Page 4 U.S. foreign policy goals revealed U. S. foreign policy pursues a goal known to only a few Americans, State Department foreign service officials revealed here Tuesday. “A more stable world” is the way Edward Peck and David Morrison described it in a Poli tical Forum presentation at Tex as A&M University. They indicated certain current situations, such as Arab control of oil, can contribute to the goal. Other countries will buy the oil. The Arabs, like most holders of capital, will want to see the money working for them, Mor rison and Peck said. “Don’t overlook the value of Arab investments in the U. S.,” Peck suggested. He cited Ashland Industries as an example. “Such investments can be expropriated if they don’t behave. Investments will make them interdependent.” He noted that the U. S. seized German and Japanese property here “and we still hold Commu nist Chinese property.” In the double-barrel lecture, Peck discussed the role of the State Department in world af fairs. Morrison covered world trade. Peck, a career diplomat, indi cated foreign policy problems fall into one of three categories. “The U. S. can make unilateral decisions, in which we are the only ones making decisions and have 100 per cent control.” “There are bilateral decisions, in which two sides are involved and we have, at best, 50 per cent control,” Peck added. “The third class I call non-lateral, for want of a better term, in which we have no vote at all.” He said the majority of the world’s problems are Class 3 in nature. The Pakistan-Indian war and Grecian military takeover were cited as examples. They severely Citizen calls voice opinions AUSTIN UP) _ The Constitu tional Convention staff says it gets almost as many telephone calls from those interested in pub lic smoking as those in the right to work issue.

Main 822-6000 limit foreign policy procedures that may be employed, he indi cated. “A lot of things we do are to tally vacuous in terms of seeing an effect,” Peck said. “In most situations, only historians will tell it.” He said the Vietnam War falls into this category, with the end result yet to be determined. “No body can yet say whether it will be good or bad.” The speaker said U. S. foreign policy goal is not to conquer nor subjugate countries but to work “for a more stable world through free trade, opportunity to travel, freedom—a ‘good luck out there’ approach to things.” Morrison said the U. S. ap proach to trade interests can take a global, idealistic route or one of specialized parts of the world or individual countries. “Some people believe we should seek favored trade treatment from selected countries in return for it,” he said, “and thus reduce trade barriers. We haven’t seen any such effect.” The energy crisis, Morrison evaluated, has not changed the world trade situation that much, though some think it will make obsolete the favored nation ap proach. “The energy situation is different from others only in its magnitude,” he said. Peck said most problems of na tionalization of American invest ments abroad deal “with the ex tractive industries, such as oil, tin and copper. The U. S. can only recognize that other coun tries may wish to take steps to protect its resources, and we can’t argue with that.” But through policy procedures, he said, the U. S. can attempt to show a country the value of buy ing controlling interest. NEW YORK and WASHINGTON, D C 56 65 tax included Round-trip Airfare from Dallas 846-7833 Between 5 - 10 p. m.
