it 7 i Vandenberg Urges Charter Approval As Step to Peace WASHINGTON, June 29 (UP) Sen. Arthur H. Vandenberg, R., Mich., told the senate today that world chaos is the alternative to the United Natons security secur ity league. Vandenberg, chairman of sen ate republicans and a delegate to the San Francisco conference which drafted the security char ter, made his formal report to the senate in a stirring speech for early ratification. "This can be a new emancipa tion for the world," he declared. He pleaded with charter critics to be realistic in their appraisal of the document in the light of world facts and to give it at least a chance to see whether collec tive security can prevent another world war. ' The one-time isolationist told the senate he will support the treaty with all the resurces at his command. "I shall do. this in the deep conviction that the alternative is physical and moral chaos in many weary places of the earth," . "I shall do it because there must be no default in our oft pledged purpose to outlaw ag gression so far as lies within our human power. I shall do it be cause this 'plan, regardless of in firmities, holds great promise that the United Nations may col laborate for peace as effectively as they had' made common cause for war. "I shall do it because peace must not be, cheated of its only collective change." Vandenberg addressed most of his 5,000-word speech to answer ing possible criticisms of the charter.
