...Before military planning could be changed, the President and his advisers, represented by the National Security Council, had to make some basic policy decisions. This has been done. And the basic decision was ... to depend primarily upon a great capacity to retaliate instantly by means and at places of our choosing . . . And as a result, it is now possible to get, and to share [with allies], more security at less cost...

McCarthy's treatment of the China trade, his initial investment, is a good example. Understanding very well that the people are naturally troubled by the idea of one's allies trading with one's enemy, McCarthy has built himself...
