Present U.S. Foreign Policy To Continue
'TRUMAN CALLS FOR EXERCISE OF WISDOM AND RESTRAINT
WASHINGTON, Nov. 11.-President Truman declared in a statement to-day that America's present foreign policy will be continued by him and the Secretary of State, Mr James Byrnes, as a national programme, with the support of both Democrats and Republicans.
"Members of both parties, in and out of Congress, have participated in the inn er council in preparing and in actually carrying out the foreign policies of our Govern- ment. It has been a national and not a party programme. It will continue to be a national programme Insofar as the Secretary of State and I are concerned,” the President said.
"I firmly believe our Repub.
