THESE DAYS

TH1S is altogether a correct
l. view if one believes that the
center of power in the state is
the individual citizen. which is
what has made this country diff
ferent from all others because
its people have been less re-
stricted by government than
all others.
Willkie apparently would have
the people delegate TO the gov
eminent increasing powers, with
the proviso, of course, that the
government will use those pow
ers legally and competently.
His justification lies not in
American history and tradition,
but in the fact that g. we will
be living and functioning and
trading in a world where other
peoples have granted TO their
governments the power and
the authority TO act for them.
But again. Mr.. Willkie is in
error. Except in Great Britain
and the United States, the gov
ernments have seized increased
powers.

That will be a difficult point
in time to determine. Yet the
Germans have little alternative
but to seek 1t out. When they
throw the remaining portion OF
the luftwaffe into some about
action, il may represent the
dying gesture of that aviation

have to be reserved for some
truly decisive battle.

not strong enough for a war OF

They will attack, IL at all, as
the air component of the Ger

gagement where a really large

In such an engagement Hitler

TIIE the fact that the Ger
l. mans thus far have made
a remarkably small showing in
the air against our invasion has
created wave OF optimism.
On the whole ! share in this
optimism.
All the same, I feel that IL is
too soon to assume that the
luftwaffe is dead. Aerial vigi-
lance should not be relaxed.
The suspicion that the NaZis
have managed to preserve a
small but effective aerial strik-
ing force cannot as yet be dis
missed. We know. from events
10 date, that they do not
possess air power capable Of
challenging Allied air power, or
they would have used il TO dis
rupt the preparations for in
vasion, just as we disrupted
theirs three years ago. There
is still the possibility, however,
that they have sufficient
aviation strength TO attempt
seriously TO upset our ground
strategy.
The smaller the air forces the
Germans have. the more likely
they are to plan precisely where
to sacrifice all that's left of the

IF WENDELL WILLKIE is
L right in his article on states
rights. Roosevelt ought to be re-
elected. He says:
THE solution lies not In a
weakened central government.
1t lies in assuring the proper
use Of the power we have
deemed II wise and necessary to
grant to the federal govern
ment ~
To this, Roosevelt can reply
that he changed the American
political and economic system
trying one method and another
10 develop the proper agencies
of control 1.-THE alphabetical
ones) and that now the new way
of life is running more smoothly
than, let us say. in 1887.
If Willkie believes that Roose-
welt is fundamentally right in
principle, why make change?
To support his assumption that
the states rights issue is dead,
Willkie says:
THE Republican party In its
beginning arose from the peo-
pies urge to build strong ma
tional government to Offset the
disruptive, weakening influence
OF the states rights doctrine of
the Democratic party.
Periodically, now, In 1914,
that same Republican party IL
urged to dedicate itself to the
doctrine If states rights. In
the days Of the party's found
ing. a strong central govern
ment was necessary to prevent
disruption Of our political
union :"
DUT that is not so. / quote
- from the Republican plat
form for 1860. the year Abra-
ham Lincoln was nominated and
elected:
THAT the maintenance invio-
late OF the rights Of the states,
and especially the right Of each
state to order and control its
own domestic institutions ac-
cording TO Its own judgment ex-
clusively, In essential to that
balance Of power on which the
perfection and endurance Of our
political fabric depends; and we
denounce the lawless Invasion
by armed force of the soil Of
any state or territory, no matter
under what pretext, as among
the gravest Of crimes"
Wilkes confusion arises from
the fact that the Republicans al
that time opposed disunion and
secession which they held in
adherence. Wendell Willkie in
these instructions 10 the Re-
publican party continues:
". And IL means primarily
the substitution OF government
by law for government by ca
price and unlimited discretions.
Under such exercise of federal
power every citizen. rich or
poor, labor leader or factory
manager, issuer Of securities or
wage Garner, farmer or busi-
nessman may know his rights
and may know that In case Of
dispute they will he adjudicated
fairly and equitably under law
and rules which st least his
lawyer can understand"
