world affairs versus a 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 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?
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 a delusion. Namely, that we
had under the Monroe Doctrine de-
clared our whole policy-America
for Americans (perioO 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. It 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 q 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 q good, old-fashioned free.
for-al 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.

Results of Session

It was some time before the re-
suits of this meeting between Wat
son and his colleagues and Chair
man Spangler of the Republican ma
tional committee leaked out. Those
with an anti-Repubican slant, wove
the words dropped into a threat
ened split in the Republican party, a
drive to nominate Wendell Willkie
for president.
To the person who tried to be OBJ
jective, it was neither.
Mr.. Spangler has one job-to keep
the party together, to eschew any
favoritism for any policy or any per-
son. Naturally, these persistent per-
sons who called upon him were pre-
senting a. problem.

other political footballs, by people
who really don't understand it's 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-
hcans, headed by Deneen Watson,
and whole flying squadron of DEM
>ocrats, too, are insistent that they
be allowed to 'let 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, I"
an agreement by both parties on a
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
park opposite the White House and
presented themselves to Chairman
Spangler of the Republican national
committee.

Definite Foreign Policy
Essential 10 America
The Issue: Shall Nation Adopt Policy of
Participation in World Affairs or Shall
We Aim at NatonaIistic Goal?
By BAUKHAGE
NeUs ANALYST and Commentator.

WNU Service, Union Trust Building
Washington, ID. G.
Today America faces its first real
problem as world power.
Italy lies before us. General Els
enhower, as commander of the AL
lied forces of invasion, suddenly be-
comes statesman. He is a soldier.
He can win battles. Now, he is the
man ultimately responsible for di-
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-Ch Chief.
But who is his COMMANDMENT
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 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 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 a 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 it's 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 to support the admin
istration. Others will vote as they
darn please.
Slavery-really q labor question.
That did nearly wreck the republic
because it was made partisan
issue when it was not an issue at
all! Many of the influential southern
ers were 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 'iso-
lationisn'' was forgotten. Today it

contest that was hello at g Fourth

choppina contest, and there were
two characters in the contest who
attractoe the attenti on # the
writer. One, was & large, powerful
noisy individual, enc the other
rather small: quiet person. When
the contest started the big man
swung his axe with all Of his nj ht
and main, evidently, with the In
tent1 on CT cutting the leg through |
in q few powerful blows, but, he
drove the axe Sc far into the tough
wood, that it was hard to extri ca tel
ano it would require S ome time to

Eventually he oie cut the log in
two and, in fairly good time also. |
The sme Her man started his axe
without undue exert ion, and it
seemed like the less powerful blowsl
WOULD not suffice to enoble him to |
win, but, the axe cut clean, and
there was always a chip flying with
each blow and there were so many
more blows delivered in the same
space Of time that the sma Her man |
won hancily.
It is often the case with the SO |
called "big producer", that he tool
buries his axe SO 6eep in the log

out for the next blow. It probably
