President Truman today signed
legislation to provide for the loan
of 2 million tons of wheat to
India. In a statement he hailed
it as IAN expression of the spon-
taneous! heartfelt desire of the
American people to help the In
dian people in their time of need"
The President asked Congress in

cost of about $3.50 million-free,

it on a loan basis.

mental in passing the legislation
were on hand for the signing.

India has bought all the food
she can with the funds she has.
The United States alone is already
sending India about is million
tons Of food grain, much of it at
the rate of 100000 tons month.
Under this act We shalt be able
to supply India on special and
easy credit terms the additional
food which India needs but for
which India does not now have
funds available.
These shipments of food from
the United States l. will supply
nearly two-tl1irds Of all the food
which India ist buying abroad to
meet its emergency. These ship
ments will save untold millions Of
