temptation with a real deterrent
to war"
The peace paper" summarized
Mr.. Truman's forthcoming recon-
mendations to Congress under six
points:
/. All American foreign military
aid should be wrapped up in q
single program (Which the State
Department would administe).
2. This program should be
financed out of a single appro-
priation amounting to 81 ,450, ,000.-
000-and bundling in the aid to
both European and nom European
free nations.
8. President Truman should
have authority to make flexible
use Of these funds"-in other
words, the President and his depu-
ties should be given a free mind
by Congress in varying the pro-
gram to meet threats, dangers
and situations as they arise.
4. Western Europe should have
priority help since the Importance
of that area ito our security has
been demonstrated in two world
wars"
5. Military aid, while separate
from the Atlantic treaty. should
be extended to the European ma
tions In keeping with the treaty's

ciples.. ..

ments to bring military forces ur
to strength. and Co American
training and technical assistance
The State Department did not
pin itself down at this time to
Ian estimate of the number Of
years that may be required to
restore the European balance of
power, with American aid. 1t did
refer to the projects plan as an
interim" program. 1t spoke Of
the programs for subsequent
years" but made no estimates of
cost after the first year.
In summing up further argu-
ments for American arms aid ex-
penditures, the department said
the aid would be in such rela-
lively small amounts that 1t
would neither upset the civilian
economy in this country nor
hamper the progress Of American
rearmament.
The loss Of such weapons as
would be taken from the United
States forces, it said. would be
compensated by the total in
crease in the defensive strength
of the Western world. 1t also
was emphasized that the weapons
which would go to Europe would
bring permanent" increases in
European non-Communist mill
tary strength and thus. presuma-
bly,. lessen eventually the volume
of need for American aid.
