Continued From First Page.)

|reSentatlve Jav1tS, Republican, OF
New York. Mr.. Javits voiced ap-
|prehension that possible truce
in Korea might cause slacken-
ing of defense efforts in the
United States.
Mr.. Acheson replied that such
a truce. if obtained would not
lessen the need for the proposed
foreign aid program and the
United States defense measures.
"The need continues just as
great, or perhaps even greater,
to assist friendly nations and in
building up our defenses to make
the temptation to further aggres-
sion most unattractive," he said.
He warned that even in event
OF a settlement in Korea, there
would be a continuing danger. !"
He said he agreed with Mr.. Javits
that the United States defense
potential would have to be at
least on a par with that of Soviet
Russia to assure any permanent
solution in Korea and prevent any
further outbreaks.
At the start of today's hearing,
Mr.. Acheson took the opportunity
to distinguish between policy and
negotiation in this Governments
efforts toward world peace. He
explained that in negotiating with
another country, the United States
does not automatically give up its
fundamental policies. He noted
that one basic principle in United
States policy is to settle problems
by peaceful negotiation instead of
by force. But in undertaking ne
gotiations. he said, that does not
mean we abandon positions we be-
lieve to be vital to the welfare of
the United States"
