Because OF mediocre men and lack
of firm policy, much Of Mr.. Roose-
velt's preliminary work was de-
stroyed. So much for the beginning
Mr.. Welles then surveys success
sively the situations in postwar
Europe, Latin America, the Near
East and the Far East. In every
theater he finds us continuing to
SOW the wind in spite Of an already
dangerous harvest of whirlwind.
The treaty making has been dis
gracefully slow, in his view, and the
treaties which have been submitted
are in violation of the stated OBJ
jectives of the war. All of Latin
America has been stirred by the
"antics" of our representatives at
San Francisco over the admission
of Argentina and the good-neigh-
Dor policy, so carefully fostered for
SO long, has been grayely endanger-
ed. The dispute over Iran with
Russia has shown the world that

lowed ourselves to be crowded into
an ambiguous position. Fear and
despair are resulting everywhere
Outlining the why and wherefore
of these catastrophes with the dis
passion of scientist viewing an
amoeba through a microscope, Mr.
Welles divides the responsibility
about equally between ourselves and
Russia. We are to blame, he says,
because we have had no experienced,
competent and strong leadership
since Mr.. Roosevelt died. We have
had good, even idealistic, intentions
but no men to carry them out.
Russia is to blame because, having
strong leadership, she had taken
advantage of our good intentions
to put into action her own narrow
and nationalistic ones. An isola-
ZIONIST power, reactionary in reviv-
ing imperialism, she has overridden
the international and anti-im-
perialist aims of the United States.
What lies ahead, Mr.. Welles does
not say. The great part of his book
