and it's hard to say where I might
be four months from now"
Senator Pepper said former Secre-
tary of State Byrnes' account in his
memoirs, "Speakly Frankly" of an
unfortunate meeting between Pres
ident Truman and Soviet Foreign,
Minister Molotov, when the latter
was en- route to the San Franciso
meeting of the United Nations, was
a classic bit Of Anglo-Saxon under
statement. President Truman, the
Senator said, read the riot act to
Mr.. Molotov to such an extent that
the Russian stalked out of the White
House in white fury.
That was only one of long list
of manifestations of distrust, Sen
ator Pepper feels. He would add to
that such other things, manifesting
not only what he calls mistrust but
ineptitude in the realm of power
politics, the asserted failure to give
friendly minorities within the Soviet
orbit any tangible evidence of CO.
operation.
Vote on Spain Cited.
1t is alright to dislike communism
the Senator thinks, and well enough
to deny aid to it's adherents. But
why limit our statutory prohibitions
he asks, to the Communists? And
he points to the House vote last week
to include fascist Spain as benfici-
ary of the European Recovery Pro-
gram. This later was stricken out OF
the bill.

ais guard to even make face at q

Senator Pepper sticks to his belief
that Mr.. Stain was sincere in 1945
when he told him the USSR did not
want to waste her substance on wal
or preparations for war;"
stain is no world revolutionary, ;
the Senator said. I'm fact, he is
where he is today because he de-
feated Trotsky, the exponent o1
world revolution. Stain is cynic
His people have suffered under one
despotic yoke after another for q
thousand years. They have yet te
realize chance to live in any way
comparable to the way the people

He feels that the Soviet desire
for peace and a better living stand
ard Is sincere and justifiable He
feels, too, that the United States
was inept in waiting months to ever
acknowledge a Russian note soor
after the end of the war requesting
an American loan.

Rough Guess Recalled.
He recalled that during his testi-
mony before the committee on
March Is he "made rough guess
that it would cost $4,000, ,000, ,00o
more than the military budget OF
last year to support the completely
phased military establishment re-
quired to make a TO air group pro-
gram Air Force fully effective in
combat. This answer was predi-
Gated upon the creation of a bal
anced establishment of land, sea,
air and Merchant Marine elements
called for by the considerations
which are fully set forth in Annex
A. On this basis, my estimate was
not too high"
II did not intend to suggest the
creation at this time of such a
costly military establishment" Mr..
Forrestal continued. Neither did
intend to imply that it might cost
18,000,000,000 year more merely
to increase the regular Air Force by
Is groups, from SIS to 10 groups, !"
Mr.. Forrestal added.
The proposed revival of the Sc
lective Service Law would call for
registration of men up to As, but
with limited draft of nonveterans
from the age groups of 10 through
25. The UNIT program would pro-
vide for a years training of the ma

added that in many respects democ-

chinery, heavy materials and con-
sumner goods pouring into Western
Europe. They have gone through,
themselves an even greater dew
astation than the Low Countries.
They need desperately, as Stain
himself pointed out to me, the food
and clothing which their people
lack. They have 25,000,0 900 home
less. Their reaction can take one
of two courses. Either they can
back down or they can prepare to
fight that developing coalition. And
Orientals don't back down"
Recalling the criticism which has
been heaped on him for his views,
Senator Pepper said that while
President Roosevelt has been
branded by many people an ap-
peaser in his relations with Russia,
the fact remains that he had the
perspective to keep the relationship
fluid and his attitude towards them
was that they must be judged on
the basis of their background rather
than as one would judge an Ameri-
can.
Could Have Done Better.
Under the most favorable cir
cumstances and the most generous
attitude we might have adopted, the
rulers in the Kremlin would have
been difficult to get along with
Senator Pepper feels. But he re-
calls that the aggressive aspect OF
the Soviet regime began to acceler-
ate after the pronunciation of the
so-called Truman Doctrine.
They're tough. Their manners
are bad and their methods are
worse" the Senator said, but with
greater perspective in our own
leadership we might have done bet
ter than we have"
