Midwest Nationalist View

Fear of EntangIements.
BY BAUKHAGE
NetUs Analyst and Commentator.

This was when Willkie, Governor
Edge of New Jersey and others
were demanding stronger language
in the plank, seeking to commit the
Republican party to more positive
postwar program of international CO.
operation.
That was finally avoided. Partly
by building up a world state"

partly by insisting on phrases capa-

-Bricker's acceptance Of the vice
presidential nomination-was really
a part Of the first, made In the
hope that Brokers middlewestern
atmosphere and DeWey's eastern fla
vor could produce a mixture pala-
table to all.
After the convention I set out to
look into this so-called midwest iso-
1atlon1sm, for when I first heard that
phrase they don't want to be iso-
lationist" I didn't quite know what
it meant. Later think found out.

Strong Nationalist
Feeling in Middle West

How strongly nationalist" the
Middle West is is not realized. One
Republican who has done as much
as any to try to work out a compro-
mise between the Wendell Willlzie
philosophy Of foreign relations and
the isolationist viewpoint said to me
when the tempest in the sub-com-
mittee drawing up the foreign pol
icy plank was having its fiercest con-
f1ict:
"You have no idea how the isola-
zionist sentiment out here has grown
in the last few weeks. These people
don't want to be isolationists but if
they are forced to go on record with
a choice they will choose that way"

Paratroopers Maneuver
Parachutes to Landing

Highly trained and skilled are
the marine paratroopers. Their
exit from fast-moving ships must
follow lightning precision to avoid
scattering" a unit.
While descending, the men not
only "steer" their chutes but also
control to a degree the speed of
their fall. By this manipulation a
unit can land within a small area,
and can often prevent landing in
water or in dangerous spots.

The flag over the White House lazi-
ly embraces its staff; squirrels and
starlings loaf on the wide lawn; the
east gate is still locked but the pac-
ing sentry is gone and only the
friendly White House police and Sc
cret service men guard the western
portal and scrutinize the credentials
Of visitors, most of whom they know.
There is mo admittance except on
business" but these days, as the
delegates to the Democratic national
convention meet in Chicago, much OF
the business" here, as elsewhere,
is politics.
Some things Of political signifi-
canoe have happened since the Re-
publicans chose their candidates in
the sweltering heat of the Chicago
Stadium, now warming the blood OF
their opponents.
There is one outstanding reason
for the need Of some very careful
planning on the part Of the admin
istration supporters even though
they feel confident that the country
will not "swap horses in the middle
Of a stream"
One veteran politician, ardently
anti-administration but too long a
laborer In the vineyard to let his
emotions run away with his hard
sense, said to me: This time the
Republicans have a ticket that the
people who don't want Roosevelt
can vote for" That seems faint
praise but it was not meant to be
damning.
Of course, you don't have to be a
cynic to admit that the vote which
usually wins presidential election
is a vote against the man or the
party in power. The preponderance
Of that vote is motivated by the
good old American idea that in gov
eminent, variety is the spice Of the
nations life. Since Hitler started on
the rampage purely artificial stu
alton has existed which tended to
nullify that natural trend. And the
one, big imponderable in the coming
election is the relative weight Of
those two ancient slogans throw
the rasca1s out" and don't swap
horses while crossing a stream"
Because the Republican leaders
realized this they tried to subordi-
nate all other efforts to the end Of
minimizing the Importance of any
thing which administration stands
for, which affects the war and inter-
national relations. That is why har-
mony was achieved as it was not
achieved at the Philadelphia con-
vention, and why the f1ercely con-
flicting forces were s1enced behind
closed doors leaving the delegates
on the floor as harmonious as Hay
den string quartet.
The real job was to keep the con-
vention from producing a foreign
plank which would anger the isola-
tionists, which would make it posi-
BILE for the Democrats to say, "as
far as world affairs go, you won't
benefit by making a change, and
you might affect the war, or the
peace"

An Honest Doubt
Of International Set-Up

I am not citing this family, normal
Republicans, for their economic
views, but to show what Midwest
isolationism is: namely, an honest
doubt that any strong international
organization which in any way "com-
mits" the United States to act in
the foreign field in close cooperation
with either Great Britain (who they
fear '1eads US by the nose'O or
Russia whom they regard as the
heather Chinee" of Bret Hart,
noted for ways that are dark
or worse.
This viewpoint is not the ostrich,
"head-in-the-sand" viewpoint, it is
an honest and deep and overshad-
owing doubt. And f'the intellectu-
ais feel that way consider how those
who don't get the "other side" feel,
to say nothing Of people like the ones
who tried to storm the Bricker head"
quarters at the convention, led by
the lunatic fringe Of the screaming
isolationists.
These people aren't worrying half
as much about not swapping horses
crossing stream as they are about
getting out Of the stream.
And so what the Democrats are
having to consider is this: to what
degree will this attitude affect the
large throw them OUT element and
thus overcome the don't throw
them out until we've got across the
river" feeling?
Democrats will tell you that they
have what they need: the liberals"
the labor vote, part Of the farmer
vote and enough of lust votes
the kind that kept Roosevelt in Of
fee after the protest-support which
put him in had worn off. I wouldn't
be surprised if that were true. But
there are many border-line Repub-
Leans, and discontinued, fair-weath-
er Democrats who may feel the way
my politician friend did when he
said there was a ticket which the
people who don't want Roosevelt
could vote for. /
At the present convention there
is a very careful consideration of
these factors. When Senator Pepper
of Florida, ardent New Dealer,
sounded the warning to the revolt
ing southern Democrats, he was,
perhaps, giving voice to deeper dis
tress. He said a split in the Demo-
cratic party would assure the cleo
ton Of Republican. What he may
have meant was that lot of folks
whose political feet are itching have
at last decided that most of the
"shootin's over" and they think it
is safe to hunt better ole"
