...main Republican argument for postponing the rise is political. (The boost, once scheduled to go into effect in 1943, was postponed after a fight led by the late Senator Arthur Vandenberg.)

...went along with Arthur Vanden-berg's leadership in the Republicans' postwar policy in foreign affairs, Van's so-called "unpartisanship." But Taft had misgivings, which Vandenberg also began to entertain before the end of his career. When the Michigan Senator died of cancer in 1951, Taft began to express himself with vigor on foreign affairs, attacking what he saw as defects and ambiguities in the NATO pact, challenging both the President's right and wisdom in committing large numbers of U.S. troops to Europe, fixing the blame for the Korean attack on the Administration...
