Dewey to give foreign policy views tonight
Talk may expand League attitude
New York (UP) –
Governor Thomas E. Dewey speaks on foreign policy in relation to preventing another war tonight for the second time in his 1944 presidential campaign.
The speech, to be delivered before The New York Herald-Tribune Forum and broadcast over the Blue Network from 9:30 to 10:00 p.m. EWT is entitled “This Must Be the Last War.”
KQV will carry Governor Dewey’s address at 9:30 p.m. EWT.
The Governor arrived here from Albany shortly before 1:00 p.m. and was scheduled to spend the time before his scheduled speech conferring with Republican National Chairman Herbert Brownell Jr.
Roosevelt idea ‘good’
“I think it is a good thing for the President to come to see the people even though it is only once every four years,” the Governor said when asked for comment on President Roosevelt’s scheduled tour of New York City next Saturday.
Governor Dewey received reporters briefly after meeting with Mr. Theodore Roosevelt Jr., widow of Brig. Gen. Theodore Roosevelt and chairman of a woman’s group backing his presidential candidacy.
Mr. Dewey said he was “delighted” with the active participation in the campaign by Mrs. Roosevelt and her associates and their efforts “to call to the attention of all women the issues of this campaign.”
Dewey said:
Never were the results of the campaign so vital to the women of the country. Employment and peace and opportunities for all the world in the years to come can only be assured by a fresh and competent administration of our government.
Much conjecture
Dewey aides declined to give any hint in advance of tonight’s speech on how he will elaborate his program favoring responsible participation by the United States in an international organization to prevent war. Recent events, however, offered several avenues of conjecture.
There was a possibility that he might expand on his comment that the results of the recent Dumbarton Oaks Security Conference proposing a United Nations organization, was “a fine beginning” but leaves “much to be done.”
Another possibility was in the suggestion of two leading U.S. Senators in foreign affairs that any peace treaty involving participation in a world organization be subjected to a two-thirds vote in the Senate but that the duties, powers and limitations on the American delegate be handled by separate legislation requiring only a majority vote in Congress.
