A Call to Action: Revising America's Foreign Policy for Survival, 1951-01-01 - 1951-12-31
Scope and Contents
The document outlines a suggested foreign policy for the United States, emphasizing the need for Congress to have full participation in determining military and political decisions. It calls for making the country impregnable to attack, reducing non-essential civilian expenditures, and building strong defense systems in the Western Hemisphere. The document also suggests establishing defense lines in the Atlantic and Pacific, refusing further aid to Western Europe unless they are carrying their share of the burden, and inviting Britain and the British Commonwealth of Nations to participate. Additionally, it proposes concluding peace treaties with Germany, Japan, and Austria. The document calls for a fight for the survival of American Constitutional Government and America itself.
