EISENHOWER'S TASK IN EUROPE: HOOVER'S ISOLATION SPEECH : RUSSIA
How is American opinion moving at this anxious time? Will defeat in Asia drive America, out of hurt pride, to put all her strength and effort into re-establishing her prestige there?
Or will she see greater danger in Europe, and bend her energies to building a fortress wall- across its old battlefields?
And the third choice-Isolation? Is that a probability?

The writer of this important survey of current American opinion is the President of the Courier-Journal and the Louisville Times.
He is also Trustee of Harvard University; was recently director of a special Economic Co-operation Administration Mission to France. His father was American Ambassador to Britain. This survey was not written for publication, but as a letter of guidance and information to a friend in Britain. Hence in frankness.
