Wellington, 1011 American Bank Building. o BACK WITH THE REPUBLICANS Nostalgia is the keynote of the 28,000-word re- port of Glen Frank's Committee on the basis for a Republican program, copies of which have been received here, The Committee wants to go “home. to go back to things as they were before the New Deal The idea of “return” occurs The Committee wants to go back dard (what that o the industry is ruination); it wants to return relief the States; it irn to attempts to bal- ance the budget as an er again and again to the gold stan- Alaska mining to would mean wante to re n itself However, it should be pointed out that the Com- mittee does not express opposition to those New Deal measures which have become so firmly em- bedded in the hearts of the that there is no chance of dislodging them. people The necessity for relief is admitted Social security is to be “expanded.” The Federal farm pro- gram is to continue until it becomes, by some mys- tieal process, “unnecessary.”’ The Wagner Labor Act 1§ ndt to b Fepedléd) metely amended. On the whole, the report the most specific counter-program that has come from a Republican source in seven years of bitter criticism of the New Deal. Indeed, it is far more specific and construc- tive than the actual taken by the last Republican Administration is measures If this report were the official position of the Republican party we would say that it had made a step, however short, toward facing the real issues before the nation Unfortunately, this position of the party report is not the official The semi-official G.O.P. organ, the New York Herald Tribune, gets out from under immediately with this sentence in an editorial “Of course, no committee or document of the kind could pretend to an infallible reflection of Re- publican doctrine respecting all the many issues discussed and the solutions proposed.” Even more striking is the manner in which the Republican National Committee ducked r('Fm‘.nSiblHly‘l for the Frank report.

Tt reduced specific terms to It selected those statements in which National generalities. | Democrats, Republicans, conservatives and liberals are in agreement and produced the familiar Repub- lican baloney. For instance— The Frank report calls specifically for a return of work relief administration to the States. The National Committee “official” abstract omits this. The Frank report specifically asks for a divorce of he administrative and judicial functions of the Na- Labor Relations Board. The National Com- mittee abstract merely proposes “amendments.” The Frank report calls for a return to the gold standard The National Committee wants merely “sound cur- rency The Frank report calls for a return of farm ijon control to the States.

Our criticism isn't that the National Committee more liberal or less liberal than the Frank Com- mittee. The point is that the National Committee is still ducking real issues, still trying to get by with no program at all. We believe the Frank report represented an honest and intelligent effort to arrive tional eros mittee And so it The G.OP. report and- it @ basis for a Republican program. We would like | a national campaign fought out between a Deal platform and ohe based on the Frank report. But were afraid we will be disappointed Even the Frank report is too definite for a party t wants to fool all:the" people all the time. No matter what the Republicans promise, the question of whether they will keep their promise must come up. And how can the voters trust a, party whose National Committee begins a campaign watering down and distorting the report of its It must be a little discouraging to to see New by own Committee? pend two years writing a detailed report for a party | that promptly serves notice it will reduce that report to windy generalities. Submarine Warfare (New York Times) Germany has followed the Altmark affair with a threat that recalls the historic decree of ruthless ne warfare in January, 1917. The German gency announces that because of the new mmm order to arm all merchant ships, Germany “will obviously no longer be bound by the London submarine agreement” and will wage unrestricted sea warfare against all British vessels. Whether or not this is merely a threat—and later dispatches indicate that a change in policy may await a “test case"—the world can well ask what Germany has been doing since September 3 1939, but waging unrestricted warfare where it suited her to do so. Assuming, as the Germans do, that Winston Churchill sank the Athenia, did Mr. Churchill also sink more than 150 neutral vessels which have gone to the bottom in this war? At the beginning of this month 205 Swedish seamen and 347 Norwegians had lost their lives through German mines or torpedoes; would all of these have been drowned, would grief have been brought into so many neutral homes, if Germany had given them a chance to escape, as the rules of submarine war- fare prescribed? Last month the British rescued a half-dead Danish officer who had been adrift 32 hours in icy seas. He said that his ship, the 2,767-ton England, had been torpedoed without warning and all his mates had perished, About the same time a lifeboat orig- inally holding eight men from the tiny Norwegian freighter Faro was washed ashore on the British coast, with one man still breathing and three others dead of cold and exposure. If this is the sort of “restricted” warfare Germany has been waging at sea, the latest threat is meaningless. game in war for German submarines to sink a Brit- ish destroyer like the Daring, which went down Sunday with a probable loss of 157 lives. It is with- in the rules of civilized warfare for warning before siriking a merchant ship and to give the crew a reasonable chance to reach land safely. Anything else is murder. The German record of inhumanity in this war is long enough already with- out the addition of new horrors. Glass shoes are making their appearance in Berlin. Cinderellas, wishing to apply, will please bring along their ration cards. The political thermometer is rising faster than; the one on the back porch.
