Seeks Unified Plan.
The peace plan he offers, Culbertson
says, is neither nationalism nor inter-
nationalism, but a synthesis of the two.
Both doctrines" he writes, ARE pa
trlotically inspired Both are indis-
pensable to insure the security of the
United States against future aggres-
sion. The same cleavage between the
two opposing solutions troubles the
minds of millions of individual Ameri-
cans. The wise thing to do, therefore.
is to use both of these weapons for our
defense.
Narrow nationalism is phony ma
tionalism. Brittle alliances Of two or
three dominating powers for the good
OF others, economic alchemy to remove
the immemorial causes Of war in
decade, or appeals for the parliament
OF man are varieties of phony interna-
tionalism. But If we can combine
sound nationalism with sound interna-
tlonalism, We can establish a unified
American foreign policy providing the
maximum of effectiveness and the max
imum of acceptability -r'
ITO the American Nation, unit is
even more important after the war than
during the war. : The only way to
maintain that unity long enough to win
the peace is by establishing a positive
ideal wherein both nationalists and in.
ternationalists will have an equally vital
stake. The nationalists may scof at the
pound-foolishness of the International
lists proposed system of collective de-
tense, but they will be paid of in the
national coin of the American strategic
zone and safeguards of the national
sovereignty. The internationalists may
scorn the -wiseness of the ma
tionalists, but they will be paid of in
the international coin of a world order
that makes sense"
The great dilemma was the con-
tradiction between the necessity of dis
arnling all the states, as far as heavy
weapons were concerned and the i'm
possibility that the leading states would
consent to such disarmament.
Finds Clue in Guard.
ut Is astonishing" Culbertson writes,
with what glib nonchalance -. ex-
perts prattle about an international
police force without realizing its sin
lister implications if it is to be a real
force, or its hopeless futility If it is to
be token force"
The solution finally came to him when
he was thinking about the National
Guards of the States and the Federal
Army.
L remembered" he writes. how
much fear there was. when our Con-
stitution was being established. lest the
Federal Government. with its armed
forces, should encroach upon the free
dom of the States, and how finally each
State kept its own militia under tie
orders OF the Governor in peacetime.
while in time OF war it was incorporated
in the Federal Army. This was the
clue.
The international police could also
oe tWo-way army = But there
would be possibility that some of the
national contingents might be prevented
by their national governments from
joining against an aggressor. A separate
force would be needed to act independ-
emily of the national contingents-simi-
lar to our Federal armed force, but. of
course not proportionately so powerful.
Therefore. in addition to the national
contingents, there would be a special
mobile corps international contingent
made up of regiments of small nations,
which would be at the direct disposal of
the International organization in war
and in peace"
