Arising after Barley had con-
clused his brief speech, the gray

he had heard read lone of the
great forward steps in the move
ment toward an enduring peace.
This spe axis in fortnight
terms" he declared. ut clearly
states the way. 1 feel great work
has been done toward making a
better and happier world. ~
Hardly had the session recessed
until Thursday before Senator
Vandenberg (R-Mich), foremost
foreign policy spokesman for his
party, issued statement saying
the Joint announcement is by far
the best that has issued from any
major conference" He added:
1T raffirms basic principles of
Justice to which we are deeply at
tached. and it undertakes for
first time to implement these
principles by direct action.
1T is impossible to pass con-
elusive judgment on the extent OF
these commitments pending more
details. But the total demilitriza-
ton of Germany and the pledge
to proceed among our Allied
friends on the basis of the Atlantic
Charter are greatly encouraging.
These are among the things L
have been talking about. l well
come the early promise of COM
plete Dumbarton Oaks charter on
a proper basis and l deeply hope
that the subsequent disclosure of
the settlement of the voting veto
question will justify our support. .
Vandenberg' reference was to
the issue whether the great powers
shall have a veto in the peace coun-
Gil on action against themselves.

I have hoped for all t h e way

However, he said he did not de-

At the same time he said he
