as treaty, only
Senate action will be required.
Thirty nations signed up yes
terday, and the remainder have
until April Is to sign. The agree
ment would 60 into operation Au-
gust /, by which time ratification
by roughly three-fourths of the
countries must be forthcoming.
The other wheat exporters in
