ernments and states all over Europe
! am sure 1t was never the Presi-
dents intention to rescue the peo-
Piles Of Europe from Hitler's tyr
amy at the cost of uncounted
American lives in order to turn them
over to the control of totalitarian
Soviet Russia, or an imperialistic
Britain, or both.
"A general federation of European
nations. I am convinced, will pro-
vide the only sane attempt at a So
luton to the crucial issues now tax
ing the resources of the Allies. Such
a federation, in which disarmament
was combined with economic COL
laboration, would constitute no
threat either to England or to Rus
sia."
Senator Wheeler added there is
no reason why Russia and Britain,
like the United States, should not be
interested in helping the suffering
peoples of Europe to set up a fed
Grafton of democratic republics.
Stettinius to Get Plan.
Senator Connally plans to lay his
proposal for a provisional Allied
council before Secretary of State
Stettinius this week. Supporters of
1t Immediately suggested that Presi-
dent Roosevelt take the proposal
along when he meets Prime Minister
Churchill and Premier Stain.
1t is Senator Connally's idea
that when the fulldress diplomatic
conference agrees. probably this
spring, on the terms of a world
security organization, that it set up
the provisional council to act in an
advisory capacity while the long
process of treaty ratification is
under way.
Senator Ball, Republican, of Min
nesota told a reporter that if the
plan is accepted it might constitute
a long step toward bringing about a
just peace.
Il think Senator Connally's sug-
gestion for the establishment of an
interim advisory council to con-
slider urgent international issues
which can not be delayed, pending
ratification and establishment of the
permanent United Nations organi-
zation, is very constructive" Senator
Ball said.
IF our major Allies would accept
such a procedure, agreeing in the
meantime that no more unilateral
decisions would be made and that
all decisions previously made would
be subject to review by the proposed
council, I believe we would have
taken a long step toward that just
and lasting peace we are seeking
I hope the President will take this
proposal with him to the forthcom-
Ing conference with Churchill and
Stain"
Green Likes Idea.
Senator Green, Democrat, of
Rhode Island, Foreign Relations
Committee member, who has advo-
Gated all-out international co-opera-
ton for peace, said he thought
Senator Connally's proposal fell
well within the framework of the
security organization projected at
Dumbarton Oaks.
1T seems to me the formation of
such an interim council would be a
natural thing for the President to
discuss with Churchill and Stain, ,
Senator Green said.
Many in the Senate have begun
to fear that great many boundary
questions and similar issues will be
settled by separate agreements be-
tween nations before world secur-
ity organization can be set up.
There now is no direct machinery
for dealing with such problems, al
though a European Advisory Com
mission created at the Moscow con-
ference Of foreign ministers has con-
cerned itself with questions involved
IN the control of enemy countries.
