AU Sees No Pending Measure so Stiff
As to Deny Issei Social Security Benefits

WASHINGTON D c., Feb 8
(JACL)-In response to a number
of requests from Issei in the United
States and in japan regarding pro-
posed social security legislation at
fecting payments abroad the Wa
shington office of the japanese A
merican Citizens League has inves-
tigated all pending social security
legislation None of the pending
legislation is so sweeping as to de-
prive most Issei in Japan from their
rightiully earned social security be-
nefits as many had feared accord

MasaOka said that the only bill
now pending which would change
overseas payments under the socia,

At quarter to six, after the rest of the Office

A straight flight from Hang

bers Of the cabinet were reported
thinking seriously of resigning
because Of the Premier's tactics,
though they deferred action over
night.
The rejection of EDO resulted
from a union of far right and
far left. The bulk of the vote
to kill the treaty came from the
ultra-Nationalist supporters of
Gen. Charles de Gaulle and SO
Communists and fellow travellers.
Moderate groups were the chief
supporters of the treaty.
Within hours after the vote,
Socialist leaders expelled former
cabinet Ministers Jules Moch,
Daniel Mayer and Max Iejeune
because they had led the fight
against EDO even after a ma
tional party conference had IN
dorsed the plan.
The uproar in the Assembly
which followed announcement of
the vote symbolized the deep
divisions caused by the long con-
troversy.
French editors ranged from

comments.

man said that talks would be
arranged Immediately to give
Germany her independence,
which up to now has been de-
pendent on creation Of the Eu-
ropean army.
French Premier Pierre Mendes-
France already has said he would
go along with the speedy resto-
ration of sovereignty to West
Germany. but he has emphasized
this does not include rearma-
ment.
Canadian officials in Ottawa
said the only logical answer to
the Western dilemma was to
bring West Germany into NATO.
In Rome Italian Vice Premier
Giuseppe Saragat called on the
Western democratic nations to
renew their efforts to reweld
their solidarity in order to build
an efficient community for peace
and defense" Italy had been
expected to approve EDO this
fall.
Adenaaer Rule Threatened.
The French action posed a
new threat to West German
Chancellor Konrad Adenauer's
government, which had banked
heavily on EDO for independence
which the German people have
been demanding.
Mr.. Adenauer's chief opponent,
Socialist Leader Erich Ollen-
hauer, was quick to assert that
the French vote meant Mr.. Ade-
nauer's policy had failed. The
opposition chief called for the
Western Allies to meet at once
with the Soviets to consider Ger
man Identification and European
security.
Mr.. ndes-France said there
were many possible ways of re-
arming West Germany and he
would seek with his Western Al
lies to find one.
Among the deputies who have
voted for and those who have
voted against, there is a major
ity favoring continued reinforce
ment Of the Atlantic pact and of
our ties with the Western Allies"
he told newsmen, adding:
1T is within this framework
that a new solution should be
studied rapidly, and hope this
time we will not lose three
years."
Mr.. Mendes-France's failure
to oppose the resolution cutting
off debate after only the oppo-
nents had spoken provoked q
core of bitter foes with whom
he will have to deal in future
legislative efforts.
The angriest perhaps was for
mer Premier Paul Reynaud, who
fought his way to the tribune
during the post-vote tumult to
dencunce the throttling Of the
debate.
For the first time in the his
tory of the French Parliament"
he shouted, "a treaty has been
rejected without giving the au-
thor and signer of the treaty
a chance to speak," He re-
ferred to Robert Schuman, for

Premier.

