Wendell L. Willkie tonight de-

"the right course"
The right course" he said, would
be neither the paternalistic, regi-

of narrow nationalism and economic
toryism. Rather, it would embrace
encouragement of individual in
itiative, economic liberalism and
broad international cooperation to
maintain peace once it comes"
The American people, he asserted
are "magnificently organized and
fairly we'll united in war, but they
are afraid of the peace" of what will
happen after the war. They have
'lost their self-confidence after liv-
ing so long under paternalistic
Government which adopted a policy
of solving their problems for them

tiple directives and deficit spending,

own solutions.
