Opposition To Shipping Grain To India Fades
Washington May 28 Opposition to providing American grain to help feed India's hungry millions faded in the House as debate continued on a bill to fund 2,000,000 tons of grain for Nehru's government. Cox urged adding Senate repayment provisions demanding strategic minerals and a six year loan repayment, while Richards warned against substituting Senate terms. The debate focused on whether tying aid to repayment strings would damage US aid goals and risk India’s friendship with the United States.
