Nation Called
Just
Peace Treaty
Barley Believes
This Will Avoid
World War Three

Washington, Dec. 2l--lNS-Dem-
ocratic Senate Leader Alben Bark
ley today called on the nation TO
begin preparations for writing
peace treaty and formulating post
war reconstruction that will avoid
a World War No. 3.
Surveying possibilities OF the
new 18th Congress, which conyenes
Jan. 8. the Democratic leader indi-
Gated that some definite steps may
be taken looking toward a peace to
follow victory in the war.
1T is very important that We be
prepared to write a just peace trea-
ty and organize world opinion for
attempts which must be made to
provide both peace and a postwar
solution OF problems which will
make another war such as this i'm
possible. said Barley.
Despite the fact that the new Con
gress will be thinking OF the 1874
presidential election, Barley pre-
dicted unity in backing the war eff
fort.
1T is hard to say that any group
or political organization will not be
politically minded" he said. But
I've seen no evidence Of a great
hurrah over the war effort in the
next Congress or action TO hamper
II in any way.
That does not mean that Con-
gress will not scrutinize requests
for appropriations, which presum-
ably has been done in the past.
But T don't see any effort to
deny everything that is necessary TO
win the war as completely and as
promptly as possible.
THE country elected Democrats
and Republicans but they will be
Americans first. | don't think any
member or any group can afford to
take any other altitude
