reported to the House, which eX-
presses the sentiment of Congress
in support of some kind of interna-
tional machinery to preserve the
peace.
1t is Gov. Dewey's contention that
the COP should adopt a strong
postwar foreign policy and let the
country know what it is. 1t is his
further contention that so far the
Roosevelt administration has not
put forward such a policy. why
not be flrst?" he asks.
Gov. Kelley of Michigan, before
he left Columbus to return to De-
troit because of the rioting there,
also placed himself on record as
favoring some action by the United
States, through international CO.
operation, to maintain world peace,
even to the extent of using force
He said he was not prepared to
say what kind of machinery should
be set up-or just what kind of an
agreement should be entered into.
Warren No Isolationist.
Until the war is won and world
conditions are more clarified, he
said, it would not be possible to
draft specific plan. Also, he said,
he had been so busy with problems
and the problems of the home front
it had not been possible for him to
give the necessary time for a study
of the probable postwar foreign sit
uation and the attitude that this
country should take.
Gov. Warren of California, dis
cussing the question of Americas
future foreign policy, said he def
nitely was not an isolationist." He
said, too, that he was convinced the
United Nations would have to police
the world for sometime, and that
this would not be possible II the
United States did not take its part.
He was, he said. not ready to dis
cuss in detail at this time the agree
ment into which this country should
enter, or to say whether it should
go beyond the proposal 10 police
the world in the interest of peace.
There are two thoughts on the
method by which this country and
the other United Nations should
undertake to maintain peace after
the war. One calls for the estab-
lishment Of an international police
force. The other would have the in
dividual nation agree to act, with
its own forces, under a given set
OF circumstances, along with the
forces of the other nations, to en-
force peace.
The Postwar Advisory Council is
intended to help The 1914 Republican
National Convention to write a party
platform. 1t will deal with domestic
issues, such as labor, free enterprise,
Government finances and agricul-
ture, as we'll as with the foreign
relations of the country. It has. how
ever, a particularly important duty
to perform for the COP, If it can. in
the last field. The party has been
divided in the past over foreign
policy. If this division can be
eliminated, a long step will have
oeen taken, in the opinion OF the
Governors, toward a united front
Tor next years elections.
Gov. Baldwin of Connecticut Is
one OF those who believe that the
Republican party can aid materially
IN making the country world con-
sclous-With view to steps which
Will prevent a third world war. He
subscribes 100 per cent to the pro-
posal that the party shall adopt a
policy, as definite as possible-calling
for international cooperation after
the war.
He said that he did not believe It
would be wise at this time to at
tempt to write a blueprint of the or
ganization or machinery which will
be necessary to carry out this pol
Icy. I'VE should be ready when the
time comes" he said.
He and others have been particu-
larly Impressed by the apparent
change of sentiment in the Midwest
toward a policy Of international CO.
