lieves "it is important to act
promptly on arms implementa-
ton to reassure our cosigners (un-
der the treaty. that we mean
business and are in earnest"
Comment by Lucas.
In his comment on the moves
to economic on foreign spending
| for peace, Senator Lucas told re-
porters:
The people Of America in time
of war place no limitation on the
amount of money to be appropri-
ated to win the war. In World
War II, we spent over 200 billion
dollars and no one raised a voice
in protest or charged the Govern
ment with squandering the Ma
tons wealth.
1T should be understood that
while hostilities have ceased. the
cold war continues and all
the administration is attempting
through present bipartisan policy
is to prevent the cold war from
flaring into a hot war from which
no nation could survive even
though it obtained victory.
I'VE spent more than 200 bill
lion to win the last war without
a kick and, when we propose
small fraction of that amount tt
win an everlasting peace, we dis
cover a segment of our society
who are more interested in Gov
eminent economy than in giving
the Marshall Plan and the Allan
tic Pact and other phases OF oul
foreign policy an opportunity t.
keep the peace"
Before the final vote on th'
treaty is reached. probably Wed
nesday, Senator Watkins, Repub
lican, of Utah. expects to offer a
least two reservations aimed a
preventing sending armed force:
into action without approval o.
Congress and an understanding
that there is no automatic com
mitment to declare war.
Although reservations may bt
attached to a treaty by majority
vote, no such action is expected
in this case.
Taylor to Oppose Treaty.
The II nations entering int
the treaty agree that an attack or
one shall be regarded as an at
tack on all, but each country de-
termines the steps it deems neces
sary to take, in accordance with
It's constitutional processes in an,
given Situation.
Senator Taylor, Democrat OF
Idaho. who ran for Vice President
on the Progressive ticket with
Henry A. Wallace last year, told
reporters yesterday he intends tc
vote against the treaty because he
believes it would weaken the
United Nations organization and
lead to an armament race.
1T seems to me-" he said. that
what it (the pacD amounts to is
a military alliance and can't find
any place in the history books
where military alliances have
headed off any wars
[ The Senators, meanwhile, were
urged by the National Council fol
Prevention Of War to postpone
their decision on the pact and the
arms program until next winter
Such delay. the council, said
would enable the lawmakers tc
get a clearer understanding OF
