Fighting Hopeless Cause?
IT may be the very hopelewnew of the Wendell
Willkie cause, from the standpoint of practical poli
tics that makes it so intriguing.
The mere IDEA of a public utility magnate even
presuming the POSSIBILITY of being a presidential
nominee has its dramatic shock, the element of sur
prise, its romantic allure.
And as for succeeding Franklin Delano Roosevelt
in the White House, the proponent of the holding
company "death sentence, well, that comes under
the heading of an H. i. Wells fantasy, the Man
from Mars or traveling in a rocket to the moon I
.
CO with this hard-headed and extremely successful
power trust executive, actually ENTERING the
lists for the Republican nomination, and thousands of
American men and women, apparently in their right
minds, seriously devoting themselves to his cause, one
has what is far and away the most colorful and ro
mantic scenario since the dramatic days of Theodore
Roosevelt, the Bull Moose, and the quixotic William
Jennings Bryan I
IN fact, while it is a complete reversal of the favorite
political symbol of our forefathers, from "log cabin
to the White House," its great appeal undoubtedly
has the same foundation in the American ideology,
namely: that in this great land of the brave and the
free, "a man's a man for
his origin or his background, ANYTHING is possible,
And, therefore, the man who, against overwhelm
ing odds, sets out to DO the impossible inevitably
catches the public imagination and arouses wide
spread popular acclaim and admiration.
The difficulty of that task may proceed from one
type of environment or another. But, as long as it re
veals that Individual fearlessness, determination and
never-say-die spirit, which has made this country
what it is today, "we the people" can't resist taking
off our hats, and in spite of the usual partisan con
siderations, give three rousing cheers to the gallant
little contender.
X7HICH undoubtedly accounts for the surprising
TT fashion in which this Wendell Willkie movement
is growing
But, of course, there is
as far as this column is concerned. For the more we
hear what Willkie thinks, the more we study the man,
and his ideas, the more enthusiastic for hig nomina
tion we become.
We grant that because
filiations, he hasn't more than a one to twenty chance
of securing the Republican nomination, but we are
more and more convinced that the chance, however
slight, is worth working for.
And in support of this belief we offer the follow
ing condensation of the Willkie program, as outlined
in the recent speech he delivered in Kansas City:
"1. The purpose of government is to make men free.
Their freedom must be economic as well as political. Unem
ployed men are not free men.
"2. Freedom is achieved only by limiting the power
of everyone, whether In business or government. Govern
ment that is TOO big, is Just as bad as big business.
"3. Freedom is also established by establishing certain
economic guarantees. We must provide for the destitute and
the unemployed; for reasonable old-age benefits; for public
works; for public health; for the right of labor to bargain
collectively; for the regulation of public utilities and of big
business. Many of these things the New Deal has done.
"4. But farming, business and industry have made this
country great not government. Therefore, while establish
ing minimum economic guarantees, and while regulating
big business, we must help and stimulate private enterprise.
This the New Deal has not done.
"5. To stimulate private entemrise our nnvfrnm.nl mint
have a business attitude toward our economic problems.
It must be the steward of our prosperity. It must see to it
that the economy operates for the profit of us, the people.
This calls for the following major steps:
a. A new tax policy designed to raise the most nnihu
money with the least possible harm to private enterprise.
o. n new spending policy. When the government spends
our money it should open up new economic opportunity for
our private enterprises. Increasing our debts without in
creasing our opportunities will end us in bankruptcy. This
is a simple business principle.
e. A new kind of budget which will reveal how the gov
ernment is spending our money. The present budget does
not tell us, and therefore we cannot really control our ex
penditures. We cannot really control the power of the
spenders.
d. A new International outlook which will recognize
that long term prosperity cannot be attained without for
eign trade.
". We must work toward post-war reconstruction
that will include reciprocal trade agreements, open interna
tional markets, and international monetary standards that
Cn..b" T1'"1 on- Meanwhile, we stay out of war.
"7. What we need is a new outlook, a new way of
getting at things. W. must redesign a government system
which, in view of our progress in other fields, has become
obsolete. e do not want a New Deal anymore. We want
a new world."
..BAA
MOW, assuming it is unfair and un American to bar
any American citizen from the White House be
cause of his material background. whether that
background happens to represent big or little busi
ness, financial success or financial failure, it would
be interesting to see how many American Citizens
approve of the principles advanced bv Mr. Willkie
quite aside from the fact that he turned an unprofit
able light and power company into a profitable one.

Washington, June 3. The ap

CAIRLY careful guesses indi-
cate that the amount appro
priated to be spent for national
defense next year will be around
four and three-quarters billions.
That is roughly three-fourths of
the sum spent for the army and
the nsvy in the first full year of
our actual participation in the
world war.
ON the basis of SPENDING
ALONE, It is evident that
we are going seriously about
the business of defending our
selves. But spending alone isn't
enough.
Appropriations, bonds and
blank checks won't protect us
against an enemy. Only guns,
ships, tanks and planes will do
that.
w
EARY and bloody
British
soldiers returning from the
hell of the Flanders battle cry
out: "For God's sake, give us
more airplanes. When we duck
a nazi bomb, we want to see a
British plane chase the bomber.'
All the appropriations in the!
world can't give them the protec
tion they plead for. Only actual,
physical weapons of war can do
that.
Actual, physical weapons of
war can't be produced by the
waving of a wand or the passing
of an appropriation bill. They
have to be MANUFACTURED.
THERE is no thought here of
complaining of defense ap
propriations. Before the actual
guns, ships, tanks and planes
we need for defense can be man
ufactured they must be financed.
The point Is that financing (ap
propriations by congress) is only
a preliminary step. What will
actually COUNT is getting ef
ficient weapons in large num
bers, quickly.
C"OR years we've been listening
to the preachers of the doc
trine of scarcity the less we
produce the smaller the surplus.
the higher the price, etc.
Unless we want to find our
selves In the terrible predica
ment of the British soldiers In
Belgium who prayed for British
fighting planes to chase the Ger
man bombers away, but didn t
have them because they DIDN'T
EXIST, we've got to abandon
this doctrine of scarcity.
In a bad pinch, when you need
plenty of weapons to defend
yourself, the doctrine of scarcity
becomes the rankest of all ab
surdities.
If you doubt that, ask the Brit
ish infantrymen who needed sup
porting planes but DIDN T
HAVE THEM.
THIS Is the greatest industrial
nation on earth. If sensibly
organized and permitted to oper
ate on business principles, our
great manufacturing plants can
provide us QUICKLY with the
weapons we need. But if we let
the politicians hamstring our in
dustrial plant, as they've been
doing for years, we'll come out
at the little end of the horn.
