The sudden decision of Wen-'” dell Willkie to drop out of the race for the Republican nomination, due to his lack of success in the Wiscon sin primaries,\has been interpreted I in dozens of different ways, both par- j ties presenting arguments to show > how this action benefits their chances.

But Mr. Willkie made it clear that he thouht Dewey beat him out in the Midwest because the Republicans there think of Dewey as an, '‘isola tionist” and were apparently qpposed to his own international policies. Since his international ■ views are. known to be similar to the Presi dent’s, there , are some who believe that, Willkie will support Roosevelt if Dewey is nominated and that such action might conceivably swing the election to the President.
