"Washington, Oct. 15.
"Nobody in Washington today can doubt that the foreign policy of the United States has been deeply affected by the Munich Accord," Mr. William Stone, one of the best-informed American journalist on international questions, stated in an article published in the "Foreign Policy Bulletin."
"Nobody seriously attempts to deny that the United States can be direct: perhaps rapidly, affected by the consequences of the rapid changes in Europe," he added. "Washington officials are waiting for further events before taking decisions involving future obligations, and are keeping an eye on London and Paris, but more particularly Rome and Berlin. If Mr. Neville Chamberlain's policy of peace and concessions to dictators is continued, the United States will remain aside, waiting for the results of this policy. If a more comprehensive accord allowed a period of peace, Washington would them be ready to collaborate in military and economic disarmament. If, on the other hand Mr. Chamberlain's policy merely delays a war and results in a further crisis over the problem of the restitution of former German col-anies, Washington would certainly adopt an active attitude, for our own safety is supported by that of the British Empire. If Great Britain's superiority were threatened, the United States would be compelled to take measures to strengthen her military defence." Mr. Stone concluded.—Havas.
