...Columnists Alsop & Kintner (see p. 67) published a widely current story: that last month a U.S. destroyer on Atlantic patrol, picking up survivors from a British vessel, was approached by a German submarine, let go three depth charges. Said the columnists: "Although the President is waiting for the Germans to shoot first . . . there has been shooting already. . . . The interest of the Germans is to avoid ... an incident. It is perfectly possible that the submarine was in fact sunk, and that the Germans have suppressed all public complaint. . . . The Navy ... is fully ready to act. ...

That spectacular piece of reporting, American White Paper by Joseph Alsop and Robert Kintner, declared last month that U. S. foreign policy-in conception at least-is neither hare-brained nor haphazard but determined and clean-cut (TIME, April 29). But difficulties in its application and debate on its course still remain. Last week and this, two books by distinguished students of the problem were rushed into print. Each was primarily concerned with the protection...
