IN PEACE SETUP

Senator Willis Hints at Stalin Refusal to

Commit Troops.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 11 (U.P). ~The question of committing America to full participation in a

world peace organization might be made largely academic by Russia's refusal to join it, Senator Raymond E. Willis (R, Ind.), declared today. Consequently, he .suggested, the whole issue might be “a moot question” by the time the senate is called upon to begin considering the world organization treaty, Senator Willis sald Russian acceptance of the plan outlined at Dumbarton Oaks might snag on exactly the same point which American opponents of the plan have chosen for their attack—the provision that each nation contribute a specific quota of troops to be used in any way the organization directs in maintaing peace,

Doubts Stalin Acceptance

“I don't believe Stalin will accept any limitation on where Russian soldiers are to be sent,” Senator Willis said, “so neither will we. Congress will not have to go any farther with the plan than Stalin goes. The extent of our co-opera-tion will probably be limited by the extent to which others co-operate.” Senator Willis said that while he personally would favor “limited authority” for the American delegate to call on American troops to help keep peace, the limitations would have to be very glosely examined by congress before fit granted them. America’s best foreign policy in the future, Senator Willis said, would be to “prepare and co-oper-ate”—that is, to join with other nations in working out the problems of the world but to avoid giving a blank check to the President or ‘his delegate to act in the affairs of a peace organization.
