THE REPUBLICAN PARTY HAS
A DUTY TOO

- "
I nthe midst of this war the Re
publican party has a duty to perform
no less important than that OF the
party in power in the Nation. Its
Representatives in the Congress
should state frankly its postwar
aims, as it has stated its war aims.
Moreover. it should insist that the
democratic party in power state its
war aims.
Does the present ADMINISTRATION
stand upon the Atlantic Charter
the speech Of Vice Presidency Wal
lace, or the speech Of Under Secre-
tary of State Sumner Welles7 Or
shall the Republican party through
its representatives in Congress, de-
clare for a vigorous prosecution Of
the war and the winning of it, with
its aim of giving to all peoples and
colors and creeds equal opportunity
in the world.
We think the Republican party
should declare its aims and demand
that the party in power conform to
the principles they set forth, if they
are right and just.
Is the war being fought to win
democracy, in fact, for everyone in
every land? Will democracy be nx-
