If the administration‘s present estimation of what our foreign policy should be is correct, the American people are likely to have to pay a heavy price for the administration‘s previous failures to make accurate estimations. > . One of the greatest weaknesses in the administraâ€" tion‘s defense of its foreign policies is the seriousness of the errors it hasg made in the past. e t Because the American people remember that the administration proclaimed, shortly before the start of the war in Korea, that "Korea is not included in our perimeter of defense ;" because the American peoâ€" ple remember that the administration hamstrung Chiang Kai Shek in his fight against the communists in His country; because they remember that the adâ€" ministration had to be violently shoved into doing anyâ€" thing about communists in our own government ; they are not likely to attach much weiggt to administraâ€" tion opinions now proffered. â€" _ _ 2 President Truman says in effect that we are de terred from striking full foree at theâ€"Chinese Reds Vol. 40; No. 11 because we do not want atomic bombs dropped on American cities.
