Prospective Dilemma

Winning the in Europe, which we are assum-
ing is foregone conclusion despite the prospective
long hard road ahead will bring Americans face to
face with many difficult political problems These
problems do not necessarily affect the immediate
economic and social welfare of America itself but
in the long run will have serious influences the
ideologies that pnderlie the political conceptions of
the Republic
whether we like to admit it or not, we
fronted by Europe in which private property has
been destroyed confiscated in wholesale fashion
We doubt that any courts would be able to go back
through the maze of events that have overwhelmed
the occupied countries of Europe and reestabish any
legitimate claims to property that may have existed
in the governments that fell before the tornadoes of
the Naz invasions How these insoluble problems
to be resolved? If sincere believers in democ-
of the countries involved if any be estab-
racy we can only defer the decisions of the peoples
lished for them to register their political wills
These peoples have been subjected to terrific
iconoclastic Influences in the invasion of their home
lands What is to of their old civilized ideals?
They liable to be far divergent from their former
political institutions 1t is inconceivable that America
can force upon them its ideoogies How far
Americans willing to bow to the ideologies that
may be diverse from their own. The soldiers and
sailors are fighting on the far-flung battle fronts
for the preservation of the rights of peoples to
themselves-for democracy, which is in essence the
which the peoples shall live.
What it, in revulsion to the systems that have
will of the majority to determine the state under
brought them nothing but turmoil, trouble and
losses the peoples shall determine to take chance
on some Utopian system of society, is to be the Am
ercan reaction? If America can sell these depressed
peoples the American system all would be well and
good But if they cannot if the red star OF the East
more potent influence, what is to be the reaction
of the American people to the political aspirations OF
the peoples they fought TO make free?
1t is evident that successful American foreign
policy is to demand great deal of forbearance and
tolerance if relations to these delivered peoples
are to be one of economic and political friendship.
