Today America faces its first real
problem as a world power.
Italy lies before us. General Els
enhower, as commander of the AL
lied forces of invasion, suddenly be-
comes a statesman. He is soldier.
He can win battles. Now, he is the
man ultimately responsible for d.
recting American world policy.
What is American world policy?
Eisenhower is firm in his deci-
sions, certain in his own procedure.
because he is responsible only to
his Commander-in-Chief.
But who is his COMMANDMENTS
Chief? Roosevelt. A man who may
suddenly leave the scene in the
midst Of battle, If the American pub
lie so DEGREES.
And then? Has America any firm
foreign policy. unfettered by parti-
san political restriction, a clear
marked path that fighting man or
any other man can follow?
In few short weeks from now, a
group of busy, hard-pressed men are
going to sit down on Mackinac is
land and try to write what Ameri-
can foreign policy they think ought
to be sponsored by the Republican
party.
These men have to face the ques-
ton of committing the Republican
party to a definite foreign policy.
And paradoxically, by committing
their party to a definite foreign poll
cy, they may free both political par
ties of all commitment on foreign
policy. For if the Democrats frame
similar resolutions, they can save
America from a vicious split-one
which, if it is not avoided, will crash
party lines and can destroy the two
party system, the rock Of our de-
mocracy.
The issue which America faces is
simple: shall we, as nation, under
write policy which will implement
our participation in world affairs or
shall we retire unto ourselves and
pursue the nationalistic policy which
says in effect: let the rest of the
world stew in its own juice?
Until we took the Philippines,
America was able to leave the great
and vital problems which should
have no political tinge, outside par
tisan politics. We have had other
problems which have remained es-
sentially non-partisan.
The Problems
Take labor. A vital question. But
has labor ever voted solidly for one
ticket or the other? No. The ALL
will cast its traditional Republican
votes in the coming election as it al
ways has. Some of the CLIO men,
bers will vote 10 support the admin

Slavery-really a labor question
That did nearly wreck the republic
becausenit was made a partisan
issue when it was not an issue at
ALL Many of the influential southern
ers we're just as ready to free their
slaves as the rabid abolitionists,
heated with emotional fervor, failing
to grasp the economic significance,
were to force them to.
Again, unless a cold, calm discus
sion and understanding of the ques-
ton of foreign policy takes place,
we may face another split which.
although it need not mean civil war,
may mean a horrid dislocation of
our whole political system.
When we went into World War II
after Pearl Harbor, the word ESQ
lationism" was forgotten. Today it
has come back into our vocabula-
ries and is being batted about. like
other political footballs, by people
who really don't understand its i'm.
plications and are woefully ignorant
of what dissension it may cause.
Politicians want to overlook it.
They can't. This group of Repub-
licans, headed by Deneen Walton,
and whole flying squadron of Dem.
ocrats, too, are insistent that they
be allowed to '1et the people know"
They are going to speak their
pieces. And the only hope of lifting
this discussion out of partisan poll
tics is settlement out of court
an agreement by both parties on
single foreign policy.
Let's get back to that hot and per-
spring day in Washington late last
month when Deneen Watson and
his colleagues from this self-appoint-
ed Republican organization. the Re-
publican foreign policy associa-
tion," walked across quiet Lafayette

