foreign policy contained little to
comfort an isolationist, unless it be
his plea that, whatever the diff
culties, We must not be diverted
from our goal by the rreconcilables
of either camp" He followed up this
appeal to both sides to seek a unihed
stand by reminding them Of the
robot bombs now being dropped on
England. Earlier in the speech ne
had warned that if a third world
war is permitted to start the robot
bombs would make the world still
smaller, and this country would md
itself In the front lines in the very
first hour"
mo single nation can make itself
impregnable to attack" Gov. Dewey
continued We can no longer rely
solely upon our own defenses or
upon our own love OF peace We
can and we must have a world or
ganization to prevent future wars"
Near the end he said, individuals
must have convictions but if any OF
us insists on exactly what he wants
or nothing, We will get nothing, and
that would be the greatest disaster
the human race has ever suffered"
Gov. Dewey appeared to have
answered two Of the three questions
Senator Ball, Republican, of Min
nesota recently put to both presi-
Dental candidates. One was wheth-
er they favored establishing the
world organization without waiting
for final peace settlements in Europe
or Asia. Gov Dewey said it should
not wait upon final victory" but
should go forward as rapidly as
possible.
Answer 10 Second Question
The second question was whether
they would oppose any reservations
that would weaken the organiza-
tion's power to prevent future ag-
gression. Gov. Dewey said last
night:
We must make certain that our
participation in this world organiza-
ton is not subjected to reservations
that would nullify the power of that
organization to maintain peace and
to halt future aggression. The
surest way to invite disaster is to
insist that everything must be per-
feet from the start. Human prog
ress is not made in that way and
this is a profoundly human prob
lem"
Senator Balls third question was
whether the vote of the United
States representative on the Secur-
ity Council should commit an
agreed upon quota of armed forces
to action to prevent aggression
without further congressional ap-
proval. Gov. Dewey did not refer
specifically to this question, which
may become one of the main points
Of controversy in Congress. He did,
however, make this general refer
ence to unsettled details;
Important matters remain to be
worked out. 1t would be profound
tragedy if, after having reached a
broad general area of agreement on
the major principles, we should now
fall to impatient quarreling over
things still to be settled"
Extremists Miss Point.
The Republican nominee summed
up his desire to see the American
people overcome their divergent
opinions in order to get the world
organization started, in these words:
There are already those among
us who want to attack the work
that was done at Dumbarton Oaks
because it did not go far enough.
There are others, equally vehement,
who are fearful that the plans 60
too far, extremists on both sides
have missed the point
"The important point is that a
beginning has been made. Let us
remember that achievement can only
be reached through agreement
agreement between the Executive
and Congress-agreement among our
people - agreement not merely
among the three most powerful ma
tions, but among some go nations
which must join in this endeavor for
it to succeed.
"It is imperative that the small
nations of the world be brought into
full partnership in this work now
and not later. World opinion, in the
final analysis. Is essential to con-
tinuing success. Force, without JUS
tice, can never preserve peace. The
treatment of small nations is the
test Of the conscience of civilization.
They should have equal share in
these labors from the start"
In attacking the President for
handling foreign affairs directly in
stead of through the State Depart
ment, Gov. Dewey sought to draw q
comparison with earlier Republican
administrations by citing the dip
lomatic careers of Secretaries of
State Blaine, Hay, Root, Hughes,
Kellogg and Stimson (now Secre-
tary of War in President Roosevelt's
cabinet.
