Healthy internationalism of the past can quickly deteriorate into many forms of selfish isolationism with Western Europe seeking an inwardlooking Europe. Japan turning from that nations dependence on the Pacificbasin which has been the pattern since World War II and looking to others. including Russia. for longterm trade relations. Our own country is taking the backwardlooking policies of quota systems and tariffs similar to the patterns just before the great depression. Instead of moving in such disturbing directions. there should be a new system giving opportunity for fairness and equality. A system which will diminish tensions and lead to a stronger. more sensible. and fair trade system with advantages to all.
