I * ; y - . . ' I v More than usual significance attaches to the National political conventions of this summer; the first of which to meet will be that of the Republican Party, which goes into convention in Philadelphia on Mon| day. In this hour, when all the world is in an uproar, when our very civilization seems to be crashing about our heads, we must remember .that political parties and their success are but incidental. Ihey are a means to an end, and not an end within themselves. The utterances of a party platform are supposed to be the combined and mature thought of a great political party upon watters that affect the welfare of the people; and not something lor candidates to rim upon and to attract votes. What will the Republican Party have to say about foreign relations, the tariff, and other matters that affect our foreign diplomatic and commercial policies? Its utterances will be read and studied throughout the world. The world will accept what it has to say as the policy of a great political party in this country, a policy that will affect the whole of the world in this hour of supreme trial. It is important that this campaign be waged with as little division among the people of America as is possible. America cannot afford any serious division at this time. The Journal believes that the great Republican party of the United States will measure up to the great responsibility that is placed upon it, that it will adopt aplatform that will be a ringing challenge to all who believe in freedom and justice and democratic processes of government; and that it will nominate men, about whom the whole of ,the American people can rally, should they be successful in the election that is coming in November It is assumed that the Democratic Party will renominate President Roosevelt. He has never said what his intentions are regarding the acceptance of a third nomination; but the foreign policy of the nation has * ' " ' 1 1 a Deen estaoiisnea Dy nun; anu nu> ptuty must iuuuw his leadership in these matters, when it goes into the National Convention. To do otherwise would be courting disaster not only for the party but also for the country The truth of the whole matter is that there should be as little politics this year as is possible in a Democracy. We must have a political campaign. We must elect a president and other officers, as the Constitution provides. We must stick to our Constitution and show the world that while we differ in more or less trival matters; when it comes to tne saiety ana ^ell-being of our people and the perpetuity of our institutions, the people of America are a unit. ISOLATION NO LONGER ISOLATES "I - The events of the past few weeks, coming fast and furious in Europe, as we have seen one nation after another fall before the mighty onslaught of the Nazi military machine, has rudely awakened American people to the danger to our own country, and has changed the thinking that they have been doing, after 20 years of continued isolationist propaganda. That propaganda, and the twin of it, which assumed that all a nation has to do in order to keep out - of war was to mind its own business and have a will to peace, while they may not have emenated from Berlin, Moscow, Rome or Tokyo, have certainly played into the hands of the totalitarians, and have paved the way for the triumph of brute force that we now see, at least for a season. But, the awakening, rude as it has been, has been a real, awakening all Americans, except those who will not or can not change their thinking, regardless of how forcibly the fallacy of it may have been presented to them. Some people will cling to their cherished, false beliefs, though the contrary is proved to them beyond any shadow of doubt. But the great mass of the people of this country have seen how false their thinking has been; and are ready to do an about face, and to look the facts in the eye, as they really exist, not as we wish they were. Anybody can see how false that doctrine of isolation has been. If it were really none of our business what goes on in the rest of the world, we would not now be nrenarincr fnr t>io nr-roofaol a*??iamartt /-?* ? 1??/J I .. ? t JC D v/<. wiv givuvtov aiiiuuiiciiVf wi iouu sea and ^air, that any democratic government ever undertook, just at the prospect of a German victory over there. . We see now that all the democracies in the world are friends, and are tied together in an indissoluble union.

Other sources of information also point to the likelihood that the administration is seriously pondering the possible use of American troops against Nazi activity in Mexico, Columbia, British, French and Dutch Carribean and South American possessions and other countries situated in strategic positions with regard to the Panama Canal. Now, with the very existence of the British Empire in jeopardy by the Nazi blitzkrieg, the acquisition of these Britishheld points in the Western Hemisphere is of vital importance in the American defense scheme. In this connection Senator Sherman Minton, of Indiana, Administration spokesman, gave voice to sentiment now prevailing in high government circles when he sought to justify President Roosevelt's requests for authority to send troops beyond the borders of the United States by contending that in the case of an Allied defeat at the hands of Nazi Germany and Italy, it will be necessary in self interest for the United States to immediately occupy the British, French and Dutch West Indies in order to head off the possibility of their falling into German hands. This eventuality is being taken care of, hpwever, by Congressional action on the resolution Kir DonraCOn f.Q t.i VP fifjl UlACl^U MJ 4VVJ/*vwvi??wv# ww Bloom, of New York. This resolution reiterated America's firm determination to enforce, by all means, the principles set forth in the Monroe Doctrine. This Doctrine says that the United States will resist?by force if necessary ?any attempts on the part of non-American states to make any territorial inroads within the Western Hemisphere. Mr. Bloom'8 resolution, which met with full (Congressional and State Department approval, serves notice on Europe's jarring powers that the United States stands to uncompromisingly enforce the Monroe Doctrine in its entirety. The Bloom resolution further sets forth i-l i XI ? li I ill A?.1 uiat tne uimea estates win wierate no changes in the Status of ownership of Western Hemisphere territory now held by a foreign power, which is to say that in the case of a GermanItalian victory in Europe the United States will resist by force any attempt at German acquisition of any part of American territory now under the control of France, Britian or Holland.

Byrnes, of South Carolina. It is reliably reported that the President and Mr. Byrnes discussed the details of the South Carolinian's vice - presidential possibilities during a recent yacht cruise on the Potomac River, which the two made together. Senator Byrnes has long stood high in Administration circles and is regarded in many quarters as the New Deal's leading legislative strategist. The third term advocates are now convinced that, in view of the situation in Europe, Mr. Roosevelt will accept a third term nomination. They are pleased with the outlook that the conservatism of the Southerner will add to the attractiveness of the Democratic ticket. Reports have it that Mr. Roosevelt regards Senator Byrnes as an ideal choice for the Job of pointing the way through legislative problems and clearing away barriers in the face of possible necessary emergency legislation.
