G. o. P. Always Finds
Itself in a Dilemma
And as a consequence. the
opposition party always finds
itself in a dilemma. every four
years. They start the race in
these election campaigns. under
the banner of Down With So
cialism." And then, in the home
stretch. they switch to the slo-
gan of "Me. Too" The switch
for this year is already under
way
1t has only been a few weeks
since the Republican candidate
met with Senator Taft up in
Morningside Heights to learn
what his great crusade was all
about. Senator Taft explained
to him that it was a crusade
against creeping socialization."
Now this is a perfectly safe
thing for the Republicans to be
against. but when they are called
on to explain what they mean.
1t begins to get little awkward
for them. Are they against
Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal
and Harry Truman's Fair Deal
and all our works, or aren't
they? OF course. a great many
OF them are. but you would be
surprised at how this question
can embarrasS them. They can't
admit we've done anything good
for obvious reasons. On the
other hand. and for equally obvi-
Gus reasons. it is difficult for
the Republicans to. proclaim
their opposition to all the pro-
grams We have put into effect
for helping the worker and the
farmer and the businessman and
all the rest.
So. you see. part of this great
game of politics. every four
years. is for us to try to pin
the Republicans down to what
they mean by creeping social
ISM" and for them to try to
avoid being pinned down. This
Is an argument in which the
Democrats have all the advan-
tage-because the record of ac-
complishment is on our side.
We just say to the Republicans:
Nov you are against the New
Deal and the Fair Deal and all
their works. so will you kindly
tell us and the American peo-
pie just which of our programs
you want to repeal"
OF course, they can't admit
that they want to repeal any of
them. So. as they are pinned
down. issue by issue, they be-
gin to say: We're not really
opposed to that-we are in ia
vor of it," And pretty soon
they begin trying to claim credit
for having started the thing in
the first place. This is called
me tooism." The whole process
might also be called trying to
have it both ways at the same
time. At any rate, it is now 60
ing on.
Just a few days ago, Senator
Taft. who has written the
marching orders for the great
crusade. followed me on a plat
form in Shenandoah. Iowa.
There he said, in rather angry
fashion, that he and his party
were not against those things
we had been doing for the
farmer at all, and how could
anybody have gotten that idea?
And the so-called Republican
truth squad, who have been
limping around in my wake, ex-
planned recently, in Denver,
that when it came to farmers
and reclamation, the Republi-
can 80th Congress had done
more for creeping socialism than
the Democrats ever did.

I wonder if Columbus ever
had truth squad following him

New IsoIdtionism Hits
Costs as Too Lorqe

Now this is a new kind of
isolationism. The old isolation
ism was to say that the United
States was surrounded by an
ocean moat that no enemy could
cross. The new approach is to
say: Yes, we are part of the
World-but not if it costs much
money.
So, we have the Republican
candidate, on the one hand,
who says that isolationism is
dead but then sneers at the
joint efforts we are undertak-
ing with our Allies. And on the
other hand. we have all the
die-hard Senators he has en-
dorsed for reelection, who still
oppose the North Atlantic
Treaty and the Mutual Security
Program-and want America to
withdraw behind her moat.
Through all these isolationists
runs deep distrust of foreign
nations and the foreign-born.
These men have turned their
backs on the brave progress that
the free countries of Europe
have made with our assistance.
AS for the Republican can
didate himself, what has be-
come of the convictions that he
held-a few short months ago
when the free nations of
Europe looked to him as a SYM
Dol of their unity against the
Moscow menace? He was in
Europe as commander of the
forces of the North Atlantic
Treaty countries. l sent him
there. 1t was his job to try to
unity these forces, and to stim-
ulate those countries to defend
themselves from Communist i'm
perialism.
Now I thought that mission
was a success. At least, that
was what believed until few
days ago. when the Republican
candidate made a speech at
tacking our foreign policy. In
that speech, he said that our
efforts to bring about greater
unity in Europe have been fall
ures. If that is true, then his
mission in Europe was a failure.
This surprised me so much

G. O. p. Finds People
Want Specific Views

Originally, the Republicans
had the ideal that their candi-
date could get by without taking
positive stand on any of the
issues. The theory was that he.
should talk about leadership
without exercising any. But to
their surprise the Republicans
have found that the people want
to known where their candidate
stands on some of the specific
things that concern the people.
That accounts for his feeble
expression of views on health
and education in Los Angeles
the other day.
We have been able to make
him admit, at last, that he
played a part. as Chief of Staff,
in some of the foreign policy
decisions for which he is loudly
criticizing the civilian side of
our Government.

