WENDELL WILLKIE

The death of Wendell Willke as profound
shock to the American people His loss in the battle for
human decency can i'll be spared at this time. He sensed
perhaps better than of his contemporaries the srvngs
and the struggles of the less privileged in his own country
and abroad, and able to challenge with convincing
forcefuness the bestthnkng people of America with
gard to their relationship to these groups.
The effects of his work that direction can already
be seen in the advanced position which his party has been
forced to take In both international and our
pressing national issues How much farther his party
would have been forced to go had Mr. Wilke continued
to live no one can say but is clear that the continuing
demand of Mr. Wlke upon both Presidential candidates
to speak out on the question of race particularly and
ternational relations having its effect.
We can only hope that of his potential stature
will be inspired by his example carry his footsteps
and to resolve the paradox in American life which Myrda
calls the American Dilemma"

characterized the occasion as
truly a remarkable achieve

the occasion by st Clair Kirton,
