Wendell Willkie has cut out a
huge new job for himself
That revelation came to me in
one startling rapier sentence hurled
across his desk as I sat opposite
an unsuspecting inquiring reporter
It is the biggest job Willkie ever
tackled Bigger I am sure he be-
lieves than being President even in
wartime would have been
It is not the job of leading a third
party I have his word that he con-
siders formation of a thirl party
impossible
It is the job of arousing America
to leadership in an all-out offensive
for a global peace when the war
ends— beginning now -
With his well-thatched head and
his square shoulders silhouetted
against the flashing panorama of
the East river below Willkie talked
to me in the office of his law firm
on Broad street in New York A
jangling telephone interrupted occa-
sionally he paused to give quick
answers to pencilled notes from his
secretary but he kept his mind on
far horizons as he answered a list
of 14 questions which I had pre-
pared The remark that convinced me
that he means business was a part
of his answer to the ninth of my 14
questions After he had stressed the
necessity for more American lead-
ership in the war effort of the United
Nations I asked:
"What will happen if the United
States doesn’t take this leadership
you say is necessary? How will it
affect the war? How will it affect
the post-war world?”
American Leadership
Willkie has a habit of looking you
in the eye He doesn’t often gaze
into space and meditate before he
speaks
“If there is not a United Nations
united command and united council
with America playing its part in
the leadership — I mean political and
moral leadership as well as military
leadership— it will mean that the
war will last longer many more
lives will be lost uselessly "
By this time his words were stac-
cato each sharply emphasized the
words of a man who wanted his
hearers to believe The last phrase
came crescendo:
" and the world will revert
to the old spirit of nationalism"
Then he turned and looked at me
Intensely: “That’s why I have dedi-
cated my life to this job"
Those words and the way they
were spoken convinced me that
Wendell Willkie whatever his polit-
ical ambitions might be had drawn
blueprint for his own future that
was wider than the map of the
United States
"We have to get started now" he
said “we can’t wait until the war
is over We have to begin to build
the machinery step by step It isn’t
a thing that will come full-blown out
of the bottle”
"What are yon going to do about
it?” I asked '
Third Party Again
"I am going to speak I am going
to write I am going to try to con-
vert the country to the belief— and
I am going to work within the
framework of the Republican party
toward the adoption of this idea aa
a policy"
"What about a third party?" I
asked
"The formation of a third party is
legally impossible" he replied im-
patiently brushing aside the political
implications He returned to the
question of a war and peace policy
- Just what is this "policy”? Mr
Willkie made that pretty plain in
bis report to the nation He said:
“To win that peace thretf' things
seem to be necessary— first we
must plan now for peace on a global
basis second the world must be
free economically and politically
for nations and for men that peace
may exist in it third America
must play an active constructive
part in freeing it and keeping its
peace"
Willkie wants Immediately a full
statement of post-war aims an ex-
tension of die Atlantic Charter so
written that all the nations of the
globe will be assured that all are
to be co-beneficlaries He wants
immediately a real United Nations
united command and a united coun-
cil ("no second class allies”)
Out of this American leadership
wilL automatically develop he be-
lieves because of the “reservoir of
good will” which America has built
up on her non-imperialistic policy
The immediate creation of a unit-
ed command and a united council
Willkie said will provide the proper
machinery for carrying the war to
a speedy victory and form the nu-
cleus ' of the world organization
which can establish and maintain
the global peace — the ultimate ob-
jective '
The necessity for action now Will-
kie stressed again and again
On Organization
More of his own ideas came out
in response to questions on specific
issues which I felt he had not
clarified in his report to the nation
I asked him how he expected to
provide security for the small de-
pendent nations and the colonies if
the great nations surrender their
political power over these quasi-
dependencies “We cannot expect to restore the
economic boundaries of the world
after the war" he said “but we
can see that the small dependent
peoples are allowed to benefit from
the revenue of the things they pro-
duce— that they are not exploited
There will have to be an interna-
tional police force to provide for
their security but we must see that
these countries are provided with
sanitation health and education
paid for by their own resources un-
til they can be built up to the point
where they can govern themselves
It may take centuries That doesn’t
matter But there can be no peace
in the world until problems like the
problem of India are settled under
international arrangement with the
obligations to such nations guaran-
teed by some kind of an interna-
tional group But we cannot wait
for an organization to be formed
The United States must start by
guaranteeing such obligations later
bringing in the other nations of the
world" v
“Can Russia be fitted into the
democratic picture?” I asked "and
how should we avoid forcing our
brand of democracy on other na-
tions which might not want it?”
Russian Cooperation
Willkie answered these two ques-
tions in one He said: “Russia can
be fitted into the international pat-
tern I believe Russia will co-
operate It can then be left to work
out its own internal affairs This
applies to other nations as well The
point is that we must shift the lead-
ership as it is today from an Anglo-
American leadership to a United
Nations leadership Then the Unit-
ed States will naturally assume the
lead because the other nations will
automatically turn to us for guid-
ance” “Should there be encouraged non-
governmental groups to work out
a post-war program now?" I asked
“Certainly’ he said “the more
discussion the better People all
over the country should be encour-
aged to speak their minds on the
subject Universities should take it
up Radio and press must do their
part Public opinion is formed in
the home You and I may have a
wider field for expressing ourselves
but public sentiment itself must be
built through individual discussion”
My time had long run out but not
Mr Willkie’s patience When I left
I bad the feeling that 1 had been
consuming the first hour's worth of
a lifetime dedicated to the building
of a new world
If the gentleman behind the paper-
littered desk overlooking the East
river is as convincing to others as
he was to me perhaps something
never dreamt of in its philosophy is
about to come out of that corner of
Manhattan bounded by Broad and
Wall streets
