DEWEY’S ATTACK ON SOVIET LEADERS: PEACE OBJECTIVE
NEW YORK, Oct. 12. “I pledge you that , your next Administration will make the peace of the world its foremost objective. I do not believe in partisanship in foreign affairs,” said Mr Thomas Dewey, Republican candidate for the United States 1 Presidency, in an address on foreign policy at Louisville today. Mr Dewey said that if he were elected President he would carry out a vigorous, competent, and effective drive for a bipartisan peace policy.
Mr Dewey was caustic about Russian actions, saying that most of the obstacles in the way of peace “are founded in the aggressive designs of the ruthless, ambitious leaders of the Soviet Government.” He added: “This band of fanatic zealots is striking at the ramparts of freedom with all means short of war. They are using falsehood, fear, economic and political sabotage, mob violence, and treason.”
He said that the people of the United States had no quarrel with the / people of Russia, “but only the deepest sympathy for all oppressed peoples suffering today under the iron rule of Communism.”
