Connally Urges Focus on Korea Before Sending More Troops to Germany
Senate Foreign Relations Chairman Connally said the United States should not send additional troops to western Europe until Korea is won. Other senators backed Truman’s plan for substantial European reinforcements if allied nations match with larger armies. Acheson, Bevin, and Schuman will outline a joint defense program in New York, with discussions possibly supporting a unified western European army and limited German divisions. Military briefings suggest a goal of about 10 divisions by next year, while U.S. forces in western Germany total around 75 000. Connally emphasized prioritizing Korea, hoping Europe moves forward after the Korean War ends. Senators Sparkman Kerr pressed for German rearmament and concrete plans for Western Europe.
