President Conant took issue with General MacArthur and also came out against rearming Germany in a speech in Chicago yesterday.
"General MacArthur is prepared to have the United States go it alone in the Far East," Conant said, and this "would make impossible the unity required in the extremely difficult matter of rearming Europe." He said he disagrees strongly with General MacArthur's policy.
Technological superiority, Conant said, will permit the Atlantic Treaty armies to face the Soviet bloc "on equal terms without calling on, Germany to rearm." He spoke of the eventual possibility of atomic weapons supporting ground forces.
Conant summed up his views, saying "Europe must be defended. Europe can not be adequately defended except by united action; this united action must be applicable not only in Europe but in the east; France, Great Britain, and the United States must hammer out a 20th century policy which will yield wise political, economics and military decisions as to every critical area on the entire globe."
