BY ]. A. O'LEARY.

The United Nations Charter

put of for the separate treaty that
will follow establishment of the or

Although the committees favor
able report may be ready Monday,
Majority Leader Barley and Chair
man Connally of the Foreign Rela-
tons Committee have agreed to de-
lay the Charter debate until July
% in the hope of passing the Bret
ton Woods world monetary agree
ment first.
Breton Plan Comes Up. Monday.
The Breton Woods plan will be
taken UP Monday, but with Senator
Taft, Republican, of Ohio, fighting
to delay action until fall, it may
take leaders most of the week to
push it through.
Three members of the Foreign
Relations Committee were absent
and not recorded when the Charter
was reported out yesterday: Sena-
tors Murray, Democrat, of Montana
Johnson, Republican, of California
and Shipstead, Republican, of Min
nesota. Senator Murray is expected
to support the Charter, but the
other two have not made known
how they will vote.
Committee action came within
half an hour after week of hear
ings ended with John Foster Dulles
prominent Republican authority or
foreign affairs, supporting the Char
ter and answering last-minute argu-
ments of the opposition.
Senator Millikin, Republican, Of
Colorado, who has not yet revealed
how he will vote, told reporters last
night he has been greatly reas.
sured by the answers he received tt
questions during the hearings.
After listening to opposition argu'
ments all day, Mr.. Dulles told tn,
committee he had not heard "ont
cogent reason" for refusing to adopt
the Charter. Speaking as one whit
took an active part in the Sar
Francisco Conference, Mr.. Dslle'
said the small nations were no
afraid of Security Council action
Their chief fear was that it woulc
not act in emergencies, he said, ane
they fought the veto power giver
to the Big Five permanent member:
of the Council.
Dulles Answers Questions.
Senator Millikin put a series Of
questions to Mr.. Dulles, and elicitee
answers, the substance of which fol.
low:
On the question of future dis.
armament, the new world organiza.
ton can only recommend. Tht
United States will decide tn,
amount and nature of its arma.
ments.
That the amount of militar,
strength this country would be ex
pected to furnish the Securit,
Council to avert any future threa
to peace will have to be determines
in a separate treaty to be ratiflet
after the United States joins TIL
world organization.
The nature Of the organization /
such that the right to withdraw ais,
is inherent. A specific rule govern
ing withdrawal was omitted becaus,
of feeling that in the old League o
Nations such q rule encouraged
would-be aggressors.
The Charter does not impair tn,
Monroe Doctrine as an instrument
Of hemisphere defense.