to be safe is a united approach
to the problem of security and
defense. Now. this does not mean
that we expect every nation,
every friend to agree with us,
no more than any one family
Is always in perfect agreement.
We do not expect always to
agree with them. because this
is a characteristic Of free life;
a free family. free city. free
state, free world, has its argu-
mentS. But we adhere to basic
principles.
America Is strong because we
believe In the dignity of man.
We believe In the federated prin-
ciple Of the 48 States. We believe
IN free enterprise. We are strong
because we believe in basic
things, and then we argue with
all our might about the details
and about the methods. It is in
that sense that the free world
must be strong.
Ladies and gentlemen, that Is
the reason that every American
has the duty. the duty to him
self and to his country, to study
these other nations, their cul-
ture. their history, their aspira-
lions, their fears, their hopes.
In this great field there can be
no such thing in America as
partisanship. There can be moth
ing except an American attitude,
an attitude that preserves con-
tinuity, because 1T represents the
hearts and minds Of the Ameri-
can people. Let us not speak OF
hatreds.
Unity Urged.
And now, ladies and gentle
men, I find in talking to many
Americans, on an individual
basis. that they say to me, Eyes,
I know that this job of foreign
relations is probably the most
important thing facing this great
country. We want no more war.
We are thankful to our God that
after all these 20 years at least
the sounds of the battlefield are
still everywhere. We don't want
to send our sons to war, our
brothers, our husbands, but what
can do? I say grasp enough of
this problem that you know the
basic principles to which you are
adhering, that freedom cannot
be divided, if we will be free
ourselves we must be ready to
help defend the freedom Of those
who want to remain free. It is
not divisible. We must be united.
Remind yourselves of the
strength Of America. Think of
her spiritual strength that we
have inherited, not only from
our parents at their knees as we
said our prayers, but we inherited
from our founding fathers the
system they gave to us. Remem-
Der our schools, our industries,
our productivity, the great
strength that 100 million people
can generate.
When we have our setbacks
we are disappointed, but we
must not be discouraged. Amer
lea has never quit in something
that was good for herself and
the world. We will not quit now.
We shall never do so.
In this atomic age we have
tried our best to share with all
the world certain Of the secrets
that we thought in such sharing
would bring to all the world an
understanding that this new
science can be devoted to the
good Of the world swell as to
the destruction of humanity. In
this, as in all other things. we
cannot, We must not admit de-
feat. In this new age the thing
we must hold before us is this:

was reported ready to go ahead
with a previously drafted plan
for giving Western Germany
complete sovereignty in the
Western zone-except for the
right to rearm. This problem
would be tackled in any new
substitute for EDO which might
be devised later.

Dulles 10 Depart
For Manila Tonight,
Gloomy Over edo
By John ScoIi
Associated Press Sfuff Writer

Secretary Of State Dulles, OBJ
viously concerned over Europe's
new defense crisis, arranged to
leave tonight for Manila to wind
UP negotiation for an eight-na-
ton Southeast Asia defense al
lance.
Frances death blow to the
long-cherished European army
project cast a mantle of gloom
over his Far Eastern trip.
Before his departure, the Sec
rotary was expected to comment
on the French Assembly vote
yesterday which scuttled the six
nation European Defense Com
munity 81 months after it was
conceived by a Frenchman main
ly as a device to rearm Germany.
Sees Major Setback.
!. President Eisenhower, in a talk
at Des Moines last night, termed
the French action a major set
back" in the fight against world
communism.
Senator Mcclellan, Demo-
crat, of Arkansas called the
French Parliament's action "a
serious blow" and said that dis
appointing is too mild a word"
to describe his reaction. Sena-
tor Symington, Democrat. Of
Missouri termed it a tragic de-
feat" in efforts to strengthen
the free world, and he added:
ut will be interesting for the
administration to tell us now
what are, or will be, the military
plans of NATO."
Top aides said Mr.. Dulles be-
lieves collapse of the European
Army makes a united defense
against communism in South
east Asia even more important.
Climaxes Campaign.
The eight-nation conference
he is to attend was set up nearly
a month ago as a climax to Mr..
Dulles campaign to prevent Red
aggression in Indo-C China from
splitting over into neighboring
areas. A formal treaty which
would seek to meet the, Red
military threat, as well as the
menace of subversion. has been
drafted in diplomatic exchanges.
Repeatedly, only minor points
remain to be worked out at the
foreign ministers meeting OPEN
ing next Monday.
Founding member countries
would be the United States, Brit
ain, France, the Philippines,
Thailand, Australia, New zea-
land and Pakistan. But the al
lance would be open to any
additional nation in the region
which might want to join later.
The State Department has ar
ranged to keep Mr.. Dulles in
close contact with all European
defense developments during his
stay in Manila and possible side
trips to Japan and F'ormosa.
New Conference Seen.
Western European experts
acknowledged a possibility that
either Mr.. Dulles or a top as
siStant might have to attend
another international conference
In October. This has been re-
ported being urged by Belgium
and Holland as a means of find
ing a substitute to the Inflated
European army plan.
Any such conference would
have to be proposed by the
Europeans, American officials
stressed. The Eisenhower admin
istration plans to take no initia-
tive to draft a new plan.
ABOUT the only thing certain
in American reaction to the
