of Minnesota who led the fight for
Wilkes nomination in 1910 at
the COP convention. wrote a 1ery
cool review in the New York
Times.
Calling for an end of exploita-
ton of other peoples and equality
for all the United Nations, Will
kie writes:
COMMON COUNCIL
what we need is council to-
day of the United Nations -
common council in which all plan
together, not council of a few
who direct or merely aid others,
as they think wise. We must
have a council of grand military
strategy on which all nations that
are bearing the brunt of the fight
ing are represented. Perhaps we
might even learn something from
the Chinese, who with so little
have fought so well, so long. Or
from the Russians who have re-
Gently seemed to know something
the art of war.
"He must have a common
council to amalgamate the eco
nomic strength of the United Ma
tions toward total war production
an to study Jointly the possibili-
ties of future economic coopera-
ton. ;,
"And most important of all, as
United Nations, we must formu-
late now the principles which will
govern our actions as we move
step by step TO the freeing of the
conquered countries -. other
wise we will find ourselves NOV
ing from one expediency to an
other sowing the seeds of future1
discontents - racial, religious,
optical - not alone among the
peoples we seek to free, but even
among the United Nations :"
HITS DISCRIMINATION
WILKES is emphatic in de-
nouncing what he calls domestic
Imperialism discrimination
against and prosecution of racial,
religious and political minorities.
He demands that anti-Semitism
and anti-Negro practices be done
away with not only for humani-1
tiarian reasons but for victory.
"Our very proclamations," Will
kie writes, "of what we are fight
ing for have rendered our own in
equities self-evident. When we
talk of freedom and opportunity
for all nations, the mocking para
doxes in our own society become
so clear they can no longer be
ignored. If we want to talk about
freedom, we must mean freedom
for others as we'll as ourselves,
and we must mean freedom for
everyone inside our frontiers as
we'll as outside"
Wilkes 31,000-mile trip took
him to Egypt, the Middle East,
the Soviet Union and China. He
was profoundly shocked by the
poverty, disease and illiteracy he
found in the colonial and semi
colonial countries, and he was
equally impressed by the growing
independence and self-reliance of
the Oriental people.
DOESN'S FEAR SOVIETS
AS a capitalist, he disagrees
with the social methods of the
Soviet Union but he is candid in
admitting that they work, and he
is not at all afraid of the Com
munist party DOGGY that has been
used so effectively by Hitler.
NO." Willkie says, 1--WE do not
need to fear Russia. We need to
learn to work with her against
our common enemy. Hitler. We
need to learn to work with her
in the world after the war. For
Russia is a dynamic country, vi
tai new society, a force that can
not be bypassed in any future
world"
China's magnificent struggle