tina. / ra lat his critics
said that indicated tEere was lean
ing toward the status quo" atti-
tude, the desire to remain a pur-
veyor of platitudes and follow the
tide rather than to face it.
This issue-full participation in
world affairs versus return to ma
tionalism or isolationism, if you will
lis, according to our most earnest
non-partisans. the most important
issue which has faced the public and
should not be a political football.
Briefly, what the men with their
sleeves rolled up at Mackinac in
September have to face is this:
shall we, good Republicans, come
out frankly for world-co-operation or
dodge the issue?
What the Watson association de-
mands is more than that and some
thing the Republican national COM
mittee must face: will the party off,
cially get behind nationwide cam
paign to educate" the people on
the International issue?
Unfortunately, personalities do get
mixed up in these things and Wen
dell Willkie has become the symbol
of the international view.
That is why it is essential, if the
party is to take the issue out of
partisan politics and disassociate it
from any of the individuals aspiring
for the Republican candidacy, that
they must go on record.
The Monroe Doctrine
Walter Lippmann has written a
book called American Foreign Pol
icy" and the point he makes is this:
until 1900. politics did stop at the
waters edge. We had a foreign
policy Cor thought we did which
was the Monroe Doctrine Accord
ing to Lippmann, we were living
under delusion. Namely. that we
had under the Monroe Doctrine de-
clared our whole policy-America
for Americans (period) which i'm
piled. of course, that the rest of the
world could do what it pleased so
long as it kept off our grass.
We believed that we could en-
force that policy ourselves. That
was not correct. We were really
depending on the British fleet to en-
force it. 1t happened to be to Brit
ish advantage to agree, so there
was no trouble.
Then we mixed in world affairs,
found we had to fight our own bat
ties, and did it--took over Hawaii,
the Philippines. But we didn't pro-
vide the means to hold them. And
so, disagreeing on the various steps
necessary to carry out our foreign
policy, we failed to provide the
means to do so-Britain was busy
elsewhere. and one morning we lost
the Philippines and came within an
eyelash of losing Hawaii.
And so we now face the necessity
of framing a new foreign policy
which must include the willingness
to provide security for our own
shores and those other contiguous
shores (South America and Canada)
which might be used by an enemy
against us. Or we have to take
part in prophylactic measures-to
stop the danger to our security in
advance.
That issue once clarified by the
two political parties will leave us
free for good, old-fashioned free
for-all political campaign, and if the
best man wins, or the worst man
wins, his policies can't affect the
International welfare Of the nation.
Failure Of both parties to clearly
set forth their views on foreign poll
cy may well create a third party
movement which could wreck the
two-party system, the rock on which
our Republic Is founded.

LOGAN, MILVAE AND BENTON AWARDED MEDALS FOR SPECTACULAR SERVICES
Play Prominent Parts In Allied Offensive of Mediterranean Sector

Two new names have been added within the month to the growing list of Bloomfield warriors being decorated for spectacular service in the great battle abroad. They are Lieutenant Harry R. Logan ard Andrew (Doc) Fenton. Ap- bearing on the list for the second time is Corporal John w. Milvae.
 For his aid in the defeat of the Axis in Tunisia, Lieutenant Logan, son of MT. and Mrs. Harry R. Logan, ST., Hubbard Street, has Teen decorated three times, accord ing to his advice to his parents.
 Milvae's new medal, his second, is the Silver Star. Fenton has been awarded the Purple Heart.
 In communication to his father, Lieutenant Logan lists his air ex- ploits in Tunisia and over the Sic ilian Straits but gives no direct clue to the feats for which he was decorated.
 Since the conquest of Tunisia, Logan has been piloting one of the bombers which softened up Sicily for the current invasion. He re- gently received world wide ap- plause for bringing his ship "Jean- cite" back to it's African base with it's left elevator and part of it's left rudder shot away after it's last raiding mission over Sicily.
 Lieutenant Logan received his wings and commission at Moody Field, Ga., in August 1942. He went to England and the follow ing month and three months later was sent to North Africa.
 Corporal Milvae's Silver Star was earned by his heroic resuce of four comrads trapped under enemy fire. In volunteering to attempt the rescue task he inspired his commanding lieutenant to help. Milvae received the Purple Heart for injuries received in a tank en- gagement May eighth. He is now at Hallorean General Hospital, Staten Island, NY. for treatment of his wounds and has been visited by his parents, MT. and Mrs. John Milvae, 56 Darby Street.
 All that is known of the Purple Heart awarded to Andy Fenton comes in a letter addressed to his mother by an Assistant Field Di- rector of the American Red Cross which states, At the request of your son Andrew, we are mailing to you the Purple Heart which he has recently had the honor to re- ceive. We congratulate you, too, as this is shared Honor"
