his unqualified approval.
Among those who, in addition to
Senator Vandenberg and Gov. Thye,
will present foreign relations planks
for consideration of the council, are
Senator Austin, regarded as inter-
national minded; Senator Taft of
Ohio, Gov. Bricker of Ohio and
Clarence Buddington Kelland, Re-
publican National Committeeman
for Arizona. Mr.. Kelland recently
put his proposal forward. 1t in
cludes definite alliances if necessary
with other nations, and the mainte-
nance of strong Army and Navy,
and the retention of military bases
in all parts of the world to protect
America.
Bricker's Stand in Doubt.
Regarding foreign policies, Gov.
Bricker said:
The principles in the field of
foreign policies should not be buried
under cloudy generalities. They are
simply stated in the proposition that
America is not alone in the world
and that it is vitality concerned in
the lasting peace preserved through
international cooperation"
1t is clear, however, that the Ohio
Governor still leaves in doubt Just
what his stand will be during the
council sessions.
Gov. Bricker did not limit him.
self to the question of foreign pol
icy, however.
There has grown in recent years,
he said, "a bureaucracy which at
tempts to superimpose the power of
government over the individual in
his daily life and the conduct of his
business. '194iV as
When political power or the per-
petuation in Office of President be-
comes the motivating factor in gov.
ernment, our liberties are imperiled."
He added that the principles of a
single term, if adopted, would "re-
store and safeguard the control Of
the government of this country to
the people and would curb the ever
lasting expansion of bureaucratic
power, would cut the cost of gov
ernment and would assure the peo-
pie of the United States and the
world that this is truly a seIf-goy-
erning nation
In any campaign for reelection
Gov. Bricker asserted, "the Presi-
oent, with the control of millions of
federal employees, is given an undue
ana improper advantage of millions
OF selfishly directed votes"
Ideals on Vote for District.
Gov. Bricker cracked down an
the idea that the people of the Dis
trict OF Columbia should be per-
mitted to vote. He said:
This proposal is consistent with
the thought that citizens of the Dis
trict of Columbia, largely Federal
employees, should not vote. The Fed
eral employees should be the sery-
ant OF the people of our country
and not the directors of their des-
tiny. The principles of a single
term, If adopted, would restore and
safeguard the control of the Gov
ernment of this country to the peo-
pie and would curb the everlasting
expansion of bureaucratic power
would cut the cost of government
and would assure the people of the
United States and the world that
this is a truly self-government Ma
ton"
Generally speaking the members
OF the postwar council are expected
to get together on domestic issues
without much trouble. How thev
will react to the single term propo-
sition of Gov. Bricker, however,
remains to be seen. 1t is obvious it
never would have been offered had
not President Roosevelt been lected
to third term, and is regarded as
| a likely candidate for fourth.
Nearly all of the Republican presi-
Dental possibilities will be here for
the council meeting except Mr..
| Willkie and Gen. Macarthur. With
a few exceptions the "a Republican
Governors, including Bricker, Dewey
OF New York, Warren of California,
Saltonstall of Massachusetts and
Baldwin of Connecticut, will be here.
The council also includes five Re-
publican Senators, dozen members
of the House and half dozen mem
bers of the National Committee.
Chairman Spangler will preside as
chairman of the council.
The Republicans are meeting on
an island which is both historic and
which still uses only horse drawn
vehicles.
One of the Republicans said, It
hope the party will not be accused
OF returning to the horse and buggy
days"
