tions can decide" the governor said
That will have to be worked out
but I am entirely convinced that
naturalization of the Ruhr as an ef-
fective producer of armament is an
essential peace objective. That ques-
ton is complicated by the fact that
it is Europe'S greatest mass producer
The benefits have to be available to
all countries of Europe, while as a
prime objective it must forever be
forbidden to make military weapons
for use by a revived aggressive Ger
many"
Gov. Dewey also declared the eco
nomic rehabilitation of Europe is
essential, and continued:
1T has been well put that Europe
is like fire trap. 1t burned down
Is years ago with great loss of life
Instead of building a better struc-
ture at Versailles, the same fire
trap was put back. Now 1t has
burned down again with even
greater loss of life.
Certainly this time we don't want
to build a third fire trap, SO one OF
the very important objectives must
be to remove many of the causes OF
trouble - diverse and numerous
High on the list is the fact that
350, ,000,0 900 people are divided ur
into rs water-tight compartments
not one of which Is self sufficient
"One of the prime objectives must
be to build for better opportunity
for economic expansion and larger
markets between European nations.
Task for Commission.
Gov. Dewey suggested that super
vising Of German industry to pre-.
vent the building of another wal
machine would be the task of q
commission, directed at the start
by the victorious powers.
1T would be a great, if not impos.
sible physical achievement, but ir
any event, it would be the duty
first of the victorious powers anc
then of the international organi.
zation, through a commission te
supervise German industry. ano
prevent that possibility for at least
Is and possibly so years." the
governor explained.
The problem of demilitarizing
Japan is different, the Governor
said, continuing:
THE arms producing industry of
Japan serves substantially only
Japan and the problem there will
be, again, to see through a commits
sion-flrst of such victorious powers
as are appropriate. and later of the
international organization - that
the production can be used only
for peacetime goods"
Gov. Dewey said he and his ad-
visers discussed the necessity OF
separating the immediate problem
of disarming Germany and Japan
from the building Of a permanent
world organization. He said it is
important that both undertakings
go forward simultaneously, and
that the problems Of one not impede
the progress of the other.
Full Cooperation Urged.
One of the strongest statements
the Republican nominee has made
for full cooperation with the rest
OF the world came when he said:
1T is obvious that our influence
in the world is for peace. Yet twice
because of close relationships that
exist all over the world we have been
drawn into what started out as a
European war. We have tremen-
dous stake in building so success
fully that war can be prevented. The
only way we can have enough in
fluence to that end is by re-estab-
fishing moral leadership and re-
gaining our domestic strength"
The Governor also declared it is
essential that after the war "our
business, agriculture and industry
go forward with full production and
not limp along with 10000, 900 un-
employed as it did for 10 years be-
fore the war"
Gov. Dewey stressed the import
ance Of keeping the American
people fully informed and to ascer-
tain every shade of opinion, so
that this time we will have agree
ment and not mere compromise"
