eS ener plain 8 RE to those who ere well-informed, ¢ che" oe day-by-day dealings of governments with each other often appear rather mysterious. Ic is ° never possible to know precisely whar goes on in the guarded precincts of the foreign offices. Buc the underlying faerors which determine the broad lines of policy are subject to analysis. In THE PERMANENT BASES OF FOREIGN POL- Icy four statesmen of experience and authority make this analysis. They describe, interestingly ‘and concisely, the national aspirations of France, ' Germany, Great Britain and the United States, and explain how those aspirations are pur into '. practice. The concern of these distinguished statesmen has been to describe those policies which are per- - manent, which persist through the years and de- | spite cabinet and party changes. Their long ex- perience in conducting the foreign relations of _ their countries and their extraordinary knowl- edge of the world scene give this book a unique : value. This important and interesting volume will ; equip you to see more clearly what lies behind the actions of the foreign offices and to discover . the real significance of the news of the day. ne ee ee aero wo .
