careful moves of a chesS-player,
Litter in turn revoked repara-
lions, rearmed his empire and de-
stroycd the LOcarno pact.
Russia, which the United States
recognized in the hope of build
ing up a profitable trade and hav-
ing an ally against Japan in the
event of war, declined to settle Its
obligtiOns.
As a result, large part of the
American embassy in Moscow was
withdrawn-the naval attache, the
attache for aviation, the counsel
lor and the first secretary.
America recognized the Soviet
Union in the fall of 1888 after
some - years Of diplomatic non
intercourse. At the time, Mos
cows relations with Tokyo were
extremely tense. Eventually the
two CAPITALS agreed upon a price
for the Chinese Eastern railroad,
owned jointly by Russia and
China. On that occasion an o.
fetal Of the American embassy IN
Moscow remarked to the writer:
"Thcre goes our debt agree

Meanwhile: America and Great
Britain. after a long period OF
rivalry on the sea, settled Their
quarrel at London in 1880 and
aware of their common interests
in the Far East, began to coop

All these Developments have
profoundly changed American
foreign policy during the last five
years. :,
They have evolved a spirit Of
EARNED isolation" here. They
have resulted in the building of
bigger army and navy. They have
killed what one famous writer has
called the missionary spirit" in
American foreign policy.

Roosevelt's administration, Amer
lean foreign policy might have
been summarized thus:

5. There is little belief that war
debts will be collected. The most
that Washington hopes for is a
small fraction of Europe's obliga-
tionS.
These changes have brought
about the policy of armed isola-
ton" that the United States is
pursuing today. They are respon-
sible for the present increases IN
the American army and navy.
But along with preparedness on
land, sea and in the air, Secretary
of State Cordell Hull is attempt
ing to develop peaceful relations
with other countries.
In the interest of peace, the
United States virtually has re-
nounced its ancient belief that
American ships should sail where
they please and carry what they
please-save munitions-in time
of war. Under the recent neu-
trality act, first tested in the

In summary, it appears to OBJ
servers here that after Is years
of active participation in world
affairs the United States is with
drawing into its own borders. See
ing possibilities of destructive
wars abroad, it is counting it's own
dead on the fields of former bat
ties and trying to see that their
