rope against President Truman's
foreign policy.
only if Il state of war existed
could be accused of giving aid and
comfort to an enemy in expressing
my point of view," he asserted.
The British Broadcasting Corp.
was criticized in newspapers today
for giving Mr.. Wallace network time
at a favored spot last night for a
talk in which he asserted that "the
immense power and wealth of
America is being used for strategic
and military purposes"
Mr.. Wallace appeared tired from
his 800-mile speaking tour in the
British West Midlands. He was not
laughing as yesterday when he first
read reports of the strong criticism
leveled at him for his utterances
by Senators Vandenberg, Republic
can, of Michigan; Robertson, Re-
publican, Of Wyoming, and Eastland,
Democrat, of Mississippi, and a sec
ton of the American press.

in Congress that the place for me
to campaign against the proposed
military loans to Greece and Turkey
lis not in Britain but in my own
country" his statement said.
IT did campaign in the United
States, and the British people,
through the medium of the British
press, knew my attitude very well
before I came here. I have men,
toned my attitude Of opposition to
loans for military purposes only in
cidentally in Britain"
"It Is the American Congress that
decides American policy, not the
British public Mr.. Wallace contin-
ued. II have said that America,
like all countries, can choose be-
tween two policies: one stands for
strong U. N. and leads to last
ing peace; the other stands for a
divided world and leads ultimately
to war.
Il have said and I shall say some
groups in America stand for two
world policy. I have said, and 1
shall say, that stand for the use
of American resources through the
U. N. for the betterment of all"
Receives Three Cablegrams.
Mr.. Wallace's speeches and the
ensuing American criticism brought
him. he said, only three cablegrams
from the United States. They were
from, Greenwich, Conn, Seattle,
Wash, and Washington, D. c. Mr..
Wallace did not name the senders.
Each message congratulated the
former Vice President and urged
him to continue his campaign. He
had sheaf of congratulatory mes
sages from Britons, and several in
vitations to speak at other British
cities.
Mr.. Wallace made a 15-minute
BIC broadcast Immediately after
the popular quarter-hour "9 o'clock
news" last night. Some BBC off,
cials estimated that at least 15,000,-
900 Britons heard him.
Earlier, Mr.. Wallace drew some
1000 listeners for another speech
critical of President Truman's plan
for $400 100000 in aid to Greece and
Turkey.
He said comment which his
speeches here have evoked in the
United States Senate seemed to
show "a hysterical state of mind
indicating a feeling that the United
States now, in all truth, is at war
with Russia"
Says World Needs New Deal.

Americans will ask themselves
whether some hidden anti-Ameri-
can influence has been at work.
Perhaps our own authorities might
prudently examine the question"
In his radio speech MIR Wallace

should use it's wealth ito raise the
standard of living in countries which

Mr.. Roosevelt's ideal of freedom
from want and said: The whole
world needs a new deal, and there
