Britain on Policy Of
Formosa Neutrality

faced by the United States in de-
Tending Formosa by putting dol
lars over principle"
Assailing as ''indefensible" q
British order that her fleet remain
neutral if Chinese Reds attack
Formosa, the House members
called on President Truman to
protest British policy in the Far
East. They wrote:
"At this time, sir, we cannot
squander our strength on allies
upon whom we cannot depend"
The letter was signed by Repre-
sentative Wagner, Democrat, Of
Ohio, and countersigned by Repre-
sentatives Chesney of Illinois and
Cox and Wheeler of Georgia.
Democrats, and Representatives
Mason and Hoffman of Illinois,
Smith of Wisconsin and Woodruff
of Michigan, Republicans.
"By this decision" Mr.. Wagner
wrote, Britain announced that
she is halfway for this common
cause-when it helps her trade.
but not when it hurts her trade.
Millions in Investments.
''The United States has been
unselfish in pouring out aid to
other countries and it has the
right to expect that they will be
equally as loyal when this country
needs support.
Britain has $500 million in in
vestments on the mainland Of
China but the United States has
invested a hundred times that
much to support Britain's econ
omy and security. -.
Britain is willing to share in
our generosity but not in our risks
and responsibilities"

Mr.. Wagner urged Mr.. Truman
to tell the British that the United
States expects reciprocity for its
support of Britain" He said it
would be damaging if free people
decided the State Department vas
sympathetic to Britain's priority
of dollars over principle"
Mr.. Wagner spoke sharply Of
the fact that the United States
still is fighting in Korea without
the ground forces of other nations
at her side.
Whatever support is withheld

:, Brothman and Miss Moskowitz,
a former employe of the War

dicted on the basis of grand jury
testimony by Harry Gold of Phil

Fuchs and Soviet agents.
The pair was accused specifi-

spy group and official of the Rus
sian trade firm, Amtorg.
Miss Moskowitz, a long time as
