Dewey States
Faith in GOP
Leadership
Governor Urges
European Unity,
Strong Defenses
Apparently undismayed by his
recent shut-out. in the Wiscon
sin primaries, New York's Gov
ernor Thomas E. Dewey ex
pressed faith in the certainty of
Nebraska Republicans voting
"with confide.-;.-, sincerity tind
real purpose" for a change in
administration.
Dewey spoke to a near-capacity
audience at the University
coliseum Thursday night. His
address was broadcast over a
state-wide network.
Praises G. O. P.
"With a Republican adminis
tration," Dewey asserted, "I am
convinced that we can solve our
problems of inflation, debts and
taxes."
He pointed out the importance
of Nebraskans, as well as all
other citizens, getting out to vote.
"You may," he promised,"be sure
the administration in Washing
ton will hear your voice. It may
not be a very bright administra
tion, but . it is politically sensi
tive." ; ; i i
The Governor declared! that
although) ;Communist Russia has
an imperial program of world
conquest,- "it seeks to conquer
the wofld not by force but by
political action, by preying on
the fears and weaknesses of peo
ple, by fraud, by trickery and
by terror."
Denounces "Weakness."
He blamed the present Dem
ocratic administration for "our
weak foreign policy," observing
that we have "not had any clear
cut objectives, any long range
goal." Dewey denounced both
the program of appeasement ad
vocated, he said, by Henry Wal
lace ,and the program offered by
the Truman government, dis
missing it with the statement
that "it is not much better and it
would only lead to war sooner."
In place of either of these of
fers, Governor Dewey outlined
a two-point plan calling for
strengthening of our national de
fenses and a United States of
Europe.
Urres Free Trade.
"If the economic barriers be
tween these nations (European)
were removed, their production
could move through a unified
European economy and great
new capital expenditures would
develop mass production, yield
ing a rising standard of living
and increased personal security,"
Dewey asserted.
Although he expressed ap
proval of the European Recov
ery Program as a step on the road
to European unity, the Gover
nor emphasized the point that
"we cannot possibly establish a
lasting peace just by lending or

Ag College Meet Boosts Interest
In Coming Farmer's Fair Rodeo
Farmer's Fair rodeo outlook re- meeting to be held Wednesday,
ceived a sizeable boost Wednesday
evening at a meeting of the Ro
deo committees and interested
parties. Increased interest is at
tributed in part to the convo
cation Tuesday, acquainting stu
dents with the traditions of the
event.
The arena has been laid out
northwest of the college activities
building, and chutes will be fin
ished soon. Many students have
brought their own horses to Ag
college, where they are being
kept through housing secured by
James Dunlap, animal husbandry
instructor and rodeo sponsor.
Mounts Needed
There is still a great need for
mounts to be used for pickup
horses, since many students are
unable to bring their own stock.
Interest in the rodeo is not con
fined merely to the male popu
lation of the university, but coed
interest was evidenced by their
large attendance a the meeting
Wednesday night.
Contest Tlanned
A special coed calf catching
contest is being planned which
requires no previous experience
for participation. Anyone inter
ested should plan to attend the
Stassen Says
Victory Tells
Party Growth
Aspirant Voices
Optimistic Policy
Concerning Peace
Wisconsin's recent election re
sults were encouraging not as a
"purely personal victory," but be
cause they showed that "Repub
licans are building toward prog
ress,'" Harold E. Stassen, now sec
ond in the race for the Republican
presidential nomination, told an
overflow crowd at a convocation
in the Union ballroom Thursday
afternoon.
Stassen finished far ahead of
runner-up General Douglas Mac
Arthur in Wisconsin's primary
Tuesday.
Stassen declared that although
the primary reason for our fear
of war is doubtless communist
growth, certainly the second is the
weakness of U. S. foreign policy.
"There are two extreme schools
of thought on this subject," the
former Minnesota governor said.
The first is appeasement which,
Stassen said, he rejects because
"you cannot pave the road to
peace with the jelly-like blocks
of appeasement."
Stassen rejected also the mili
tarists who say we "cannot escape
another war.." "We must never
surrender to the insidious whisper
that war is inevitable," he assert
ed, and added that he sees grounds
for optimism concerning peace.
Commenting on the communist
danger in this country, Stassen
stated that infiltration through
gaining control of lop positions is
a recognized communist device,
and that it is being methodically
attempted in this nation.
"In the face o fthese tactics,"
Stassen declared, the Communist
party should be "outlawed in
America and in all liberty loving
countries o fthe world."
This does not mean, he ex
plained, that we should restrict
the right of American? to reject,
oppose or dissent from what they
believe wrong, but it does mean
that any political organization
with its basis in a foreign nation
should be illegal.
Stassen stressed the fact that
an affirmative campaign to win
the world to democracy is neces
sary "not through propaganda,
but through information: the best
counter to communism is to make
the American system work bet
ter." Under what Stassen termed our
"superb economic system," he
pointed out that the United States,
with only one-sixteenth of the
world's peoples, is producing al-

I April 14
The college rodeo is a tradi
tional event in many colleges

it traditionally is, and everyone
is encouraged to participate in
the rodeo or to help on the vari

up, according to Vaughn Johnson,
