Foreign Policy Debate
Bipartisan Delegation
In White House Visit
Views Big 8 Meeting
Ry the Associated Press.


Senator Connally, Democrat,
of Texas, after a White House
conference today, urged the Sem
ate to withhold further discus
SionS of the international Situa-
ton pending a new meeting of
the ''big three"
The chairman of the Foreign Re-
laticns Committee disclosed no
details of the mornings discussions
between Mr., Roosevelt and an eight
man bipartisan delegation from the
Senate committee, but issued this
statement to reporters:
THE subcommittee had a very
pleasant and satisfactory conference
with the President. In anticipation
of his departure to meet Stain anc
Churchill, the views of members OF
the subcommittee were made known
to the President and the President's s
views were made known to the SUBJ
committee.
Entire Field Covered.
THE discussions covered the en-
tire field of foreign relations.
Until the meeting of Roosevelt,
Stain and Churchill I hope that
there will be no resolutions pre-
sented in the Senate or general dis
cussions which would disturb the
delicate international situation"
AS the subcommittee left the
White House, Senate Majority Lead
er Barkley said:
We had an interesting discussion
Of the whole field of the information
al problem. That is as far as we
can go-nothing on any detail or
any phase of it.
The whole subject still left un-
decided by Dumbarton Oaks was
discussed
However, Senate Minority Lead
er White merely held up mis- hands
when asked if he considered the
meeting satisfactory one.
Burden on Europe.
The group remained with the
President for an hour and a half.
While the conference was under
way, Senator Wiley, Republican, of
Wisconsin declared in a Senate
speech that European nations should
compose their differences if they
wish to prevent "a tidal wave of
new isolationism' in this country
Senator Wiley, new member of the
Foreign Relations Committee, said ::
1T Is not we who covet territory
1t is not We who seek to maintain
in continued subjugation colonial
peoples or to set up rival govern
mentS to established governments. "
He declared 'the burden of proof
now is on European nations ito GER
tify that they are at least willing
to come half way in formulating
the postwar international organ
ization"
Senator Vandenberg, Republican,
of Michigan also declined comment.
1t was he who started the debate
in the Senate yesterday.
1t was Senator Vandenberg's con-
tention that Russia and Britain were
being impelled, by fear that Ger
many might rearm in the future. in
to making separate protective deals
before world peace organization
can be formed.
He argued that an American
pledge for speedy action to keep
the Axis disarmed would remove
the need for such unilateral agree
ments; he said where such agree
ments are made, they be subjected
to review later by the world peace
organization
Senator Connally told a reporte,
that while he is certain the
Allies are united on their intent
to keep Germany and Japan mill
tarily impotent, he feels this cues
ton should not be dealt with sepa-
rately.
Likewise, Senator Pepper, Demo-
crat, of Florida thought the POLICING
of the Axis must be tied to the gen.
eral problem of collective seculty.
Ball Applauds Stand.
Senator Lucas, Democrat, of IL
linois said that obviously the Presi-
dent would do everything he could
at the Forthcoming big Three" con-
ference to get the machinery in op-
Grafton on such questions, but i,
was something that couldn't be done
overnight.
Senator Ball, Republican, Of Min
nesota, applauded the Vandenbere
stand, calling it the strongest thus
far taken by the chairman Of the
COP Senate conference Senator
Ball said he wanted to go even
further, would like to see an inn
mediate end of all unilateral agree
