Excerpt from Annals of the American Academy, Vol. 67: September, 1916 The decision to devote the Twentieth Annual Meeting of the Academy to a discussion of America's International Program was' reached after long and careful deliberation. In reaching this decision the Committee on Annual Meeting was influenced by the fact that the opportunity was offered the Academy to perform an important national service in guiding public opinion in a matter of vital importance to the future of our country. The agitation for adequate preparedness has been carried on with but little reference to the question, - For what are we pre paring? It is evident. In other words, that the nature and extent of preparedness depend to a very large degree on the specific foreign policy which the United States is going to pursue. To make a fetish of preparedness without reference to the principles for which we are going to stand in international relations is to invite disaster. The purpose which the Annual Meeting Com mittee had in mind was to make clear to the people of the country the relation between foreign policy and preparedness. The papers presented throw a flood of light on this vital question, and indicate clearly that a turning point has been reached in our national history. Upon the decisions of the next few years will depend to a very large extent whether the United States is to be a disturbing factor in world politics or whether we are to stand for a policy of international cooperation with all that goes therewith.
