 Criticism of U. s. Senators should probably be given top consideration because the Senate will be asked to ratify the charter written at San Francisco. Only four senators have thus far come out in open opposi- tion to the Dumbarton Oaks pro- posals. A majority of the senators have reserved their opinions, appar- ently waiting to judge the results achieved at San Francisco.
 But the 16 freshman senators in a letter to President Roosevelt last January gave their full support to the Dumbarton Oaks proposals, II other senators have spoken in full support of the objectives and eight more are on record with conditional support.
 CONNALLY SUGGESTS
 INTERIM COUNCIL
 Senator Tom Connally of Texas, chairman of the Senate Foreign Re- lations Committee and a delegate to San Francisco, while admitting that 1t would be impossible to create United Nations Organization that would meet the views of every sem ator, has himself put the finger on one possible weakness in proposing the creation at San Francisco of an Interim Council - temporary or ganization to take the responsibility of adjusting international prob lems until the charter adopted at San Francisco can be ratified and the United Nations Organization can be made going concern.
 Perhaps the most constructive and carefully thought out proposals for amending the Dumbarton Oaks pro- posals have come from Senator Ar thur Vandenberg of Michigan, also 8 delegate to San Francisco In brief. Vandenbergs nine proposed amendments would include: A firmer declaration in the preamble to establish justice and promote respect for human rights; inclusion of the principles of the Atlantic Charter as objectives of the United Nations Organization; revisions of treaties which work injustices on any people; greater responsibility for the Security Council to act in any situation threatening world peace.
 Outside the Senate, the more res- ponsible criticism runs wide range. STASSEN FAVORS
 WORLD POLICE
 Commander Harold E. Stassen, another of the delegates to San Francisco, is on record as favoring the world peace force idea, giving the United Nations Organization more power to enforce its decisions than was contemplated in the orig inal Dumbarton Oaks draft.
 John Foster Dulles, however, has cautioned against appraising the Dumbarton Oaks proposals solely on the basis of its use of force, while ignoring the constructive opportun- ities for military enforcement of peace through the World Court and Economic and Social Council.
 Ex-President Herbert Hoover, in siX-point criticism, has put for ward the treaty revision suggested by Vandenberg and in addition has called for absolute disarmament of the Axis and relative disarmament Of the United Nations, more region- al organizations like the Pan-Amer- ican Union in other areas of the world, and checks on the use of force through the President and the Senate.
 These are by no means all the changes that have been proposed. But they incorporate the principal constructive suggestions. T h dreamy idealism stuff and the crack pot schemes can be ignored because they wouldn't work and aren't go- ing to get any place, besides.
