Wallace Calls British Policy Imperialistic in Near East
Secretary of Commerce Wallace warned that British imperialistic policy in the Near East combined with Russian retaliation could push the United States toward war unless Washington defines and pursues an independent foreign policy. He urged adopting an American perspective, rejecting alignment with Britain or Russia, and argued for non confrontational diplomacy with the Soviet Union. He linked his stance to supporting Truman's views and opposed Dewey's defense alliance with Britain as foreign policy core.
