Released by Western Newspaper Union. By BAUKIIAGE presented themselves to Chairman Spangler of the Republican national committee. Results of Session It was some time before the results of this meeting between Watson and his colleagues and Chairman Spangler of the Republican national committee leaked out. Those with an slant, wove the words dropped into a threatened split in the Republican party, a drive to nominate Wendell Willkie for president. To the person who tried to be objective, it was neither. Mr. Spangler has one job to keep the party together, to eschew any favoritism for any policy or any person. Naturally, these persistent persons who called upon him were presenting a problem. I believe it was that fact rather than what his critics said that indicated there was a leaning toward the "status quo" attitude, the desire to remain a purveyor of platitudes and follow the tide rather than to face it. This issue full participation in world affairs versus a return to nationalism or isolationism, if you will is, according to our most earnest the most important issue which has faced the public and should not be a political football. Briefly, what the men with their sleeves rolled up at Mackinac in September have to face is this: shall we, good Republicans, come out frankly for or dodge the issue? What the Watson association demands is more than that and something the Republican national committee must face: will the party officamcially get behind a nation-wid- e paign to "educate" the people on the international issue? Unfortunately, personalities do get mixed up in these things and Wendell Willkie has become the symbol of the international view. That is why it is essential, if the party is to take the issue out of partisan politics and disassociate it from any of the individuals aspiring for the Republican candidacy, that they must go on record. man ultimately responsible for directing American world policy.

Roosevelt. A man who may suddenly leave the scene in the midst of battle, if the American public so decrees. And then? Has America any firm foreign policy, uriettered by partid san political restriction, a path that a fighting man or any other man can follow? In a few short weeks from now, a d men are group of busy, going to sit down on Mackinac island and try to write what American foreign policy they think ought to be sponsor"! by the Republican party. These men fiave to face the question of committing the Republican party to a definite foreign policy. And paradoxically, by committing their party to a definite foreign policy, they ttiay free both political parties of all commitment on foreign policy. For if the Democrats frame simitar resolutions, they can save America from a vicious split one which, if it is not avoided, will crash party lines and can destroy the system, the rock of our democracy. The Issue which America faces is simple: shall we, as a nation, underwrite a policy which will implement our participation in world affairs or shall we retire unto ourselves and pursue the nationalistic policy which says in effect: let the rest of the world stew in its own juice? Until we took the Philippines, America was able to leave the great and vital problems which should have no political tinge, outside partisan politics.
