By the Assoeicsed Press

/ the role OF pOlltlcaI concllldtOr To-
day in an attempt to get Demo-
Gratis and Republicans rowing to-
gether for a genuine bipartisan"
foreign policy.
| He called on President Truman
to give the COP a real chance to
help guide the current cold war.
and then chided his fellow Repub-
licans for trying to rock the boat.
The former Republican presi-
Dental candidate made his pro-
posal last night in the third of his
series of four Princeton University
lectures on the American political
system. He will conclude the
talks tonight with a discussion on
the Nations domestic policies.
Gov. Dewey listed strengthened
bipartisan planning as the Ma
tons number -one need in the
prosecution of the cold war. He
said it required "a radical i'm
provement of both the Democratic
national administration and sec
tionS of the Republican Party"
Improvement Noted.
The New York Governor said
that bipartisanship in foreign pol
icy had been converted by the
Democrats into "a shadow instead
of reality"
But he said he saw some i'm
provement in the recent appoint
ment of Republican John Foster
Dulles as consultant to Secretary
of State Acheson.
He cautioned fellow COP lead
ers that Ito any sincere offer Of
bipartisanship at time like this,
the Republican party must, OF
course. respond"
This, he said, is no time for
rocking the boat even If it Is run
mainly by Democrats. Before
any Republican rejoices at the
possible shipwreck of the foreign
policy of the Democratic admin
istration," Gov. Dewey said. "he
should remember that we are all
in the same boat"
He said he was profoundly con-
vinced that American initiative
can save our freedom and that
of much of the world. But the
hour is very late"
Situation "Graye,"
He described the situation as
80 grave as to require us to con-
centrate our whole effort as a
Nation toward it's solution"
Gov. Dewey clearly enjoyed his
assignment as a college lecturer.
His 70-minute talk before an
audience of some 1000 was
sprinkled with dabs of humor.
Later he relaxed with a cigarette
in small black holder and
answered questions for As more
minutes, discussing foreign policy
matters in a casual exchange with
the students.
He urged that President
Truman call in Republican lead
ers for consultation before, not
after, decisions in the shaping of
policy are made" Bipartisanship,
Gov. Dewey said. cannot be
merely a ratification of policies
determined by one party"
And a bipartisan program. he
said, should apply in all decisive
areas of foreign policy, not merely
in those where it is found con-
venient or politically expedient.
Gov. Dewey's bipartisan plan
ming proposal dominated a 10
point program he suggested as
the best way to win the cold war
against the Communists.
Nine Other Points.
In the nine other points he
asked that the Nation:
!. End a trend back to isola-
tionism.
2. Not expect miracle cures by
telephone calls to Stain.
3. Reject the notion that war
is inevitable.
4. Strengthen its intelligence
service.
5. Expand American propa-
ganda abroad.
6. Decide what it wants.
7. Promote European fedora
ton.
8. Agree on a Far East policy.
9. Develop the worlds backward
areas.
The major danger, Gov. Dewey
said. is do-nothingness. He said
the Nations Capital now conveys
the impression Of fiddling while
freedom burns"
The United States, he said,
should stop watching continuous
Communist successes with the
calm of a buddha contemplating
his navel"
