We might ask ourselves when 1t
is that a bipartisan conduct OF
foreign affairs is necessary n
workable. The answer, I think, IS:
when almost every n agrees that
the country needs a united foreign
policy though it is not yet settled
lust what the policy ought to be.
For whenever it is necessary to
work out a bipartisan arrange
ment, it is a sure sign that new
decisions are in the making. BIZ
|partisanship is a arrangement by
public-spirited men for dealing
with those critical periods when a
policy is forming but is not yet
formed.
If and when a policy is fully
formed and proved, it ceases to be
bipartisan and becomes national.

Today And Tomorrow
Rv WALTER LIPPMANN

For more than a century, for
example, no one has thought of the
Monroe Doctrine as depending on
bipartisan agreement. The essen
tial principle of the Monroe Doc
trine - that the Western Henri
sphere is closed to imperial
expansion and to Intervention by
non-American powers-has been sc
well settled that either party, any
President, would uphold it and
would have the united support OF
the people when he did uphold it.
1t has been, in this sense, more
than bipartisan; it has been
national.
But it took about thirty years
for the country to reach this point

ARE We One PEOPLE?
BY RUTH TAYLOR

In the past month | have been
travelling through big towns, little
towns and villages. And wherever
| have spoken, have been ask
ed one question - is there diff
ference between the people in the
various sections OF this land of
ours?
If there is, | have not found
it for the one thing which
impressed me most was the unity
of the purpose on basic questions.
The difference lies in the methods
by which that purpose is to be
achieved.
Fundamentally the desires are
the same home, a family,
honest work at fair recompense,
friends and leisure time enough
to enjoy life. But these desires
imply other things as well - a
home safe from fear; family
growing together with common
ideals and aspirations; honest
work at some constructive task,
at recompense that will enable
family to live decently, honestly
and with enough margin to save
for the future; friends who are
free to be loyal and kind; leisure
in which to learn and in which
to take part in community life,
to serve as a citizen for the bet
terment of all.
These are the basic aspirations,
But they require peace and pros
perity to work them out. Not
just peace with the world -
but a peace within our own ranks.
Not a peace of appeasement nor
prosperity of Wild speculation,
but peace based on justice to-
ward all and a prosperity with a
