NEW YORK, July Ex-senator
Mcmahon. Democrat. of Connecti-
cut, urging moratorium on world
tension" last night proposed an in
ventory of what each nation con-
siders it's essential security needs, so
that a workable peace can be de-
veloped. U
Such lists might be many and
various" he said in addressing a
graduating class at Fordham Uni
versity. But surely they would con-
tain certain things in common
reasonable access to economic sup
plies, freedom from political or
economic interference from outside,
measure of international trade,
some advance toward internationally
recognized civil liberties"
I'm short" he added, "the substi-
tuition of live and growing inter-
national law for the present rule of
force and anarchy"
Should Be Submitted in FAN.
The Senator said such a security
inventory should be submitted to
the United Nations General AS
sembly at it's fall meeting for de-
bate and action.
ut is to be hoped" Senator Nc
Mahon declared. that the security
inventories when toted up, would
show general agreement on the
great principle that world peace can
not be created and maintained with
out adequate machinery to enforce
peace.
1T Is to be hoped that all nations
will gladly accept something that
goes beyond the demonstrably in
adequate mechanism which is all
they have now.
In this way the burning ques-
tion of peace with justice can be
put fully and openly to Russia"
And an outline of what this coun-
try regards as its security needs,
Senator Mcmahon continued
should create the atmosphere in
which an American appeal for world
peace and for adequate machinery
would not fall on deaf ears"
Sees Disintegration Otherwise.
And because of the difficulties
which have plagued the United Ma
tions, particularly through the big
nations right to use the veto power
in the Security Council, Senator
Mcmahon said, Europe is trembling
in the balance.
| Another winter without plan or
direction will result in Europe's COM
plete disintegration," the Connecti-
cut lawmaker prophesied.
1--WE now are fully aware" he
continued, that the death of order
and free society brings to the
burial rites as gladstone heirs the
Communist associates of Moscow
who are ever ready to participate In
the spreading of Russia's influence
and power
CHASING Bernard Baruch's "cold
war" description of American rela-
tions with Russia as an apt" term
Senator Mcmahon said that lin all
seriousness that if ways and means
are not found and devised to stop
that cold war. hot war will come
and the world will end in cold
ashes"
Europe May Trade With Soviet.
AS for the Marshall plan, Senator
Mcmahon said that IF we succeed
in setting Europe on its feet and sc
make her more productive she will
in the absence of agreement to
the contrary-ship her finished fac
tory products to the east in return
for food and gold from Russia
Those factory products will inevi-
tably hasten the equipment of Rus
sia and her satellite nations with
weapons of mass destruction, in
Guiding the atomic bomb
On the other hand. Senator Nc
Mahon said, failure to assist West
ern Europe would lead to "domina
ton of Eurasia by a totalitarian
power"
If Russia refused to join in the
inventory plan, the Senator said
then we might have to proceed in
strengthened United Nations with
as many other countries as are will
ing to come along with u.s.

hundreds of animals in the State
of S. Luis Potosi, Mexico, and gov
eminent police may have to be called
