MORAL: There's only ONE indispensable man!
Now that the "Captains and the Kings" have departed
from Chicago and the 'tumult and the shouting'' are on
transcription platters, we can begin to examine into the pat
tern of the forthcoming political campaign.
We can toss the platform into the discard. The president
has never permitted himself
or pre-election promises. The
sound well on the air, but the time spent on composition
yas wasted insofar as any bearing they might have on the
president's acts following election, unless he has changed
mightily in the matter of keeping promises.

Dewey is to be the campaign's Little Lord Fauntleroy, the
republican Boy Scout, too youthful and inexperienced to
even be considered as a possible commander-in-chief. The
records of 1932-36 will be

fully obscuring the fact that the administration has produc

He will be the ONLY man capable of international states

program.
What will be the republican
political astuteness by keeping his mouth shut. But he
must start talking soon. We imagine one of Dewey's first
acts will be to cast off the mantle of the reactionary, isola
tionist, die-hard G. O. P. and emerge as a spokesman for
the liberal-thinking republicans. It's our opinion that if he
doesn't, he's sunk. But will
campaign based upon a positive approach to war, peace and
domestic issues, or will they confine their efforts to carping
criticism, mud-slinging and "viewing with alarm?"
The New Deal left the party convention with the backing
of the machine bosses, the malcontents, the special privilege
groups the Hillman-led labor factions and radical forces,
which, when counted with the millions of federal office hold
ers who will vote to hold their jobs, form a considerable slice
of our voting population, which already may be counted on
the New Deal tally sheet.
But the balance of power lies in a great group of sin
cere Americans who, if they are not to vote the New Deal
into office for a fourth term, must be convinced of the need
for a change. They can only be convinced by a sincere and
honest approach, which carries assurance of correcting the
obvious abuses of governmental authority prevalent today.
If the republicans fail in sincerity, they will fail of election.
Nazi Prisoners
Give Opinions on
Upheaval at Home
CAEN, France, July 22 -(API
- Newly captured German pris
oners, commenting on the at
tempted assassination of Hitler,
said today I hey long had known
ol a bitter quarrel between the
fuehrer and the German high
command.
"The generals want to get Hit

the war," said Corp. Werner, 19,
of Minister, a member of an elite
nazl division. He was captured!
yesterday near Cagny. j
"Of course the whole thing

they hear the leader narrowly es

dear fuehrer' "
Asked how he felt personally
about Hitler, Werner stiffened
his shoulders and a fanatical
gleam entered his eyes.
"I put everything on him," he
said. "I know things look bad for
us, but I still think the fuehrer
has some secret great weapon
that will win the war for Ger
many." He added that the German peo
ple were too afraid of the gestapo
to voice their feelings.
Hlmmlcr Called "Butcher"
Commenting on the announce

taken control of the home armies
of Germany, the prisoner said,
"I've got to admit I don't think
much of Himmlcr. He's ft butcher.

on the wall they'll be shot."

Impending Defeat
Of Nazis Can't be
Hid, Hull Declares
WASHINGTON, July 21 (AP)
Secretary of State Hull said to
day that Heinrieh Himmler would
not now be able to "conceal from
the German people the fact that
many German generals believe
that Germany has lost the war."
Hull described Himmler, to
whom Hitler has delegated su
preme authority within Germany,
ar Hitler's "chief executioner"
and said the efforts to restore an
appearance of unity in the high
command were at this stage
"frantic attempts."
Hull's comment, in part:
"The attack on Hitler and his
explanatory speech clearly indi
cate that a realization of Ger
many's impending defeat is
spreading in the reich. He and
two of his most important mili
tary advisers have now denounc
ed as criminal traitors a "clique
ot former generals who had to
be chased from their posts for a
leadership as cowardly as it was
incompetent."
"Hitler has furthermore been
compelled to remove the chief of
the German staff and to appoint
his chief executioner, Heinrieh
Himmler, as commander of the
army in Germany. These frantic
attempts to restore the apparent
unity of the German command
illustrate the divergence of views
between the army and the party
which has developed as a result
of the steadily deteriorating mil
itary postion of Germany."

Monetary Plans
Call for U. S. To
Put Up Top Sum
BRETTON WOODS, N. H.,
July 22 (AP) The united na
tions monetary conference, after
three weeks of hard work, comes
to an end tonight with the sign
ing of documents for an interna
tional monetary fund and a world
bank for reconstruction and de
velopment.
These two projects, which a
conference resolution termed "im
portant for peace and prosper
ity," subsequently will be put be
fore the legislative bodies of 44
united and associated nations for
approval.
They are expected to come be
fore the American congress some
time early next year.
The successful conclusion of
the conference's labors was reach
ed late yesterday with an agree
ment for an 58,800,000,000 recon
struction bank whose purpose
will be to make loans and guar
antee those of private investors
in postwar reconstruction and de
velopment projects.
The monetary fund, which also
totals $8,800,000,000, is designed
tc promote international trade
by providing foreign exchange,
or currency, to those nations who
may be short of it because they
are unable to sell as much abroad
as they import.
Of the total bank capital, the
United States will subscribe $3,
175,000,000, the United Kingdom
Sl.300,000,000, the soviet union
S900,000,000, China $600,000,000,
and France $150,000,000, with the
remainder apportioned among 39
other nations in varying amounts.

action.
He said he told the republican
presidential nominee that the
Unitd States had "great trade op
portunities with the Soviet union"
but that the granting of 'long-
term credit to Russia "will be es
sential." By "long" credit terms, John

with ' Russia, depending entirely
upon the length of credit terms,"
he said there is a "tremendous
