While strongly conservative, Hickenlooper sided with [[internationalism|internationalists]] on many foreign policy matters, supporting the [[United Nations]] and backing foreign aid in 1947. He also supported the [[Marshall Plan]] as well as the establishment of [[NATO]]. However, he was much more staunchly anti-communist than many moderates, having been referred to as a "[[Cold War]] warrior". Along with [[Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr.]], Hickenlooper refused to sign a committee report which cleared the [[State Department]] of wrongdoing.
