First, foremost and most im

which Keynoter Harold S'.assen.
chairman of the Republican na
tional convention, called upon
the party to advance was the
front of "National Preparedness."
The second was front of defense
against the "Fifth Coiumn,”
which might have been compre
hended within the first.
The third of "Domestic Econ
mical Welfare," and the fourth,
£ “Government Effectiveness,”
might be termed incidental to
the first. And former President

Janet Workman, pretty Philadelphian, boosted Wendell Willkie’s

sign. She is shown in the gallery of the convention hall as the
Wiilkie boom really started to roll.
Victory was cose at hand when this picture was taken of Wendefl
Willkie, who won the Republican nomination for the presidency on
the sixth ballot at the Republican convention at Philadelphia.
Willkie, a picture of fatigue, was checking the results ot the ballots.
Willkie ran third in the lirst ballot, but the Willkie boom gathered

j worst.
Much will be heard on these
lines in the campaign about to
follow. The details of how to pro
I ceed will revolve about the
points so emphatically and con
! cisely summarized in the words
! of Stassen and Hoover. Doubt
less the Democratic convention
also will deal with the matter.
Congress, in appropriating bil
lions in the present session, for
national defense, already has
tarted the ball rolling, and the
j precaution now essential is that
it does not go on rolling until it
I carries America unnecessarily in
j to war.
To prepare for adequate de
! fense looms as the great object
ive. How will that objective be
obtained. In a formula laid down
by Basil Brewer of the Stanard
Mercury, of New Bedford, Mass
achusetts, and given nation-wide
circulation by all foremost news
agencies of the nation, is offered
a list of practical suggestions on
the "Front of National Prepared
ness.” Highlights of his sugges
tion well worth keeping in mind
irrespective of party adherence
and commending themselves to
every loyal American are:
Hold consultation with the oth
er countries of this hemisphere
on mutual defense now and
make agreements, if possibe with
them.
Get drastic efficiency into the
whole program; sacrifice the
democratic process as little as
possible but as much as is neces
sary.
Divert relief money to the pre
paredness program as fast as this
! program relieves unemployment.
Cease guileless and misleading
I chatter about building 50,000
j planes but get plane production
now, and start now to train pi
lots and ground forces, in quan
tity, by draft if necessary.
Build new airplane factories
underground.
Build airports underground.
Build forts underground to de
fend our coasts and the Panama
(Canal.
- Create mechanized divisions
and equip them as rapidly as if
we were NOW at war. Same for
1 anti-aircraft.
Pay no attention to the squawk
of the ostrich-minded, that this;
i is making us military —i f we
don’t have adequate defense
quickly, we may not have any
thing to defend.
