Summary/Abstract: It is at times difficult to understand to what extent the attitude of the people of the United States regarding participation in world affairs has been influenced by the so-called “Traditions of the Fathers”, and particularly by the advice of Washington “ to steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world.” These traditions have become deeply embedded in the American consciousness. However, with the lapse of time and change in conditions, their origin and spirit have often been overlooked and they have been given a meaning which the “Fathers” never intended to convey.
