d9C U life line to India" and Japan de- cided ito make China her puppet. ''
 Nazis Regained Power
 Those decisions, by the Big Five of that victory, created such dis unity that Germany evaded the provisions of the treaty of Versailles and regained the power to do evil, '' he said.
 Dulles said he saw no need for reservations on the treaty, even on the question of empowering the American delegate to vote for the use of American troops in a foreign conflict.
 He conceded, instead, that 'it may become useful' to decide whether the use of military con- tingent to enforce peace is the equivalent to a declaration of war.
 Pointing out the charter provision that the military contingent to be placed at disposal of the organiza- tion is to be established by Subse- quent negotiation and Senate rat1- wication, Dulles said:
 When the Congress knows what will be proposed concerning the size and character of the U. s. contingent and the area within it may be used, then it may be desirable by statute to fix the rela- tive responsibility of the President and the Congress.
 Other endorsements for prompt ratification without reservations came from heads of the nations $ two large labor organizations.
 AF.L. President William Green described the charter agreed upon by representatives of 50 nations as evidence of the will to peace dom- mating so many nations"
 C.IO. President Philip Murray said arguments for reservations or limitations must be understood as simply an attempt to defeat its enactment"
 Socialist Leader Norman Thom- as said the charter was mot an adequate basis for lasting peace,' ,' but urged ratification nevertheless because it may be better than nothing.
 Favors Reservations
 He told the Senate foreign rela- tions committee, however, that rati- fication should be accompanied with reservations to safeguard con- gressional power over questions of war and peace and this country's right to withdraw from the pro- posed world organization.
 No American representative on the international council should be allowed to permit the use of Amer ican armed forces except on condi- tions specifically laid down by Congress" he said in a statement prepared for presentation to the committee.
 Dulles Called
 ThomaS was one of number of prominent figures called by the committee in what was scheduled to be the last day of hearings on the charter. Other were, John T. Flynn of New York, author and lecturer on government affairs and John Foster Dulles, Republican ex- pert on foreign affairs who served as a consultant at the San Fran cisco Conference, where the Char ter was drafted.
 Thomas said there was nothing in the Charter to guarantee a basis for lasting peace or the abandon ment of power politics and inn perialism.
 Still, he said, T believe that the United States will be in better position to lead in the establishment of such basis if it should ratify the Charter and in good faith use its constructive provisions for an increase in world cooperation"
 Thomas urged that American del- egates to various organs of the new peace league be required to make quarterly reports to Congress in writing and in person, to keep in touch with public opinion.
 Committee Chairman Tom Con- nally, D., Tex, said the group prob- ably would meet in executive ses- sion tomorrow to vote formal ap- proval of the Charter. Senate de- bate is scheduled to begin July 23.
 The committee vote was expected to be overwhelmingly in favor of the Charter but there was some question whether it would be unanimous.
 Sen. Hiram Johnson, R., Calif., ranking Republican member and a leader in the fight against the League of Nations years ago. in- dicated he might vote against the new Charter. He said he had not made up his mind definitely, how ever, and he had some inclination "to go along with the crowd.'
 Johnson, who has sat silently through most of the testimony of the last four days. interrupted late yesterday to debate with one witt ness he possibility of having to send troops overseas in the future to quell a breach of the Charters provisions.
