very things this country had fought
to destroy-German and japanese
oppression and greedy attempts at
world power-were being revived by
Russia, that millions of people
were being brutalized and starved
under Russian control. If this Gov
ernment goes along with the
United Nations Organization as ii
now stands, instead of providing
genuine world cooperation it will
irrevocably commit America to
these policies, he said.
I'VE are asked to cooperate with
the world" he continued. mo more
distorted or misleading propaganda
is conceivable. This bitter rivalry
between Russia and Great Britain
has torn the world in two.
Russian Pledges Doubted.
For the illumination of those
who now have the effrontery to
insist that Americas only hope of
salvation lies in world co-opera-
ton or world union, the success
OF which is entirely dependent upon
Russia's keeping her word, I want
to ask my colleagues If they know
of any major treaty she has not
broken since she joined the (old)
League of Nations?"
The Montana Senator insisted he
believed in world cooperation based
on mutual consultation and con-
sent" in cooperation on the basis
Of principle.
There is better way for America
now to serve humanity" he said,
than is provided for by this legis-
lation. For years now America has
Travelled the wretched and twisted
road of a foreign policy that has
shifted, without rhyme or reason,
from the extreme of fawning ap-
peasement to the opposite extreme
OF war. Even now we are caught in
such a dilemma that We cannot pos
sibly honorably withdraw into what
would be for the first time in our
history the isolation with which
America has so often been charged.
Cites American Responsibility.
What many of our international
enthusiasts do not yet seem to un-
derstand is that neither can we
swing permanently to the opposite
extreme of intervention and atomic
war. Not only civilization, but also
the very future of the human race
itself. is in our hands. America is
now burdened with a terrible re-
sponsibility which we cannot and
will not disown.
This legislation provides not only
another step toward surrender of
our form of government, but it is
the product of an escapist and de-
featest philosophy. Rather than
yield to 1t, now is the time for all
men OF good heart and creative
vision to find a truly American way
to meet the obligations that are
ours.
But we are told that to stand for
principle now means war. I can
not believe that it means war. I will
not believe that Russia wants war.
We must quit appeasing Russia and
let her know once and for all that
we did not fight this war to let her
enslave the people of Europe. She
agreed to our high principles in her
hour of distress. She must abide by
them now"
The United Nations measure was
vigorously supported yesterday by
Chairman Connally of the Foreign
Relations Committee and by SEN
ator Vandenberg, Republican, of
M1chigan-both of whom were dele

COnnally Is Challenged.
Senator Connally. urging the need
of making the United Nations Or
ganization strong, workable agency
for world peace. threw cold water on
recent proposals that the organiza-

government"
The Texas Senator was CHALLENGED

Minnesota; Fulbright, Democrat, of
Arkansas, and Taylor. Democrat, of

support the pending bill, but that
