U. S. Plans More Aid For Chinese WASHINGTON, June 28 (U.R) The United States, its 18-month "neutrality" policy in China's civil war discarded, today studied new moves to bolster Generalis simo Chiang Kai-Shek's tottering government and armies. Recent Chinese Communists successes on the Manchurian mil itary fronts place the whole! American policy toward "hina under review by the White House! and the state department. The first moves came swiftly yesterday when the export-Import bank announced it would consider extending credits to China, and the state departments disclosed the sale of 130,000 000 rounds of rifle ammunition to Chiang's hard-pressed Nationalist! armies. Despite the twin moves, diplo matic officials emphasized that they did not get down to the core of China's problems economic reconstruction and politcal unifi cation. On these problems future. American policy is being form ulated "but no one has come up! with the riaht answer yet,' one; official said. Sale of the surplus rifle ammunition, m anufactured for but not delivered to China Chi-na during the war, raised the possibility that mere munitions muni-tions will be funnelled Into China soon. Under a $210,000,000 contract signed Aug. 30, 1946, China re ceived title to large stocks of non-military equipment left- be hind on Pacific islands by Amert-ican Amert-ican forces after the war. Large supplies of military equipment still are available in the Pacific and might be sold to China. A restatement of policy toward China also is under consider ation. Since December; 1945 when the present secretary ofi state, George C. Marshall, began his attempts to mediate China's Civil war, the United States has demanded that China get its political house in order before it could expect heip. Yesterday's events indicate that! that policy no longer applies State department oitncais saia the U. S now is free to sell the Chinese any kind of surplcs or! to grant export licenses for arms and military equipment bought from private sources.
