The article presents a comment on the foreign policy in the U.S. under the administration of the President John F. Kennedy. The President is carrying armament to a still higher level of lethality, and great is the rejoicing in the electronics, missile and aviation press. The art of diplomacy consists in promoting national interests without giving unnecessary offense; it is an art which has been lost in the U.S. since the end of World War II. Kennedy has revived it, and that is all to the good. President Kennedy and his Secretary of State are willing to experiment with confidential negotiation.
