Senator Burton Urges
Postwar World Police
Dedicated 10 Peace

Senator Burton, Republican, of
Ohio advocated last night COM
bined military police force after the
war dedicated to the interests of
peace" and subject to the combined
chiefs of staff of the United Ma
tions.
Such force, he told members
OF the Federal Club at their annual
meeting in the Willard Hotel, would
be based on an air force rather
than any land troops and would
be situated at several places on the
globe to see that peace is main
tained after the present conflict.
Senator Burton, who toured the
country last summer with bipar-
tisan congressional group in de-
bates ON postwar problems, in
formed last nights audience that
'our primary objective must be that
the championship team shall not
disintegrate" after the war.
Warns of Nonco operation.
Any such drifting apart of the
present Allies will mean, in time,
a wrecking of our own internal
economy, he asserted, and added the
comment: I'VE are certainly dumb
If we don't continue to cooperate
after the war" He pointed out
that a good start had been made
in preparing for the peace, and
cited the Moscow declarations and
the United Nations Relief and Re-
Mobilization Administration.
Emphasizing that he was opposed
to any balance of power theories
in world politics, Senator Burton
said, however, that there should be
some combination" of Central
European countries, perhaps pat
termed after the Swiss cantons. 1t
is his theory that peoples of these
countries would be expected to solve
their regional problems without
calling in larger nations to settle
them by force or coercion.
In discussing postwar stability
within the United States. the
speaker said that whatever we do,
we must take full advantage of the
archaeological developments during
this war" He said there must be a
determined policy in returning in
dustry to private enterprise and
away from governmental planning.
Hits Minority Control"
He hit at the two-thirds rule of
treaty ratification in the Senate as
minority control" and termed it a
perfect setup for minority groups
to combine for selfish reasons" He
said there was real danger here
and warned that no constitutional
amendment could be effected in
time for the peace. IF you are
going to have any two-thirds vote,
it has to rise above partisan" even
If it is the will of the people that
the treaty or agreement under con-
sideration is good one, he said.
Senator Burton also called for an
orderly and organized study of post
war aviation, both nationally and
global.
The club adopted a resolution op-
posing the use of social security ac-
count numbers for Federal employees
and advocated that retirement rec
ords of Government workers con-
tinue to be centralized in the Civil
Service Commission.
Paul E. Sanders of the Geological
Survey was elected president. Other
