It is inaccurate to term this a "new policy." In one way it is extension of the Monroe Doctrine from the Western Hemispheres to free peoples everywhere.

It is also authoritatively stat ed that the French airborne division is expected to be sta -tioned-in-Metropolitan France and partly in North Africa, and that nothing is known in Lon- don of any intention to send it i to the Far East-Router.
