and the administration.
Opening his conference in jovial
mood, Mr.. Roosevelt reported a
White House power crisis and limited
darkly that it might have some re-

in Philadelphia.
Appearing late. the President said
the delay was caused by lack of
power for the White House elevator.
Laughingly, he said he didn't know
whether it had any connection with
the nomination of Mr.. Willkie.

NEW YORK, June 28.-Almost be-
fore the blood had dried on the
battlefields of Holland, Belgium and
France, Adolf Hitler started build
ing gun emplacements along the
devastated eastern coast of the Eng
lish Channel.
He used the quickest hardening
concrete that Nazi science could
produce, but even that took rea-
sonable length of time to solidify
sufficiently to bear the weight of
the huge guns on which he is chiefly
relying for the conquest of England.
In the last few days, however, the
concrete should have hardened. The
guns are in position at Dunkerque,
Calais, Boulogne and other strategic
points And their muzzles are
pointed toward England.

Defeated Candidates
Pledge Their Support
To WiI|kie Ticket
Supporters Are GIum,
Some Of Them fearful,
At BoIIotine's Result
BY the Associated Press.

PHILADELPHIA, June 28.-De-
feated candidates for the Republican
presidential nomination, surrounded
by glum and sometimes fearful party
workers, cheerfully pledged their
support today to victorious Wendell
L. Willkie.
During the last crucial hours of
the balloting. most of the losers
stayed by radios in their hotel rooms.
Several kept in almost constant tele-
phonic communication with Conven-
tion Hall. When the battle finally
was over. the losers quickly tele-
phoned or telegraphed their con-
gratulations to Mr. Willkie, to pledge
their support "for the fight ahead" +"
Senator Taft of Ohio called Willkie
"an extraordinarily able Republican"
and said no one can present better
than he the case of the Republican
party against the New Deal in
November"
Dewey Pledges Support.
Thomas f. Dewey sent the follow
ing telegram: Il congratulate you
on your nomination as the Repub-
lican candidate for President and I
pledge you my full support in the
fight ahead"
Senator Vandenberg of Michigan,
who also sent congratulations had q
quip for reporters after his elimina-
ton. He said that when. he came to
Philadelphia Sunday, he thought he
was going to win the nomination on
the sixth ballot.
II had the right number, but the
wrong man." he added ruefully.
ALT M. Landon of Kansas, the
1886 Republican presidential nomi-
nee, issued this statement:
1T is a splendid thing that the
convention made the nomination
without any suspicion of jockeying
or trading, and there were no
smoke filled rooms or one-man
dictation in this convention. The
fact that the convention did not
take lengthy recess from the first
to the last roll call is evidence OF
this.
Sees No Commitments.
"The political principles of Mr..
Willkie are very much in line with
mine. I believe he got the nomina-
ton free of any commitments or
promises that will in any way ham,
per him in making a splendid,
vigorous, competent Chief Execu-
tive"
my congratulations" former
President Hoover telegraphed Mr.
Willkie. THE result of a free con-
vention in free people will carry
you to victory"
Senator Bridges of New Hamp-
shire commented, "The Republican
party has nominated great Amer

Germany Expected
To Ask US. Assistance
In Feeding Refugees
Polish Relief Experience
Throws Suspicion on
Humanitarian Aims
BY BLAIR BOLLES.

Inc German government plans
soon to ask the assistance of the
United States Government in feed
ing the millions of Dutch, Belgians
and French driven from their homes
toward the South of France during
the active period of the German in
vasion of their home countries, an
authority close to the source of
Nazi decisions disclosed here today.
A request of that nature would
put the United States Government
in a difiicult position. Despite this
country's natural wish to extend aid
to civilians of nations with which
under normal circumstances we are
actually, as well as formally, on
good terms, the problem arises
whether the United States would be
willing to intrust to Germans the
distribution of the millions of DOL
lars worth of food which the persons
under consideration would need.
Later, it is expected all Europe will
be faced with a food shortage even
after the homeless are back home.
The difficulties of American agen-
cies in getting supplies to Poles after
the German conquest of Poland are
vividly recalled here, and the mem
ory contributes to the general lack of
confidence in German humanitarian
cooperation. On the purely politi-
cal side of the matter. the fact re-
mains that the Germans, with their
easy access to the Atlantic Ocean,
now are free, if they can run the
blockade, to transport goods from
the United States. They will have
that privilege so long as the Neu-
trality Act remains as it is.
May Force Public Stand.
A political result of such a Ger
man request might be to force the
administration into some public an
nouncement about its policy toward
occupied F'rance-whether it recog-
nizes the Petain government, which
for all practical purposes is a Ger
man-controlled puppet government
so long as the occupation of France
continues, or plans to deal only with
the unofficial French exile govern
ment in London.
One diplomat insists that the Ger
man dilemma may give the United
States the upper hand in dealing
with Europe if Germany is ulti-
mately victorious in the whole of its
western war. The argument runs
that Germany will have to bargain
with the United States for assistance
in coping with this problem and
that the United States will take full
advantage of Germany's position by
forcing from Berlin economic ar
rangements calculated to improve
the commerce of the Americas,
North and South.
Worlds Food Basket.
At any rate, the problem of feed
ing vast numbers of persons living
in the countries fronting the west
ern coast of Europe remains, and
the United States soon will emerge,
it is expected, as the worlds food
basket. Certainly, the British soon
will increase their goods purchas-
ing in the United States. England
is self sufficient almost in vegetables,
but fats and meat she must buy
overseas. The normal sources are
Denmark, the Netherlands, Argen-
tina, New Zealand and Australia.
The first two are off the British
list as a result of German occupa-
ton.

Mandate reads as follows:
Bearing in mind that the Amer

ity of our country, and whereas the
public mind is confused by conflict
ing reports emanating from official
Washington relative to progress being
made in preparing our national de-
tense program, both as regard to
equipment and man power, and
whereas the experience of certain
European democracies demonstrates
that in preparation of a national de-
tense program the public should be
kept informed, and whereas recruit
ing records show that during the past
three months enlistments in the reg
ular army have shown a steady in
crease (11,000 in May, 1000 in June,
$4,000 in JULY, and whereas it is OBJ
vious that the immediate need of
this country is the production of arms,
military equipment and, instruments
of modern warfare and that our gov
