Britain 5 Recognition
OF China Reds Scored
Generally in Congress
BY the Asseeiotsd Press

Britain's recognition Of Com
munist China was generally de-
nounced in Congress today, but
the criticism was tempered in
some quarters with the belief that
Britain was compelled to take the
step to protect her trade and eco
nomic interests.
Senator Taft Of Ohio. Repub-
lican policy leader. called the
move unfortunate" and Chairman
Cannon Of the House Appropria-
tions Committee termed it "a
matter of extreme regret"
"You can't compromise with
evil." Mr.. Cannon said. mo ma
ton which the Communists are
seeking to undermine should try
to placate them. This does not
solve the problem. It is stirring
up trouble for the future"
He refused to discuss the pos
sible effect that Britain's action
might have on future American
aid to non-Communist nations.
All aid funds must clear through
his committee.
But Representative Judd, Re-
publican. Of Minnesota. a former
missionary to China, said the
move might make it more difhcult
for Congress to continue aid to
the British.
He told a reporter that many
members might hesitate to vote
more money for the European Re-
covery Program designed to block
Communism while Britain, a
major recipient of aid. recognizes
a similar theology in China.
Chairman Kee of the House
Foreign Affairs Committee. said
he doesn't like trying to halt
Communism in one part of the
world while holding out an open
hand" in another area.
But, he said, he believes Britain's
action is part of her life and
death struggle for a secure eco
nomic footing.

trade that can be developed in the

Jittery as Assistance
DeodIine Approaches
By Albert Rovenholt
Foreign Correspondent Of The Siur and
The Chicago Dolly News

TAIPLI. Formosa. Jan. 6.-The
Nationalists on this Formosa
island retreat are becoming more
jittery as the February Is dead
line for the expiration Of the
China Aid Act approaches.
President Truman's announce
ment that the United States Is
unwilling to intervene militarily
on Formosa disappointed some
Nationalist hopefuls. But the
presidential statement did not an
swer completely the equally i'm
portant question OF additional
American economic aid.
The Chinese Nationalists here
are understood to have made two
separate requests for future Amer
lean financial assistance. The
American decision apparently will
depend partly on whether the Ma
tionalists overhaul and drastically
reduce their top-heavy military
machine now bleeding Formosa s
economy.
The first Nationalist request was
for roughly $7.50o,00O OF immedi-
ate "stopgap aid" to be allocated
before February Is from the re-
naming approximately 500, 600 900
appropriated under the terms of
the China Aid Act. The second
request was informal unofficial
suggestions" to the Economic Co.
operation Administration in Wash
ington for expenditure of roughly
$50. 100000 on Formosa after
February is.
The Nationalists; want to use
the requested $7.500,00o aid to
step up the importation OF COM
modities. Commodity sales pro-
ceeds would be used to counter
imitation.
The second suggested $50, ,ooo,-
900 assistance the Nationalists
want to use to finance continua-
ton Of this program after Feb
ruary Is.
They also would use the funds
to purchase vegetable oils and
other essentials lost with the
mainland, and to finance the i'm
portation Of spare parts and ma
chinery for Formosan railways
and factories.
The hooker in the Nationalist
economic plan for the island is
Chang Kai-shek's military ma
chine. At present the island is
forced to support and feed an
estimated 100000 personnel scat
tered on Formosa and numerous
islands along the China coast. It
is also supporting top-heavy du-
plicate military establishments.
This back-breaking =. military
burden reflects far-fetched plans
OF top Nationalist generals tor
counterinvasion of the Chinese
mainland. 1t also provides jobs
for thousands Of Nationalist gen.
erals and officials.
