RIDDLE BELIEVES
 ROOSEVELT BEST
Better Qualified to Lead Country in Present Crisis
 of Nation

Washington, July 22.-(UP)-So- licitor General Francis Riddle said in a radio speech last night that President Roosevelt "is better quail flied to lead the country in this na- tional crisis than Wendell L. Will kie, the Republican presidential nominee.
 He and House Democratic Leader Sam Rayburn debated "the presi- dential campaign" with Sen. Ed ward R. Burke, of Nebraska, who bolted the Democratic party over the third term issue, and c. Way land Brooks, Republican senatorial nominee from Illinois.
 Burke charged that Mir. Roose- velt,s reelection would remove "all limitations for all time to come on the tenure of office for the presi- dent. A major factor confronting the voters next November. he said would be whether to permit a chief executive to continue himself in office contrary to the prece- dent established by Washington Jefferson, Madison, Monroe and Jackson"
 Brooks said that it was "incon- ceivable but an accomplished fact that the President would use the power entrusted to him to dictate not only his own renomination fol a third term but also absolutel, dictate the nomination of a hand picked running mate"
 Riddle said the Republicans "cor' dially dislike" New Deal social leg islation but will confine their at tacks to administration of the law because they know the voters ar all for them" The theme of thei criticism, he predicted, will be goo laws. but badly administered Fur the show over to us and we vii show you how to run it."

 The new Baltic annexations join Russia's grab of Polish territory which in turn reaches to the boundaries of Bessarabia and Buko- vina now a part of the Soviet Union. The western boundary of Russa now lies directly against German territory from the Baltic to Czecho- slovakia, forming a Communistic menace which Hitler considered one of Germany's gravest dangers until the present war compelled him to agree to a temporary entente with Stalin.
 By joining the Soviet Union of Re- publics, Lithuania, Latvia, and Es- tonia have given Stalin absolute con- trol of the eastern Baltic which Nazi diplomacy would have regard ed as a cause for war prior to Sep- tember of last year.
