For Strenuous Presidential Cumpuiqn

strategists must take into consid-
Grafton.
Whether Dewey remains silent or
not on the international situation
and Americas plans for remaining
neutral that Is just what his two
principal opponents for the presi-
dental nomination cannot do. Sena-
tor Vandenberg of Michigan and
Senator Taft of Ohio must make
their record on neutrality legisla-
ton and make it vocally as we'll as
by their votes. Both already have
stated their positions with regard
to the Presidents demand for repeal
OF the arms embargo. Mr.. Vanden-
berg is against 1t and Mr.. Taft is
for it, coupled with a drastic CASH
and-carry plan.
Judging from the claims made by
the supporters of embargo repeal,
Mr.. Vandenberg has the losing side
on that issue in the Senate. Fifty
six Senators or more are ready to
vote for repeal, theySay. The debate
In the Senate, however, is still to
be heard. What the repercussions
throughout the country from that
debate will be remains to be learned.

declared abroad in the next few
months, whether the war continues
and whether the United States finds
itself involved in the warts going
to make a vast difference probably
in the political campaign in this
country next year. In the mean
time, however, the Republicans are
going right ahead with their pre-
convention plans. Chairman Ham,
ilton made it perfectly clear-as did
Senator Vandenberg in speech
recently in Grand Rapids, that
there is to be no adjournment of
politics, and presumably the Demo-
Gratis are not going to be caught
