First in the field to take this line
may be Senator Taft. He is said to
have a speech on foreign policy in
his system, ready for delivery some

which he is soon to embark. Mr..
Taft never has concealed his natural

how far he is prepared to 60 at this

1t is certain, however, that he will
attack the administrations conduct
of postwar foreign affairs.
Keep Clear of Policy.
Heretofore he has seemed willing
to leave Senate policy in this field
largely in the hands of Senator
Vandenberg. Occasionally, however
usually when away from washing

his lack of any real sympathy for the
course being followed by President
Truman-and Senator Vandenberg
While he has been satisfied to have

If it is no better than it is now it
probably will be politically popular

frankly believes that the admin

wise in it's use of men. materials

has yet proved itself, Sooner

This Changing World
Rio Treaty Called Only Concrete Step
Toward World Peace in Many Years

The Rio treaty has shown tina
we expect every nation in this hemi'
sphere regardless of size and wealth
to contribute to maintaining peace
in this hemisphere without being
dictated to by any other government
which may be larger and richer.
The consolidation of the Northern
and Southern Hemispheres into on,
defense unit would have been per
formed globally had it not been fol

power AS it is, we have to be salts.
fed with a regional agreement tn,
importance of which cannot bs
sufficiently emphasized.
Military Potential.
It Is true that only a few of the
American bloc can be described a.
militarily strong. But the military
potential of the others backed by the
natural resources that exist in every
one of the countries which signed
the Rio agreement is a good guaran-
ty that aggression against the West
ern Hemisphere will be easier re-
sisted than if we had remained
divided.
President Truman pledged himself
in his speech before the representa-
tives of the sister republics that
America will remain strong. This
Is interpreted in Washington to
mean that he will urge the people
of this country to tighten their belts
once more and increase the sadly
depleted American national defense
to point where it can live up to
the Chief Executives pledge. A
similar effort is likely to be made
by some of the larger South Amer
ican republics as soon as the pro-
posal for the hemisphere unifica-
ton of arms, which was passed by
the House in the last session, is ap-
proved by the Senate next year.
Agreements providing for recipro-
cal economic and financial assist
ance are expected to be reached at
the next conference, which will be
held in January at Bogota, Colombia
We must expect arguments and
disagreements at the next meetings
But the principal fact that the ma
tions in this hemisphere have estab-
lished a solid foundation for theil
future, regardless of what form OF
government they have in their owr
countries, Is the first genuinely en-
couraging development In this
chaotic world.
The historic Rio treaty may moi
establish world peace. But 1t does
assure hemisphere peace and prom
ises to build up wall guaranteeing
at least the unity of the American
republics in the event Of another
aggression by any predatory natior
Of the Old World.

have witnessed a cascade of inter-
national treaties, pacts and agree
ments. But they were not worth
the paper they were written on
because hardly was the ink dry
when some of the signatories were
thinking either how to circumvent
them or how to break them outright
The reason for the past failures
was that the interests of the con-

No such thought existed when the
nations of the Western Hemisphere
met at Rio. There are and there
will be differences among the coun-
tries of this hemisphere. 1t Is un-
avoidable. But at the Rio confer
ence they all agreed to submerse
their disagreements for the good OF
the people. The result of the under
standing of higher principles has
been the treaty which promises not
only to maintain peace among the
republics OF this hemisphere but
also creates a western entity wherein
all the signatories have pledged tc
act as one in the event of an ag-

Ne,C Tax Plan

Needing the demands of some Re-
publican congressman for more
substantial tax cuts for the lower
income groups, the house passed a
modified version of the KnutSon pro-
posal for a straight 20 per cent re-
duction.
Under the new bill. present rates
would be cut 80 per cent on taxable
income up to $1,000; from 80 to 20
per cent on income between 81 ,00l
and Sl.395: 20 per cent on income
up to 1902. 1896. and 10 per cent on all
earnings above the latter figure.
Over "a million persons in the lower
brackets would benefit from the in
creased reduction.
Speaker Martin threw his full sup
port behind the new modified meas
ure. Said he: These tax cuts
are entirely practicable while at the
same time payments are made on
the national debt. People in the
lower income brackets must have
relief from crushing taxation and
unbearably high prices. il. Venture
capital must have a chance for a
reasonable return as an incentive to
invest in order to make more jobs
at good wages, increase production,
improve quality and bring down
prices for all. :"
