Dulles, architect of the Japa-
tipsa rtpapp trpntv and fnrpitfnl
policy adviser to Gov. Thomas E.
Dewey in his 1948 presidential)
campaign, will try to write in the
500-word limit set for a foreign!
policy plank the following views:!
. -I
1. Present military spending is
excessive, and the nation should
concentrate on the type of mil
itary power within the capacity
of a balanced budget.
2. The U. S. should rely chief
ly on striking power, mainly by
air but also by sea, as a deter
rent to Communist aggression.
3. Avoid the illusion that we
can make Europe impregnable
without regard to Asia.
.
4. Foreign and domestic policy
are inseparable. Dulles believes
it is impossible to have a success
ful foreign policy dedicated to
freedom if at home freedom is
curbed. '
- -
5. Foreign aid should be re
duced and more emphasis put on
quantity of U. S. contributions.
Dulles doubts that he can put
into the 500 words of a 'platform
plank all of his views but is cer
tain the spirit and philosophy of
his principles will get into the
document.
