CONTINUE FIGHT, 6.0.P. 1S URGED

Back President. | but Don’t * | Change Principles, Martin Asks.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 8 (U. P).—||

Chairman Joseph W. Martin Jr. of the Republican National Committee, said in a formal statement today that Republicans would * ‘support the President when not in con-

. flict with the great principles for

which we fought in this crusade.”

Mr. Martin, who also is House Republican leader, called for national unity and a strong national defense program. “Whiel naturally disappointed, we have every reason, because of this gtrong national support, to continue to fight for these American principles,” he said. “Success can and will be achieved if we press our cause vigorously. A crusade such as we have started cannot be stopped by this temporary setback.” He said the margin between victory and defeat was “very small” in states with large “electoral votes, adding: “When the full returns are analyzed, it will be a surprise to the

country to note how close we came

to a national victory.”
