National and International Problems
Inseparable from Local Welfare

Today most minds are centered on
the job of winning this War-and that
is one of the biggest jobs that has
leone to any nation in the history of
mankind. At the same time, many men
fare thinking of that day when The war
will finally end and the equally vast
task of reconstruction must be started.
They are laying plans for this world
|of the future, based on the hope that
ways can be found to make interna-
tional peace and prosperity real and
permanent, instead of temporary and
illusory.
All Americans know what happened
latter the last war. 1t was the position
of President Wilson that this nation
must accept the responsibility of lead
ership in the world affairs, and he
believed that the League of Nations
was the proper instrument for the dis
charge of that responsibility. For good
|Or i'll, Mr.. Wilson could not win the
American Congress and the American
people to his side. He literally burned
himself out on Il national speaking
tour which proved to be an utter
lallure. ms nation was SICK Oh inter-
nationallsm and war. 1T wanted only
to mind it's own business and to man
age its OWL affairs. 1t had little in
tereSt i'll n went on beyond its
borders.
Now the situation is vastly different
in MANY WAYS. The Atlantic Charter
commits this nation to help III the re-
bulldlnS OF all the world. Inc Chartef,
IN principle, has been almost UNIVERSAL
y approVed-lnd"ed, the man criticism
of 1t Is that 1t does not go far enough.
Ana, perhaps more important sui, the
political opposition to the Administra-
tIon has formally placed Itself on rec
ora with Il policy which IS IL lar cry

yeSleryear.
At the end of the last war, the
strongest figure in the Republican
party was the able Senator Lodge, who
did more than any other man to block
Congressional approval of the League
of Nations. Now the dominant figure
in the party is Il man whose viewpoint
is genuinely int~crnationaliSt, Wendell
Willkie. 1t was Mr.. Willkie who car
=, ried the torch at the recent meeting
.Iof the Republican Policy Committee.
and who succeeded in having passed
resolutions which almost completely
embody his ideas.
