tack against any of them as an
attack upon all. It was this act
which Sen. Vandenberk Or
| Mich, chairman of the foreign
relations committee, sought to
preserve when he was helping
to draw up a charter Of the Unit
ed Nations. He and others there
insisted that the charter include
a statement that the United Ma
tions endorsed regional arrange
ments.
Such a regional arrangement
for the Western Hemisphere was
later formalized in the Reciprocal
Assistance Treaty at Rio de ia
metro.
If the U. S. joins the Atlantic
Union, and if some nation in
vades one Of the member nations
within the next two years, the
people of this country would have
no further chance to express their
opinion as to the issue of peace
or war. 1t would be up to Con-
gress to implement the agree
ment: and a new Congress will
not be elected until 1850.
Diplomatic officials say, how
ever, that the people have ex-
pressed widespread approval of
such a pact in letters and editor
ials. They add that public opin-
ion deteetors find that the pub
lies chief concern is over the
cost in dollars and the effect on
taxes. Both major parties in

commit US morally TO take part
IN World War II if it came. Its
sponsors in Congress and in the
State Department look upon it,
however, as a measure to safe
guard the peace. A strong COM
mitment like this, followed by
the necessary military prepared
ness on the part of the Western
democracies might tempt a de-
signing nation to seek conquest.
Times Different
George Washington's advice
was sound, they say, but only as
applied to the problems of his
time. We have twice learned
that we are inevitably drawn into
any world war, they continue, and
now we are faced with a new dan
ger - the worldwide threat of
Communism. The consequences
of our joining the Atlantic Union
are freely admitted by its spon-
sors:
/. 1t would mean increased mill
tary expenditures. Formation of
the union would be an empty and
dangerous gesture if each country
did not strengthen its forces as
much as possible. There would
be mutual assistance, but most
of it would inevitably come from
the United States.
Estimates of the cost to us of
military supplies for the Western
nations in the first year range
from 81 600, 900, 900 OBJ to $4,000
000, 900 900 (B).
Our own armed forces, say dip
lomatic sources, should not be
weaker than planned in last years
military program. And some ex-
perts now say that the 5,000,-
000, 900 defense budget which the
President is said to contemplate
would not provide money enough
to make the expansion which was
planned last year.
2. We would be committed to
resist aggression in Europe. This
doesn't mean that we would
pledge ourselves to go to war,
as that would be unconstitutional
We can go to war only when
Congress has declared war.
May Resemble REQ Pact
It is likely, according to well
informed officials, that the U. S.
will agree to a pledge similar
to that made with the American
republics at Rio de Janeiro on
Sept. 2, l947. That agreement
provided that IAN armed attack
by any state against an American
state shall be considered as an
attack against all American
states" And in case of attack,
all the nations would immediate
ly join for consultations as to the
next step.
The idea of u. S. armed resist
ance to foreign colonization or
invasion of any Independent
Western Hemisphere nation is
not new. 1t was implicit in the
doctrine which President Monroe
laid in his message to Congress
in 1923. 1t was broadened in the
Act of Shapultepee in 1945, when
the American Republics as a
| group agreed to look upon an at

of the famous reluctant taurine.
Like many a postwar product. 1t
grew out of wartime collaboration
which began when DR.. Menninger.
as brigadier general, served as
chief consultant in neuropsychiatry
to the Surgean General, and Leaf
was his public relations officer.
One of the country's leading psy-
chiatrists, DR.. Menninger is tall.
keen-eyed, patient man, who looks
like some one people would tell
their troubles to. He came here
to assume the presidency of the

General secretary Of the famous

he is the author of two other new
books, one a record of his wartime
findings, "Psychiatry in Troubled
World" the other. a collection of
recent series of lectures called "Psy-

this is a paradoxical study of the
