It is reported that peace-minded civilians seem to be regaining control over United States foreign policy. Military dominance is ending; and the complex "we must light Russia tomorrow" no longer binds the Administration. The President, of course, has been peace-minded all along and his very choice of Dean Acheson as Secretary of State represented a setback for the inevitable conflict school. The new element is the recent reorganization in the State Department, which is at last making it possible for these two men to carry out their wishes.
