termined step in national prepared
ness, fifth column defense, domestic
economic welfare, and governmental
effectiveness and integrity. On each
OF these fronts, he asserted, the
Roosevelt administration has failed.
First OratOry
The keynote speech was the first
oratorical splurgc Of the convention,
the morning having been given over
to the job of starting the unWleldy
machinery into motion.
BY the time the converting hour OF
the night session arrived, the huge
auditorium, its blue and white state
standards topped with paper ele-
plants holding tiny flags aloft in
their trunks. and doubIc-tiered horse
shoe balconies. was filling rapidly.
The galleries were much more
crowded than in the morning.
Touching on foreign policy, Stas-
sen said in his prepared speech that
future welfare cannot best be serV-
ed by simply burying our heads IN
the sand" but he added:
1--WE are too Woefully weak to give
the allies that material assistance
this nation wants to give them.
LET us determine and define
where our interests lie," he urged.
"Clearly in the first instance they
lie in this hemisphere.
"We cannot permit an armed force,
aggressive in nature, with phil
osophy foreign to ours to establish
itself upon this hemisphere. Neither
can we allow subVersiVe elements
linked to alien aggressors to under
mine government anywhere on this
hemisphere.
at is essential that we plan in
advance and take decisive steps to
establish hemisphere defense"
Says Change Needed
Stassen mentioned President RooSe-
velt's selection of Frank Knox ano
Henry l.. Stimson, prominent Re
publicans, to cabinet posts.
"By the politically timed appoint
ment on Tie eve of this convention
of two men of our party to these
cabinet posts" he said. "the Presi-
dent made an 18th hour confession
