Dewey Platform Frames Postwar Policy And Leadership
The Republican platform backs nonpolitical military affairs under Dewey with Marshall and King retained in their posts. It endorses organized international cooperation without a World State, pledges full employment and farm support through market pricing, and calls for deregulation and private enterprise while maintaining government limits. Warren outlines key domestic aims, and Hoover warns against world supergovernment, urging cooperation among sovereign nations. Dewey secures nomination as Bricker backs his bid to defeat the New Deal.
