TWO PRINCIPLES

United States Foreign Policy

( Received February 14, 8 p.m.) WASHINGTON, February 13,

The Senate Foreign Relations Committee majority reported that the Aid Bill carries out United States foreign policy based on two fundamental principles: "First, the United States must strive in all ways reasonably possible for the Slav of peace in all the world. "Secondly, the United States must, in its own interests, supply effective material aid to those countries whose defence is vital for our defence.” The report revealed that the Administration considered specifically naming the countries to which aid could be given, but decided that it was “not wise” because “the scene could change in the near future so that the defence of Argentine and Turkey might also be vital for our defence.”

President Roosevelt has asked for a further 40,917,000 dollars cash and contract authorizations for harbour improvements and defences, including Alaska. Hawaii and Panama.
