New York, Feb. 12.
Mr. Wendell L. Willkie, Republican chieftain, yesterday said the Demo-erades can become "dictators who can determine there shall be peace where all men live under freedom," if Britain wins the war.
Speaking at the Lincoln Day dinner of the National Republican Party, Mr. Willkie challenged the G.OP. to "preach a positive doctrine" and warned against lapsing into a mere "party of negation. given only io it-finding. l am here to challenge you to a higher fate than compromise, negation and death," Mr. Willkie said.
He made only a brief reference to his recent trip to Great Britain but reiterated a call for sufficient American aid to make Britain victorious in her struggle against the Axis Powers.
"If we give the fighting men of Britain equipment to wis," Mu Willkie said, "we can make of Democracy an expanding doctrine—we can be dictators who can determine there shall be peace where all men live w.der freedom."
Mr. Willkie made clear that his current agreement with the bulk of the New Deals foreign policy did not mean acquiescence with the entire New Deal. He asserted that the New Deal party has no faith in the people although it has "at last grasped the meaning of the i.ternational situation."—United Press.
