Dewey’s “House Divided” Speech (St. Louis Star-Times) At his Lincoln Day dinner speech Thomas E. | Dewey joked that his defeat in November saved him Jfrom a double housing crisis. That may be so. But it didn’t cure him of his habit of double-talk. Once again he promised to make a speech that he didn’t make; once again he was speciific in generalities. And so many times during the campaign, Dewey reaped the disadvantages of both extreme wings of the | Republican Party without harvesting the advantages of either. He embraced the main objectives of the | Democratic Party without telling in persuasive terms how his program was different, and thereby he sounded like the “me-too” Republican whom he castigated. And yet he criticized the Democratic program in terms at | the same time so vague and so vehement that he sounded like the Republican reactionary whom he also castigated. In between these two extremes lay the place for his own program, but he .never spelled it out. | In one important respect Mr. Dewey’'s Lincoln | Day speech was different from his campaign speeches. This time instead of praising a unity that didn't exist | he recognized a disunity that does exist. Dewey is both | the beneficiary and the victim of that disunity. Be- cause of it he was nominated two times for the presi- dency. Because of it he lost what looked like a sure thing last November. Mr. Dewey’s joke about housing was this: He said if he had been elected President, he would have had |no White House to live in and one or two Demo- | cratic Houses of Congress to live with. He still has a double housing program. He doesn’t have the Blair House to live in; neither does he have a united Re- publican Party. . He and his fellow partymen live in a house di- vided against itself. The first steo toward the healing of n split personality undoubtedly is to recognize the split exists, and this at least and at last, Mr. Dewey did. But for the integration of the Republican per- sonality, we susvect the services of a more penetrating | analysis than Mr. Tewey will be reguired. | SRALESG. 710 5 | i Radio Moscow calls on American farmers io arise, since they have nothing to lose but their chains, $50,- 000 worth of machinery, a Cadillac convertible, $30,000 in the bank and regular checks from the government.— amount from the present sixty dollars a month, passed | THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU, ALASKA MARCH 2 Howard Hayes Connie Sharon Brown Joan Kelly Elsie Ferris M.
