ogies reinterpret mans place in the
world, with emphasis on individual
responsibility. He feels that 1.-The

ultimate goal of the state" He feels
that government, the public UNI

In answering this writer's ques.

Dimock gave one of his fugitive

and replied in substance that

lack of appreciation of tested theo-

we're more or less circumstantial re-
ports published that representatives
of this Government had given
assurances" of sorts to the British
government.
Immediately there arose a clatter
in the Senate. It was led then-as
it is now-by Senators Clark of
Missouri, Johnson of California, Nye
of North Dakota and Borah of Idaho
although the last is now away i'll.
The upshot then was denials from
the White House and the State
Department that this Government
had made any commitments to the
British government. The fuss quieted
down In the Senate; the United
States, 1t was proclaimed, was con-
tinuing to follow its traditional pol
icy Of holding aloof from European
squabbles.
Meets Challenge Head On.
Now it is with France, as we'll
as Great Britain, that the admins
tration is charged with having in
volved this country. And, despite
the secrecy attempted, there comes
q report that the President, instead
Of denying any effort to aid these
Democratic nations of Europe, has
informed Senators of the Military
Affairs Committee that he intends to
do just that thing-aid them with
American airplanes and presumably
other war supplies. If this be true,
then the administration is taking a
f1rmer stand than it did year ago;
it has stepped out with a foreign
policy that has not heretofore been
announced-although hinted at.
If a member of the French mission
in this country to purchase military
airplanes fer his government had
not had the misfortune to be in a
new bomber which crashed couple
of weeks ago In Los Angeles-the
Senate and the country would still
in all probability have heard nothing
Of what was going on. But the
Frenchman was discovered when the
bomber cracked up. The Senate
Military Affairs Committee, on the
demand Of Senator Clark of Mis-
souri,, asked "how come? And so
it all started. The administrations s
last move was the dramatic meeting
Of the President with the Military
Affairs Committee at the White
House.
Whether the President said any
such thing or not, the country has
been led to believe that he in effect
told the Senators that it was good
sense for the United States to help
arm France and England; that
France was the American frontier In
the event of another war-presum-
ably against Germany and Italy.
White House Move Awaited.
A new move by the White House
to clarity the atmosphere is expected.
In the first place the Senate is de-
manding full information. Back Of
