What is perhaps more

the change which recent
events have made in the
fundamental position of
the United States, for that,
in the long run and quite
apart from the temporary
movements of public opin-
ion, is what Is going to
affect its policy.
Opinions in the United

settlement are very similar
to those that one finds in

autocracy, it decided to
free itself once more from
the foreign ENHANCEMENT"
of the League Of Nations
and the peace treaties, and
to leave the rest of the
world to solve its problems
for themselves. It created
in the Neutrality Act what
it hoped would be a water
tight system for preventing
the United States from
being drawn by economic
causes, or the popular
bogeys, foreign propaganda
or Wall Street" finance,
into another war. It would
not take sides in any future
conflict; it would not sell
implements Of war to any
belligerent; and those who
traded with the United
States In time of war would
only be able to do so on the

there is, in fact, no way In

avoid being drawn into the
