Wallace was next asked if he'd sup

replied: Its too early to say"
Most Of the conference, Wallace's
first after his European tour. was de-
voted to foreign policy matters and he
repeated his vigorous opposition to
Tho Truman Doctrine" and its impli-
cations Of Il new world war.
Looking in grand shape. with a lot
of new color in his face. Wallace said
his direct criticism of the Truman
doctrine of military and economic aid
to Greece and Turkey was based on
this theory:
- think you can get peace best by
investing American dollars in plows
and tractors rather than in machine
guns. planes and tanks abroad"
When a reporter asked ii the Tru-
man doctrine represented sending aid
in the form of planes and tanks, Wal
lace said: About half the aid for the
Greeks is for military purposes and all
Of the aid for Turkey is for military
purposes. If the program is carried
out that scale all owe the world. it
would be about three-fourths for mill
tary purposes. You just don't buy
peace that way.

efforts of COP Senators Morse and

Indications are the "all or nothing

Wallace answered they are "f you
want to shoot all the people who be-
lieve in democracy in Greece"
Another inquiry concerned the pos
sibility of civil war in France. Wal
lace said he believed our policy gives
aid and comfort to those who'd like to
overtum the government of France"
There are those who believe that our
policy is aiding DeGaulle.'
A particularly unfair query came
from a reporter who asked if Wallace
intended to retire to a farm out in
Iowa There was some laughter and
then he said Il don't see how a person
with my background can retire now.
I'd be a coward to do it,
Another questioner wanted to know
ii Wallace regretted going to Europe

He added he went over to strengthen

While Wallace praised the United

tries. he said the American UN asso-

Because Of the military program and
its e%xpansionist impact on the econ
