Saying that the United States "cannot turn our back on the world," President Clinton offered a broad defense tonight of his foreign policy initiatives and issued tough-sounding challenges to North Korea and other foreign governments. "America cannot solve every problem, and must not become the world's policeman," he said in an international forum televised by Cable News Network. "But we have an obligation to join with others to do what we can to relieve the suffering and restore peace."

With their sales rising smartly, a majority of America's top executives are far more sanguine about the economy than the general public is, the latest New York Times/CBS News Poll shows. But many executives also have a complaint: they can't get the price increases that many say are needed to keep their businesses thriving. The executives favor, in effect, a bit more inflation -- for their industries, at least -- than the current mild national level.

Last night's appearance by President Clinton was billed as a "Global Forum," but only a few parts of the world could have had any immediate knowledge of it. While CNN is available in 62 million homes in the United States and more than 50 million in Western Europe, the figure for the rest of the world is under 30 million. While the program was seen in prime time in the United States, it would have been seen after midnight or later in Europe and Africa. It was dawn in much of Asia.

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency yesterday approved Mellon Bank's application to acquire the Dreyfus Corporation, the nation's sixth-largest mutual fund company. Mellon Bank and Dreyfus agreed to merge in a deal valued at $1.85 billion last December. The proposal set off a debate about the regulation of mutual fund sales by banks. Dreyfus manages about 130 mutual funds with about $80 billion in assets. The merger will create a diversified financial services company with more than $3 billion in revenue and about $215 billion under management. The comptroller's approval subjects the bank and its operating subsidiaries to several conditions, which the agency said it planned to enforce "through appropriate supervisory and legal actions."

The stock of Littlefield, Adams & Company resumed trading yesterday after being halted for more than a month and closed at 41.8 percent below the value it was halted at. Shares of the San Antonio T-shirt and medical-supply company closed at $8, down $5.75. Littlefield, Adams shares had not traded since March 31, when the American Stock Exchange had halted trading in the stock so the company could file its year-end financial statements for 1993. The filing was delayed repeatedly, partly because the exchange asked Littlefield to restate its previous three quarterly statements. The restated financials were released yesterday. The Securities and Exchange Commission is investigating the company's accounting practices and several recent acquisitions, Littlefield has said.
