Governor's Message #10 - Announcing a change in foreign policy...

In considering the rising threat of Alterterra under Chancellor Roxstein (RoxRox) to the security of the Commonwealth of Rockford under my leadership, I have come to conclusion that a reexamination of a foreign policy is warranted.

That said, we are dropping the anti-Scarabian foreign policy. Our new foreign policy calls for further rapproachment with the Scarabian Republic. We believe that our alliance with the Scarabian Republic will counter the threat that the communist Alterterra poses to the universal security. I've instructed our Ambassador to the Scarabian Republic, Mr. Lucky Sevens, to propose to the Scarabian Republic a new treaty calling for a free trade between the respective parties, for common defense against the communist threat, and so on.

I believe that this reversal of foreign policy is a key to stemming the tide of communist advances.

I am also proposing to the Senate an increase in military spending to record-high level for first time after a decade of cutbacks. More details expected to be announced on those and related issues later on after I completes the state visit to the Scarabian Republic next week.

Cold War has apparently started in Active Worlds universe, ladies and gentlemen.

May the god save the freedom and capitalism!
