Congress Supports Dulles’s Warning To Europe
(N.Z. Press Association—Copyright) (Rec. 9 p.m.) WASHINGTON, December 15. Republican and Democrat senators today supported the warning by the Secretary of State (Mr Dulles) that if the European Army were not established soon, the United States would be forced into a reappraisal of its own basic policies. Reuter’s diplomatic correspondent said there was an obvious trend in Congressional quarters toward the belief that unless the European Army were created, Congress would severely cut next year’s foreign aid funds.
“Congress should just cut off money to any nation that refuses to co-operate,” said Senator Edwin Johnson (Democrat).
The chairman of the Senate Banking and Currency Committee (Senator Homer Capehart, Republican) said Mr Dulles had made it clear that he shared the Congressional view that every nation in Europe should play its part in mutual defence. “Congress will go along with this statement,” he said.
