Austin Explains
Truman Message
Of Aid
(By John A. Parris, Jr.)
LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y. (/P) —|
Warren R. Austin explained to the
United Nations today that Presi
dent Truman’s plans to help Greece
and Turkey resist totalitarian pres
sure envisage a policy of using the
power of the United States to back
up the principles of the world
charter.
He made it clear, however, that
America respects the right of all
members of the U. N. to follow
whatever way of life or system of
government they choose, so long as
the choice is freely made without
intimidation and so long as such
nations do not interfere with the
rights of other countries or the lib-1
erties of other peoples.
In a speech prepared for the se
curity council this afternoon, the
American representative to U. N.
insisted that the proposed $400,
000,000 aid program for Greece
and Turkey has a specific and di
rect bearing upon the central ob
jectives of U. E. foreign policy.
That policy, Austin said, is “to
strengthen the United Nations and
to advance the building of collec
tive security" under the world or
ganization.
Thus the proposed Greek-Turk
ish aid program would, in fact, he
asserted, “be a most essential act
in support of this policy of the
United States in and toward the
United Nations. As the President
said: ‘In helping free and indepen
dent nations to maintain their
freedom, the United States will be
giving effect to the principles of
the charter of the United Na
tions’.”
Austin declared that aid to the
two countries, together with effec
tive action by the security council
i in the case of the northern Greek
i frontiers, would ‘materially ad
vance the cause of peace.”
Austin’s Speech
Should Bring Reply
LAKE SUCCESS, N.Y. (/P)—'The
possibility arose today that War
| ren R. Austin’s major American
| policy speech in the United Na
tions security council tomorrow
might touch off a bitter wrangle
on an official level with Russia
over President Truman’s plans to
aid Greece and Turkey.
An informed source said the
set-up for the speech certainly
woul<^ not preclude a Russian re
ply, although it might not come
immediately. Some observers be
lieved Russia would use this op
portunity to launch another attack
here against Greece.
One source speculated that any
decision to break Russia’s top-level
silence on the American aid pro
gram, designed to halt the spread
of Communism, would be made in
Moscow only after careful examin
ation of Austin’s statement.
However, this source did not ex
clude the possibility of a Soviet re
ply in the security council, possi
bly after an initial statement is
made in Moscow by the Russian
government.
Moscow newspapers already
have attacked the American plans,
virtually accusing President Tru
man of by-passing the United Na
tions and acting contrary to the
principles of the world charter.

Congress Supports
Disarmament Call
WASHINGTON, </P)—The sug
gestion of Senator Tydings !D.
Md.) that President Truman call
an immediate v/orld disarmament
conference drew both Democrat c
and Republican support.
Senator Pepper (D.-Fla.) said he
long has had such a projec* in
mind himself.
Senator Cooper <R.-Ky.> to1 ]
reporter he “certainly agrees” wit
Tyding’s objective.
Tydings told the Senate in an
hour-long speech that the world
faces a choice of disarmament or
destruction. He said the alterna
tives are equally clear for the
United States:
“The United States must either
keep fully prepared in all categor
ies, including the atomic bomb, or
we must have total disarmament,
including the atomic bomb, for all
nations of the globe, ourselves in
cluded.”
