The Des Moines Register denounces Governor Dewey's stance after endorsing the Ten Commandments echoed in an editorial. Dewey’s Philadelphia campaign opened with 3,500 empty seats and a claim Roosevelt failed to foresee and prepare for war. Roosevelt’s 1933 Navy rebuilding and 1937 warning about Germany and Japan are cited as context.
The passage notes repeated conservative charges that he is a war monger after urging troop and navy expansion. It cites his January 1938 and January 1939 addresses to Congress as calls for rebuilding armed forces and increased naval strength, while Republicans in Congress push back with the same accusation.
