Wallace asked how in the light of Mr. Truman's speech, could the Soviet I'nion be expected to consider in good faith "our proposals to the United Nations on atomic: energy?"

"Then the task of keeping the world at peace will lias* lieyond the power of the common people everywhere who want peace." Wallace said the United Nations would be weakened greatly if the I'. S. follows the policy advocated by Mr. Truman. A similar dispute with former secretary of state Byrnes over policy toward Russia caused Wallace's resignation as secretary of commerce last year. Americans agree Wallace said, that the United States should support freedom. "How does support given to undemocratic countries of Greece and Turkey aid the cause of freedom?" he ask<-d. Mr. Truman's policy showed only that no regime "wax too reactionary for
