In disagreement, Gen Rankin

enough pressure were brought to
bear it might be possible to cut the
Senate hearings short and force an
early vote. But that is not what is
wanted. The true goal is to enlist
the greatest possible support for the
charter, and the way to do that is
not to stifle criticism but to welcome
it. When the opponents have ex-
hausted all their arguments, the fact
will remain that this charter, while
not ideal, is the best that could be
obtained and is the only thing that
offers real hope of lasting peace.
The essential thing is to make this
fact clear to the American people,
and to do this it is necessary to
encourage rather than suppress
debate and discussion. That is why

had looked to Republican hatred of the

success of the conference have been
many and varied. Mr.. Vandenberg
fathered the important charter amend
ment which gives the United Nations
assembly the right to inquire into any
matter which affects peace and security,
no matter what the origin. He was in
charge of the American fight for proper
recognition in the charter of the inter-
American group as regional agency.
Comdr. Stassen, on the other hand
had the huge job of conducting through

cations for their craftsmanship and their
patience and the lucidity of their dis
cussions of important points at issue.

The Political Mill
By Gould Lincoln

SAN FRANCISCO, June 2s.-An
American policy of international CO.
operation emerges from the United
Nations Conference, backed by both Re-
publicans and Democrats. 1t Is an old
saying Of breast-beating politicians of
both parties that politics ends at the
waters edge" This, too often, has
been true only in the event of war.
Here in San Francisco, however, Re-
publican members Of the United States
delegation have labored side by side
with their Democratic colleagues They
have aided materially in the draft of
the New World charter for peace anG
the spread of humanitarian principles.
Indeed, the contributions made to the
conference accomplishments by Re-
publican delegates, Senator Vanden-
berg of Michigan, Comdr. Harold E. Stas-
sen, former Governor of Minnesota, and
Representative Eaton of New Jersey,
and by John Foster Dulles, a principa !.
adviser Of the delegation, have been
OF tremendous value. Democratic
Secretary of State Stettinius, head
the delegation, had no more arden
supporters in his effort to drive th
conference to success than these gentle
men.
Republican and Democratic member
of the delegation have sought from the
beginning to keep all discussions within
the delegation itself free of partisan
politics They have been successful in
this. The consequence is that the
United Nations charter will be laid
before the Senate as a non-partisan
accomplishment. 1t will be debated in
the Upper House--it is the hope OF
both Senator Vandenberg and Senator
Connally, the Democratic chairman of
the Foreign Relations Committee-in
a nonpartisan way. 1t is, after all, an
American document, not Republican or
Democratic, insofar as it bears the mark
of the United States. The very fact
of this nonpartisan political character
of the support will make its journey
through the Senate a comparatively
simple one.
Opponents of international collabora-
tion in this country-imbued with the old
spirit of isolationism, which ruined the
hopes of the late President Woodrow Will
son and of millions of other Americans
don't, like this idea of nonpartisan sup
port of the treaty. If they could dig in
through Republican party opposition to
