The Gallup Poll Shows—

32% SAY PEACE DOESN'T DEPEND

ON SINGLE PARTY:

Either One in Power Would Try to Follow Public Opinion, They Believe.

By DR. GCORGE GALLUP

Director, American Institute of Public Opinion

PRINCETON, N. J, Dee. 13Which party is more likely to keep the United States out of war—the Republicans or the Democrats? With some G. O. P. leaders attempting since the war to establish the Republican Party as the “peace” party, this question takes on special significance as the 1940 political campaign approaches. To find the attitude of voters throughout the rountry, the Amerfcan Institute of Publie Opinion has conducted a survey among a representative sample, or cross-sec-tion, of the population. The results show that Republican efforts to date have apparently not succeeded in convincing voters that the G. O. P. is any more peaceminded than the Democratic Party. In fact a slightly larger percent age of voters think the Democratic Party is more likely to keep us out of war than the Republican Party. The largest group of voters polled, however, say they think it makes no difference what party is in power.

Two Sides Presented

Voters who think the G. O. P. is more likely to keep us out of war argue, chiefly, that “it was the Democrats who took us into the last war.” Those who, on the other hand, place greater faith in the Democratic party declare that the foreign policy of the present Democratic Administration is better than anything yet proposed by the Republicans, The rest of the voters argue, however, that “parties ana politics have little to do with getting into war.” that “it all depends on what happens in the next few months” and that either party, when in power, would “try to follow public opinion.’ The issue put before the crosssection of voters in the survey was as follows: “Which political party do you think is more likely to keep us out of war—the Republicans or the Demecrats?”

The replies of those with opinions divided as follows:

Republicans more likely .... 21% Democrats more likely ..... 27 Makes no difference ...... . 52 Approximately one voter in every seven (14 per cent) expressed no opinion on the issue If the present attitude continues, if no one group is identified in the public mind as more of a “peace” party than any other group, one result may ba the removal of the peace fssue from among the leading controversies of the political campaign Especially interesting is the vote by political parties in the survey. Despite attempts by some Republicans to attach the peace label to their party, about half of Republican rank and file voters say they think peace does not depend on the party in power. Most of the other half, however, think peace is more assured under the Republicans, while an equal number of Democrats think peace is more certain under the Democrats. The party vote follows: Which party is more likely to keep us out of war?
