While the WSB approved the pro-

it had any binding effect on the

One informed official said the
next move would be up to the

If the companies should refuse

are hypnotized by it when in con-
sidering American policy, we re-

whether we are appeasing or re-

It is fashionable at the moment
to put the issue in this simple

No sound and effective American

who let their judgment be hypno-

choose between yielding to the
Russians in all these disputed mat

the line. That will lead only to
squandering our influence in empty

to, our ENHANCEMENT in a conflict
which it is . easier to get drawn

For what is being proposed is,
as matter Of fact, that the United
States resist the Soviet expansion,
that it stop "appeasing" the Rus
slams, by underwriting every one

times called being tough with
Russia. It would certainly be tough
on the United States. For it would
commit and entangle us in China,

of the expanding Russian power.
But the problem-to which Ameri-
can policy has to be directed-is
not merely the expansion Of the
Russian power. 1t is at the same
time the contra ction of the British
power, the weakness of Europe, and
the weakness of China. If it were
not for the internal weakness of the
British Empire, of western Europe,
and of China, the limits Of the Rus
sian expansion would be obviously
fixed and readily maintained.
That is what is usually forgotten
by those who want the United
States to get tough and stop ZAP
peasing" the Russians. But if we
wish to think responsibly about our
own interests and obligations, we
cannot forget it. For the real prob.
lem is not how toughly we are pre-.
pared to talk against the Russians
but what we are able to do for the
Chinese, the British, and the west
ern Europeans, whose internal
weakness has created the problem.
1t would be very amateurish in.
deed, and dangerously irrespons-
ible, to talk as if this weakness
could be corrected by an infusion
Of American military and economic
power.
My own view is that only by
taking an independent line can we
hope to exert effective influence.
For that reason l believe we should
instruct our new ambassador to
Moscow to explain to the Kremlin
that the settlement of the war in
Europe must not be prevented by
their upsetting the balance OF
power in the Mediterranean AS
evidence that we mean this I am
in favor of reconstituting an Amer
lean Mediterranean fleet. Then we
can negotiate a new arrangement
to replace the obsolete condition
of the Dardanelles, an arrange

a central European, not as an

settlement which does justice to
Greece.

MIR. Truman pulled Krug out of

Krug had served as head of the

deputy director general before he
was commissioned a lieutenant
commander in the Navy early IN
1914.
