Landon outlines foreign policy vision for world council
Chicago May 16 LPL Alf M Landon argued Americans will take a full part in world affairs but urged a new start to mobilize public opinion on a sounder base than past efforts. He called for a united nations world council to build public opinion for cooperation and warned against relying on secret conferences. He urged lower tariffs, currency reform, and abandoning imperial preferences as nations realign financially. He criticized Roosevelt for unclear war aims and said true prosperity will erode dictatorial regimes. Only a consistent record abroad and at home makes a statesman.
