THE DAILY AL cago Tribune, on the other hand, rejoicing in what it discerns as an isolationist trend, declares of isola- tionism: “The voters do not flee from the word; they esteem it." We agree with the Senator, not with the Colonel, on this as on some other matters. But the term | isolationist still needs to be tied up a bit. ‘ A century ago, the concept of isolation as physi- | cal isolation from the world was at least plausible. | Japan and China were really isolated, until then. They had virtually no contact with the world. The United States of 1850 was not isolated in that sense. It had an enormous sailing trade with Europe and the Orient. It was borrowing investment capital in Europe to build canals and ra and selling a surplus of farm products overs to pay for new capital. But the United States of that time did not play a significant part in world politics. It did not have any real responsibility for helping to man- | December 30 L. F.

It at- tempted, with very little success, to return to politi- cal isolation in the 1920s A meaningful definition for our own time must stem from this background. It is fair to say that an isolationist in 1950 is a person who believes we should trade with the world, should prepare to defend our- | selves against attack, and should ally with appro- priate foreign nations in wartime, but should not accept any major responsibility for helping to govern the world community. The differences among informed subject are substantial. But they are not quarrels between isolationists and internationa They are disagreements as to just how large a part America should take in world politics, and how lar a contribution we should make to the world’s co: mon effort to achieve stability and peace by col- lective means.

(Cincinnati Enquirer) i During the campaign, and especially since the re-| sults became known ,the term isolationism has had a | strenuous workout. It is used primarily as an epithet, | rather than as a valid tool of language to convey a precise idea.
