chusetts, another Republican men,
ber of Foreign Relations.
Senator Morse, of Oregon, who
lost a chance to fill one vacancy
the Republicans would have had on
Foreign Relations under a 7-to-6
ratio, was more outspoken than his
Republican colleagues. He called
the Democratic action "a shocking
reputation of the bipartisan foreign
policy in the Senate" and went on:
1T is obvious that the decision
of the Democrats will make it pos
sible for them to play partisan poll
tics with the issue of war or peace"
And a Republican who asked not
to be named said:
1T is the worst thing the Demo-
Gratis could have done. They nave
picked themselves a fight on for
eign policy. This means that from
now on we Republicans will go
after some of the key boys in the
State Department, something we
have refrained from doing"
