Who Speaks For America?
(Seattle Post-Inteligencer)

WHENEVER THIS COUNTRY faces some crisis in foreign policy the excited arculate folks divide up proBritiSh, proRuSSian pro-Chinese ant-British ti-German, and so on down the line.
 The pro-thsers and anti thaers organize committees raise funds, ill big city newspapers with advertise ments, issue thousands of circulars
 But who is pro-Amerca?
 Where the committees and advertisements and circulars that demand that Congress view each question from an American standpoint?
 Who is concerned about America?
 For instance, in this matter of Greece and Turkey the argument pro and to be that whatever ton is taken good bad for Great Britain Soviet Rus sia, Greece, the Arabs and Palestine.
 But will that action be good bad for the United States of America?
 That ought to be the focus of our concern.
 That ought to be the starting point of the debate. When the British press policy upon us, their argu ment is that it will benefit the United States It is that Britain needs help. When Soviet Russia takes stand it is that this attitude will strengthen the United States It is that is done for Soviet Russia
 Nobody talks lone world' but Americans. Perhaps the reason is mixed population of com pex ancestries
 Perhaps it is because so many of professors educated abroad.
 Perhaps it is the Rhodes scholarships.
 Perhaps it is that in public school systems, high schools and colleges, little emphasis is laid American history and American tradition.
 Whatever the cause the focus of interest and is not the welfare and future of the United States
 
 other country.
 The United States now rules 26 million Germans 70 million Japanese and half of the Koreans
 We have assumed the rebuilding of China, Japan and the Philippines, and are about to undertake similar tasks in Germany and Austria
 Present loans and commitments abroad amount to 20 billion dollars and that does not include lend-lease which is written off 40 bion-dollar total loss. We have put up 72 per cent of the of the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration and directly and indirectly perhaps much 90 per cent of the cost of United Nations.
 We are, in this Greek proposal asked to take the British commitments in Greece and Turkey which will lead to taking the rebuilding of Italy, the struggle the Dardanelles the ArabJewsh problem in Pales tine and possibly in the future the protection of the SueZ Canal
 In word inernationalism is forcing this country into imperialism
 How far can the United States go in this direction? How much of the wealth of this nation can be sy- phoned off without impovershng people?
 How much of an empire can we build without being buried under the load of it?
 That is an American question involving the welfare and future of the American people.
