Both have been highly honored.in the past by the Be* publican party; Stimjson as Secretary ■of War and Secretary of State, and Bncx as thy Vice Presidential nominee in 193d, Reaction on Capitol Hill to' the appointments has been that, while both men are capable and outstanding individuals, the public positions they have taken on the international situa­ tion are not representative of the col­ lective thought of the Republican party/ In fact the latest Presidential appointments, as Vreli as other recent happenings, point more and more to the Democratic party becoming the ' War party and the Republican party becoming the Peace party in the com­ ing campaign.
