the
conflict based upon fundamentally different philosophies of government.
Summary
It is true that both the Russian philosophy of government and
her desire to become a strong economic power contain the seeds of
conflict with the United States. There is no assurance that war
between the two nations can be avoided. Under these circumstances, it
is imperative that we do all in our power to maintain an impregnable
defensive position. It would seem just es short-sighted for us to
strengthen Russia in any way as it was for us to strengthen Japan by
continuing to sell her oil and scrap iron at a time when her policies
were actively opposed to our own.
