Washington. Jan. Sen. Robert A.Taft of Ohio in h<* campaign for the Republican presidential nomination holds foreign policy to be the chief issue before the voters. ' f His public statements have cited the next most important issues as. "Restoration of government honesty and Integrity.’’ "Progress based on the principles of liberty rather than on the principles of Socialism.” Taft holds that nearly all Amnestic issues, such a* taxes, spend! ig and inflation, are closely related to bask foreign policy. His speeches repeatedly warn against ov-r---(ommitting tbs United Stat>. While generally supporting foreign aid aproprlatTons in principle, Taft usually has voted to reduce the sums involved. Taft would apply identical fundamental policies to Asia Bid Europe. In last yerir’s great delate of Korean and Aelgtlc pollqt, Tass supported Gen. Douglas MiCArthur most of the way but lid not endorse naval blockade of Red China. The senator said he opposed the North Atlantic treaty in tear it would provoke war with the Soviet Union. And he opposed committing the United States to re-arming Europe. He favored a “Monroe ■doctrine" for western Europe. He has stated that with ratification of the North Atlantic treaty, he accepted its obligations, < Here is how Taft stands on some of the other issues: ' United Nations—Regards the UN nbw as a mere “diplomahc weapon.” He would amend <-the UN charter to eliminate the veto and continue in business without the Soviet Union, if neces/ary. National defense— Accepts the stationing of limited Jtround troops in Europe subject tjf congressional approval but, in Jeneral, opposes
