No Politics in War, Says COP!
Months ago, Chairman Joe Mar
tin assured the country that the
way to win the war was to elect
Republican Congress. Mr.. Kel-
land told us that such a Congress
would be super-efficient in the war
effort. Thomas E. Dewey, candi-
date hopeful for the Presidency,
solemnly declared that the Repub-
lican party is the sole bulwark
against the fatal one-party system.
Congressman Grant of Indiana
Grated that the greatest word of
encouragement which could go out
to a troubled world would be the
election of a Republican House of
Representative and Senator Cap
per told the Women's Republican
Club Of Washington that the new
America (after the war; would be
built around the Republican party.
For a wind-up, Senator Willis, in
keynoting the Indiana State Re-
publican Convention, pointed out,
with adequate scorn, that Presi-
dent Roosevelt had spent billions
of dollars in relief funds and pub
lie works. following his advent to
the White House in 1888, and ask
ed impressively why, if the Presi-
dent had been on the level as to
tn imminence of war and the neces-
sity for preparing for it, he had
not used that money to build up
war machine instead of squander-
ing it on combating unemployment
and providing food, etc, for the
destitute of the depression. period.
The Senator did not use just
these words but that was the impli-
cation of his grafton.
All told. these incidents and epi-
sodes make clear how devout and
sincere the Republicans are in
avoiding any possible linking Of
the war with their political activi-
ties, and demonstrate the total de-
pravity of the Democrats in sug-
gesting that the country would be
better served during the present
vast emergency with a Congress
of the same political faith as the
President than by an administra-
ton hampered by having to func-
ton with a hostile National Legis-
'aure.
