A New Congress and Its Great Problems
The new 179th congress convened yesterday. 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.
