Following is the tert of
statement concerning China
that President Truman read to
his neUs conference today:
The Department Of State Is pub
fishing tomorrow q volume on
United States relations with China,
particularly during the last five
years. I asked the Secretary of
State to have this record compiled
and published.
My primary purpose in having
this frank and factual record re-
leased at this time Is to insure that
our policy toward China, and the
Far East as a whole, shall be based
on informed and intelligent public
opinion. This is the way in which
our system of government acquires
its strength. As said in my speech
at Chicago last month, "Only II
men know the truth are they In a
position to work for q stable and
peaceful world = = In this Nation,
foreign policy is not made by the
decisions of q few. It is the result
Of the democratic process, and rep
resents the collected judgment of
the people"
The role of this government in its
relations with China has been sub
ject to considerable misrepresenta-
ton, distortion and misunderstand-
ing. Some of these attitudes arose
because this Government was re-
luctant to reveal certain facts, the

India Agrees 10 Cut
Her Dollar Imports
By the Associated Press

NEW DELHI, India, Aug. A.
India has agreed to reduce her i'm
ports from dollar nations by rs
per cent this year if other coun-
tries of the British Commonwealth
do so.
The plan to stand by the deci-
sion of the recent conference OF
commonwealth finance ministers
in London was announced here
today by DR.. John Matthai, Indian
finance minister.
He said the conference had ac-
cepted India's four-point stand:
/. The principle of equality OF
sacrifice among commonwealth
countries.
2. Imports from the sterling
area should be made available to
India to compensate for cuts in
imports from dollar countries.
3. The commonwealth countries
should arrange to keep each other
informed of individual require
ments so as to meet them from
the sterling area.
4. The whole position should be
reviewed at the earliest possible
time to consider restoration OF
cuts in dollar imports.
DR.. Matthai said India was dis
cussing the possibility Of buying
wheat from Australia instead Of
North America to help cut her
dollar purchases.

Text of Truman Statement

served to hasten the events in China
which have now occurred. In the
present situation, however, the mu-
tual interests Of the United States
and China require full and frank
discussion Of the facts. 1t Is only
in this way that the people Of our
country and their representatives
in Congress can have the under
standing necessary to the sound
evolution Of our foreign policy In
the Far East.
The Secretary Of State in trans
mitting this record has made a
clear and Illuminating statement
of the situation that exists in China,
the nature Of problems that are
presented and the governing prin-
ciples Of our policies toward China,
This statement will also be pub
lished and should be read, with the
record, by every one who is interest
ed in problems of the Far East.
The warm feeling Of friendship
between the people of the United
States and the people. Of China has
been one of the most notable facts
in American foreign relations. That
friendship is as strong today as it
has ever been. The problem of find
ing ways to give practical express
sion to that friendship will continue
to receive, day in and day out, the
closest attention Of this Govern
ment, and I know that it will re-
ceive the hopeful, constructive,
forward-looking thought Of the
American people.

To Let Vessel Visit ShonqhoI

SHANGHAI, Aug. 4 @.-The
American President Lines has
asked the Communists for per-
mission to bring the liner General
Gordon to Shanghai on Septem-
Der Is to take out foreigners.
The Red Shipping Bureau said
because the ship was not sched-
uled to leave San Francisco until
August % the request for an entry
permit cannot be made until Au-
gust 20. Floyd Downs, APL man
ager in Shanghai, said he was
hopeful the permit would be
granted.
The American President Lines
and the American State Depart
ment jointly have asked the Ma
tionalists for safe conduct for the
Gordon, but no reply has been
received. The Nationalists are
blockading all Chinese ports held
by the Communists.

the fleeing British sloop Amethyst.
The sloop had been a hostage on
the Yangtze since April. British,

Communist Trick Charged
In Sentencing of Priest

VATICAN CITY, Aug. 4 R.-
A Vatican source said today the
sentence Of q Roman Catholic
priest for allegedly refusing the
last rites to an aged Czechoslovak
woman may be "a Communist
trick to try to discredit the church
and its faithful"
The Vatican informant said last
sacraments would be refused only
II the Catholic knowingly and
freely supported communism. He
said the recent accommodation
decree was directed only against
the most active and militant
Communist Catholics.
IF the woman was really an
outspokenly militant Communist
why then did she send for the
priest and ask for the last sacra-
ments?" He asked. would, not
any militant Communist have
been informed days ago Of the
accommodation orders?"
