The Basis of World Security
Oxnam, G. Bromley | October 21, 1944 issue

add to cart   close window

The U.S. foreign policy must be based upon a frank recognition of the fact that the world is one, that the human family is one, that the common good must be supreme. The fundamental ends to be achieved must stand out in dear relief. If as democratic people Americans hold personality to be of supreme worth then they must be willing to use such forms of social and economic organization as give evidence of making the greatest contribution to personality. It simply will not do to make the U.S. foreign policy the tool of those interests who insist that the capitalist answer is the only answer. A foreign policy that seeks to preserve the privileges of the few at the expense of the good of the many is doomed to failure.
