 "Inasmuch as the processes of dis integration and deterioration in in- ternational relations are plainly spreading in many directions, the curative processes must be no less broad in scope and more effective in character"
 Seven Point Program
 He outlined a seven-point pro- gram embodying the essential prin- ciples of United States foreign pol icy. They were:
 l. Economic reconstruction as the foundation of national and international well-being and sta- bility.
 2. Adherence to the basic prin- ciples of international law as the guiding and governing rules of conduct among nations.
 of treaties, including, in connec- tion herewith, modification of provisions of treaties, when and as need therefor arises, by orderly processes.
 4. Voluntary self-restraint, ab- stention from the use of force in pursuit of policy and from inter ference in the internal affairs of other nations and the settlement of differences by processes of peaceful negotiation and agree ment.
 5. We recommend to all na- tions that they be prepared to limit and progressively reduce their armaments.
 6. "Collaboration between and among representatives of the na- tions, and in the best possible in- tellectual interchange between and among their peoples - to the end that thereby understanding by each country of the problems of others and of problems that are common to all may be promoted and peaceful adjustment of con- troversies be made more readily possible.
 '. International cooperation in such ways and by such methods as may be practicable for the ad- vancement of this program.
 London, Aug. 17-(UP)-BritiSh consecutive comment on Secretary of State Cordell Hull's pronounce ment of American diplomatic policy was epitomized today in an editor- ial in the influential Daily Tele- graph, which suggested:
 America would siege one of the great opportunities in history if her statesmen applied themselves reso- lutely to the furtherance of MT. Hull's seven points without the pre- liminary reservation that her onwn cooperation must be without defi- nite commitments.
 That was the rock that first holed the hull of the league of nations. It would be a destructive of the seven pointns as it was of the IA points. (Woodrow Wilson's "A peace points,.
 "Yet, if we take this program point for point there is sufficient in it to which hesitation of Ameri- can foreign policy do not apply and it is in this narrower field that the United States can make a greater contribution to appeasement than any other nation"
 Politely Phrased
 Politely phraSed, that constituted a view held and sometimes express ed in Great Britain and other European countries-that the Uni ted tates is willing and even eager to give advice but that fig the democracies take the advice, and a war breaks out, they have no as- surance that the reply of the United States government will not be to in- yoke neutrality law against them and refuse even to sell them wal munitions.
 This does not mean that intelli- gent Europeans do not understand the reasons for American isolation and do not envy the United States its good fortune in having the At lantic and Pacific oceans as from tiers. As the Telegraph put it, they welcome cooperation which the Uni. ted States can give. Nevertheless European leaders in their considera- tion of policy visualize their cities attacked by enemy airplanes.
 Britain Conservatives British conservatives see many Americans criticzing Prime Minister Neville Chamberlains realistic foreign policy. Yet Britain is com mitted to defend France against at- tack and has practically announced that CD an attack on Czechoslo- vakia would mean a general wal and @ that in any general war Britain would go in on Frances side
 MORAL SCHOOL MASTER
 Berlin, Aug. 17a (UP)-The United States is attempting to play the role of a moral school master to the entire world, political diplo- matic correspondence, mouth piece of the foreign office, said today in critical comment on Secretary of State Cordell Hull's peace pro- nouncement.
 Whoever follows current lines of American foreign policy finds 1t is straying ever further from the fun damental of the highly praised prin- ciple not to mix in the affairs of other nations, particularly the af- fairs of other continents" cor- respondence said.
 "The attempt to play the role of moral school master to the entire world is thereby ever clearer. The high degree of a lack of under standing about origins and develop ments of American things and events cannot be overlooked in
