Edison League Of Nations
and q World Court. This Is the FIRST
thing you must get yourself thor.
oughly balled UP on, because the
Democrats have been advocating
this ever since the war began, and
to have the q. o. p. come out for
this now Is nothing more than
downright trickery, indeed to fool
the voters.
Franklin D. Roosevelt, after
spending his August vacation fish.
ing in Lake Huron, simply stayed
on In those parts until the Mack
mac Island conference was held.
Roosevelt appeared at this Mack
inac Island parley and called for an
outright union with Great Britain
in the postwar bye and bye. You
may have read that 1t was Governor
Thomas e. Dewey Of New York who
made this appeal, but don't be de-
ceived. No Republican would ever
do a thing like that. Roosevelt just
grew a r1ustache, and everybody
thought 1t was Dewey. Roosevelt is
the only avowed internationalist
would would dare come out for
Union now.
NO NEWS
It was Governor Bricker Of Ohio
who presided at that conference In
quebec. There is undeniable proof
Of this In the fact that no news
absolutely nothing - came out Of
the Quebec conference and the So
called Declaration Of Quebec did
MT say anything that everybody
didn't know already, anyway. OBJ
viously, Bricker must have been the
author.
Bricker also probably had some-
thing to do with the writing Of the
Declaration OF Mackinac, which
likewise doesn't mean much, II any
thing. The important thing to note
about the Mackinac Island confer
ence Is that the Republicans who
were there agreed on something,
even II 1t was nothing. Heretofore,
the Democrats and Republicans
alike have never been able to agree
among themselves on any issue that
arose, with the possible exception Of
this matter Of the regular re-elec-
ton Of Roosevelt. II the Repub-
licans are now going to upset this
precedent by starting to agree on
domestic and foreign policies, that
puts terrible burden on the Dem.
ocrats to start agreeing on things.
That will make 1t hard for the
voters to decide. AS long as there Is
confusion, you can make up your
mind which side Of the confusion
you want to be on. II there Is TO be
harmony. what difference does 1t
make which side you're on?
COULD BE:
The timing OF the surrender Of
Italy was probably Just another
dirty Democratic trick. Eisenhower
was told not to announce It, by you
know whom, till the day after the
Republicans made their Declaration
Of Mackinac, so that the news
would buried on the inside pages
and forgotten. This was O lucky
break the Republicans hadn't fig
ured on.
T Giving Prime Minister Winston
Churchill degree at Harvard was
another dirty Democratic trick. Su-
preme Court Justice Felix Frank
furter was the inside man who en-
gineered this deal. Now that
Churchill has a degree from Har-
ward, he Is eligible to become one Of
Frankfurter's hot dogs, one of
those bright young men the justice
has planted In key agencies all over
Washington. The real reason for
Harry Hopkins's moving out Of the
White House-he has at long last
signed a lease for q house In subur-
ban Georgetown, you know - Is
just to make room for Churchill.
who will then become the Pres
ident's No. brain truster.
BY this neat bit Of strategy, the
Republicans will be prevented from
running Churchill for president on
the G. o. p. ticket next fall.
Henry Wallace's nominating
Roosevelt for the job of permanent
! chairman Of the peace conference
leaves the Republicans only one
atlernative-to nominate Churchill
for the job This would be entirely
consistent with Dewey's platform for
Union Now.
This matter of being a political
expert Is easy, once you get the
hang Of it. But why do they pay
people for it?
