UN phases (Cont'd)
62 on Austin speech of Mar. 28
51 consider it straightforward and reassuring answer to those who accuse
or suspect the President and his Administration of trying to scuttle
UN; regard it as convincing reply to critics; call it model of
sobriety and restraint.
2 welcome revision of Truman Doctrine policy; claim the President is
fortunate in being able to withdraw from his advanced position through
dispassionate language of our UN delegate. (Richmond News-Leader,
Richmond Times-Dispatch, 3/29)
4 criticize Austin's "muddled afterthoughts" and needless generalities;
call it another big step in junking UN. (NY Daily Worker, Chicago
Sun, 3/21; San Antonio Express, 3/30; Cleveland Plain Dealer, 3/29)
5 are pleased over announcement of speech; say it is belated but will
help to clear the record on many points.
20 claim Russia's veto of Security Council rebuke to Albania for mining of
Corfu Channel proves wisdom of the President in by-passing UN in Greco-
Turk crisis.
33 on Greek phase of proposal.
17 find most of reluctance to aid Greece arises from lack of confidence in
present government; believe spreading tide of Communism can be halted
if aid program is successful.
4 feel Tsaldaris' 5-point plan offers high hopes for solving Greek crisis and
should go far to reduce our fears over wisdom of giving aid.
12 point out fact that Greek problem would be much simpler if Macedonia were
independent country; say a free Macedonia would be satellite of Yugoslavia
and indirectly of Russia.
17 on Turkish phase of proposal.
14 favor aid to her despite any resentment over her war record; consider
country a necessary buffer against Russian expansion; insist Turkish
control of Dardanelles must be retained if peace is to continue.
3
oppose aid; say Russia has legitimate claim to use of Dardanelles; are
against supporting needless Turkish army which should be growing food.
53 on consideration by Congress.
39 on Acheson testimony.
15 are convinced much of present pessimism is premature in view of his
explanation of situation; believe his estimate of risk of war is
shared by most Americans.
3 are not reassured by his testimony; doubt if he can foresee results
of our intervention policy.
11 are not surprised at plan for aid to Korea since that country is the
Greece of Eastern Asia; feel it would be illogical to aid Greece and
Turkey and not resist Communist expansion at other vital points.
7 on Pepper-Taylor plan to give only non-military aid and that through UN.
6 oppose; point out large part of present problem is due to fact past
aid to Greece through UNRRA was manipulated by Communist Tito. (Scripps-
Howard chain, 3/26, 3/27 & 3/29)
1 urges full consideration and favorable action on plan; claims it should
be substituted for Truman-Vandenberg monstrosity" for militarization
of the world. (NY Daily Worker, 3/28)
5 on LaGuardia testimony opposing Truman proposal.
4 warn Congress against following his advice.
1 supports his argument.
