BIPARTISAN U.S. POLICY
ASSURANCE BY MR TRUMAN
REPUBLICANS TO BE CONSULTED
(Rec. 9.10 pjn.) WASHINGTON. April 18. Mr Truman assured Republicans today that they would be kept informed, and their views solicited, in an effort to establish a “true bipartisan foreign policy.” In a statement issued after he had called Senator Styles Bridges, Republican, to the White House for a conference, Mr Truman said: “With the problems facing the United States in the field of foreign relations it is most important that every effort be made to maintain a true bipartisan policy. It will be my purpose, as well as that of the Secretary of State (Mr Acheson) not only to keep members of the minority currently informed, but to solicit their views and take them into serious account in both the formulation and implementation of our foreign policy.” Senator Bridges, a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, said that he had been summoned to the White House as the senior Republican from the point of service in the absence of Senator Arthur Vandenberg, who is ill.
