IF the president desired some

Willkie concluded.
WILKES train made an un-
sheduled stop at Salamanca, N. Y,
and Willkie put this question to
Mr.. Roosevelt, asking a reply in
the presidents next speech:
why did you, Mr.. President, if
you saw the necessity for a pre-
paredness program because of the
war, tell congress to go home last
June before the preparedness pro-
gram had been adopted?"
Willkie told the crowd, estimated
at more than 1000 by Erie Rail-
road Policeman B. H. Rush, that
he hoped they would listen closely
to Mr.. Roosevelt's answer, al
though he hasn't answered any
of my other questions"
The Republican nominee said
that he hoped Mr.. Roosevelt soon
would discuss the third term is

OF domestic questions, Willkie
said he wanted to bring about a
United States with an income of
more than 100000, 100000. He said
there was no issue about social
security, collective bargain ing,
Wage-hour legislation or relief,
except that I want to preserve
these social gains by making the
government solvent" These gains
would be wiped out, he said, if the
nation goes down the road of
bankruptcy.

BERLIN, Oct. 25. CUP)-Author-
lied German sources said today that
Germany's diplomatic talks with
France and Spain are designed TO
lay the basis for "a new order in
Europe and checkmate allen influ-

the new German order.
The German sources said that
they were unable 10 reveal anything
of the subject matter o. the con-
versations beyond an outline OF
the. basic policy which underlies
Gerfhany's attitude toward Europe.
Our basic policy these sources
said. which determines these talks
is a desire to put Europe on its
feet again independent OF alien
influences which are still making
or trying to make themselves felt
Our present fight is against
those who do not permit US to do
this"

HiHer's S Plan for
France Includes
Face Saving Terms

VICHY, Oct. 25. CUP) - Adolf
Hitler's terms to France-a possible
prelude to a demand that Great
Britain make peace with a conti-
mental bloc-were believed today
to include a grant of Axis conces-
sions in TuniSia and Morocco.
Official sources here insisted that
not even the foreign office had
been advised of the German terms
However there was reason to be-
lieve that Hitlers proposal con-
tained these points among others
French agreement to share
control of Tunsia with Italy
2-French agreement to shtlre
control of Morocco with Spain and
Germany.
3-Retention of both Nice and
Corsica in contrast TO reports that
these territories would be cedci
to Italy.
Best information here was that
Hitler's intention, it was believed
here. is creation OF a solid bloc
of continental powers under Ger
many's leadership which will pre-
sent a united front against Britain.
Following creation of this new
order it was suggested. Hitler
then could propose to Britain that
a general peace settlement be made
on what was described here as a
compromise" basis.
The alternative TO British refusal
TO talk terms presumably would be
hoStilitieS on a wider scale than
even.
Such q settlement. it was said
here, would save faces on all
sides
