During every campaign, the po-
littcal parties put various trained
seals on the air to inform the peo-
pie on the virtues of the candidates
an the high ideals for which they
stand. Often famous commenta-
tors and writer's rise to debate the
issues and to speak in the name
OF the candidates. | recall such a
debate in 1910 when Dorothy
Thompson and Glare Luce went
their various ways on the ether
beams. But Dorothy Thompson
could not speak for Franklin d.
Roosevelt nor Clare Luce for Wen.
dell Willkie. Only Roosevelt could
speak for himself and only Willkie
di'.
In this campaign, the issues are
frighteningly serious because they
involve directly and keenly the
futures and lives Of our children.
There is no begging this. There
fore, those who speak must bear
the responsibility Of their words
and only those who are legally re-
sponsible can make any promises.
Those words will be judged and
measured by the people on the basis
of who speaks them. A hired ora
tor, delivering himself OF synthetic
ally prepared copy, Is responsible
neither for the words nor for the
deeds which stem from those words.
IIe is often reading copy as you and
did when we studied elocution
in the primary grades.
There are exceptions. OF course.

But Rupert Hughes and H. V. Kali
tenborn and Lowell Thomas are
not the kind OF broadcasters that
political parties hire to save the
threats OF their candidates, and
even II they were, II would still not
be the same as the candidate speak
ing for himself.
And what we want from the can
didates are not campaign speeches
that are like whispers in a storm,
but succinct statements OF policy.

Naturally, there will be a citi-
zen's debate both in the press and
on the radio. And that citizens
debate will reflect public opinion.
My references in this article are
not to that. They are to the man
who stands before the microphone
and speaks with authority when he
cal have no responsibility, who
says what will be done when he
cannot possibly know. He is the
type OF commentator who speaks
the candidates intentions and
promises when actually they are no
obligation upon the candidate uu-
less he speaks them himself. In
a word, this Is another protest
against trickery and blun and
buncombe in this campaign. Sure
ly Governor Warren did not speak
at the Republican convention for
Tom Dewey, nor Governor Kerr at
the Democratic convention for
Franklin D. Roosevelt. Ultimate
ly each spoke for himself which
is as II should be.

BASIS OF PEACE

When t h e American people
clamor for a statement of clear
and purpcseful foreign policy.
there is something much deeper
than mere dissatisfaction with Of
ficialdom back of their cry. Mr..
Hull's seventeen points describe
official attitudes to which the
average citizen makes no particu-
larly violent objections. The clti.
zen looks upon them as he does
the experienced recommendations
his mechanic makes for keeping
the old "jalopy" on the road for
the duration. But all the time'the
mechanic is talking. the average
citizen knows very we'll that
what he really wants to hear is
a. announcement that he needs
a new car. He would also apprec.
late some suggestions for going
about getting one.
That is why the statement by
40 leading thinkers in the field
of international law. titled THE
International Law OF the Future
may come nearer to answering
the present clamor for a foreign
policy than the outline by the
Secretary of State. As the hour
for invasion comes nearer and
nearer, as its costs are appraised
and the magnitude of the affort
appreciated. the people ask ever
more insistently: What are We
going to do with the victory?"
So far there has been no officiaI
utterance to arouse the vigorous
idealism with which Woodow
Wilson g vision spurred the final
Allied efforts in World War One.
1t is this vigorous idealism that
the people want to feel again
the thought of something big to
be done, something big enough
to make I'D for the past and the
sacrifices that past now demands
of a new generation.
II would be hard to assemble a
more impressive roster of names
than that which occupies the first
pages of the plan for building the
foundations of world government
which was reported in this news
paper recently This is no parch-
