The War's End Depends on Election, Sokolsky Argues
George E. Sokolsky argues the war will continue regardless of the presidential winner. He contrasts Roosevelt and Dewey on policies like Lend Lease and government authority, warning that Supreme trends toward autocracy persist in both U S and Europe. He frames the election as a choice between continued bureaucratic dominance or renewed Congressional power. He notes the Wagner Act as a sign of Roosevelt policy and urges American reorientation toward accountability and less elite control.
