Abstract

Snub-and-Sell Diplomacy
Stone, I. F. | June 14, 1941 issue

This article focuses on certain measures short of war, concerning American trade and supplies to the Axis, taken by the United State Department of Commerce. For all its eulogies of democracy the State Department has always had an aristocratic professional dislike of democratic processes. This inquiry is feared because: it might interfere with the possibility of appeasing the Japanese, it would reveal the powerful influence of oil and other interests in the department, and it would thereby hurt the department's behind-the-scenes fight to control the long-postponed establishment of a Ministry of Economic Warfare.
