Aid to China Ends if Communists Take Over
American aid to China would stop if Communist forces seize control, said Paul G. Hoffman of the Economic Cooperation Administration. He warned continued aid after April hinges on a government representing a majority of Chinese people, and voiced opposition to any regime aiming to enslave or restrict religious freedom. Hoffman noted seven relief ships would not be diverted despite the Communist threat as Nanking officials move to Korea and Tokyo for talks with General MacArthur. Government troops and repair crews then reopened the Nanking Pengpu rail line, repelling Communist raids and continuing supply to the Nationalist defense.
