Bertie McCormick Is Tricked Again!
CHICAGO-(FP)-"Tricked again" by "New York control" of the Republican party, the Chicago Tribune announced that it is ready to back an America First party formed in the midwest.
Accusing the Democratic party under "PAC control" of being pro-Russian and the Republican party under Willkie and Dewey of being pro-British, Col. Robert R. McCormick declares: "The Tribune will support any label or any movement that will work to bring the American government back into the control of Americans."
Recognizing that reactionary Southern Democrats will not vote Republican and that until reaction in both North and South is united politically it cannot rule, the Tribune asserts that "some party label must be found under which outworn issues can be scrapped and forgotten."
In its clarion call for an ultra-nationalist, isolationist party, McCormick says: "The work must begin at once if such an organization is to be tested in the congressional elections two years hence and is to bid for victory in 1948."
