With U. 5. Taking Part
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, July Ex-senator
Austin, Republican, of Vermont
today told the Eastern confer
ence of the Republican Postwar
Policy Association that "again
and again we must assert =
that relative freedom and per-
nanent peace shall be imple-
mented by a world organization
to which the United States Of
America will contribute"
The association, the outgrowth of
meetings held in Chicago, is inter-
ested in drawing up foreign policy
plank for submission to the Repub-
lican party in the next presidential
campaign.
Representative Eaton, Republican,
OF New Jersey, another speaker,
termed "an American foreign policy
the most urgent public program
confronting our American people
and Government toGay." He de-
clared that unless we Americans
snap out of the hypnotic dreams
with which we have been deluding
ourselves mentally and morally to
do this job, what we are now suffer-
ing as an integral part OF a stricken
world will be a mere prelude to the
hell of ruin in which We will be en-
quilted by the unregulated floods of
world wide misery and failure"
Deneen Watson, 39-year- old Chi
cago attorney, presided and in key
note addresses urged Republicans
not to let our dislike of Mr.. Roose-
velt's policies blind us as we ap-
proach the question of international
cooperation"
Mr.. Watson asked the Resolutions
Committee of the conference to au-
thoriZe him to wait on Harrison
Spangler, chairman of the Republi-
can National Committee, Ito advise
him that it is the sense of this con-
vention that his advisory council
be asked to issue at an early date
a clear-cut statement pledging
Amrica and the Republican party to
international elaboration"
Senator Austin was one of several
hundred Republicans from New
York. Pennsylvania, New Jersey,
Maryland. Delaware, West Virginia
and the New England States who
attended the conference
After security, he said, should
come, in order, disarmament and
disorganization of the Axis forces:
disqualification of Germany, Italy
and Japan as manufacturers of war
implements: administration of firm
retributlve justice for war crimi-
nails: occupation of Axis lands with
forces to carry out the security
program: provision of maintenance
of armed forces at home, united
with corresponding forces in each of
the United Nations, to maintain
peace and order; decision whether
the force should be IAN integrated
world police army; decision
whether the obligation respecting
the sanction for. security be only a
promise"
Senator Austin singled out the
Republican Nationalist Revival, a
Chicago organization which has
asked Col. Robert R. Mccormick,
Chicago Tribune publisher, to per-
nit his name to be entered in the
Illinois preferential primary for
President, and included it in gen.
eral criticism. After stating that
the group he was addressing was
within the Republican party, he
added:
"Another also formed in Chicago
is soliciting membership and con-
Quoting a program founded on what
they call Republican Nationalist Re-
vival and claiming the Republican
party as the nationalist party in
America. Such movements are
menace to peace However, they
expose the fact that isolationism
still turks here and there. They
emphasize the necessity for your
activity"
representative Eaton asserted that
1--WE cannot exist as an island of
prosperity in an ocean Of adver-
sitv," and said:
Our first task is to clear away
the mass of mental and moral rub
hish which in our relation to for
eign affairs, especially since 1918,
has obstructed our vision. befuddled
our Judgment and neutralized our
action"
Mr.. Watson, in his keystone speech,
said that first Of all we owe it to
our country" not to permit dislike
of Roosevelt policies blind Repub-
licans on the question of interna-
,tional cooperation.
Secondly" he said lets be smart
political strategists for a change.
take it that we Republicans would
rather elect a Republican president
than simply vent our spleen on the
opposition candidate'
