AMERICA AFTER MUNICH
NEW PHASE OF FOREIGN POLICY. The new phase of American foreign policy which developed out of Munich is established and defined, writes the Washington correspondent of the “Christian Science Monitor.” The process of adjusting the machinery to it is now under way. Before Munich, the emphasis in American foreign policy was on long range and idealistic objectives. Its scope involved all the nations of the world, and its guiding principles were those generalised objectives of the Secretary of State, Mr Cordel Hull, which aimed at a world of peace and order brought about by the assertion of international rightmindedness. Since Munich, the tempo, the emphasis and the character of the policy has changed. It is now power politics; the assertion in positive and direct action of the influence and weight of the United States towards specific and bluntly named ends. It is bold condemnation of German aggression, by name. Its weapons are such things as tariff penalties against Germany.
