Fulbright Opposed.
Senator Fulbright, Democrat,
of Arkansas, said he does not APP

States does not prevail in object
ing to the meeting of Red China.
Senator Fulbright said that as
of now he would not advocate
the admission of Red China, but
thinks it would be a mistake to
say that for all time the United
States would be against such ad-
mission. He said Senators should

Japan were once enemies but are
now allied with this country. He
said also he does not see why

upon which we have operated

welcomes the necessity of this
reappraisal. It is not an easy

one that must go before any
other consideration.

before us a $3.5 billion foreign
aid bill. It is no secret that many
people have very serious reserva-
tions about this measure" Sena-
tor johnson said.
They want to know the ex-
tent to which this aid will
actually back the legitimate OBJ
jectives Of the United States and
the extent to which it will main
