ambitions today prompted a de-
mand by Senator Ball, Repub-

lens.
Senator Ball told reporters he
agreed with Chairman Reynolds OF
the Senate Military Affairs Commit

isolationist" than before the war

out soon what territory in the Axis
conquered countries of Europe and
Asia will be wanted by Britain and
Russia after the war.
IF we don't sit in on these COM
mitments they will make them sep
arately." Senator Ball said, adding

mapped in resolution he CO.

Ohio. Republican.
Asks Subcommittee to Act.
Il think we ought to have some
action on that resolution" Senator
Ball said. "A Foreign Relations

sideration for about two and one
half months, and it seems to me the
members ought to know soon what
they want to do about it
The resolution would urge this
Government to take the lead in
welding the United Nations into
formal organizat ton to deal with
political, economic and military
questions before the war ends and
to collaborate thereafter to preserve
world peace-by force if necessary.

the territorial boundaries are going
to be and who is going to get what

Relations Committee, Senator Pep
per, Democrat, of Florida, said he

The most important thing is
security he said, and If we ask
Great Britain and Russia what ter
ritories they feel they need to pre-
serve their security, they will ask us
what guarantees we are prepared to
make to help keep the world at
peace, and l don't see how we can
answer that now"
Senator Reynolds explained his
position this way:
II an lSolationist is a person who
loves his own country more than
any other country in the world.

his country above those of any other
country-then I am an isolationist.

President Roosevelt meet with Mr.
Churchill and Premier Stain soon

in the minds of the people of Amer
lea and the conquered countries. I"

would be delivered to the British
or to the Burmese and whether
Hong Kong would be re-delivered to
Great Britain or the Republic of
China.
When we have succeeded in re-
turning the Dutch East Indies, Java

Indies back to Holland. back to the
Netherlands, or are we going to de-
liver the Dutch East Indies, Java,
and Sumatra and the islands there,
over to the Javanese. the rightful
owners. to administer as we are
planning to return the Philippines
