"It's your move, Mr. President." So spoke Joe Ball, ablest young Republican internationalist, Senator from Minnesota, the Bi of the B2H2 group in the Senate.*

Looking squarely at the White House, and speaking squarely about foreign policy, Senator Ball bluntly demanded in the Saturday Evening Post: "Let the Congress know what is going on" -or this peace will be botched.

The President also heard, and at close range, from an even more potent voice: the Federal Council of Churches. Long ago the Federal Council had laid down its own basic propositions ("Six Pillars") for a "just and durable peace." Now, this late in the war, churchmen had grave doubts whether such a peace was in prospect. These doubts were solemnly stated to the President last week by: the ranking Episcopal bishop, Henry St. George Tucker; a prominent Methodist, Bishop G. Bromley Oxnam; and John Foster Dulles, international lawyer. After 40 minutes facing

'up to the President, they emerged, said only that he was "sympathetic."

And from still another source came a big hint that it was high time the President revealed more of what has been decided. Old (78) Arthur Capper, Senator from Kansas since 1918, is famed as the original Congressman who could keep both ears on the ground at once. Always a litmus-paper test of public opinion, Senator Capper now said, in a tone of irritation rare with him: "Let us have some more information -truth if you want to call it that about what was agreed on at Moscow and Teheran."

*Senators Ball, Burton, Hatch and Hill were so dubbed, to give a short name to their Senate resolution that the U.S. participate in an international organization.
