I The reasonable presumption in view at the re-election of Ftesidant I Roosevelt, is that the attention of the people of this country, during the next year or so, will be directed to problems connected with interna tional affairs. Domestic issues have receded some what to the background. This is not due solely to the declaration of the President that the era of reform is over, hot also to the fact that Mr. WilUde, as the Republican candidate for President, pointedly accepted as "national policies" most of the basic reforms of the past few years. ??*... ' ' - - ? L The Republican nominee endorsed the policy of providing farmers with la fair abase of the national income, the right of labor its free choice, the floor wages and the limit to hours of labor and social security, including old-age pensions, care for the unem ployed. Federal relief, care for the ?||ed? the sick, the physically handi ?CSped and the blind. The attitude taken by Mr. WillkW during the campaign does not mean that these reforms will not face at tack m the future. There will be ultra-conservative groups within both parties ready to sabotage them at any opportunity. 11 Mr. Willlde's position, however, in dicates that opponents of these poli cies have lost their battle. Moreover, his stand will undoubtedly have con siderable influence upon the Repub lican Party, as a whole, which will hardly commit the Party to an at titude which the leader is opposed to. Insofar as the issues in the recent political campaign related to foreign affairs, is should be noted that, in | this field, the position taken by the j Republican nominee as closely all lied to that espoused by President Roosevelt Mr. WiWde endorsed greater- assistance to Great Britein, the extension of aid to Chin* and^l policy of firmness, without. appeaf$?9 meat, to the dictator-aggressor na tions. \ I Consequently, it may beeasectecT without say form of political partner ?ship, tiiat the foreign'policy of the lof the vast majority of the people of ?this country, I Of coum, in thia connection, there ! lis a smell minority, scattered through < I both parties,, which opuses the fqf- I eign policy of the United States and | which seemingly, tends to^snpportam < tered advocates. of "isolation" are j I still alive in the Republic, the policy v of isolation has been officially dnop pod by the leaders of both parties.'
