His subject will be “Russia and the International Situation.” Globally Speaking (Continued from page txvo) Our foreign policy has veered like the commie party line since 1789. In the early days of the re public our future as a sovereign state depended upon the adroitness of our diplomacy. Washington Misunderstood Washington’s farewell address is the most misunderstood state pa per in our history. His plea against entangling alliances was not di rected against ties with other pow ers, but against the perpetual alli ance with France that threatened to involve us in the wars of the French Revolution. Jefferson and Madison waged a constant struggle to maintain our independence during the Napoleon ic wars. The American ship of state almost foundered, caught as it was between the Scylla of English Or ders-in-Council and the Charybdis of Napoleon's continental system. After the congress of Vienna our concern was the threat of the Holy Alliance to restore Spanish misrule in the countries south of us. Czar Nicholas’ Ukase of 1822 was the ostensible reason for issuing of the Monroe Doctrine. The Monroe Doc trine was powerless if it had not been backed up by a tacit under standing with Canning to use the British fleet to prevent the ships of the Holy Alliance from reaching South America. U. S. Concentrates on Home Our western expansion and the slavery question caused us to for get foreign affairs until 1861. The diplomacy of Charles Francis Adams was the greatest single fac tor in the preservation of the Union. He prevented English in tervention on behalf of the south that was desired by the aristoc racy, the ‘Times,” Mr. Gladstone, and the city. Reconstruction and the chang ing of America from an agrarian to an industrial country occupied our minds for the next three decades. The Spanish - American war changed us from a colonial to a world power. John Hay’s “open doot” notes involved us in the Chinese puzzle. T. R. “the real’’ Roosevelt arbitrated the Russo Japanese war and had America participate in the Algeciras con ference of 1906. We believe if T. R. had been president in 1914 the World War would not have oc curred. It is one of the “ifs” of history. Paris Trip a Mistake Wilson’s idealism was too much for a world made nationalistic by the last war. He should never have gone to Paris. The “Tiger” and the Earl of Dwyfor were too much for the one-time professor of polit ical science. “Wilson talks like Jesus Christ and acts like Lloyd George,” said Clemenceau. The election of 1920 brought Warren Gamaliel Harding into power. “Normalcy” was the slogan now. For the next decade we were more interested in the stock mar ket than in the state of the world. The rise of dictators brought us into the stream of power politics again. Mr. Roosevelt realized we v/ould have to resort to force to stop the Axis but the parochialism of the middle west made him afraid to state the true case. It is up to us to use our power both military and financial to in sure a durable peace. Upon Am erica depends Whether the world has security and prosperity or the World War III that will mean the end of western civilization.
