UNITED STATES FOREIGN POLICY DATES BACK T0 - MESSAGE GIVEN CONGRESS By MORGAN M. BEATTY AP Feature Service Staff Writer WASHINGTON, March 1.—To get a strangle hold e the elusive ques- tion of American foreign policy, go back to the President’s annual mes- sage to Congress a month ago and ,sneak upon this puzzling sentence There are methods short of war, but stronger and more effective than words, of bringing home to aggres- sor governments the aggregate sen- timents of our own people.” Washifigton observers are sure now that he was talking about such things as: 1. The expanding national de- fense program that may cost the peacetime record sum this year of a billion and a quarter dolars. 2. The Navy's suggested plan to improve Guam, right under Tokyo's nose. 3. The $25,000.000 loan made re- cently to China for industrial im- provements, in the face of Japan's known disapproval. 4. The visit of Foreign Minister Aranha of Brazil to Washington, perhaps to discuss a loan to Brazil and other possible loans to Latin American republics. 5. The State Department's recent request to airplane manufacturers not to sell war planes to Japan. 6. The approval of the sale of hundreds of airplanes to democratic France and Great Britain. U. 8. IN THERE PITCHING All of these bits of action are | methods short of war but stronger than words to the Berlin-Rome- Tokyo triangle. They are evidence that the United States is in there pitching for democracy. These “methods” raised the ques- tion in the minds of the more or less isolationist group of Senators: Where is all this economic and mili- | tary aid to democratic nations going | to lead America? | Both sides can summon up plenty of evidence to support their cases. The Johnsons, the Borahs, the Bridges, the Nyes, and others who oppose the President’s position have logic for queries. Certainly, as the President himself states, it is Am- erican policy to avoid entangling | alliances, Then what about aiding | democracies by sending them ma-| On the other hand, the President's careful, formal statements make's perfectly logical case. Presiden Monroe himself told the world that we were bound to the Latin Am- erican nation by the common bo of democracy. So it seems g reasonable to assume that we hi gn abiding faith in the democra system, and are willing to others keep its fires lighted. [ SOMETHING TO SWING Wl'l‘ié So much for the basic logic of the situation. The current hue and oxy 1s for a handle on which to sw* the respective arguments. The talk about secrecy in plane sales, the hint apnlreniy from Senators that the President has suggested our frontier is the Rhine, or France, were used @8 handles by the isolationists to their cases before the public. 4 The President’s retort that the hint is a deliberate lie also served ° as a handle to swing in a restate ment by him of American foreign policy. Both the President and his op- position are fully aware that the international situation is so mi dynamite, and that it may expl before 1940. If it does, then f policy will be the issue in the fi - coming acmpaign, and all ll:& on the political stage want them- selves on the record favorably. In the light of long-term f: the discussion about our frontier, and the retort from the House takes on the appeal h historically, of so mueh spinach. America’s frontier has been panding and contracting with fo- | ternatonal events ever since the 8- public was founded. When Wi | ington and Jefferson warned agal alliances just before 1800, frontier was the 13 colonies. In 1803, Jefferson brought the great Louisiana purchase wi that frontier, and in 1823, Monroe flung it around the western hemil~ sphere. The Spanish American war era stretched it westward to inclh remote Guam, the Philippines apd Hawaii. The World war stretched it eastward to include France and the British Isles. % When the Senate refused to ify the Versailles Treaty and s t chines of war and money?
