Majority sentiment continues to be in support of the President's pro-
posal. The few die-hard isolationist or too world-minded papers are again joined
by hard-to-explain opposition in a few other papers. Often criticism is out-
spoken; sometimes it is crafty or by innuendo. At all times this small group
seems to ignore facts or logic. In addition to these pro or con editorials there
are a considerable number which are behind the proposal in principle but express
reasonable doubts as to the scope and degree of aid which should be given.
On consideration by Congress, sizeable groups insist on the lawmakers
and the public being given full facts before decision is made; approve testimony
given the House Committee by Acheson; condemn the Sullivan plea to Reece for bi-
partisan support. Opinion is unanimous in endorsing Sen. Lodge's help.
Sentiment is 4 to 1 in favor of by-passing UN under the circunstances.
The few devoting their attention to Wallace are critical of his position.
The feeling is unanimous that economy-minded Congressmen should not
prevent making our military strength equal to the demands which may be made on it.
