Eisenhower backs EDC German troops for Europe defense
President Eisenhower told Congress that a firm defense of Western Europe against Soviet attack requires German troops and the European Defense Community. He noted France and Italy delay ratification, a major obstacle to integrating German forces, as Congress approved over $5.2 billion for foreign aid for the coming year. He cited $1.7 billion in weapons shipped abroad in the first half of 1954, bringing total military aid overseas to about $9.4 billion, with new aid pacts strengthening anti Communist defenses in the Far East and ongoing re equiping of the Chinese Nationalist air force on Formosa.
