Wallace To Be
Silent On U.S.
Foreign Policy
lBy AssoeIated Pressl

WASHINGTON, Sept. 10
Secretary of State Henry Wallace
is not to make any more speeches
about the foreign policy of the
United States while the sessions
of the II United Nations are be-
ing held in Europe.
That is the purport of report
that followed the conference yes
terday afternoon between Presi-
dent Truman and Secretary Wal
lace.
A speech and a letter issued
by Wallace, in which he advocat-
ed a policy of Cancellation to-
ward Russia, instead of the "get
tough" policy pursued by Secre-
tary of State Byrnes, was the
cause of the conference between
Truman and Wallace.
Wallace's remarks are said to
have perturbed Byrnes, who felt
that much of what he had done
in Paris in setting up the policy
of the United States toward Rus
STA had been undone by Wallace.
Byrnes is still maintaining 81
lence about the Wallace speech
and letter, though associates in
timated today that he felt his
prestige had been lowered in the
world generally.

Churchill Advocates Organization

DECLARES BOMB SAFE
WITH SECRET m
KEEPING OF UNITED
STATES

LONDON, Sept. 19.--F Former
Prime Minister Winston ChuF-
chill made a 16-minute speech
today in which he advocated the
organization of a United States
of Europe to add stability TO that
area of the world.
The speech was delivered Zu-
rich, Switzerland.
Conditions now in many parts
of Europe are deplorable, he de-
clared. Instead of peace and
plenty there are contention and
need. Squalor is rampant IN
many areas, and cruelty is still
given a free hand in some places.
The first move toward the or
ganization of the United States
of Europe, he said, would be
unity between France and Ger
many. Interests of those coun-
tries are so lnterrelated, they
would profit immeaSurably were
they united in working for O goal
of common good
Churchill then depressed 10
speak of the atomic bomb. tie
said it was a fearful weapon,
but that, as long as the secret
of its production is held by the
United States alone, the world
need not be afraid it will be used
in spirit of conquest. The only
way, he added, that the United
States would use the bomb would
be to fight for right and free
dom.
He said furthcs Il these Is
a war in which the atomic bomb
is used extensively it will bring
an end to civilization and may
well disintegrate the world.
He concluded by stating mat
the United Nations must insist
on the disarming Of Germany.
and that she must not be accord
ed an. opportunity To prepare TO
Nplunge the world into war again.
