RUSHVILLE, Ind, Aug. 30.-Call-
ing on President Roosevelt to state
his own views. Wendell L. Willkie
has dclluunIed as revolutionary
a section of the Senate-approved
conscription bill permitting the Gov
ernment to take over certain plants
needed for defense.
1T may be that the American
people want to socialize and sovi-
etize our system of free enterprise, y
the Republican presidential nominee
told reporters yesterday.
IF they do, that is all right, but
that is one of the fundamental
issues of the campaign and I want
to debate it."
Mr.. Willkie made this comment as
he issued a 1,100-word statement
criticizing the Overton- Russell
amendment to the conscription
measure. He said the amendment
would let the Government operate
plant whenever the Secretary of
War or Navy could not reach an
agreement with the owner
Potential Dictatorship.
Declaring this authority would set
up potential dictatorship Mr..
WILKES statement continued:
mo such sweeping powers were
ever heretofore granted to a Presi-
dent of the United States even in
time of war. This amendment, if it
becomes law, will further impede
and disorganize the defense pro-
gram at the very time when we
must speed it up.
1T will constitute a threat to the
American labor and particularly
union labor, for the President of
the United States some time ago
told American labor: You cannot
strike against the Government"
After issuing his statement, Mr..
Willkie listened by radio to The
speech of Henry A. Wallace &C
cepting the Democratic vice presi-
dental nomination.
Asked for comment on the aSSer-
tion of the former Agriculture Sec
retary that the Republican party
sis the party of appeasement, Mr..
Willkie said:
There can't be anything more
wrong than 100 per cent wrong, can
there?"
Then he added, Mr.. Wallace is
q gentleman"
In terming the Overton- Russell
amendment to the consumption bill
~f
tance," Mr.. Willkie said:
Il put this up to the President
now and I hope that he does not
answer with any quip about how
Wendell Willkie loves property and
he loves humanity.
"I say, without any personal crit
icism of the President, that it has
been his good fortune at every stage
in his life to possess and enjoy more
wealth and more income than I
have. This is as true today as it
was in the past"
Revolutionary Bill.
The majority of Americans, Mr..
Willkie said, will welcome Senate
passage of the conscription bill as
'the most democratic way" of Great
ing a defense army. He said,
though, that if he were House
member he would vote against II
should the Overton-Russen amend
ment be retained.
This is a revolutionary BILL" he
told reporters.
There is hardly any business of
any kind today that may not be
subject to seizure under this pro-
vision because practically any prod
uct could 60 into the defense pro-
gram.

As he drew near Roughleg sailed

Boy whistles for the same reason

gun and we'll see what we will see"
So Farmer Browns Boy went into
the house and presently out he
came again with his terrible gun.
Straight out through the barnyard
and down the long lane toward the
Green Meadows he walked. He was
not whistling now, for he was not
happy. He was sorrowful because
Of what had happened to his pi-
geons, and also because he felt
that 1t was necessary for him to
bring out that terrible gun again.

Because OF inadequate finances,
Montana State college will not carry
on a track and field program this
spring. according to Schubert Dyche,
director OF physical education. Al
though there will be no intercollegiate
track competition for Bobcat athletes
this spring. the intermural program
will be carried on as usual
Track and field activities win be re-
newed next fall with the annual cross
country run and the usual collegiate
events next spring. Dyche said.
While financing a track program Is
a difficult problem. weather Is anoth-
er handicap, Dyche said. All Of the
