...sulky cap. He stood on the conning tower with Skipper Casler, a fellow Missourian, while the U-2513 headed for open sea, beyond the southernmost limits of the U.S. Then, as the boat was rigged for diving, Harry Truman went below to the control room. Elevators depressed, the streamlined hull slid gently beneath the blue waters. The depth indicator showed that the President was going deeper than any of his predecessors*-200 feet, 300, 400 and finally 440. The U-boat could have gone deeper, but that was as far as the Navy wanted to take its Commander in Chief...

A continuation of the Roosevelt-Hull line would force Republicans to break with their past. On these little publicized subdivisions of policy, the country has less assurance of Republican views than on their UN stand. It must be remembered that Senator Taft, the new Majority leader, opposed U.S. acceptance of the Bretton Woods agreement, and was a strong reservationist when...
...foundations of the peace lie deep in world economics, most fundamentally in the ability of the United States to cooperate with the reconstructing European powers. Tax cuts at home may well imply the withdrawal of U.S. troops from vital occupation zones. Cooperation cannot mean tariff protectionism, rejection of the Hull reciprocity program, and the curtailment of American foreign investment,--apparent objectives of the Republicans in the 79th Congress...
