Mr.. Willkie as their party leader.
The prevailing opinion of these
people, it was stated, is that "Willkie
ruined his own chances of election
and put all Republican candidates
for Congress in a bad hole by his
blanket Endorsement Of New Deal
policies"
The answer to this contention
from the Willkie camp was prompt
and emphatic. 1t is that Mr.. Willkie
believes his defeat was caused by
the reactionary and unrealistic poll
cies of the Republican congressional
representation, and this particularly
on four counts.
First, opposition to conscription.
Second, laggardness in providing
aid to Great Britain.
Third, its record of obstruction to
national defense appropriations, ef-
fectively exploited by President
Roosevelt in his campaign speeches
Fourth, an anti-liberal point OF
view on virtually all domestic ques-
tions.
"Sniping Tactics" Scored.
The Willkie thesis is that great
number of independent voters gener-
ally inclined toward the Republican
party turned against it because OF
a lack Of confidence in its fitness to
handle the acute problems facing
the Nation, engendered by the snip
ing tactics" of Republican congress
sional leaders. This, it is held, was
demonstrated by the falling of in
the party's vote in normally Repub.
lican territory throughout the New
England and Middle-Atlantic States
and, to a less extent, in the Middle
West.
On all of the points above enum-
Grated Mr.. Willkie clearly intends
to continue to fight, even If this in
wolves an open clash with Republi-
cans in Congress. And that isn't
all. He believes that "old guard
domination Of the party. which still
persists in some States, Is too great
load for any Republican >presi-
dental candidate to carry success
fully. One outstanding example on
the latter score was the overwhelm-
ing reputation at the Pennsylvania
polls Of the Pew-Weir leadership
after its two years of control Of the
State administration.
The Republican party in Penn
sylvania, it is contended. never can
stage a real comeback until its over
lords are displaced and it is rebuilt
from the bottom up instead of from
the top down. 1t is significant in
this connection that Representative
j. william Otter, chairman of the
Republican National Congressional
Committee, with whom Mr. Willkie
clashed frequently in the course OF
the campaign, is Pew-Weir hench-
man.
Sees Need for Change.
Mr.. Willkie is pictured as hope
full that the Republican party can
be reconstructed in the months
ahead because he regards 1t as the
only presently available nucleus OF
an effective and forward looking
opposition"
He believes, however, that, the
power of this opposition rests in
the $4,000 900 voters who created it
and that it will grow in public con-
fidence only if Republicans in Con-
gress accurately reflect the view
