The personnel is little changed from that of the last con gress and the political setup is the same. The condi tions, however, under which this congress must work are greatly changed. The problems which this body of national legislators must meet are the greatest that have ever confronted our nation. The immediate and most important is the determi nation of a definite foreign policy. We cannot es cape dealing with the affairs of practically all the nations of the world. We went along during the earl ier part of the war under the Atlantic Charter, with provisions against aggression and for self determi nation of weaker nations, but England has broken these principles without accord from us, and both England and Russia are playing power politics, thus delaying the progress of the war and giving us the brunt of the fighting. We organized at Dumbarton Oakes, but nothing so far has been developed effectively from that plan. We have met serious losses and defeats on the Western Front and now are facing with the strong probabilities of all of this year at war in Europe. We are supplying most of the man power along with the major portion of material, and yet have very little control of the shaping of things to come. Congress finds itself confronted with strong and early action on this problem if we are to get on successfully with the war. We are told that a meeting of the big three will iron out these difficulties in February. We have been led to believe that the new secretary of state and his assistants will take a more positive position, and that they have the brains and courage and experience to give us our proper place in world affairs. Along with all this the new congress will have to show greater strategy, courage and statesmanship in creating a foreign policy than many preceding congresses. If they do not, the rising tide of isolationism, which we thought dead, will flood the nation. The newspa pers, which have contained little on the subject, will now be filled with discussions and declarations, which should be read and studied in the interest of public opinion, the reaction from which may spur the congress and administrative official to greater ac tion.
