Of Overconfidence
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BOSTON, Sept 28.-Rhode Island
Democrats renominated Senator
Gerry for a fourth term today as
Massachusetts, Democrats backed
the Roosevelt third-term drive and
Bay State Republicans demanded
practical defense measures and an
end to "one-man government"
Senator Gerry, elected to the Sem
ate in 1916, 1922 and 1884. will be
opposed by James o. McManus,
Rhode Islands Republican Lieuten-
ant Governor. The Senator's run
ming mate will be J. Howard Nc
Grath, former United States district
attorney at Providence, who was
chosen to oppose the incumbent
Republican, William H. Vanderbilt,
for Governor.
Massachusetts, Democrats, meet
Ing at Springfield, heard National
Chairman Edward j. Flynn declare
he never knew a campaign that
contained better promise for our side
at this stage of its development"
Curley's announcement that he IA
vored third term in spite of per
sonal disappointments experienced
by me at the hands of the Chief
Executive"
Lodge Praises WilIkie.
Senator Lodge. Republican, OF
Massachusetts told the MaSSaChu-
sets Republican Convention here
that under Wendell Willkie I'VE will
really see some new planes and guns
and tanks, and not be satisfied
merely with publicity and inspection
tours"
Republican Chairman Martin,
calling for Crusade" to elect Mr..
Willkie. said that under the New
Deal the Nation was drifting to-
ward disaster and one-man gov
ernment."
In his Springfield address Mr..
Flynn admonished his party to guard
against "the peril of overconfi-
dence."
Because overconfidence had
"blighted many fair hope" he told
the convention, he was therefore in
voking your greatest efforts to get
out our vote"
Wants Large Margin.
eve must not only win" he said,
"but win by so big a margin that
1t will be a long time before the
opposition again insults the Ameri-
can people by nomination for the
presidency a representative of all
those forces bent on destroying the
gains for the ordinary citizen that
have been made under our great
Chief Executive
Mr. Flynn then charged that the
Republican National Convention
which nominated Wendell L. Willkie
for the presidency was bossed by
financial interests and that Mr..
WILKES nomination was demanded
by Wall Street financial interests,
'fronted by Mr.. Lamont (Thomas
lamont of J. P. Morgan e. Co."
Mr.. Willkie, he said, was consid-
cred as potentially IAN ideal Presi-
dent for those interests" because he
had Successfully represented the
large moneyed interests of this
country against the plain citizens OF
the country"

rights and to the real needs of all
concerned
Would the Japanese have stayed
out of French Indo-China If the
United States Navy had been at
Singapore 90 days ago and if so
why wasn't it there?" demanded
another member of the audience.
MY long training makes it diff
cult for me to deal with hypothetical
questions" Mr.. Welles responded.
'As to the second part, Singapore
Is British base and its use by our
Navy would have to depend on agree
ments with England" The first
part. he added. involved many COM
plicated and intricate questions of
policy" and was embarrassing.
All Problems Considered.
Told the japanese still were buy
Ing pig iron and steel ''in this sec
ton" and asked why this weeks
embargo was confined to scrap iron.
Mr.. Welles replied: Il can say all
the problems to which you refer are
under consideration-not one is be-
ing overlooked"
Mr.. Nelles set forth that "pri-
marily requirements of the United
States in the Far East" encom-
passed:
Respect for those international
agreements or treaties concerning
the Far East to which the United
States is party-although with the
expressed understanding that the
United States is always willing to
consider the peaceful negotiation of
such notifications or changes in
in the judgment Of the signatories
be considered necessary in the light
of changed conditions
The Japanese government, how
ever, has declared that it intends
to create a new order in Asia"
continued Mr.. Welles. In this en-
deavor it has relied on the instru-
mentality of armed force and it has
made it very clear that it intends
that it alone shall decide to what
extent the historic interests of the
United States and treaty rights of
American citizens in the Far East
are to be observed
No Comment on Legislation.
During the brief question and an
swer period woman queried:
Would Mr.. Welles care to COM
ment on the stupidity and incon-
Sistency of our neutrality legisla-
ton in view of recent declarations
by the administrations"
LAS a humble member of the
executive branch of the Govern
ment," Mr.. Welles smiled, Il feel
I cannot comment on the legisla-
tive branch" He added that the
question had been answered by con-
gressional action since the European
wars outbreak.
Another questioner said: The
President has placed an embargo
on scrap iron to Japan. Why wasn't
1t done long ago?"
Mr.. Welles replied: 81 tried to
point out that over period of years
this Government has been trying
to re-establish with the government
of Japan those friendly relations
that were maintained for decades.
The question has political implica-
tions as well as material substance"
He added he wished to restate a
part of his address-that I'VE are
willing to sit around the conference
table and discuss problems in the
Pacific in the light of changing
conditions, with continuing hope of
solving all these problems in mutual
forbearance and mutual good will"
