are impressed by the develop
ment of differences between
members of the United Nations
there is little wonder that men,
bers of Congress seek a clear
statement of our foreign policy.
Rather than seeking a statement
of foreign policy it could be said
that these members of Congress
are anxious to
Our know what po-
Foreign sition the United
Policy States is taking
and will have to
assume at the end of hostilities.
There are people who feel
that President Roosevelt and
Secretary Hull are doing an out
standing job in our foreign re-
lations. Then there are men
who contend that the present
Administration lacks authority
to pledge this country to any
long term commitments and, as
a consequence, is unable to meet
British and Russian statesmen
on even terms. The Admins
tration is accused in some quar-
tiers Of lacking definite foreign
policy.
The unfortunate position in
which our State Department
officials find themselves results
almost totally from the uncer-
tainty Of the Presidential cleo
ton this year. Neither the
President nor his Secretary OF
State can commit the country to
definite pledges when nothing is
known of the attitude of Con-
gress. And the attitude of the
congress cannot

Clear proposal is be-
fore it. Should
there be complete coordination
between the executive and legis-
lative branches less of this con-
fusion would exist. But, with
the present temper of the Con-
gress toward the President what
it is and with the election in
November only a few months
away, Messrs. Churchill and
Stain are reluctant to count too
heavily on what cooperation
they might or might not receive
from the great American democ-
racy. They are, indeed, looking
more to the future Of their own
countries regardless of what
attitude America takes.
It Is one of the conditions we
must accept for being the type
of constitutional democracy we
are. 1t is, perhaps, part of a
lesson we are learning from this
world upset. 1t could be one of
the determining factors in this

In Coming to deal on equal

that which our corresponding
contributions to the future just
ly entitle US. The complexion
of the Congress has been grad
ually changing. Ten years ago
President Roosevelt had an
overwhelming majority in both
the Senate and House. These
majorities have been reduced
measurable in both branches. 1t
Is probable that, should he again
be a candidate, President Roose-
