Governor Dewey warns of rabble-rousers
New York (UP) –
Warning against “blatant rabble-rousers or worse,” Governor Thomas E. Dewey of New York said last night that the U.S. government must be kept “strong and clean within” so that the nation can fulfill its post-war world responsibilities.
He said at the opening of the United Jewish Appeal campaign:
The Gerald L. K. Smiths and their ilk must not for one moment be permitted to pollute the stream of American life.
Such would be a betrayal of the sacrifice now being made on the battlefields by millions of Americans who fight for their county and for the basic principles of freedom these rodents would undermine.
Governor Dewey also urged a post-war system of “international cooperation based on justice.”
