1 : 1 I 4 1 As the San Francisco Argonaut pointed out- - and proved by irrefutable logic tot long ago the spirit of isolationism has survived the stunning blow it received at Pearl Harbor Having put many civilians and a few unfortunate military men to sleep with lullabies of security ffrom alien assaults several pseudo-patrioti- c associations disbanded obstructionists in congress lowered their voices to 1hollow whispers political lead- ers who listened to or agreed with Burton K Wheeler and Hamilton Fish tried to hedge but- - "isolation leopards do not change their spots by painting them over with patriotic labels" said the Argonaut They are merely lying in wait behind d a facade of war support to rush forth on the slightest preready text to sink their fangs in personal or political foes rather than in the foes of - half-hearte- i their country" This is a warning which the Republican national committee should keep in 4 I I i 1 i mind when it assembles in St Louis next Monday to select a new chairman No man whose Americanism falls below the high standard set by the retiring chairman shculd be considered To choose the law partner of a prospective candidate for the presidency is not exactly fair to other eligible leaders To put the mantle of Joe Martin on the shoulders of any Republican indorsed by the Chicago Tribune is to add another word of encouragement to the nazis and may be considered by Europeans in general as an indicatioA of Hitler's hypnotic power However should the name of Werner Schroeder the Illinois isolation organ's first choice find a cool reception its second choice as indicated in a Chicago Tribune di sp a t c h is more ominous and ill advised than any other yet men-tone- d Frank E Gannett whose name will be presented as a compromise candidate for the avowed purpose of uniting outspoken loyalists and whispering isolaticnists is not the kind of man a party or a country can hope to win with in a time of stress incident to global warfare He is the pouter-pigeo- n type an intense partisan and an uncompromising politician who would lose sight of our nation's peril our need of unity and of our determination to win the war before factions begin to fight each other Wendell L Willkie titular leader of the Republican organization who watched and appraised coming events by shadows cast across the oceans who had the courage to declare his convictions and the patriotism to take an unequivocal stand for unity and offensive action has announced that he expects to have a say at the St Louis meetingwhere he promises to be "reasonable" He will be opposed in almost everything he proposes by two 'other defeated candidates for the presidency—Herbert Hoover and Alf Landon The fact that NVillkle received the highest popular vote ever cast for a Republican candidate and more electoral votes than both of the other party nominees combined in three consecutive elections ought to entitle him to a respectful hearing in spite of interraittent columns of vitriolic abuse heaped on his head by the Chicago Tribune The Republican party will have its chances for a presidential victory in 1944 enhanced or diminished by the action of its national committee and the caliber of its chairman to be selected Monday in St Louis Real Americans are chiefly concerned in winning the war—they are not to be sidetracked by issues that can wait—they are not going to let any clique of politicians discredit the country's effort to secure a lasting peace through essential cooperation with other countries equally concerned and mutually willing to share responsibilities thus acquired and assumed Not again! Press dispatches indicate that the national Republican committeeman from Oregon and others have taken the stand outlined herein—that selection of a subdued isolationist will injure the party and have a tendency to prolong the war war-weaken- A p 1 3 i I I - 1 if447 00' 7 t " - fit: : - -" i:!':--- - ' !' sLDA1'C1-0-eTe!V l':NI r')' 7 'L---- &1- e 6 "- 1 t-- ii—'- 004: '0:) A 44 : 7- ' tif '4 et 7 '': r :1 -- - ' : 4 4 I ‘:tt A 1 7 r' " f' 1 I - A - -t! - do z7: - vo ' ?"
