Republican and Democratic sides of
the aisle as they called for unity
eof action in outlawing war and lead

table planning. ''las 20 s
Twenty six Republicans and three
Democrats voted against the resolu-
ton, which declares
Resolved by the House of Repre-
sentatives (the Senate concurring)
that the Congress hereby expresses
itself as favoring the creation of
appropriate international machinery
with power adequate to establish
and to maintain just and lasting
peace among the nations of the
world and as favoring participation
by the United States therein,
through its constitutional proc
esses."
Immediately after the vote Rep
resentative Fulbright, Democrat, Of
Arkansas, author of the resolution,
issued statement terming the
House action "just the beginning
Of the process Of building foreign
policy for the Nation in this mod
ern world
Sees Continuing Process.
ITO be effective this must be a
continuing process, requiring the as
siduous attention of our best states
men, he said. 1T is quite reas-
suring that the House of Repre-
sentatives has taken the initiative
in this matter. I believe this is
reason to hope for a better world"
Although opposed to the procedure
limiting debate to four hours, Rep
resentative Dirksen. Republican. OF
Illinois earlier told his colleagues
he would vote for the resolution
despite its limitations and as
serted "the time has come to spell
out in greater detail" this Nations
stand on postwar peace problems.
One of those who attended the Re-
publican Foreign Policy Conference
at Mackinac Island, Mich. Mr.
Dirksen asserted he was fed up
with nebulous nonsense" and that
he stood ready to embrace the doc
trine of force if necessary

''It will be too late when the Rus-e
SLAMS are in Berlin to speak out" hei
said.
Representatives Eberharter, DEMO-
crat, OF Pennsylvania promptly took
the floor to counter with the asser-~
ton that now was not the time tot
blueprint" the details of the peace
beyond the point of recording Con-"
gress in favor of general collabora-,,
ton. =
"Disillusioned," he said, by efforts :
of the past to keep the United States
out of foreign conflicts, Representa-
tive Richards, Democrat, of South
Carolina said he had been won overs
to the cause of collabora ton be-
cause he has become convinced that
only through collaboration could
permanent peace be achieved. i
Representative Monroney, Demo-
crat. of Oklahoma described the,
resolution as the first chapter of
the charter for peace"
Few Argue in Opposition.
A comparative handful of law
makers battled bitterly against the
resolution when debate opened
yesterday They declared its adop-
ton would sign away American SOW
ereign and constitutional rights
that its acceptance would involve
the United States in the conflicts
the responsibilities and the wars Of
other continents. II
Against that argument was lev
eled the repeated contention of the.
resolutions hackers that Congress
had dealt this Nation out of postwar
collaboration after the World War;
and that the stakes Of permanent
peace were worth the gamble of the
game
