Mansfield faces decision on Senate ratification of Moscow treaty
Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield negotiates whether to seek ratification of the controversial consular treaty with the Soviet Union as Congress reconvenes. Opposition within the Foreign Relations Committee and from Senators Lausche and Dodd weighs against moving forward. The pact would allow Soviet consulates in U.S. cities in exchange for U.S. offices in Soviet cities, with immunity provisions fueling criticism. Johnson says the treaty would ease East‑West tensions, but skeptics warn of propaganda and subversion risks. Dodd predicts the Senate would not approve, urging caution over a divisive debate.
