TODAY and TOMORROW
> WALTER LIPPMANN :

The Republican convention, OF
perhaps more accurately Senator
Taft and the small number of old
guardsmen who were in charge OF
the platform, have given Governor
Dewey an opportunity to prove his
qualities. They h e nominated
him on platform which would be
suitable for their real choice, Gov
ernor Bricker. For Governor Dew
ey the platform is formidable
obstacle to be overcome, to be SUI
perseded, to be reshaped. BY show
ing whether he can lead and gov
ern his party, Mr.. Dewey will soon
show-to those who judge by acts
and not by phrases-whether he
can lead and govern the country.
For this platform, quite apart
from its intentional ambiguity on
foreign policy, is as regards do
nestle affairs as reckless and as
mischievous as irresponsible poll
ticians dared to make it. 1t is a
blueprint for postwar imitation. 1t
is an invitation to all the pressure
groups, a permit to all weakmind-
ed and chickenhearted candidates
for office, to punge the country
into the chaos of an uncontrolled
and uncomfortable initiation OF
prices and wages.
The authors of the platform
pledge themselves to maintain
the value of the American dollar"
and to regard the payment Of
government debt as an obligation
of honor which prohibits any pol
icy leading to the depreciation Of
the currency. We shall reduce that
debt as soon as economic condi-
tons make such reduction posi-
ble.''
But how do Senator Taft and his
colleagues propose to discharge
this obligation Of honor and to re-
duce the debt?
They propose to reduce the debt
by reducing taxes: "as soon as the
war ends'-mark the words - all
the present rates Of taxation are
to be brought down to the level
to cover-again mark the words
"the normal expenditure of gov
eminent in the postwar period"
Thus they do not intend to reduce
the debt. Moreover, they do not
intend to maintain tax rates capa-
BILE of exercising any control of
that vast accumulation of initiation.
airy purchasing power which will
be most dangerously explosive
precisely in the period just after
the war ends. AS the platform
pledge of party allegedly devoted
to sound money, this demagogic
promise about taxes is disgrace.
The Wilmington morning star., 1944-07-05

But that is only on e part OF
their blueprint for initiation. They
condemn the freezing Of wage
rates at arbitrary levels" This is
direct invitation to organized la
Dor to break up the sterilization
on the home front. And the mere
fact that it is in the Republican
platform will almost certainly do
much to provoke strikes and labor
disputes in the near future. Not
content with initiating t h wage
structure, these Republicans who
pirate of sound money have adopt
ed farm plank which, though
the words are weasel words, means
to any one who knows the pro2a-
ganda and pressure Of the farm
Hobbies, that the Republicans mean
to encourage the end of the control
Of commodity prices and Of the
cost Of living.
These deadly. dangerous prom
Uses to reduce taxes and to raise
wages and farm prices are set in
a platform which promises by i'm
plication to remove all the war;
time controls before rehabilitation
and reconversion are completed.
There is not one line, not one word,
in the whole platform which rec
ognizes honestly the need Of CT
william control and sacrifice in war
time. Only the soldiers, it appears.
are expected to sacrifice their con-
venience to the nation.
If this is the spirit and the SUBJ
stance of the Republican postwar
domestic program, Mrs. Luce will
have some explaining to do when
her CT. Joes come home to find
country so selfish, so sunk in its
on materialism, that it did not
have the discipline and decency to
deal with the obvious danger of
postwar initiation.
Though platforms are generally
insincere, these elements of the Re-
publican platform are not to be
laughed off. They express the real
views OF the main body of the Re-
publicans in Congress. This is the
line on which they have been try
ing to vote, held back only by their
fear of public opinion. This is what |
they will continue to strive for,
now that they can invoke the party
platform, unless Governor Dewey
finds a way to turn the party in
another direction.
If he does, and there is reason
to hope that he may, the very fact
that his party made things so diff
ficult for him can turn out to have
been his greatest opportunity.
