Senate Bloc Insists
Moscow Pacts Must
Be Ratified Here
Stote Department
Disputes View, Holding
Them Executive Actions

Controversy over the Signifi-
cance and effect of the Moscow
declarations gathered momen-
tum today, with State Depart
ment officials declaring that the
pact was an effective executive
agreement which did not require
Senate ratification and a number
OF Senators taking issue with
that assertion.
Chairman Reynolds of the Senate
Military Affairs Committee was
among those demanding that the
Senate ratify or reject the postwar
security agreement among the United
States, Russia, Great Britain and
China.
A bloc of IA Senators, however
proposed to Chairman Connally of
the Foreign Relations Committee
that he substitute two paragraphs
of the Moscow statement for his
peace resolution and seek its speedy
approval as an expression of the
Senate's views on foreign policy.
Wants Own Resolution.
Although Senator Connally de-
clined immediate comment on the
proposal, he indicated determina-
ton to 90 ahead with attempts to
obtain passage of his resolution
without change. His resolution
would pledge the United States to
join with free and sovereign nations
in establishing international au-
thority with power to prevent
aggression.
The proposed substitute of the IA
Senators who have been seeking to
strengthen" the terms of the Con-
nally resolution would incorporate
in it, with slight changes, these dec
larations from the Moscow confer
ence:
That they (the United States,
Great Britain. Russia and China)
recognize the necessity of establish
ing at the earliest practicable date
"a general international organiza-
ton, based on the principle of the
sovereign equality of all peace
loving states, and open to member
ship by all such states, large and
small, for the maintenance of in
ternational peace and security.
Promise to Consult.
THAT for the purpose of maintain
ing international peace and security
pending the re-establishment of law
and order and the Inauguration of a
system of general security. they will
consult with one another and as oc-
casion requires with other members
of the United Nations with the view
to joint action on behalf of the
community of nations"
To this would be added provision
citing the Senate's constitutional
authority to ratify treaties.
State Department officials said the
Moscow declarations had the same
force on participating nations as a
