The principle of avoiding foreign i entanglements, he said, ‘‘is as import ant today as when the United States is a great and- powerful nation as ■ when it was a small and weak nation of thirteen states, struggling to main tain its existence. The principle has become the cornerstone of our foreign policy. “This does not mean isolation or re fusal to co-operate as we have always done with other nations, in all those non-political activities for the advancer ment of science, education, commerce and all other activities so important to modern civilization. It simply means that the United States through long experience has come to the con clusion that offensive or defensive al liances, political or military, are not in harmony with the principles of our government or interests of our peo- I pie.” Referring to demands for extension j of the Federal paternalism the Secre- I tary said: “The government should not assume jto carry on the activities necessary ! for good government, to restrict those j rights nnd activities. The individual cannot be dependent permanently and directly upon the government for his progress and prosperity.” To Remove Gasoline Tanks From the Sidewalks.
