9 _ - Willkie Emphasizes Need For U. S. to Direct Peace Dedicates His Life to Arousing American Leadership in ‘All-Out Offensive for Global Peace When War Ends.’ By BAUKHAGE Nemu Analyst and Commentator. WNU Service, 1343 H Street, N. W., Washington, D. C. Editor't Notes In an exclusive interview with Baukhaxe. Wendel Willkie (dis closes his "blueprint lor the future, ' In the following article, Willkie disposes of the third-party question and discusses America’s job in the post-war peace. Wendell Willkie has cut out a huge, new job for himself. That revelation came to me in one startling, rapier sentence, hurled across his desk as I sat opposite, an unsuspecting, inquiring reporter. It is the biggest Job Willkie ever tackled. Bigger, I am sure he be lieves, than being President, even in wartime, would have been. It is not the job of leading a third party. I have his word that he con siders formation of a third party impossible. It is the job of arousing America to leadership in an all-out offensive for a global peace when the war ends—-beginning now. With his well-thatched head and his square shoulders silhouetted against the flashing panorama of the East river below, Willkie talked to me in the office of his law firm on Broad strAt in New York. A Jangling telephone interrupted occa sionally, he paused to give quick answers to pencilled notes from his secretary, but he kept his mind on far horizons as he answered a list of 14 questions which I bad pre pared. The remark that convinced me that he means business was a past of his answer to the ninth of my 14 questions. After he had stressed the necessity for more American lead ership in the war effort of the United Nations, I asked: "What will happen if the United States doesn't take this leadership you say is necessary? How will it affect the war? How will it affect the post-war world?" American Leadership Willkie has a habit of looking you in the eye. He doesn't often gaze into space and meditate before he speaks. "If there is not ■ United Nations united command and united council, with America playing its part in the leadership—I mean political and moral leadership as well as military leadership—it will mean that the war will last longer, many more lives will be lost uselessly . . ." By this time his words were stac cato, each sharply emphasized, the words of a man who wanted his hearers to believe. The last phrase came crescendo: "... and the world will revert to the old spirit of nationalism." Then he turned and looked at me intensely: "That's why I have dedi cated my life to this job." Those words and the way they were spoken convinced me that Wendell Willkie, whatever his polit ical ambitions might be, had drawn a blueprint for his own future that was wider than the map of the United States. "We have to get started now,” he said, "we can’t wait until the war is over. We have to begin to build the machinery step by step. It isn’t a thing that will come full-blown out of the bottle." "What are you going to do about It?" I asked. Third Party Again "I am going to speak, I am going to write, I am going to try to con vert the country to the belief—and I am going to work within the framework of the Republican party toward the adoption of this idea as a policy.” “What about a third party?” I asked. “The formation of a third party is legally impossible,” he replied, im patiently brushing aside the political implications. He returned to the question of a war and peace policy. Just what is this "policy”? Mr. Willkie made that pretty plain in his report to the nation. He said: •To win that peace three things seem to be necessary—first, we must plan now for peace on a global basis; second, the world must be free, economically and politically, for nations and for men that peace may exist in it; third, America must play an active, constructive part in freeing it and keeping its peace." Willkie wants, immediately, a full statement of post-war aims, an ex tension of the Atlantic Charter so written that all the nations of the globe will be assured that all are to be co-beneflciaries. He wants, immediately, a real United Nations united command and a united coun cil ("no second class allies”). Out of this, American leadership will automatically develop, he be lieves, because of the “reservoir of good will" which America has built up on her non-imperialistic policy. The immediate creation of a unit ed command and a united council, Willkie said, will provide the proper machinery for carrying the war to a speedy victory and form the nu cleus of the world organization which can establish and maintain the global peace—the ultimate ob jective. The necessity for action now, Will kie stressed again and again. On Organization More of his own ideas came out in response to questions on specific issues which I felt he had not clarified in his report to the nation. I asked him how he expected to provide security for the small, de pendent nations and the colonies if the great nations surrender their political power over these quasi dependencies. "We cannot expect to restore the economic boundaries of the world after the war," he said, "but we can see that the small, dependent peoples are allowed to benefit from the revenue of the things they pro duce—that they are not exploited. There will have to be an interna tional police force to provide for their security, but we must see that these countries ^re provided with sanitation, health and education, paid for by their own resources, un til they can be built up to the point where they can govern themselves. It may take centuries. That doesn't matter. But there can be no peace in the world until problems like the problem of India are settled under International arrangement, with the obligations to such nations guaran teed by some kind of an interna tional group. But we cannot wait for an organization to be formed. The United States must start by guaranteeing such obligations, later bringing in the other nations of the world.” "Can Russia be fitted into the democratic picture?” I asked, "and how should we avoid forcing our brand of democracy on other na tions which might not want it?" Ruaaian Cooperation Willkie answered these two ques tions in one. He said: "Russia can be fitted into the international pat tern. I believe Russia will co operate. It can then be left to work out its own internal alfairs. This applies to other nations as well. The point is that we must shift the lead ership as it is today from an Anglo American leadership to a United Nations leadership. Then the Unit ed States will naturally assume the lead because the other nations will automatically turn to us for guid ance.” “Should there be encouraged non governmental groups to work out a post-war program now?" I asked. “Certainly," he said, “the more discussion the better. People all over the country should be encour aged to speak their minds on the subject Universities should take it up. Radio and press must do their part. Public opinion is formed in the home. You and I may have a wider field for expressing ourselves, but public sentiment itself must be built through individual discussion." My time had long run out but not Mr. Willkie's patience. When I left I had the feeling that I had been consuming the first hour’s worth of a lifetime dedicated to the building of a new world. If the gentleman behind the paper littered desk overlooking the East river is as convincing to others as he was to me. perhaps something never dreamt of in its philosophy is about to come out of that corner of Manhattan bounded by Broad and Wall streets.

Second Contestant Was Runner-Up to the Worst Both were very proud of their vocal abilities: for months they had squabbled over the question as to which possessed the better voice. At last, to settle bets they had made with each other, they arranged to give a recital before an eminent professor and abide by his judgment. When they had concluded, the professor turned to the first, shak ing his head sorrowfully. “You’re the worst singer I’ve ever heard,” he said. “Hurrah!” shouted the other. “Come on! Pay me that fiver!” “One moment, please,” said the professor, quietly. “You—er— well, you can’t sing at all!” ^.(V.(V.(V.(^(V.(V.(V.(V.{V.(V.(\.ft.(V.(V.(V,{V,(V.(V.(V.{V.CV.(V.(V.{V.(V.fV.(V.(V.(V.(V.(V.(V.(V.(t.(UO-0 l ASK MS 7 A quiz with answers offering ? 1 ANOTHERinformation on various subjects | O- C'- N tv* {V fv. rv. rv. rv. rv. rv. a. iv. /v_ ^ » a a ^ ^ ^ ^ The Questions 1.

But this is no or dinary winter—it is a war winter when Americans must con serve every car and truck and tire until after victory is won. So there is a new appreciation of Weed Tire Chains which pre vent skid accidents and help get through snow without delays. Examine your Weeds—if there are broken links have them replaced. Take chains off when no longer needed, and clean them after using; it pays. If your used chains are worn out get new Weed American Bar-Reinforced —for double mileage. Or Weed Regular, standard of value for 39 years. Look for the name “Weed.” AMERICAN CHAIN DIVISION York, Po.
