"Here lies our opportunity,

Hare we the ability? Have we the
leadership to take America down

Thomas E. Dewey, speaking
in Washington, also approved
aid to Britain : while Senator
Nye of North Dakota told a
Philadelphia rally that Wlllkie's
support of the lease-lend bill
constituted "betrayal" and a
step toward destruction of the
two-party system.
Wlllkie's stand also was as
sailed by Rep. Fish, of New York,
who told a Baltimore gathering
that the 1940 republican-standard
bearer was "beating the war
drums more furiously than' the
interventionists and war makers of
the democratic party." " " ;;" T

of republican opposition on the
British aid legislation. Senator
Taft, of Ohio, asserted .at a Lin

Va-.;. that '-Winkle "does not and
can not speak, for the republican
party" on foreign affairs.
At other Lincoln, day dinners
1 throughout the county, republican
speakers generally advocated aid
to Britain but differed on the form
it should take. Some confined
themselves largely to criticism of
the Roosevelt administration's do
