The piece argues postwar alliances are shifting as NATO and the European Common Market face challenges. It notes France’s push for independent nuclear forces, India-Pakistan tensions, and a US-Soviet stance on China and regional conflicts. It urges re evaluating alliances, aid, and arms to fit a changed global order.
Washington confronts a crowded foreign policy arena with many voices from the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and State Department critics. The piece argues bureaucratic fragmentation and intraparty pressure weaken decisive action while insiders warn that outsiders and extremists shape policy more than the national interest, as Hoover’s con consular warning halts a Soviet treaty and attendance at 13 committee meetings falters.

Aiken to maintain foreign policy reevaluation. The piece also covers local education reform talk, orchard labour concerns, student China project, Vermont Republican unity, and quotes from other papers.
A Bennington Garden Club member reviews It’s Your Community by Henry B. Raymore and H. Stuart Ortloff of Arlington.