Stevenson's Mission
In Italy During War

There is one aspect of his
career that I think I should
emphasize before this audience
celebrating Columbus Day. In
the dark winter of 1943, when
Italy lay divided, with the Ger
man troops on the Rapido, and
the Allies in Naples. Adlai Ste
venson was sent by Roosevelt to
survey the condition and the
problems of the Italian people
in the liberated zone.
He found them without trans
port, without enough food and
fuel, and suffering under a ter
rible imitation. Yet in spite of
their misery, he recognized in
the Italian people their under
lying courage, their hope, their
eagerness to help the Allied
cause. He recommended that
they be treated. not as former
enemies, but as valuable and
useful co-workers in the fight
for freedom. He urged that
they be given, not relief, but
the supplies they needed to help
themselves-to rebuild their
industries, and to do their part
in helping win the war against
tyranny.
Adlai Stevenson's plans for
what ought to be done in Italy
contained the seeds that event.
ually hoWered in the Marshall
Plan for the defense of Europe
against communism. It was a
vision characteristic of Ms whole
approach to public problems
the vision of man who looks be-
meath the slogans. and beneath
the surface. into the hearts of
people, and finds the slogans,
and beneath the surface, into
the hearts of people, and finds
there the guide to action.
With this kind or leadership,
the Democratic Party is prov
ing, once again, that it is the
party of growth and progress.
With this new leadership. the
Democratic Party proclaims
again that it is the party Of
peaceful and forWard-m moving
change.

may be able to make him con-
fess that he had a part in our
policy to strengthen and defend
Europe-a policy that is SO dis
tasteful to his isolationist man
ayers. Maybe we can even get
him to admit that policy is a
success and not a failure.
But I do not entertain hope
any longer, that We shall be able
to get him to repudiate his two
new associates-the isolationist
character asSassinS, Jenner and
McCarthy-the very men who
tried to destroy the reputation
of his greatest benefactor-that
great patriot-Gen. Marshall.
Neither do I suppose that we
can persuade him to disoWn the
use of their tactics by his run
ming mate. That would be too
much to expect. He is in this
thing too deep now to scramble
back to a position of decency
and honor.
Fortunately-very fortunately
the American people have a
happy alternative to this bank
rupt Republican campaign and
its captive candidate. Because
the Democratic Party has as it's
candidate one of the most highly
gifted men ever to make his ap-
pearance in our political life.

and too wise to reject the lead

Eisenhower Report
Calls Policy Success

Let me read to you from his
report. He says: 1--WE have made
progress in all aspects of secu-
rity." And later on he says, 1.-The
tide has begun to flow our way
and the situation of the free
world is brighter than it was
a year ago."
If he really believed our policy
in Europe was one of failure, it
was his plain duty to tell us so
when he returned from Europe.
and not wait six months to put
it into a political speech.
Now let me tell you some
thing. This talk about our Eu-
ropean policy being a failure is
straight isolationist talk. 1t is
part of the propaganda of the
lsolationist Republicans.
What we have really done in
Europe, is to save the home of
western civilization from en-
slavement by a goddess creed.
The free nations of Europe
are a shining example of what
our leadership can mean. These
great countries have more than
strategic value. They are i'm
portant to us as the centerS
from which our culture springs,
and to them we are bound by
the deep ties of ancestry. A
great church to which many
Americans belong. has its CEN
ter in Europe-in Rome. All
Americans can take pride in
what we have done to save
Western Europe from Commu-
nism.
Our aid to Europe is not only
a government affair. One of
our greater accomplishments
was carried out by private citi-
zens, as a personal effort. That
was the campaign of letters
from our citizens to their friends
and kinfolk in Italy, at the
time of the Italian election in
1948. Many of you in this
room took an important part
in that effort. 1t helped to
turn the tide against Commu-
nism in Italy, and throughout
Europe.

be now if we had listened to

cans can fool the people with
any such acts of death-bed re-
pentance. The people can tell
where the Republicans really
stand by looking at the Republi-
can record. And that record is
clearly against the people.
This is the fix the Republicans
nave gotten themselves into in
domestic policy. Now let us see
where the Republicans and their
candidate stand on our foreign
policy.
There was a time when I
thought I knew.
There was time, during the
life Of Senator Vandenberg,
when one wing of the Republi-
can Party joined with the Dem
ocratS to strengthen our Allies
abroad against communism.
They did more than make
speeches then. They voted for
the free world.
There was a time when the
man who is now the Republican
candidate played great part in
strengthening and unifying the
defense of Europe. I thought
his heart was in it. But I have
been astonished since he be-
came a candidate, that he has
never seen fit to reaffirm the
specific programs of military
and economic aid to our Allies
in the free world - programs
in which he played SO vital a
part. The only specific sugges-
ton he has made about these
programs is to propose violent
cuts in money spent for our own
defense and to help strengthen
our Allies.
