REVEALS NEITHER ‘PEACE’ PARTY

Nazi Attempts to Pin ‘War’ Label on Democrats Failed, Concensus Shows; G. 0. P. Effort to Take Credit Has Failed So Far.

By DR. GEORGE GALLUP Director, American Institute of Public Opinion PRINCETON, N. J, April 24 —Which party is more likely to keep the United States out of war—the Republicans or the Democrats? When the Nazis released their recent white paper on alleged American machinations for war, many observers believed the purpose was to influence the public into thinking that the Democrats might lead the

BUSINESS HEADS

Charges ‘Mass Cowardice’ In ‘Failure to Defend Enterprise.’

Executives of American business were charged with “mass cowardice”

for “failing to defend enterprise with more than pious words” by William L. Hutcheson, president of the International Carpenters Union. Mr, Hutcheson broadcast his address over the NBC red network at 9 p. m, yesterday with WIRE as a local outlet. He said labor long has warned the nation that interference of government in free industrial enterprise would result undesirably, and that labor has long fought against

There is no inconsistency in the American Legion's demand for absolute neutrality and, at the same time, military and naval expansion, Raymond J. Kelly, Legion national commander, asserts in an article in the current issue of the magazine, Liberty. The article, “Keeping America American,” is an outline of the Legion’s national defense policy. In it, Mr. Kelly says: “Keep America American. Educate for Democracy. Perpetuate and strengthen our national defense. Preserve our national neutrality and keep our hands clean of all wars and intrigues across the seas, east or west. “That, tersely stated, is the message of the Americgn Legion

stantaneous action, and to keep our industrial set-up elastic to meet any situation that might arise.” Discussing the “home defenses” against the growth and spread of subversive and revolutionary movement and propaganda, Commander Kelly praised the work of the Dies un-American activities investigating committee, “It is not a witch hunt, as the so-called ‘liberals’ label it,” he said, “but a searching investigation into the ramifications of anti-American and un-American organizations and conspiracies. “As a result of disclosures made by the Dies Committee, the Moscow-and-Berlin-directed movements have been slowed up, but not stopped. There is much yet to be done.” Mr. Kelly said that the Legion hopes that before the Committee is finally dissolved, “the entire net-

ment. The survey finds that voters do not consider the Republican Party any more peace-minded that the Democratic Party. In fact, a slightly larger group of those! polled think the Democrats are more likely to keep us out of war than the Republicans, while many say it makes no difference what party is in power. The issue put before a crosssection of voters in the survey was as follows: “Which political party do yom think is more likely to keep us out of war—the Republicans or the Democrats?” A poll was taken on the identical question last December, and trend is as follows:
