Loaded Questions

Senator Byrd has fired a rather heavily
loaded question at the Secretary OF State.
He wants to know whether anything In
the North Atlantic Pact commits this coun-
try to furnish arms to the member nations
after the pact has been approved. In other
words, II a Senator votes for the pact does
he commit himself to vote for the arms
agreement?
Secretary Acheson has not asked The
Star for suggestions, but here are few,
anyway
II his answer to Senator Byrds question
is yes, then he encourages the anti-arms
Senators to vote against the pact itsel:
If he answers no. then he creates support
for the pact but strengthens the opposition
to the arms agreement.
So Mr.. AcheSon might reply by saying, in
the first place, that he never started beat
ing his wife, and that, Furthermore, Sena-
tors vote is matter for the Senator's own
conscience. Then he might suggest that
Senator Byrd consult his conscience on
such questions as these:
Does he favor the pact as an instrument
that would contribute to the security of the
Western World, including the United
States? If the Senator says yes he will
vote for the pact. Then the Secretary
might ask him whether he favors getting
the maximum of security that will come
from helping arm our allies within the
limits imposed by our own resources, or
whether he favors a lesser degree of
security, with the United States carrying
the whole load In event of war.
OF course, Senator Byrd might complain
that these, too. are loaded questions. To
which Mr.. Acheson would reply: You
ought to know
