DAR Deplores Trade and Aid To Red Bloc
The Daughters of the American Revolution urged the United States to stop aid and trade with Communist countries at its 73rd Continental Congress in Constitution Hall. Delegates argued such action finances enemies and harms national security, noting wheat sales to the Soviet Union as an example. An amendment softened the defeat language to possible defeat, while another resolution warned that the US-Soviet treaty to ban underground tests endangers security and opposed general disarmament goals.
