"The
diplomacy of the present administration has sought to respond
to modern ideas of commercial intercourse. This policy has
been characterized as substituting dollars for bullets. It
is one that appeals alike to idealistic humanitarian sentiments,
to the dictates of sound policy and strategy, and to legitimate
commercial aims."
