Mr. Vandenberg's Speech Senator Avthur Vanclenberg, Republican and pyc-wav isolationist, helped launch the'Senate's foreign policy debate with a speech that merits the attention and admiration of nil friends of international postwar pence.

He was specific. He proposed an immediate treaty among the leading powers to demilitarize Germany and Japan permanently. This, he suggested, would remove the fear of Axis militarism and the doubt of eventual American cooperation which apparently a re driving Britain and Russia toward a course of unilateral and bilnterial agreements, and power politics. He was practical. He proposed to allow the President prompt authorization of force to carry out the treaty.

He also proposed eventual functions of the Dumbarton Oaks plan calculated to cancel some foreseeable objections by "perfectionist" colleagues in the Senate. And, as an influential Republican, he charted a course of unity and action for his party. His program is one of positive accomplishment, noi negative opposition. It promises a willing, constructive partnership by the Senate minority in the great and fateful work 'ahead. In short, Mr.

The Negro butler had spent an hour or two polishing the silverware, then she i had him clean all the lamps and 1 fill them afresh with sperm oil.
