Opposing Leaders Voice
Same thought TO America
Warning Given We Must
Face Climseiie Changes
lsolsiionism OF World
Should Not Be Repeated
Nv RAYMOND CLarrER
NasHI>Gro>-Two Amer
ear leaders from opposite sides
within the last few DAYS have
said the same thing in different
words. vioe-President Wallace
and Wendell winkie have both
made strong appeals to the
American people to follow a bold
course in carrying through the
war into the job OF organizing
the world afterward.
Wallace and NIllkle I'M
doubtedly will disagree about
many details. The import
ant fact Ia that these two
leaders in opposing political
parties are urging the same
fundamental outlook.
Last week Wallace told the
Free World association that a
worldwide revolution. beginning
$50 years ago. is still going on
and that we must prepare to face
many changes after this war as
the course of this peoples revo-
htion proceeds.
This week Willikie, in a COM
nencement address at Union
college. pleads with politicians
IN both political parties not to
sabotage the victory by repeat
Ing the isolationism that follow
cd the last war.
He makes the pointed warn
ing that men elected to congress
this year may well be holding
their offices when the peace is
being made and will have to de-
eide on much legislation concern
ing 1t. Mr.. Willkie pleads that
men who would make a mockery
OF the war sacrifice not be put
In office.
Victory, he says. will only
clear the way for the real task.
for then we must use the full
force of our influence and en-
hghtenment as a nation to plan
and establish continuing agen-
oies under which a new world
may develop = a world worth
the fight and sacrifice we shall
have made for il. Those are
wilkes words, and wise ones.
The whole American people is
going to school again. We won't
ke graduated this year. Nor
next year. All of us have TO
work at learning as hard as q
class Of young men trying to
complete an officers training
course In three months.
Your filling station owner Is
now learning that, unless those
Jsps around on the other side
Of the world are held in their
place, he can't run his filling
station. The enterprising young
man who went to South America
and built up a business finds
now that the ships he depended
On have been taken away be-
cause the American flag has TO
carry supplies to Russia, and his
business in South America folds.
American soldiers are In
the steaming jungles on the
other side of the world, the
daily routine OF millions Of
households has been upset,
owners of thousands Of busi-
nesees are either facing ruin
or are working under gov

esue Of what has happened
IN Europe and Asia. We
can't run our own hyes any
more unless Ne take . hand

He emphasized that Russia was
fighting only for liberation and
justice.
I'VE do not aim to occupy other
countries or conquer other people,
he said. Our aim Is clear and
noble. We want to liberate the So
