of the need for similar good will in the
national attitude toward foreign policies
which would help to restore normal con-
ditions abroad. There is plenty of inter
est in measures for foreign relief, but
little enthusiasm for helping to remedy
the economic troubles which make such
relief necessary. As one writer has ex-
pressed it:
Next winter hunger again will be
stalking from the Baltic to the Black
Sea unless organized succor is paralleled
with international economic measures
which will set free the self-sustaining
life of the peoples concerned" OF such
international measures the United States
appears to be peculiarly shy at present.
In part, this timidity and aloofness are
due to shOrt-Sighted leadership. But
partly the leadership has been weak be
cause of popular reaction against ev-
erything foreign which does not have an
immediate human appeal. In the end
if some of the good will which promotes
relief work is not injected into other in
ternational relations, the effect will be
very nearly as disastrous to the Old
World and the New as war itself. 81 -a

 Viewing government from afa-. the average American citizen little realizes how simple it is.

Men who are reallt worth while are simpler than they are appraised, and vastly greater than many partisans have measured them.
