By the Associated Press.

BY Iue ASS0ClateQ FreS3.
NEW YORK, Jan. 18.-Undersec-
retary of State Joseph c. Grew and
Senator Austin, Republican, Of Ten
nessee said last night that the IN
ternational pacts concluded among
several European nations were in
the spirit of the Dumbarton Oaks
proposals.
1--WE need not be disturbed by the
anxiety expressed in some quarters
that the various international pacts
recently concluded among several
European nations signify that our
Allies are falling out of step with
U.s." Mr.. Grew said.
Senator Austin, a member of the
Foreign Relations Committee. cited
the Anglo-Soviet mutual assistance
agreement of May 26. 1912; the So
viet-Czechoslovak treaty of Decem-
Der IL, 1943 and the Franco-Soviet
treaty of December 10, 1914.
These agreements are for secur-
lty," he said. They run against
Germany and her Axis, specifically.
They fit the pattern of the general
international organization for Sc
curity and peace"
He declared these treaties should
never be used as a pretext for OBJ
struction, or delay, in the establish
ment of the general security organi-
cation. They should be regarded in
their true character: AS steps in the
accomplishment of security proce-
dures."
Senator Fulbright, Democrat, of
Arkansas also urged creation now of
the machinery outlined at Dunbar
ton Oaks, and said if that were i'm
possible then a temporary council
OF foreign ministers surely can be
formed now, to consult and to agree
upon solutions for the problems
which will not wait"
The one unforgivable sin is for
our Government to do nothing" he
said,
