Nebraskan urges ban on arms unless war starts
Senator Wherry of Nebraska proposed a proviso to the Atlantic pact denying arms for Europe unless an actual attack occurs. The debate centers on whether the treaty commits the United States to arm Europe, with supporters and critics split over the pact and the military aid program. Secretary Acheson defended funding as the minimum need for Western Europe, while Dulles signaled skepticism about treaty arms commitments. Taft pressed for a reservation to clarify no obligation to arm Europe.
