Dewey’s Views On Post-war Problems
LONDON, April 28
Problems were discussed by Governor Dewey, of New York, and likely Republican Presidential candidate in an address to the American Newspaper Publishers Association’s convention. “No initial measures against Germany or Japan, however drastic, have permanent value unless they fall within the setting of durable cohesion between Britain and the United States, together, I hope, with Russia and China.
The American people overwhelmingly agree that United States foreign policy should: (1) Build a peace structure based on international cooperation, backed by adequate force to prevent future wars; (2) Carry on the war to total and crushing victory, teaching the aggressors an unforgettable lesson; (3) Maintain relations with other nations calculated to promote world-wide economic stability. “If we relapse after the war into the old suspicions regarding Russia, the future is indeed dark. Russian affairs are in the hands of clearheaded, realistic leaders, but that is nothing to be afraid of, provided we are equally realistic- We can deal with each other with candour, while building firm mutual respect and friendship.”
The keynote of Mr. Dewey’s address to New York to the Bureau of Advertising of Newspaper Publishers’ Association was that world peace would have to be worked for as hard as victory was being fought for. The Americans would have a decisive part to play in that struggle. He approved of Mr. Cordell Hull's statement on basic principles on April 9, but it did little to relieve concern and uncertainty. This was because we cannot be sure to what extent foreign policy actually is being handled by the Secretary for State and to what extent privately by the President.
