GOP Foreign Policy Plank In Making
A draft foreign policy plank for the Republican platform proposes an international peace forces concept to deter or repel aggression. The plan, approved by the foreign relations subcommittee, calls for civilian noninterference in wartime prosecution and phased U.S. participation in postwar cooperative bodies without a world state. Senator Vandenberg predicts early approval amid dueling support for Dewey and Bricker ahead of the convention.
