Mr. Truman (tailed It a “mutual security program.” Os the total. , $6,250,000,000 would be for military aid and *2350.000.000 for economic assistance. It was the largest total peace time request for such aid. It would - be provided free in the fiscal year w beginning July 1. In addition. Mr. Truman recc mended that *1.000.000.000 more be appropriated to be used to in crease the lending authority of the Export-Import Bank. Hot aU of this money would be used in the coming fiscal year. “With this program of assistance to the total free world effort, we will move forward rapidly toward a situation giving reasonable as • surance against aggression." Mr. Truman said in a 6,000 word mess age to Congress. NO SURRENDER "We cannot win peace through appeasement,” he said. "We cannot gain security in isolation.

It is natural that board members should like to have some of this re-arranging done in exec utive session behind closed doors. It can be done that way, but it cannot be done legally.
