However important those things may be, this countrys final policy will be, or should be, settled by considerations that go rather beyond them. What I have attempted, therefore, in the selection and arrangement of these notes, is to bring into relief the more important aspects of the general principles that underlie international polity in so far as it affects A mericans. The book in fact may be regarded as an attempt to furnish an introduction to the study of American foreign policy; a contribution to national preparedness in that respect. A country can as little dispense with preparedness in policy as in arms. The idea that the former can be neglected if only the latter are efficient, that we can attain security by military force alone, is one of those errors against which Bismarck warned his countrymen vainly thirty years ago.
