Norman Thomas Ask!

Of the Socialist Party. spoke out
today In favor OF the North At
lantic Treaty. but urged the SEN
ate to accompany It's action with
an appeal TO the world to reduce
arrnanents.
He attached two other condi-
tons 10 his Endorsement Of the
treaty: First. that Spain be not
taken in TO the pact later: second
that it be made clear the United
States viii not support other sig
natories in colonial wars. such as
the Dutch in Indonesia or France
In Indo-China.
Mr.. Thomas appeared before
the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee after the committee
had received n statement from the
Communist Party Of the United
States. denouncing the defense
pact as an aggressive military
alliance"
Statement Put I'm Record.
The Communist statement was
from Eugene Dennis. general sec
retary Of the party. and the ten
tative plan was to have IL read at
the hearing for him by another
party official. Dennis is one OF
the defendants In the Communist
conspiracy trial going on ins New
York.
Chairman Connally said, how
ever, the statement would so into
the Record without having been
read. This course was decided on
the chairman said. because the
author Of the statement Is not
available for croSs-examination.
Mr.. Thomas testified that. "aS
matters stand, I favor ratification
of the pact for reasons somewhat
similar to those given by John
Foster Dulles. To refuse now to
ratify the pact In which our Gov
eminent took the initiative might
be a tremendous jolt to govern
ments and parties in Europe on
which the hope of democracy de-
pends."
Miss Draper First Witness.
Mr.. Thomas said he is not COM
mitting the Socialist Party or the
Postwar World Council. Of which
he is chairman. because there is
division in both organizations.
The first witness today was Miss
Muriel Draper. president of the
Congress of American Women. op-
posing the treaty.
"Is your organization on the
Attorney Generals subversive
list?" asked Chairman Connally.
"Oh, indeed 1t Is. sir. as are most
organizations fighting for peace.
Miss Draper replied.
Sees bad Faith"
In urging the Senate committee
to stop consideration of the treaty
in view of the Foreign Ministers
meeting, the Dennis statement
argued:
ITO cut of these hearings. IN
an attempt to rush ratification
before the people have made them
selves heard. would reveal that the
United States approaches the For
eign Ministers Conference In bad
faith.
"Our Government cannot even
pretend to good faith In negotia-
tions for q peaceful settlement OF
differences with the Soviet Union.
II In advance Of negotiations 1t
concludes this aggressive military
alliance.
1.-THE masses of the American
workers and people recoil with
horror from the prospect Of the
atomic war which the Atlantic
treaty In effect assumes to be
inevitable"

governments. two police forces and
fire departments. separate trade
union federations. and separation
of almost everything else-ope
