At the rules committee meeting this morning. the gentleman from Illinois. LEo ALLEN. made a statement which I endorse highly. That statement was that political consideration or interpretations of any kind should be eliminated on matters involving critical international problems such as the Asiatic situation. I not only agree with my good friend. Congressman ALLEN. but I would extend the banning of politics concerning all our international problems past. present. and future that has to do with our fight against the terrible scourge of communism. It is indeed unfortunate that the leaders of the Republican Party during the last campaign and for several years. have thrown our Asiatic troubles wholeheartedly into the realms of politics and political campaigns. It is my firm belief that as time passes and millions of people in the free nations of the world become more acquainted with the true facts of communism. our country will have more effective and cooperative allies in combating this tyranny. In the meantime. our Nation must continue to assume the leadership on behalf of millions throughout the world who are helpless to effectively curb the Soviet tyrants.
