expression of their concepts Of pub
lie policy.
Mr.. Willkie can be an influential
factor in the making of public opin-
ion if he remains on the sidelines
and makes an occasional speech, but
he will find himself merely spec
tator and not participant, as party
policy is made by the Republicans
in Congress in the same hit-or-miss
fashion that has been SO charac-
teristic Of the minority in the past
when the Democrats as well as the
Republicans have been out of power
There is another task which Mr..
Willkie cannot hope to accomplish
If he takes a job in business and
retires to private life between elec-
tions. 1t is the retention on the op-
position side of the millions who
came from the Democratic party
and who do not wish to become
members Of the Republican party
at all These millions, so many of
whom formed or joined the Willkie
clubs, may find an opportunity to
continue under what may be called
the Thomas Jefferson Club, but this

power. But, in the case of Vichy,
things stand at the opposite. The
totalitarian legislation coupled with
policy of association with the vic
tor is described as an end In itself.
The moral regeneration Of the coun-
try, and as a consequence, the ter
rible military defeat suffered six
months ago is implicitly held forth
as price which was not excessive
to pay for such boon. Only the
zealots of counter-revolution Ga fac
ton Of the French people, can rest
satisfied with that state of affairs.
In Germany, the builders of the
totalitarian regime were those who
had Indignantly denounced the
Armistice of November, 1918. In
France, the reformers of the coun-
try bear full responsibility for the
abandonment of the struggle by the
French fleet and the French en-
pire; they behaved last May and
June, in the same way as, in the
words of Hitler, the Marxists, liber-
ais and Jews behaved Under Will
helm II and the Weimar republic.
No wonder, then, that pro-British
feelings so spread in metropolitan
France Il have already quoted what
some projects, the officials who rep
resent the central government in
the provinces have to say about it,
and. to a still greater extent, in the
oversee empire where, after all, as
long as the British dominate the
sea, the French flag will be flown
Moroccan Outlook Changed.
Indications are now at hand about
the reversal of the public trend in
French Morocco. Out of hate for
the popular front of Leon Blum,
the French settlers there were dis
tinctly pro-Fascist in the last few
years and very loud in the praise
they showered upon Gen. Francisco
Franco. But since last July, when
they learned that 10000 Spanish
troops gathered close to the from
tiers Of the French protectorate,
ready to invade it on short notice,
their outlook has fundamentally
changed.
Recently, Gen. Maxine Weygand
addressed a large group of officers
and he harped upon the theme that
any foreign troops infringing upon
French soil would be thrown out.
He told friend that, having seen
Frances African empire with his
own eyes, he understood today what
it meant to the whole nation. With
all that, he doesn't want to retrace
his steps as regards England and he
still persists, apparently, in placing
Germans, and Italians Ito whom he
referred contemptuosuly, in the
same category as British. A very
illogical attitude, indeed He tries
to buy supplies because all govern
ment stocks are running so low and
an envoy of his is now in the United
States for that purpose. Yet, he re-
fuses to perceive that he can only
get them with British good will and
assistance and that, once valuable,
they would be Of no avail If the
British navy ceased to rule the
waves:

