NEW YORK, Nov. 2.-Charles
Healy Day, aircraft plant manager
who has lived through IS japanese
bombing raids in China, has brought
back to the United States belief
that the japanese air force is bet
ter than Americas 'in quantity and

1--WE have consistently underrated
the Japanese in the air." he said to-
day in an interview. They have
splendid airplanes and lots Of them.
In China alone they are operating
between 80 0and 900 first-lins
planes.
Planes Designed There.
Americans are too supine in their
belief that the Japanese copy Occt-
dental airplanes.
II examined one Japanese pur-
suit plane shot down in the Chinese
war. 1t resembled nothing made
abroad. 1t had been designed by
the Japanese themselves and was
good for 315 miles an hour. 1t did
have japanese adaptation Of an

Berlin Sources Reveal

BERLIN, Nov. 2 (R.-Franz Won

Ambassador to Turkey, has been in
Berlin and left again to go pheasant
hunting, it was disclosed today by
authorized sources.
They said they were unable to
divulge whether he would reach the
same hunting grounds as Foreign
Minister Joachim Won Ribbentrop
of Germany and Foreign Minister
Galeazzo Ciano of Italy.
Rome reports said Count Ciano
was planning hunting trip in Ger

whether Ribbentrop, too, had gone
hunting, one source smilingly re-
piled: IT must ask you not to make

its energies to find new markets
for farm products" was enNisioned
last night by Senator McNary in
an address to a political meeting.

Dental candidate said. recalling that
he belonged to the Congress which
voted them. But they fall far
short of justice. The New Deals
unwillingness to restore agriculture
to an independent, self-reliant foot
ing makes them necessary. No ad-
ministration could reduce them un-
til it furnished a substitute"
The Oregon Senator remarked
upon the possibilities which lie be-
fore the farmer with the develop
ment of new means for utilizing
products of the soil. He spoke of
farm plastics and commented that
the yield of thousands. perhaps
millions of acres would be required
for the fabrication of a farm
grown" car.
He mentioned synthetic rubber,
rugs and draperies made from
skinned milk, among uses which
scientists indicated have reached
the promise of commercial produc-
ton.
Although, he said, Eve make haste
to free ourselves of the dependence
on imported metals. the Department
Of Agriculture, bound to the cult of
free trade, fails to defend this coun-
try and provide new opportunities
for the domestic farm producer" An
acreage of millions, he asserted,
would be required to replace our
exports of food, feed and fiber.

the alleged utterance of that Phila-
delphia lawyer, just as the third
term candidate should condemn the
act of his secretary.
Answering the Presidents state
ment that the Republican ticket
has the support of many different
elements, Mr.. Willkie said:
THE answer to that is obvious.
1t is because our party is today the
only one which offers unity to the
country. People who differ about
details can and do unite on a patri-
otic principle. They are united in
upholding the principle against the
third term and in keeping out of
war"
Taking up Mr.. RooSevelt's cita-
ton of the quick sale of short-term
Government notes as showing the
soundness of the Government
credit, Mr.. Willkie retorted:
THE shallowness of this argu-
ment must be disturbing to any one
with the slightest understanding of
economics. There is an obvious rea-
son why Government securities find
market at such low interest rates.
1t is because the policies of the New
Deal have so limited the opportuni-
ties for investment in productive
private enterprise that makes jobs.
that money has been driven out of
productive employment and into the
bomb-proof shelters of tax-exempt
Government bonds"
Mr.. Willkie also denied that the
New Deal has benefited the small
businessman. Small business, as
whole, he contended, has not made
profit in any single year under the
New Deal.
Meanwhile, Representative Martir
of Massachusetts,, Republican ma
ton chairman, predicted last night
that Mr. Willkie will be elected Tues
day by a rising 325 electoral votes.
The number required to win is 266
Mr.. Martin made the prediction
during brief conference with Mr.
Willkie, attended also by Sam Pry.
or, Eastern campaign manager, WHIT
concurred in the view. Mr.. Martin
said his calculation included New
York and Pennsylvania.
Asks Four Questions.
In summing up his answer to tht
Presidents Brooklyn speech, Mr.
Willkie declared:
THE third-term candidate con-
tinues to campaign as though hi
were still running for his first term
For the benefit of the American peo.
pie, should like for him to answer
these questions:
81. In the past seven and hall
years the New Deal has spent more
than $50 900, ,0OO, 900 and more thar
doubled the national debt. Tell me
Mr.. Third-Term Candidate, how
long can we continue with an un-
balanced budget? How long car
we continue to pile up the nation
al debt without bringing about
