New York November 12. Former Republican candidate Willkie rejected any totalitarian front in which a minority would surrender beliefs to unite the nation.

He outlined five steps to curb inflation and economic errors, including cutting nondefense expenditures and preserving private capital. He urged continued support for the campaign’s organizing efforts but warned against personal advantage.
