Gustav STRESEMANH viet of li views could not b@Put better than in the words used by Elihu’ Root in an article in the very first issue df the review: “When foreign affairs were ruled by autocracies or oligarchies,” wrote Mr. Root, “the danger of war wag in sinister purpose. When foreign affairs are ruled by democracies the danger of war will be in mistaken beliefs, The world will be the gainer by the change, for, while there is no human way to prevent a king from having a bad heart, there is a human way to prevent a people from having an erroneous opinion. That way is to furnish the whole people, as a part of their ordinary education, with correct information about their relations to other peoples, about the limitations upon their own rights, about their duties to respect the rights of others, about what has happened and is happen- ing in international! affairs, and about the effects upon national! life of the things that are done or refused as between nations; so that the people themselves will have the means to test misinformation and appeals to prejudice and passion based upon error.” In pursuit of its aim FOREIGN AFFAIRS in the ; course of five years has built up a list of over twelve: » thousand subscribers, distributed all over the world. Its Nonpartisan Policy FOREIGN AFFAIRS has met with such success be- cause it is free from partisanship. It does not plead any particular cause, however worthy. In its five years e it has welcomed to its pages every honest and in- telligent point of view regarding the great pivotal ques- tions of our time. An Example Drawn from Reparations and War Debts S AN instance of the manner in which FOREIGN *~ AFFAIRS deals with international questions, con- sider its unique record in presenting different aspects of the complex problem of Reparations, War Debts and American Foreign Loans. As spokesmen for France, it has called upon Edouard Herriot, Louis Laucheur, Foseph Caillaux, André Tardieu and Fean Parmentier; as spokes- men for Germany, Ex-ChanceHor Luther, Gustavo Strese- mann, R.R. Kucaynski and Karl Kautsky. As American contributions toward the solution of this . problem, FOREIGN AFFAIRS has printed thoughtful articles by Roland #’, Boyden, Dr. Edwin F. Gay, John .- , WFoster Dulles, Prof. Charles H. Haskins, Walker D. Hines and Prof. dilya A. Young. Albert Rathbone’s article on * our War Loans has been called the best thing written on the subject. The articles by George P, Auld, for three fe ee ee eR ds years Accountant-General of tI Reparation Com- misston, which appeared under the pen name 4/pha, were cited by Genera Dawes as “‘like the sound of a clear bell in a fog.” ’ American Foreign Policy OREIGN AFFAIRS has made similar contributions towards a better understanding of the international relations of the United States. For example, in the effort to develop a well-rounded interest in our own foreign olicy as a basis of a reasoned public opinion, the Editors have turned to American leaders holding as different views as Colonel Edward M. House, the late Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, George W. Wickersham, Norman_H. Davis, Senator Capper, the late Charles W’. Eliot and Representa- tive Theodore E. Burton, . Articles on special phases of our foreign relations have included David Hunter Miller's discussion of “Political Rights in the Arctic,” Walter Lippmann's analysis of the course of Senator Borah as Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relations, Gen. Harbord’s statement of our radio communications problem, Stanley K. Horndeck’s ‘answer to the query “Has the United States a Chinese Policy?” and the comprehensive studies of the future of the Philippines, by Dr. Stephen P. Duggan, Col. Henry L. Stimson and Moorfield Starey. Military and Naval Criticism AMERICA'S able representative on the Supreme War Council, General Tasker H. Bliss, formerly Chief of Staff, chose FOREIGN AFFAIRS as the place in which to tell the first true story of the formation of the Supreme Unified Command, and also for a highly suggestive paper on Disarmament. Another article pointing out current misconceptions about disarmament problems was written by dilen W. Dulles on the eve of his departure for Geneva as one of the American experts at the naval parley. Other contributions of interest to military and naval men have been Senator de Kerguezec’s presentation of French Naval Aims, Edward P. Warner's criticism of proposed plans for limitation of air armaments, Genera/ von KuAl’s description of the unsuccessful attempt to unify the command among the Central Powers, Major- General Sir Frederick Maurice's survey of the military strength of the European powers today, and the same Keystowe Aptour CAPPER Underwood Ro.ano W.
