Our international Difficulties
Nearly $40 Billion We Have Spent in Less Than 10 years

Constantine Brown

Even the wishful thinkers
who firmly believed that by
spending tens Of billions to buy
friendships we could weather
the international storm caused
by the Communists realize to-
day that this country finds
itself in unprecedented inter-
national difficulties.
Our security in the Pacific is
seriously threatened. We ap-
pealed to our British and
French allies in vain to seal
off that area against the
Reds. We were rebuffed.
BY following the 10Th Gen.
tury adage that Britain knows
no friendships. no enmities but
only interests" Prime Minister
Churchill neatly pulled the
rug from under our feet and
preached the free nations

imperialism.
Political men in Washington
were astounded to read the
British Premier's speech Of
last Friday. In addressing
the Primrose League. a Con-
Servative Party organization,
he suggested the establish
ment of links with the q. S.
S. r. which would convince
the Muscovites that the Brit.

who a few years ago invented

ing the opposition - which

The Democratic Party was

The Republican Party is in it
now-and the country.
What has been done per-
haps cannot be undone or at
best only with great difficulty.
1t certainly cannot be undone
as long as Eisenhower-Dulles
policy remains the prisoner of
Republican politics.
The picture that John Fos-
ter Dulles has presented to
the world. in his desperate eff
fort to grasp control of the
Indo-China situation, has been
unfair to an able and expe-
rienced man. He has been
compelled by circumstances to
founder from one untenable
position to another. The cir
cumstances include the un-
willingness or inability Of our
allies to conform to our shift

ness of important persons in
his own party to allow him to
follow the dictates of his in

That our foreign policy has
received the most serious set
back in generations-probably
the worst since we started
playing in the international
big leagues acknowledged
by Republicans and Democrats.
1t is equally accepted as a
fact by Secretary of State
Dulles himself, who is not
to be blamed for what has
happened. His major mistake
was to yield to the French
and British pressure at Ber-
lin and agree to the Geneva
Conference.
But insofar as the overall
responsibility for our greatest
discontinue in history is con-
cerned, the fault lies with the
past administrations which
chose reckless spending of
money and goods as the best
means to establish Americas
position in the world. There
is no doubt that the Re-
publican administration has
followed that pattern because,
as congressional leaders ex-
plain, there was no other
possibility. The minds of the
American people had been

none other.

Secretary Dulles, realizing
the serious turn the situation
has taken in Southeast Asia,
proposed a collective security
treaty for the South Pacific
along the lines of the NATO.
When the answer from Lon
don and Paris was not what he
had the right to expect, he
rushed over to convince our
allies of the necessity for such
a commonvfront. He discovered
that the situation was far more
serious than he had antici-
pated when he met with a
positive refusal from our allies.
SO did the chairman of the
Joint Chiefs of Staff. Admiral
Arthur Radford, who followed
Mr.. Dulles in the French and
British capitals. Admiral Rad
ford spoke about the military
urgency of such an agreement.
He was told very politely that
this was our business and our
business alone. Yet, the British
and the French governments
know that in view of the turn
Of things in Asia the security
of America depends far more
on what is happening across
the Pacific than across the
Atlantic.

Our Secretary of State hav-
ing returned from Geneva,
where some say he achieved a
defeat. others say disaster
and none says a success, the
administration he represents
and the party the administra-
ton represents might find it
timely to pull itself together
and decide where it goes from
here.
The defeat or disaster lies in
the public demonstration that
the situation in Indo-C China is
not ours to control and that
such control as we may have
over the situation in Korea is
very shaky. 1t lies further in
the demonstration that our in
f1uence over our allies is at its
lowest point in recent years
and that our prestige in the
Far East may be reaching the
vanishing point. 1t does seem
time then to reaSSeSS the pol
icies that have brought about
this unhappy state of affairs
and undertake the formu-
lation of policies calculated to
strengthen our influence and
to restore some part of the
prestige to which we may be
rightfully entitled.
This requires the develop
ment of a clear and uneQuiv-
ocal foreign policy to which
the great majority of Amer
leans can subscribe. 1t must
be a non-partisan policy, but
it cannot be that until It has
become a firm, united Repub-
lican policy. 1t has to be a pol
