Taft says foreign policy not bipartisan since 1848
Sen. Taft of Ohio argues there has been no bipartisan foreign policy since 1848 and criticizes Truman era appointments of Cooper and Dulles. He says the President must consult responsible Republicans in Congress to make policy bipartisan, citing past cooperation with Sen. Vandenberg and noting lack of consultation under Secretary Acheson. The remark follows reports from Florida of Mr. Truman's political activity in 1950.
