Senator Hatch Hopes
For Early Action on
Postwar Collaboration
BY J. A. O'LEARY.

Senator Hatch, Democrat. of New
Mexico, one of the authors of the
& pending resolution for United Ma
tions cooperation to prevent future
3 wars, came back from the West
s yesterday hopeful of early action on
4 the basic principles of that plan.
He indicated he was greatly en-
B couraged by speech broadcast from,
4 Texas last week by Chairman Con-
E fal1p of the Senate Foreign Rela-
i tions Committee, in which the Tex
4 an said:
so long as the nations impos-
! Ing the peace shall be ready and
\ willing to maintain that peace by
E the last argument of military force.
1t Will live. The United Nations
must, when our enemies are mas
tered, establish an international
agency to determine disputes over
boundaries, over all of the quarrels
that lead to international war and
to arrest aggression and criminal
conquest.
Such an agency, unless invested
with power to enforce its DECISIONS
cannot survive. 1t must have au-
thority to call upon member nations
for troops and navies, when nee
eSsary, to enforce its DEGREES and
impose upon aggressors and viola
tors of the law of nations, punish
ment for their crimes"
Difference in Details.
Sana for Eafnh cold ir
ent, not only from the speech of
Senator Connally, but from the re-
marks of other Senators. that the
Foreign Relations Committee will
report out a resolution and that the
Senate will act on it."
Emphasizing the phrase "a reso-
luton" Senator Hatch said there
may be some difference over de-
tails, but he saw in the Connally
speech an Endorsement of the prin-
clples contended for in the Ball Hill
Burton-Hatch resolution. The heart
OF the resolution, he said, is that
there be some machinery to pre-
vent war, and the use of military
power to back it up.
Senator Hatch made it plain.
however, that he would not be con-
tent with the Fulbright resolution.
reported unanimously by the House
Foreign Affairs Committee before
the recess, which, he said, is too gen.
eral in its terms.
He agreed that the declaration of
policy to be voted upon now should
not be too specific but at the same
time, he argued, it should not be so
general as to command the support
OF opponents as well as supporters
of collaboration.
Even if machinery for mainte-
nance of peace is established, Sena-
tor Hatch said, he believes that at
the end of the war "the aggressor
nations as now constituted must be
disarmed." He pointed out that.
while the pending resolution limits
the proposed cooperation to the
United Nations, provision is made
for admission of other nations when
justified.
House Resolution.
The House resolution, which Sem
uUbi AldCI4l CdIIcu 100 general,
reads:
THAT the Congress hereby ex-
presses itself as favoring the creation
of appropriate international ma
chinery with power adequate to es-
tablish and maintain a just and
lasting peace, among the nations
OF the world, and as favoring par
ticipation by the United States
therein" @
The Senate proposal calls di-
rectly for the assembly and mainte-
nance of a United Nations military
force to suppress any future attempt
at aggression by any nation. Sena-
tor Hatch said the mere existence
of such force would render its
use unnecessary. The Senate reso-
luton also would express the belief
OF that branch that the United
States should take the initiative in
calling meetings to plan. not only
for cooperation against future az
gression, but to plan also for the
immediate problems that will arise
In the war-torn areas when hostili-
ties end.
