"The League of Women Vot ers has recognized for many years that the power and im portance of the United States make it a factor in world af fairs. The league has also rec ognized that conditions in other parts of the world affect the well-being of the United States. The league has therefore urged that the influence of the United States be used to promote peace ful relations among countries and to discourage aggression Before and after the outbreak of hostilities in Europe it sup ported legislation to pprmit aid to the Allies as the victims of aggression, knowing that the interests of the United States would best be served if no war occurred or if the Allies were victorious. It has worked for legislation to promote a freer flow of international trade. It has supported efforts to promote close cooperation among the Americas. It has supported the efforts of the administration to stop aggression in China. The league continues to support the principles underlying these spe cific actions."

Paul L. Cornell, now owner of a preparatory school, was choice of the Connecticut Re publican convention. He will op pose Senator Francis T. Maloncy in November. In New York, so-called "right wing" of the American Labor party supporting President Roosevelt won 53 congressional and state legislative offices to 50 for opposing "leftists." One in dependent came out the winner in the first 94 or 131 contests to be settled. Wisconsin G. O. P. Wins The double defeat of former Representative John J. O'Con nor of New York and strength shown by Wisconsin Republi cans were other highlights. O'Connor, whose defeat for the Democratic renominalion was successfully advocated by administration forces in 1938, lost out in efforts to win both Republican and Demo c r a 1 1 c nominations in Manhattan's 16th congressional district. In Wisconsin, meanwhile Democrats who have been criti cal of President Roosevelt were well out In front of an adminis tration supporter for the party's nomination for U. S. senator. The gubernatorial contest was a nlp-and-tuck affair. A Roosevelt supporter took over the lead for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination after trailing a critic of the administration through out the early count. Count Slowed A delay In the count of New York's American labor ballots slowed up returns on the intra party strife between the so called pro-Roosevelt right wing and the anti-third term left wing. The outcome of this battle was patched closely for possible clues to sentiment on the third term, for AP votes added 275. 000 to Mr. Roosevelt's state totals in 1936. Early returns, all from New York and vicinity, gave a slight lead to the faction supporting Mr. Roosevelt. Among congressional incumb ents to win renomination in New York was Rep. Hamilton Fish, who was again the Republican choice in the 26th district which he has represented since 1916. The president's Hyde Park home is in the district. The Massachusetts primary's outstanding contest was for the Democratic gubernatorial nomi nation and Attorney General Paul D. Dever, one of the party's best vote-pullers in the state won It handily over Francis E. Kelly, former lieutenant gover nor. For the U. S. senate nomi nation. Senator Walsh, the in cumbent, was unopposed on the Democratic ticket, and Henry Parkman, former Boston corpo ration counsel, was the unchal lenged Republican choice. Trick Falls. New Orleans.
