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

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.
A weekly report on the calls
received on the convention’s free
statewide telephone service shows
133 of the total 697 calls concern
ed the right to work issue. A total
of 118 were about smoking in
public places. The third place
went to a state income tax with
58 calls.

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.
