ternational collaboration, political
economic and social.
Not long after the Senate's action,
the White House made public a
statement received from President
Truman at Potsdam asserting that
Senate ratification of the Charter
substantially advances the cause
of peace" The text of his statement
follows:
TT is deeply gratifying that the
Senate has ratified the United Ma
tions charter by virtually unani-
nous vote. The action of the Sen
ate substantially advances the cause
of world peace"
The ratification of the Charter
was hailed by former Secretary of
State Cordell Hull, under whom it
was initiated at Dumbarton Oaks,
and by Acting Secretary of State
Grew. Mr.. Hull's statement, is
sued from his apartment at Ward
man Park Hotel and through the
State Department, said:
by its overwhelming approval OF
the United Nations Charter, the
Senate has given the world striking
demonstration of the determination
of our people that this country shall
meet fully its share of responsibility
in the maintenance of future peace
and security and in the advancement
of the well-being of mankind. The
Senate is to be commended for the
high plane of its debate on the
Charter and for the fine spirit Of
nonpartisanshipm manifested through
out.
Hopes Other Nations Follow.
May this resounding vote of the
Senate be followed by speedy ap-
proval of the Charter by the other
United Nations and its early en-
trance into force to carry out the
noble purposes for which it was con-
ceived."
The statement by Mr.. Grew fol-
lows:
The passage of the United Ma
tions Charter by the Senate is
memorable event in the history of
the United States and the world.
BY their action. the members of the
Senate have taken most impor
tant step toward establishing
security and peace throughout the
world
Millions of men, women and
children have died because nations
took to the naked sword instead
of the conference table to settle
their differences.
Senate Congratulated.
THE United Nations Charter,
approved by such an overwhelm-
ing majority, represents the labor
of citizens of so nations, united in
their desire for a peaceful world.
The Charter itself is the founda-
ton and cornerstone on which the
international organization to keep
the peace will be built. This Or
ganization can survive only through
the faith and labor of the citizens
of all these nations.
Il congratulate the members of
the Senate for their work today
I know their action will stand out
for all time as shining milestone
on the road to peace"
Mr.. Truman earlier informed
Senate President McKellar, in a
message from PotSdam, that when
subsequent agreements are made by
him with the Security Council on
the ALLEGATION of American armed
forces to be used to help maintain
peace, he will ask Congress for
legislation approving them.
Joint Action Expected.
This was interpreted by Senator
Lucas, Democrat, of Illinois, and
many other Senators as meaning
that the President will ask for rati-
fication of such agreements by joint
resolution of both houses of Con-
gress by majority vote and not as
a treaty for action by a two-thirds
vote of the Senate.
Praising the Presidents statement,
Senator Lucas said
His message is timely and con-
structive.
First, it definitely eliminates any
possibility that these military agree
ments for troop contingents to be
