GOP Criticism Of FDR's Report Muffles Prediction
Republican criticism of President Roosevelt's Yalta report slightly muted today as the Senate appears set to push ahead with international peace plans. Democrats credit his appeal for nonpartisan world security proposals, while Roosevelt, in a wheelchair, urged Congress to share responsibility for a peace built on the Atlantic Charter. He outlined a future Poland and European recognition, and noted impediments from others who want to be heard. He urged Senate approval of the United Nations charter to be formed at San Francisco starting April 25, signaling bipartisan drive toward a postwar order.
