committee approval and ultimate
senate adoption.
Meanwhile, Sen. Alexander Wiley,
r., Wis, proposed that battle vet
Grams sit at the peace conference
table when this war ends and have
a voice in international negotia-
tions. He said he meant "the buck
private, the corporal, the sergeant
and the officers who do the bleed
ing, sweating and dying"
"The men who are fighting the
war, and who are paying the real
price of war, should have something
to say about making and maintain
ing the peace" Wiley said in a
speech prepared for delivery in the
senate. With their contribution,
we should find that formula for
peace which is necessary for a
war-sick world"
Both the more vigorous propon-
ents and opponents of participation
in an international organization for
preserving the peace labeled Con-
nally's resolution too general"
FEW AGAINST 1T
But there were strong indications,
despite the criticism of extremists
on both sides, that the proposal
would be approved by the full COM
mittee, and possibly the senate,
without change or much delay.
