Squeezed almost off the front pages by the political news was alarming word from Berlin that the Russians once ugain were try- ing to push us out of Berlin. Al- most squeezed off the front pages also was news that President Tru- man had signed the peacetime draft—probably the most momen- tous legislation in recent history. In other words we face the prospect that that son of yours, with thousands of other sons, may have to march off to anothér war This was the most important thing the Republicans overlooked ISOLATION 3 BORE FROM WITHIN They overlooked it partly be- cause they couldn't afford to face it, partly because they were 50 busy fighting a rear-guard action against the isolationists within their own ranks—the leaders who still think the US.A. can remain aloof from the world. Your cous in Bertie McCormick put up the chief fight on this point. That was the reason he walked out of the convention at the end rather than vote for Dewey—also why he refused to let the Illinois Delega- tion, over which he remained su- preme, support anyone but Taft. To the bitter end, Cousin Bertie and his Chicago Tribune remained ; aloof and alone—the way they would like to have the United States.
