day he would not enter "into advanc
commitments and understandings
with the Roosevelt administration re
garding foreign policy.
He gave his press conference
statement saying that during the las
weeks "several persons have corm
municated with me, some frankl
stating that they did not represen
the administration, while others le:
their status in doubt.
"It was suggested by some of these,
Willkie continued, "that it was de
sired that I enter into certain com
mitments on specific proposals con
cerned with the foreign policy of thi
United States, provided the admin
istration would take certain position
with reference thereto.
"In order that there may be n
possible misinterpretation, I want t
make my position quite clear. Firs
of all, my general views on the for
eign policy and vital interests of th
United States in the present inter
national situation are well known
having been stated by me public
several times."
"As to specific executive or legisla
tive proposals, I do not think it ap
propriate to enter into advance cor
mitments and understandings."
