BY the Associated Press.
Critics of President Roosevelt
intend to reopen Senate discus
sion OF foreign policy this week
despite administration attempts
to soft pedal the issue now.
Senator Wheeler, Democrat of
Montana said he plans a speech on
international affairs by midweek at
the latest.
/ There Is evidence that some an
swer will be Forthcoming, although
Secretary of State Stettinius is not
likely to reply as he did to a pre-
yious demand by Senator Wheeler
for abandonment of the uncondi-
tional surrender policy toward the
Axis. Mr.. Stettinius said Senator

Some seemed to think, the Nom

our foreign policy are the President

Meanwhile, Chairman Connally Of
the Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee, cognizant Of the furore cre-
ated by his original proposal to hold
down discussion, told reporters he
had no objection to Legitimate
debate"
There seems to be some mis-
understanding as to my suggestion, |"
Senator Connally said. What /
meant to imply was that in view
LOT the. pending meeting of Presi-
dent Roosevelt with Prime Minister
Churchill and Premier Stain, the
situation Is quite delicate and any
thing disturbing it would not be in
the public interest.
I merely meant to ask that dis
cussion that might make the Presi-
dents task harder be withheld pend
ing his meeting"
Senator McCarran, Democrat. of
Nevada, also critical at times of the
administrators dealings with other
nations, said he thought there ought
to be full discussion" in the Senate
OF the problems at hand.
Drop Move for Statement.
Senator Hatch, Democrat, OF New
Mexico, new member of the Foreign
Relations Committee, observed that
the advocates of full international
security cooperation could not af-
ford to remain silent and let the i'm
preston so out that opponents speak
the majority sentiment Of the
Senate.
Senators Hatch and Ball, Repub-
lican, OF Minnesota, temporarily
have suspended efforts to get the
Senate to make an affirmative state
ment Of foreign policy, partly be-
cause they fear such an action
might bring on controversial debate
during the big Three" conference.
Senator Ellender,. Democrat OF
Louisiana, an advocate OF fun and
frank" talk in the Senate, proposed
that Mr.. Roosevelt take the public
completely into his confidence" on
the results of the forthcoming big

"A public kept fully informed is

are trying to work out an inter-
national peace. organization dedi-
