Nation Involved in Affairs of
World, Forum Is Told.
LOANS CAUSE INTEREST
Financial Stability of Europe
Matter of Concern.
“We have no ehdfoe—we people of
the United States—whether or not we
flhall plan an important part in world
affairs. It has been decided for us by
fate, and only remains now for us to
decide whether we will play it well or
ill,” said R. G. Gettell. professor of po
litical science at Amherst College, who
is at present teaching at the Univer
sity of California, in addressing the
University Forum in the Y. M. C. A.
hut Monday evening.
That the United States has all things
which make up a world power, and is
now entangled in foreign commerce and
politics, was the conclusion reached by
Professor Getteli after a brief survey of
the history of the foreign policy of the
United States from the days of the
thirteen colonies up to the present.
Drawn Into Foreign Affairs.
The first of the three periods in to
which lie divided this history extended
to the adoption of the Monroe Doctrine
in 1823. and was a time when, according
to Professor Gettell, the people of the
United States were drawn into foreign
affairs against their will because of an
active interest in commerce which was
due to their large merchant marine. “We
thought that there was everything to
lose and nothing to gain by world poli
ties,” he continued. “Wa^ington and
Adams advised against permanent al
liances with Kurope.” A policy of iso
lation was then adopted as a typical
American attitude, and it was this which
was put into operation during the .sec
ond period, which extended to the Span
isli-American war.
During that time the attention of the
people was directed toward internal ex
pansion, and their efforts were devoted
to building up resources and increasing
the territory, explained Professor Get
tell.
Merchant Marine Declines.
The growth in numbers and territory
caused a decline in the strength of the
merchant marine, so the policy for a
time was made easier. But the discovery
of natural resources turned the country
r toward industry, and with this growth
came a change in foreign trade. “We
were drawn into European affairs at
least in a business sense,” said Profes
sor Gettell. “But ns laws and politics
are tied up with business, we were
drawn into world politics."
Separation from Europe then began to
disappear as means of communication in
creased. “Today we occupy n central
strategic position," he said. “We are
already the center of finance and we nre
rapidly becdfhing a center of world
trade.”
During the third, period, which began
at the close of the Spanish-Aineriean
war when the United States acquired
scattered possessions, the whole policy
changed to a colonial policy. As a
country with dependencies, it re-entered
into world polities as n world power tnk
ing a leading part. Professor Gettell ex
plained, asserting that “by lending money
to European countries we have become
interested in their stability and finance.”
U. S. In Conoert of Powers.
Before the European war, what was
called a concert of powers, composed of
England. France, Russia, Austria-Hun
gary, Germany and Italy, settled matters
dealing with the small powers, and no
one of them could become too strong or
the others would unite to subdue her.
“There is now a new concert of powers
and we arc part of it. The United States
has no particular sphere of influence,
and so favors the open door. The rela
tion between the United States and
■lapan is a very serious one.”
Professor Gettell then explained the
condition of the coast-wise trade which
was carried on by .lapan during the re
cent war. and predicted that Japan would
not relinquish this position on the Pacific
without a struggle.
Monroe Doctrine Criticized.
In speaking of tin* attitude of the
South Americans toward the Monroe
Doctrine, Professor (lettell said that it
was at one time popular because it was
regarded as a policy of protection from
the aggressions of Kurope. but that as
I lie T'nited States passed from a weak
nation to a strong one, it beeamV an im
perial, aggressive doctrine and lost its
prestige. “Shall wo abandon this policy
or shall we organize a concert of powers
with leading South American states, or
a Pan-American Union with all the
stateH?’’ he asked.
The effect of an extensive foreign
policy, according to the speaker, is that
the power of the government as a whole
gains at the expense of individual lib
erty. and it is the latter which must be
aafeguarded, he said.

PROF. DUNN SHOWS
WASHINGTON PORTRAITS
(Continued from Page 1.)
is often painted into the feature of the |
great man.
Favorite by Savage
“How I deiight in this one.” said
Professor Dunn, as he threw on the
screen a bust picture of Washington in
uniform, painted by John Savage. The ]
expression is unusually full of kindness. 1
Professor Dunn said he used to see a i
copy of this picture every day while he '
was at Harvard, and suggested that this 1
association might explain his admira- j
tion for it.
Among other unusual and especially
attractive pictures shown was one by j
Rembrandt Peale, son of Charles Wil- |
son Peale, which was made in 1823, many !
years after Washington’s death, and rep- J
resents Rembrandt Peale’s beautiful t
memory of the great man.
This artist had a great ambition to;
paint Washington when lie used to see j
his father making portraits of him. He |
afterward made several portraits, but j
(never succeeded in getting one that en- i
tirely pleased him.
A painter who put much action and !
fire into his portraits of Washington ;
was John Trumbull, who made a num- j
ber of full figure pictures. His por- j
trayal of the face of Washington depicts i
unbounded vigor and spirit.
Wright Appreciated.
Washington, himself, much appreci
ated the work of Joseph Wright. lie
commissioned him to make several por
traits to be used as gifts to the Gene- j
ral’s friends. One of them shows him j
seated with the plans of the new city of !
Washington in his hands.
This incident is told of the last por
trait of Washington, made by Peale. in
1705. At the same time that Peale yas
painting, three other members of the .
Peale family were also taking advantage
of the sittings. Still another relative I
met Martha Washington on the street
anti said. “You had better hurry home:
.they are ‘peeling’ your husband on the
right and left, and from behind and be
fore.”
Those present at the informal talk by
Professor Dunn expressed themselves as
having received a new conception of*
Washington from the many different por
traits shown.
