Abstract: The United States has for a long time treated its foreign relations as a series of crises and has concentrated too much on counteracting Soviet moves. The United States must instead try to develop a positive, independent policy, the aim of which should be to create a world order in which all nations would be able to live in peace, freedom, and justice. Such a policy cannot be improvised; it must be as thoroughly prepared as that which resulted in the creation of the United Nations. A large research effort, comparable perhaps to the Manhattan Project in the field of nuclear energy, would be necessary. To the extent that the United States should be able to formulate a foreign policy which would be favorable to the survival of the American people and to the survival of the human race, it would not have to worry about creating a favor able world opinion. An effective plan for world peace would create such a wave of enthusiasm around the world that even the Soviet Union would not find it advisable to be opposed.