ties which was first apparent when
tradition was swept aside and Wen
dell Willkie was nominated and
later verified when millions who
never before voted the Republican
ticket abandoned their own ira
ditions of a limetime to join his
cause.
About a week ago in the United
States News this correspondent
wrote an editorial suggesting that
Mr.. Willkia brush aside tradition
and precedent himself by accepting
the chairmanship of the Republican
National Committee. The letters OF
comment which have since been
received are symptomatic of what
might we'll De called a revolution in
side the Republican as well as in
side the Democratic parties. The
people are not going to be content
to let the So-called party organiza-
ton of the Republican party express
what was and still Is In the minds OF
the Willkie voters. They still feel
at least many of them say so-a GER
tain disappointment with the record
of the Republicans in Congress in
the last two years and insist that
until there is harmony between the
Republicans inside of and outside
of Congress there can be little ac-
complished toward Republican
effectiveness as an opposition party
The Work He'd Do.
To the argument that the chair
manship of the Republican National
Committee has never been anything
but an organization managership in
the past without real relationship
to party leadership, the answer
comes that a true leader in the
post would make the job mean
leadership in a broader sense for
party principles and party activity.
1t would not be necessary for the
new chairman to operate the ma
chinery of the party or to engage
in the detailed work which is neces-
sary to the proper building OF a
party mechanism. An executive di-
rector could do that work and it has
been suggested that David ingalls,
of Cleveland, who was Senator Taft'S
manager at the last national con-
vention, would be the ideal selection
for that position.
What Is needed now more than
ever before is a leader in the chair
manship of the party who could call
conferences between Senate and
Dny,tiHitrooc tn ~ fhof
there was full and free discussion
on party positions to be assumed on
pending legislation and establish
some sense of responsibility on the
part of the Republicans for ma
tional rather than local viewpoint.
Again and again party strategy in
Congress has been the sum total OF
many local viewpoints. Little thought
has been given to the party's pres
tige in a national sense Thus the
Republican party voted almost SOL
idly in the House last year against
the repeal Of the arms ambargo and
this record was powerful factor in
turning thousands of independent
voters from the Willkie standard
for they said he might be pro-Ally
himself but he would have behind
him a Congress of Republican iso-
lationists.
Would Command Respect.
A defeated party nominee for the
presidency is called a titular leader
and, unfortunately, he exercises lit
tie influence. But If he became
chairman of the national committee
his views would command respect
and he at least would be able to
bring about party conferences in the
common interest of the party men,

Congress might be brought for the

French metropolis; and that they
should dare to set up a rival ad-
ministration.
| Since last summer Pierre Laval,
the vice president of the council,
has been hard at work, warding
of that danger. Now Marshal Pc
tain and his minister have some
thing very different to be afraid Of.
The Partisan population, long
stunned by the tragic developments
in the spring, sets its hope on a
British victory and does not con-
ceal its feelings. The noisy demon
Strations which occurred on Armis-
tice Day around the Arc de Tri-
omphe and on the Champs Elysees,
clearly showed how the wind is
blowing.
They were ruthlessly suppressed
by the police squads of the Ger
man Army, and several young men
fell dead on the pavement. The
fact remains that for the first time
since the fall of France French
patriotism burst out.
Eager IOr DemOnStrAtlOn.
The government is eager to bring
about a popular demonstration of
another kind, a demonstration of
loyalty to the old soldier, and to
repeat the moving scenes in Tou-
louise and Lyon when the chief of
the French state appeared before
the crowds, holding the tricolor to
his breast. To them, the govern
ment believes, two sets of political
advantage would accrue.
On the one hand the Parisians
would not any more see the govern
ment as the tool of the invader as
sentimental attachment to the per-
sonality Of Marshal Petain de-
veloped. On the other hand. Laval
would feel able to tell the Ger
mans that, were a Berlin-Vichy
agreement to be arrived at, they
need not have any uneasiness about
the good to be delivered in time.
Meanwhile, the argument is be-
ing pressed upon them that If
French patriotism does not run into
a channel where it can be kept un-
der careful control, it Is bound to
rebound more and more to the ad-
vantage of the British cause.
Whereas a final transfer of the seat
OF the government from Vichy to
Paris is out of the question, for the
present, as it can only be the out
| come of an understanding which is
not yet in evidence, the journey of
Marshal Petain must be conceded
as minimum of direct usefulness
to both parties.
Reasons Easy to Find.
All the odds are that those CAL
culations made by the controlled
rulers of unoccupied France will be
disappointed and it is easy to find
good reasons for it. This one is
enough. The slogans and institu-
tions of National Socialism and
Fascism carried some appeal to the
masses in Germany and Italy, in
the initial years, because they gave
forcible expression to the collec-
tive impulse for revenge and sup
piled with an outlet the movement
against the peace treaties then COM
monty denounced as unreconcilable
with the supreme interest and self
respect of the vanquished nations.
Those slogans and institutions
were, therefore, considered as means
toward an end. That is, the re-
habilitation of national honor and

If the name of the Republican
party is to be changed to Consti-

so as to enable the two-party sys-

then the Republican national organ

because it controls the party ma

There are many important prob
