Republican, of Minnesota In a state.
ment to the st. Paul Pioneer Pres.

who had campaigned for the nom-

in his statement, given in response
to query by the Pioneer Press:
1T is my deep conviction that the
foreign policy of the United States
particularly our firm intention to
join with our present Allies in estab-
fishing a strong and effective inter-
national organization having real
authority and power to maintain
peace, is by far the greatest issue
facing the American people in the
November 7 election.
"The lives of future generations
and security of our liberties are at
stake.
Issue Called Most Important.
THAT issue is far more important
than the political success or failure
of any party or person.
Il have read or listened TO all ol
Gov. Dewey's speeches and state.
ments to date. He has not yet con-
vinced me that his own convictions
on this issue are so strong that he
would fight vigorously for a foreign
policy which will offer real hope
of preventing World War III
against the inevitable opposition te
such policy.
THAT being the case, I woulc
violate my own deepest conviction
If l were at this time to try tc
campaign for Gov. Dewey.
Il shall instead, devote myself tc
discussing the issue of foreign policy
and stressing its Importance to the
future of America at every oppor-
tunity, trusting in the peoples judg
ment on November 7, to make the
right decision for America.
Terms Decision His Own.
This Is strictly personal de.
cision by myself alone. l am making
this statement because Of repeated
inquiries as to my plans in this cam.
paign and because 1 believe the peo.
pie of Minnesota who elected me
are entitled to a frank and honest
statement of my position and my
reason therefore"
