Eisenhower Seeks New Foreign Aid to Bolster Global Defense
In a policy plea, Dulles outlines a broad aid package aimed at maintaining peace initiative. He cites continued support to North Atlantic Pact allies, stepped up aid to Indochina and Formosa, and funding for Japan's internal security. The plan earmarks about 400 million dollars for Indochina to stem Communist pressure, and calls for strengthening Chinese forces on Formosa while boosting Latin American aid modestly. Eisenhower stresses a measured military buildup tied to solid economic foundations, with emphasis on aiding free nations to improve internal conditions and deter Vietminh aggression. He urges steady, long term cooperation to sustain defenses amid a critical international situation.
