ALBANY, N. Y, April 17.-Former
Gov. ALT M. Landon of Kansas sped
westward today for visit with Gov
John w. Bricker of Ohio, after ex-
pressing confidence Republicans will
carry President Roosevelt's home
State of New York in 1914.
Gov. Bricker is regarded as a
strong possibility for the Republican
presidential nomination.
The unsuccessful 1886 COP candi-
date for President spent an hour last
night with Gov. Dewey, New York S
first Republican chief executive in
20 years, in what both termed a so
cial visit"
Mr.. Landon stopped in Albany
after New York City broadcast in
which he urged "a real and actual
and functioning war council" to help
the United States settle home front
problems.
hShS TOtItiCdl Onlty.
The chief administrative officials
of the country must have some place
where they can meet and settle their
difficulties" he said, 80 that they
can go about their business of win
ming the war without having to ma
neuver for their own particular poll
cies through publicity and wire pull
ing
In his CHS address, Mr.. Landon
also pleaded for political unity be-
hind the war effort, declaring: This
is not a New Deal war; this is not
Democratic war; it is not Repub-
lican war; it is Americas war"
Before visiting with Gov. Dewey.
Mr.. Landon told newspapermen that
Republican leaders with whom ne
had talked recently are convinced
the party will carry New York in
1914 He added
1T would be presumptuous for
me alone to express an opinion, after
three or four days in the State, on
what is going to happen Is or 18
months from now, but after talking
with them I would say so, too"
Raps "Muddling" on Home Front.
Stating that 1.-The military is doing
good job Mr. Landon added:
But on the home front We are
'muddling through this war. The
present administrative confusion
must stop, or it will cost the Amer
ican people dearly not only in dol
lars, but in misery and deep
tragedy"
Mr.. Landon pointed to the diff
Guilty of discussion of foreign poll
icy because of "the danger OF Great
ing rift in the coalition of the
United Nations" but said there are
certain things that must be faced"
He added:
There is too much inclinat ton at
the moment to pay attention to the
lace and ruff1es of our foreign prob
lens. BY this l mean such things
AS our Treasury's plan for a series
OF great international organizations
designed by ambitious and creamy
bureaucrats to impose on the world
a managed economy, the very thing
we are fighting.
There is too much inclination to
sneer at the simple, straightforward
rules which the experience of the
human race shows must not be vio-
lated"
COP Policy of Future.
OF the postwar role of the Repub-
llcan party, he said:
The Republican party must in
sist when this war is over that we
follow an international way of life
where the everyday virtues are as
strictly regarded in the relations be-
tween nations as they are between
man and man.
He declared that now is the time
for the United States to step into
the leadership of the world. Not
for imperialistic purposes, and not
in an imperialistic way.
Now is the time when, by simple
integrity, by straightforward flnan-
clal policies, by humane, honest and
decent consideration for the rights
of others. the United States must
lay the foundation for lasting and
durable peace"
