Mansfield Hits
Pace on
Foreign Policy

Senator Mansfield, Democrat
Of Montana, charged today that
In three years the Eisenhower
administration has failed to-
come up with zone major new
approach" in foreign policy.
For that reason, he told the
Senate, the current review Of
foreign policy touched OF by the
Life Magazine article on Secre-
tary Of State Dulles is long past
due.
Senator Mansfield. a member
of the Foreign Relations Com
mittee. said this Government
has drifted along on the policies
devised during the preceding
Democratic administrations. in
GLIDING the Marshall Plan for
economic aid. military contain
ment in Western Europe and
Point -Four.
Notes Changing Condition
He said these policies were
adopted with the help Of Re-
Ipublicans like Secretary Dulles
and were effective when estab-
lished. But he argued that world
conditions have changed.
What we need. what the
American people need, Is O clear
cut, honest understanding of the
actual situations which confront
US in various parts Of the world
and the policies which we are
pursuing in dealing with them, :"
said the Senator. I'VE need to
determine. the American people
need to know. whether these
policies are indeed the most
| effective available to US.
Senator Mansfield argued that
the Senate has q definite func-
ton to perform along with the
executive branch In advising on
foreign affairs and said that II
the Republican administration
acts with o sense Of responsible
lily In this election year the
Democratic Congress will do the
same.
Cast Doubt on Leaders
He charged. however, that in
the past month several incidents
! have occurred which throw doubt
on the capacity Of the admins
ltration to operate with q sense
lof responsibility.
| He said congressional leaders
at the White House Conference
in December were not told the
whole story on the increase the
administration intended to seek
| in foreign aid funds. Then came
the Life story which extols the
achievements Of q Republican
administration in foreign policy
in partisan publication in an
election year." the Senator added.
These incidents are examples

Of responsibility In foreign rela-
tions," said Senator Mansfield.
