.Connai|y Resolution
Expected 10 Pass
After Bitter Debate
BY the Associated Press

| The Senate will preview post
war foreign policy next week in a
debate that may bristle with in
ternational recriminations. but
apparently will have little effect
on eventual passage of the Con-
nally resolution pledging Amer
ican cooperation in making and
keeping the peace.
Frankly set forth as compromise.
the resolution faces attacks not only
from those who believe the time
lnopportune for International COM
mitments, but from others who want
strong commitments made and
spelled out.
Few in numbers, the former group
includes powerful speakers not ad-
verse to immediate and frank dis
cussion of such international ques-
tons as European postwar bound
aries and the future status of such
places as Singapore.
Wheeler Favors Delay.
For instance, Senator Wheeler.
Democrat, of Montana said he would
ask his colleagues why this country
should fix its postwar course before
any similar declarations are made
by Russia and Britain.
! Before we commit this Govern
ment, want to know what Premier
Stains demands are going to be
and what the British position Is
going to be-" Senator Wheeler de-
clared.
Senator Pepper, Democrat. of
Florida and some others charged, on
the other hand, that the measure bv
Chairman Connally seemed to point
toward an alliance between the
United States, Britain and Russia
that will run the world with power
alone"
Senator Pepper said the Connallv
resolution contains studied am
blgulty'' and Senators Hatch, Demo-
crat, OF New Mexico and Ball, Re-
publican, of Minnesota declared it
might be interpreted in almost anv
way so that the net result was con-
fuSlng and of no value in pointing
postwar course. These three were
joined by Senators Burton, Repub-
llcan, OF Ohio; Hill, Democrat, of
Alabama, and Green, Democrat. CT
Rhode Island in a statement which
said, in part:
IF the Senate does not really
favor this Nation taking a full and
fair part in world affairs after the
war, nothing is to be gained bv
Leading either our fellow country
men or our allies, by any acoui-
escence in carefully chosen, ambig
uous words, to contrary impress
sion"
Senator Ball predicted lengthy
Debate on the proposal declaring
that we're certainly going to give
the country chance to find out
what's in it."
Approved 20 to 2.
The Foreign Relations Committee
approved the resolution, 20 to 2, yes
teroay and the Senate agreed to
oegln debate on it Monday,
Chairman Connally predicted that
the resolution would be passed with
out material changes after -four or
flVe days of debate.
Senator Pepper gave notice, how
ever. that he would offer on the
moor the Ball-Burton- -Hatch-Hill
amendment which was rejected in
committee by vote of 16 to 5.
Inc amendment seeks to substi-
tute for the final paragraph of the
Connally resolution this wording:
mat the United States. acting
through It's constitutional processes.
JON with the United Nations, and
such free and sovereign nations as
may be duly admitted, in the estab-
llshment and maintenance of an
international organization to pro-
mote cooperation among nations,
with authority to settle international
disputes peacefully and with power,
including military force, to suppress
military aggression and to preserve
the peace of the world"
Inc last paragraph of the Con-
nally resolution declares:
Ihat the United States. acting
through its constitutional processes
JOIN with free and sovereign nations
IN the establishment and main
tenance of international authority
with power to prevent aggression
ana 10 preserve the peace of the
world" '~
