THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE “ALL THE NEWS ALL THE TIME” VOL. LVL, NO. 8450. JUNEAU, ALASKA, WEDNESD;Y, JUNE 26, 1940. MEMBER ASSOCIATED PRESS PRICE TEN CENT3 —— GERMANY, BRITAIN STRIKE IN AIR RAIDS HOOVER TALK IS CHEERED BY REPUBLICANS Stay at Pe'éa, But Help| | Allies, Recommends | Ex-President PHILADELPHIA, Pa. June 26— Former President Herbert Hoover, last night demanded the abolish- ment of the New Deal and scrupu-| lous avoidance of war before an excited Republican convention which gave him the noisiest demonstra- tion yet in the session. | Hoover said we should keep Am- erica at peace unless the Western Hemisphere is attacked and yet declared that there ig no such thing as isolation. A realistic view of the war, he said, demands that all possible as- cistance be given the Allies, No Danger Now He cautioned against exaggera- tion of our immediate danger, say- ing the ocean is broad and an in- vader must first pass the Navy, which is “strong enough to stop anything in sight now.” Hoover said the New Deal fol- lowed “one suicide road for liberty that led to disaster in Europe.” Outlines Tasks He outlined seven tasks for Re- publicans as follows: 1) Develop and maintain foreign policies which will, 2) keep us out of war unless attacked, 3) facilitate all nations fighting for freedom in procuring materials and munitions, 4) sub-| ject to definite limitations which‘ will keep us out of war, 5) recall cur people from the ‘flnm.flmass"‘L of the New Deal, 6) reestablish stamina, character and ideals, and ' 7) regenerate hope and confidence in America. Hoover said “it is nonsense that we cannot defend freedom here even if the Old World fails.” Earlier the Platform Committee completed a foreign affairs plank providing for criticism of the Ad- ministration on the ground it neg- lected national defense. The plat- form also includes a strong keep- out-of-war plank and a promise to assist oppressed peoples. | e Foreign | Policy Is Hard Nut Republican—an vention| Stumped by Action fo | Take-Hoover Up | PHILADELPHIA, Pa.,, June 26.— “In the Navy Tradition o r—— wrding to tradition at the Annapolis Naval Academy, a midshipman’s i girl must affix his epaulets when he gra m Morton, of Charlestown, \Bwumbeller, from his home town, see to it that tradition is served, wsign in the navy.
