Full Senate Support
OF U. 5. Peace Plans
Predicted by ConnaIIy
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
Overwhelming" Senate an.
proval OF American participation
in an international peace-pre-
serving organization was pre-
dicted today by Chairman Con-
nally of the Foreign Relations
Committee.
He linked his prediction to the
bipartisan Endorsement of such a
program by the Senate's 16 newest
members.
The freshmen Senators-10 Demo-
Gratis and 6 Republicans - dis
patched an unusual letter to the
White House yesterday assuring
President Roosevelt of their senti-
ment on the matter and wishing him
success in his conferences with other
Allied leaders.
Senator Connally's qualification
was unbounded. As chairman of
the Foreign Relations Committee,
he will have to carry the load when
the treaty establishing the peace
machinery comes before the Senate.
Provide 16 Assured Votes.
Here not only we're 16 assured
votes for a Dumbarton Oaks model
peace organization, but there was
added satisfaction for the Texan
in the similarity between their joint
declaration and the lasting peace
resolution which he himself led
through the Senate.
IT am tremendously gratified by
the statement issued by the Is new
Senators in general approval of the
Dumbarton Oaks conference and
expressing adherence to interna-
tional machinery to preserve the
peace and prevent aggression" he
said.
These Senators come fresh from
the people. They were elected last
November. 1t seems to me they are
eloquently rejecting the views of
their constituents and the people of
the United States generally.
1--WE welcome their cooperation
and support in the high purpose we
are seeking to promote through the
erection of international peace ma
chinery.
with their support and aggres-
sive advocacy it is difficult to be-
Ieve that the Senate will fail to
ratify the treaty by an overwhelm-
ing vote"
Overcoming their hesitancy to
speak out on such a far-reaching
subject after only three weeks in
the Senate, the 16 decided that the
President ought to know their views
before his momentous talks with
Premier Stain and Prime Minister
Churchill.
In addition to favoring formation
"at the earliest possible moment" of
q United Nations organization to
keep the peace, the signers stated
their belief that this Government
should use all reasonable means to
assure our Allies and the other ma
tions of the world that we intend to
share in the direction of and the
responsibility for the settlement of
this war and the maintenance of
peace"
Then, in line with the principles
enunciated by Republican Senator
Vandenberg of Michigan in his re-
cent foreign policy address, they
asked for the early conclusion of
treaties to demilitarize Germany
and Japan land to keep them de-
militarized. @
1--WE believe" they said, that
this Government should, as soon as
possible, arrange to participate af-
flrmatively in all decisions affecting
the establishment of law and order
in the liberated or enemy countries" >"
