anger when the vote was announc-

late in entering the chamber and
was one of the last to vote AYE.
Connally evidently thought the

him about his vote. Senators Clark

From that issue stemmed a fun

of the other countries.
In recognition of this fact, just
as did Edward Stettinius, new
United States Secretary of State,
Eden dealt with the Italian situa-
ton in broad blunt terms as he
declared:
II must repeat to the House that
I maintain the British government
has perfect right to express an
opinion to another government
about minister under conditions
such as these"
The American statement yester-
day said:
We expect the Italians to
work out their problems of govern
ment along democratic lines with
out influence from the outside.
This policy would apply to an even
more pronounced degree with re-,
gard to governments of the United
Nations in their liberated terrific
ries."
1t was said in Washington today
that the basic American policy
should apply particularly to strife
torn Greece, where the United
States was considering active ap-
