the blueprint stage. The ultimate
blueprint will be what we can work
out with these nations in mutual
accommodation. But first we must
discover a common ground on
which we can begin to build"
Scores Exclusive Alliances.
Worldwide peace will not be at
tanned, he asserted, by making ex-
elusive offensive and defensive alli-
ances between any two of the prin-
cipal allies" or alliances with one
rather than another of our major
allies"
Il can testify from personal OBJ
servation," Mr.. Willkie said, that
all the world turns to America for
leadership. Therefore, tentatively
hopefully, should like to see this
country exercise its utmost qualities
of leadership and moral force to
bring Great Britain, Russia, China
and the United States to a point
of understanding where they will
make a joint declaration of inten-
ton as preliminary to forming a
common council Of the United Ma
tlons and other friendly nations,
and eventually of all the nations.
Out of the practice of cooperation
and out Of the substance Of agree
ment will come our only chance to
realize mans hope for peace"
Fears Power Politics.
Mr.. Willkie said the goal of world
peace would be missed 'if America
tries to play hand at the old game
of power politics-a game which is
played always at the price of per-
manent peace and a game at which
we will find ourselves inept and
frustrated"
When the war is over, he said,
America, in its dealings both with
friends and vanquished foes, must
encourage and seek to work exclu-
sively with the forces that are
neither Nazi-tainted nor Fascist
tainted"
Turning to the domestic front, he
assailed "the palace guard" who
he said, "use their multiple power
of government to perpetuate the
leader from whom their Importance
stems"
Now even if I agreed with all
the policies of an administration
that has held such power for sc
long" he said, Il would think il
vital to terminate that power"
He added: Il furthermore be-
lieve that the ending of that power
is necessary not only for the preser-
vation and development of a free
society in the United States, but
for the hope of free society in the
world"
Warns Of Special Groups
But Mr.. Willkie cautioned the
Republican party that it will not
deserve leadership and cannot win
If it merely attempt to coalesce un-
der its banners the various negative
groups within the country"
He said that in formula ting its
policies the Republican party could
not afford ito yield to the special
pleas of self interested economic
pressure groups.
ut must find it's strength" he
said, mot, as does the present ad-
ministration,. in dividing and ruling
but in a national policy that unifies
the peoples. 1t must seek to make
America, after this war is over, a
land of ever-expanding opportunity
opportunity not just for a few
top men to make their fortunes with
the help of all other men, but op-
portunity for every man to work
to develop his abilities and to re-
ceive the rewards of his effort, eco
nomic, social or political"
Five-Point Program.
Mr.. Willkie outlined the following
f1ve-point program of measures fol
which the Republican party must
stand in order to bring about ex.
panding opportunity for every
American:
l. Elimination of "every wasteful
socially unnecessary expenditure Of
the peoples money" and postwar
modification of taxes on income.
2. Enforcement of present law.
and passage of new ones, if neces.
sary, ito make our system com.
pletely competitive"
3. Adoption of "wise labor pol.
icy,' not ''in the punitive spirit O.
the Southern Democrats Smith.
Connally Act" but recognizing thar
men who work and do not owl
have no adequate economic ane
social protection except in thei!
collective strength"
T. Adoption of "far-seeing pol
icy" on agriculture, recognizing tn,
necessity for soil conservation ant
the fact that the real hope of tn,
farmer lies not in an economy O
scarcity but in expanding markets.
5. Development of a method O
cooperative effort between indus
try and government" for the "mor,
orderly, long-term adjustment o
fluctuation in durable goods ex
penditures.
Nation Watching COP.
Mr.. Willkie advised the party tn,
public was watching it carefully.

with their present leadership" h,
