NEW YORK, Mop. l.-Folloip-.
ing Is the tcrt OF Gou. Thomas
E. Dewey's address at Madison
Square Garden:
ALI over the world tonight Amer.
leans are fighting for the right o.
free men to govern themselves
Here at home we are waging a po'
litical campaign to make secure thu
liberties for which they fight.
Openly and in plain words Johr
Bricker and I, in the name Of thu
Republican party, are dedicated Il
these propositions:
/. To speed total victory and ths
prompt return Of our fighting mer
by putting energy and competence
in Washington behind the magnifl.
cent effort OF our military com
mand.
2. To provide American leader.
ship in the world for an effectiv,
organization among all nations t.
prevent future wars.
3. To direct all Government poll.
cies in the peacetime years aheae
to achieving jobs and opportunitie.
for every American.
To these ends:
We shall restore honesty and in.
tegrity to our national Government
We shall put an end Of one-mar
rule.
Will Unite People.
We shall unite our people in team.
work and harmony behind a Presi.
dent and Congress that can anc
will work together to realize the linn.
itless promise of America.
These are no partisan objectives
They are in truth the obiectives OF
the American people. They car
never be attained under the tirec
and quarrelsome administration
that has been in office for IL long
years.
They can only be obtained undel
a new, vigorous administration thai
comes fresh from the people. That.
why all over the country the peo.
pie are saying it's time for 9
change.
America is determined to win ,
speedy and overwhelming victory
In this war. All Of us have perfec
confidence in our military and nava
commanders. But this war canno
be won alone upon the battlefronts
1t must also be won at home. Ant
each Of us must play his part.
AS recently as September l, Gen
Eisenhower renewed his earliel
prophecy that Germany could b.
beaten in 1914 If every one at hom,
would do his part. Yet last Thurs
day Mr.. Roosevelt decided to tel
us that the war had still a long wa,
to go.
What has happened in two months
to cancel Gen. Eisenhower predic,
ton? Mr.. Roosevelt has not tolt
us the whole story, but part Of i
we know.

Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr.. Churchill
held a conference in Quebec. Oul
Secretary Of State was absent. Oul
Secretary OF War was absent. II
their stead Mr.. Roosevelt took Will
him that master Of military strateg.
and foreign affairs, the Secretary O.
the Treasury, with his private plar
for disposing Of the German peopl,
after the war. The plan was 81
clumsy that Mr.. Roosevelt himself
finally dropped it-but the damag'
was done. |
The publishing of this plan whil'
everything else was kept secret wa
just what the Nazi propagandist
needed. That was as good as II
fresh German divisions. 1t put
fight back into the German army
it stiffened the will of the German
nation to resist. Almost overnigh'
the headlong retreat Of the Ger.
mans stopped. They stood ans
fought fanatically.
Here is how the military expert
of Newsweek described the tragic
consequences of this blunder-"Thi!
necromancy ruins Gen. Dwight D
Eisenhower's campaign nov
he finds himself faced by resistanc.
he never expected and which, il
my opinion, would never have ma.
terialized had Allied political war
fare been astute instead of idiotic:'
So says the military expert.
Here's the report from the from
by the United Press: "The hom,
front talk about stern treatment
for a defeated Germany has in.
spired bitter and fanatical resist
ance among German troops, in thi'
sector at least, and the CTS are {
little bitter about 1t. Sometimes the
doughboys who are fighting ant
dying in the mud on this side o.
the Moselle wish people at hom.
would quit announcing what they
think should be done about a de-
feated Germany. Some soldiers
