U S Foreign Policy
Called 'lneffective'
By STEVE CIMBALA
Recent American foreign pol
icy, under both the Eisenhower
and Kennedy administrations,
frequently, has been ineffective at
promoting the nation’s best in
terests, Dr. Milnor Alexander,
professor of political science, told
members of the International Re
lations Club last night.
Specifically, she said, problems
in Latin America, Southeast Asia
and’ even Europe have been al
leviated little by present foreign
policies.
One reason for this, she con
tinued, is that it is virtually im
possible for the United States to
formulate and implement a con
crete, yet flexible, foreign policy
that will be equally effective in
all 'areas of the world.
DR. ALEXANDER said she felt
that most ideas about American
foreign policy could be grouped
into three principal viewpoints.
The first of these, she said, is
the "realistic” outlook, whose
proponents believe that Commu
nism is the major threat both to
our society and to the world com
munity as a whole.
Advocates of this line of reason
ing feel that most of the world’s
serious political problems could
be solved by preserving and ex

panding the free world along
lines dictated by and patterned
after the United States, she said.
The second viewpoint, she con
tinued, is the so-tei'med “social
ist” concept, which defines most
international problems as results
of the "monopoly capitalism”
which “afflicts” the world, ■
Their nostrum for world ills,
she said, is that any nation must
predicate foreign policies upon
welfare for all socio-economic
classes within the nation.
SHE SAID the third principal
outlook concerning foreign policy
is popularly classified as the
“idealistic” viewpoint.
Spokesmen for, this theory con
tend, she said, that the world’s
major lie in the pre
ponderance of poverty, disease,
and illiteracy among the world’s
underdeveloped nations'.
These “idealists” believe that
countries must work cooperative
ly to eliminate such ills, even if
they must forego their national
interests to do so, she added.
In sum, she said none of these
classifications is itself an absolute
panacea for world problems.
Rather, she said, experts should
study such problems with the
merits of all three viewpoints in
mind.
