ation was very grave, Williams
stated. This defensive policy de
termined America's wartime pol
icy.
When the military situation
eased. American policy makers
turned to a positive program.
“They assumed the desirability
and the possibility of restoring
and maintaining the central fea
tures of the prewar economic and
social status, quo," Williams said.
Allied economic, political, and
social policy were almost nega
tive. Such documents as the At
lantic Charter were never stated
! in a comprehensive manner. This
Uimitation was due to constant
military problems. "American
policy makers were concerned
; with stabilizing instead of chang
j ing the pdst-war world.”
At the Atlantic Conference,
early in the war, the U. S. talked
about an Anglo-American world.
Russia's strength was doubted
and her radical views were
feared. The U. S. did not want
to accept any changes in Russia's
pre-war boundaries; yet the U.
S. emphasized the need for crush
ing Germany and Japan.
Not knowing whether the
atomic bomb would work, Amer
ican policy makers faced a di
lemna. Russian help was neces
sary to whip Germany, and it
: seemed then, Japan. This would
; mean that Russia's borders
would extend beyond the pre
. war boundary.
Williams commented that Stal

ironic in that the Soviet Union
was apparently willing to aban
don its efforts to force the world
revolution.
The immediate cause of the j
cold war was the breakdown of
a tentative agreement between
Russia. Britain and the U. S.
After Roosevelt’s death, his
"•critics fell into two groups (1) '
a "sit on the lid” attitude to
ward Russia and (2j an active
expansion group.
The conflict between these two
groups led to the policy of con

cause it rested on the assump
tion that kussia couldn't produce
the H-Bomb. When she did, it
split the balance of power be
tween Russia and the U. S.
When containment failed, the
U. S. was left without a foreign
policy because both conflicting
groups did not consider negotia
tion as a possible solution.
