ton with the serious duty before
them of picking the best candidate
for a presidential nomination of a
great political party, but there 1t is.
The demonstrations" for presi-
Dental candidates in Republican
National Conventions usually have
been decorous affairs-as compared
to the vociferous Democratic gath
erings. Last night, however, the
G. o. P. staged at least one demon
stration that calls to mind the Re-
publican National Convention Of
1920 and the Democratic National
Conventions of 1924 and 1882. This
was the demonstration when Rep
resentative Halleck of Indiana
placed in nomination Wendell L.
Willkie, whose buildup in the last
six weeks has been the political
phenomenon of 1940-so far.
Thunderous for Willkie.
The noise from the galleries was
ar-splitting, and although the
Willkie demonstration did not last
as long as either the demonstration
for Thomas E. Dewey of New York
or Senator Taft Of Ohio, it much
exceeded them in volume of sound.
And the sound came almost entirely
from the galleries, which were
packed. The delegates on the floor
kept silent, although many Of them
were strong for Willkie. What
seemed to be organized cheering,
I'VE want Willkie." went up in
waves of sound. Had the matter
been left to be settled by the amount
of cheers from the gallery Willkie
would have won hands down.
An ugly report gained ground.
1t was that the galleries had been
packed" by Willkie supporters. to
whom one-day tickets were issued,
numbering from 800 to 1000, ac-
cording to the rumor. Col. r. B.
Creager of Texas, floor manager for
Senator Taft, hearing the report,
took the matter up with Samuel F.
Pryor, jr., national committeeman
from Connecticut, chairman of the
Committee on Arrangements for the
convention and an adrent Willkie
supporter.
Red in the face, the Texan shook
his fist in the face Of Mr.. Pryor
and made the charge on the speak
er's platform, waving one-day
ticket in Mr.. Pryor's face Mr.. Pryor
did not deny that some 800 of these
tickets had been issued. Indeed
he said that he would always be
willing to bring 1000 or 1000 more
of "the people" into a Republican
National Convention, that the con-
vention was not a private affair or
a country club. This did not pacify
Col. Creager, however. Nor did 1t
still the charge that the convention
hall had been packed with Willkie
supporters to carry on demon
stration.
Stupid II True.
If there was any truth in the
charge it was stupid move on the
part of the Willkie managers. Not
only did it bring into question the
genuineness of the spontaneous
support which the Willkie people
have claimed for their candidate
but 1t reused the anger of the sup
porters of other presidential candi-
dates to white heat.
The volume Of cheering for Will
kie In the galleries last night was
no more-indeed. it was less-than
the cheers which came from the
galleries in Madison Square Gar
den in the Democratic National
Convention Of 1924, when AL Smith
then Governor, was placed in nomi-

last night, which materially curbed
the noise. incidentally, none of
the three leading candidates in 1920
won the Republican nomination. 1t

fense of the Monroe Doctrine and
everybody is for that. 1t declares
for mo involvement" in foreign
wars which means, of course, no
deliberate provocation by anything
done by the United States Govern
ment itself. 1t declares, moreover,
for the extension of all possible aid
to democratic nations but such aid
must mot be in violation of inter-
national law or inconsistent with
the requirements Of our own ma
tional defense"
This provision is broad enough to
take care of all possible contingent
cies whether America becomes
belligerent or remains a non-bel-
ligerent. Technically, it is no vio-
lation of international law to ex-
port all sorts of weapons and arms
and airplanes to foreign countries
engaged in war. Likewise, 1t is no
violation of international law for
citizens to impose a moral embargo
and refrain from selling to bel
ligerents with whom we are not in
sympathy.
Resales Not Violation.
To extend aid to foreign countries
by reselling them old equipment
or to stimulate our productive proc
esses by accepting foreign orders
30 as to build up armament capacity
for our own defense is also not vio-
lation of international law.
So, with the exception of selling
certain equipment which the Army
and Navy might oppose, such as was
involved in the recent episode about
the mosquito torpedo boats, there
Is nothing really different from
that which the Roosevelt admins
tration has been doing to aid the
Allies.
The one important difference, of
course, is the condemnation Of the
Presidents recent speech about
Italy stabbing France in the back.
This was covered in a sentence
which said the convention deplored
explosive utterances by the Presi-
dent directed at other governments,
which serve to imperil our peace"
Now that France has surrendered,
however, the Charlottesville speech
seemed to the Republicans to have
lent itself to bit of political attack,
but this hardly interferes with the
practical program of building up
defenses or selling equipment to
the British If mot inconsistent with
the requirements of our own ma
tional defense.
In Line With Willkie.
The danger here in the platform
making was that a foreign policy
plank would be adopted which would
hurt the chances of some candidates
and improve the chances OF the
isolationists. Actually, the candi-
dacy of Wendell Willkie, for in
stance, has been helped by the
platform pranks, for his speeches
from the beginning have been
exactly in line with the spirit and
objectives of the platform just COM
pleted
AS for domestic issues, the plat
form is rather ingenious. Its brevity
is virtue because in general state
ment there is political strength
whereas in specific statement there
is often embarrassment. The labor
plank is far more progressive than
. had been expected. The declara-
ton in favor of sound collective
bargaining" is unqualified and there
is a pointed reference to the recent
disclosures concerning the malad-
. ministration of the National Labor
Relations Act by the board. Amend
