...Secretary of State then broke a 149-year U.S. tradition against entangling alliances, urged a 25-year renewable Big Four treaty to "insure that the total disarmament and demilitarization of Germany will be enforced as long as the peace and security of the world may require." The method: strip Germany of all war-making power, keep her stripped by setting up a four-power inspection system and military force to pounce on the slightest infringement. He also offered a similar treaty on Japan. The U.S. was willing to keep troops in both enemy countries until the four Allies agreed that...
