President May
Be Altering The
Foreign Policy
i ■ - - -
I By Preston Grover
WASHINGTON, Nov.—Before
leaving for his recent western
tour, President Roosevelt had in
cluded a brief paragraph or two
about foreign affairs into a speech
he made about the constitution.
He said:
'Tear .spreads throughout the
world—fear of aggression, fear of.
invasion, fear of revolution, fear
of death. The people of America
are rightly determined to keep
that growing menace from our
shores.
“The known and measureable
•danger of becoming involved in
war, we face confidently_ As to j
that, your government knows
your mind, and you know your
government's mind.”
Then he made the western trip .
He talked to a lot of people and
they talked to him. On his re
turn trip he made the Chicago
speech, talking of the desirabil
ity of taking ''positive” action to
“quarantine” that 10 percent of
the world's population which
wouldn’t leave it hands off its
guns.
That speech surprised a sub
stantial part of official and un-:
official Washington. Maybe, after
all, Washington merely thought
it knew what was in the govern
ment's mind. Or maybe the gov
ernment, after its tour west, had
discovered something in the coun
try's mind that it hadn’t sus
pected was there in such force.
At any rate, the talk was so
much more aggressive in tone
than the stand taken by the state
department in its several procla
mations about the peace-minded
ness of the United States that
some surmised the President had
become a bit impatient.
. Neutrality Act's First Test ....
Another surmise: That the
President had discovered a rising
swell of American sentiment ag
ainst sitting on the internaional'
fence.
What actually has happened, in
the view of many here, is that
the neutrality act has been put
to its first test before the public.
It wasn't put to a test in the Eth
iopian affair, which occurred be
fore the present act was passed.
Spain was not much of a test.
Both sides seemed to be fairly
well matched, and civil wars
among Spanish-speaking peoples
have been rather frequent affairs
on this continent for centuries.

sy i p thic • v.iii.rh i! is difi Jlllt to

'i v o Oliver Views
But congrc.,, debated that ques
tion a long time before pass
ing the neutrality act. Senators
Nye, Clark, Vandenberg and oth
er.s insisted that isolation was the
best means of keeping out of
foreign war and that any effort
to cooperate with other nations
in suppressing outbreaks was
simply inviting a repetition of 19
17. The vote in the senate was 62
to 6 in favor of the neutrality
which incorporates that view.
But former Secretary of State
Henry L. Stimson says a boycott
by the United States and Great
Britain of Japanese silk and oth
er exports will leave that coun
try no money to fight China. And,
he says, such a boycott wouldn’t
bring war.
Those are the two view's, and
the President’s speech appears to
favor the Stimson view of doing
so met h i n g—now.
