Just this summer no less a voice than the editors of the New Yorker magazine speculated that: A return to some form of isolationism is . . the only way for us to regain our traditional democratic values ... Here we have the modern echo of George Washingtons warning against the dangers of "foreign entanglements." Internationalists. of course. have always sought in foreign policy a dimension through which to express the moral design of our own society. An example is the Jackson amendment to the forthcoming trade legislation. which would condition the extension of mostfavorednation tariff concessions to the Soviet Union on some pledge by the Russians to allow free emigration from their country. Dr. Kissinger opposes this amendment.
