Also, Gen. Chennault said. "It
is optimistic nonsense to suppose
that with all of Asia in Com

Philippines will remain peaceful

He said the ultimate result will
be that "the powerful industrial

manpower of a communized Asia
In another form this is exactly
what we fought the last bloody

Senator Vandenberg congratu-

of Staff had properly emphasized
that the overall value of the
treaty lies in the promise to stand
together in any contingency rath-

I'm other words" Senator Van
denberg said. your plans do not
contemplate developing military
force strong enough to win an
other World War but rather to

Gen. Bradley agreed and added
that he is one of those who be-

treaty had existed before World
War II, that war would never have
happened. because no aggressor
would have been able to pick off

The TenneSSeean suggested that

Vandenberg Supports
Drive for 5 Pei. Cut
In Federal Expenses
BY ire Assoeiofec Press

Senator Vandenberg. Republi-
can, of Michigan. Joined Senator
Taft. Republican. of Ohio, today
in drive for a S per cent cut
In Government operating expenses
Senator vandenberg said that
IL the slash is applied across the
board to appropriation bills as
they come before the Senate. he
will ask that funds for the Euro
pean Recovery Program be cut
in like amount.
Previously, the Michigan Sena-
tor fought to prevent any slash
in the $500, 000, 900 Marshall
Plan authorization, although he
said that was only a ceiling under
which the Appropriations Com
mittees had a free hand to make
reductions.
Il don't know any business that
couldn't make a 5 per cent cut in
its housekeeping costs If it had
to-" Senator Vandenberg said.
With expenditures going the rate
they are In the Government. I'd
like to see that economy applied"
Policy Committee Decision Sought.
How far the current economy
drive may get is a question that
will have to await action on all
appropriation bills. The Senate
lis just beginning to take them up
Senator Taft also talked over
the situation with a reporter. He
said he will ask the Senate Re
publican Policy Committee to de-
eide tomorrow what course the
party ought to take in an effort
to cut expenses to the point where
it will not be necessary to raise
new taxes to avoid a deficit.
Senator Taft and Senator
Bridges. Republican. of New
Hampshire led a move last week
to cut $11 .00o, 900 off the s2.429.-
600, 900 labor Federal security ap-
preparations bill, the first regular
money measure to come before
the Senate.
The Sill 200, 900 proposed cut
represented per cent of operat-
ing funds, outside of grants to
States which make up the largest
share of the bill.
When this effort failed, Senator
Taft moved to send the bill back
to the Appropriations Committee.
Parliamentarians ruled that the
move automatically ordered a S
per cent cut in the total figure
at which the bill was approved
by the House.
Green to Ask New Vote.
But Senator Green, Democrat,
of Rhode Island filed notice in
the Senate yesterday he will ask
for a new vote on the question.
While Senator Vandenberg said
he favors cutting appropriations
bills 5 per cent below the House.
approved totals, Senator Taft said
he wants cuts of S per cent below
the figures approved by the Senate
Appropriations Committee.
Usually the Senate committee
adds funds to the money bills
over the amounts the House has
voted.
Meanwhile. Senator Russell,
Democrat. of Georgia. a member
of the Appropriations Committee,
said off the floor he will support
an overall cut of s per cent in
Government expenses.
But the Georgia Senator in
sisted that this end can't be
reached by blanket reductions.
There are some bills that can
stand 10 per cent cut and some
that can't stand any reduction at
ALL" he figured.
