MEMORANDUM FOR H.R. HALDEMAN
FROM:
JONATHAN C. ROSE In
SUBJECT:
McGovern-(Henry) Wallace Isolationist
Foreign Policy
In a discussion last night with a member of the CIEP staff,
a career foreign service officer, I found to my amazement
that this man had not realized until yesterday, that George
McGovern had been a supporter of Henry Wallace in 1948.
"That explains many of his utterly naive foreign policy
views and puts them in context for me, !1 he said.
This off hand remark made me realize that many Americans
know only about McGovern's Vietnam 11 leave now" policy and
perhaps too that he opposes aid to "corrupt military dicta-
torships". I think it would be worthwhile for our various
campaigners this fall if a respected foreign policy thinker
wrote a piece in some noted journal, explaining the histor-
ically naive assumptions about communism and American
Foreign Policy behind the Wallace-McGovern tradition.
Many voters today, particularly those under 30, have never
heard of Henry Wallace, and would not realize that McGovern
is a direct descendant of that peace through weakness school.
(e. g., Korean invasion of 1950 and Truman Defen se Budget
under Secretary Louis Johnson).
For such an article to have the desired impact and to be
quotable, it could not be a standard National Review "name-
calling" effort. An academic "Scoop Jackson" like John
Roche, only a foreign policy expert, would be ideal as the
author. I would gladly follow through on this; however, I
would think Henry Kissinger would be a far more fruitful
source of possible names.
