ress. Experts Of both parties
and members of the Senate Of
both parties are now comforting
and will continue TO confer on
the work In progress.
So long as have anything 10
say about il / shall insist on two
things. First that the American
people shall be fully informed Of
our efforts 10 achieve and TO keep
the peace. Secondly, these mat
tiers shall never be subjects for
partisan political advantage by
any individual. or by any party
either in or out Of power.
PREVENTING WARS
Tonight I want 10 discuss few
OF the many aspects of the prob
lem Of preventing future wars.
There are, at once. two different
things 10 be done. One deals with
the immediate problems of victory
and the other with the long-term.
problems of organized
peace. Work on both should 60
ahead right now. But they are
different problems entirely.
Let us consider first the i'm
mediate problems OF victory.
! haze long and repeatedly
insisted that phsr the period Of
actual combat il oDsr, vs must
continue eioss cooperation
among the four great powsrs,
the United States, Great Britain,
Russia and China. The disarmd-
nent Of Germany and Jopon-
q disormdmsnt that must render
them poUertsss TO rensW dsgrss.
sion-is primarily a response
biiity Of the victorious Allies.
What must be done TO carry out
that responsibility?
First, the military defeat of
Germany and Japan must be
complete and crushing. Ger
many must never again suffer
the delusion that she could
have won. japan must be ut
terIy beaten. The people-not
just the leaders--of those ma
tons must be taught to see and
to believe that war does not
pay.

Dewey was TO visit Michigan,
we decided that II 10 was at all
possible, we would arrange to
have you Republican leaders
meet him personally.
"Such a visit has materialiZed.
That Is why you are In Lansing
and later in the day will have
your own personal conferences
with the man we all expect will
he the next President of the
United States.
II am sure you will be Inn
pressed by Gov. Dewey.
II have known him for some
time and have had several OPP
portunities to talk with him
recently. When 1 returned from
the conference Of 90 Republican
governors In st. Louis, issued
n public statement which I be-
lieve would be concurred In by
all present on that occasion.
DEWEY CALLED ABLE
"The conference was, In my
opinion, marked by the unusual
executive ability Of Gov. Dewey.
He encouraged participation and
complete expression OF views by
every member but kept the dis
eussion unerringfy directed to-
ward the heart Of the target.
'His thoroughness, fairness,
untiring efforts and insistence
that conclusions be justified by
facts won the complete admira-
tion and confidence of every
governor assembled.
"He more than Justified his
previously won reputation OF not
indicting until he had evidence
sustaining that Indictment
through to n verdict and con-
viction."
MEASURES Up TO JOB
Declaring that Dewey was the
man who in the trying days ahead
completely measures up 10 the
task of chief executive Of the
United States, the governor
added
IT am confident that " the
people of Michigan will realize
the Importance OF exercising
one Of the great privileges Of
citizenship-the privilege OF
having a voice In the selection
get back from the army, I'll put
them into little business we have
in mind. just because their old
man got two chances doesn't mean
they will. So I'm going to put
them on the right track the first
time up"
Joe is rich all right-rich in ex-
perience rich in spirit and the
curve Of his ambitions and his
hopes is still upward.
II is dlwdw easy TO think up
reasons uhy the other fello,O should
be tolerant.

The homecoming of Owosso's

for civic officials who have sought
vainly 10 find accommodations for
the visitors streaming into the city.
State police and state troops have
been summoned TO help handle
traffic and keep the crowds in
order.

mar the carefully planned recep-
