are no new frontiers in science,
agriculture or industry-that there
are no new fields for development
and expansion. I am in complete
disagreement with that philosophy
I will not accept that fate for the
young people of my country. I
fervently believe that there is not
only opportunity ahead for young
men like you, but there are greater
opportunities than we have ever
dreamed of.
I ask you listeners-is there any
body in this country who does not
want a lot more than he has of
the good things of life?
1t is certain that there are mil
Ions in actual want of the neces-
sites of life. To devote ourselves
to satisfying those wants and needs
would call for the employment of
all of the able-bodied workers in the
country.
Only Way to Make Jobs
Lies in Production. -
If only the New Deal would stop
holding us back, if only the Gov
ernment would let us 60 ahead, the
unemployed would get work, and new
and better jobs would be waiting
for young men and women .. The
secret not a hidden secret,
but the New Deal is blind to it
is production. Production of the
things we want and need. That is
the way. and the only way, to make
jobs.
MIR. TOuhey-What has the New
Deal done about production?
Mr.. Willkie-The New Deal has
been constant brake on produc-
ton. The red tape regulations of
the many agencies, bureaus and
commissions in Washington have
been a brake on business and pro-
duction. The unscientific, haphaz-
ard tax system, which discriminates
against small business, has been a
brake on business and production.
Tlnkering with the value of Our
money. and the arbitrary power still
held by the President to change
further the value of our money, is a
brake on business and production
The hostile attitude toward busi-
ness by this administration. with the
constant threat of enacting some
new law or leveling some new IN
dictment, IS a brake on business and
production. If our Government
would only say to all those who are
engaged in production, or who want
to engage in production and thereby
employ men and women by the
thousands. that regulations will be
simplified; that the rules will be
stabilized that taxes will be
made fair =. that arbitrary powers
of life and death over business will
be ended, then and only then will
business and production pick up in
this country Then the pickup will
be so great that the demand will not
be for jobs, but for workers.
That is the land of opportunity
we can and should make America.
I promise that we can, and under
my administration We will, make II
such a land of opportunity.

seek in any way to interfere with
labor's free choice of its own rep
resentatives. 1t is likewise up to
laboring men themselves to see that
they get men of character as lead
ers-men who are truly devoted to
the interest of labor. Labor does
have the right to expect that Gov
ernment will aid in protecting it
from racketeers. the same as the
Government should protect society
generally from racketeerS. One big
reason why any form of racketeer-
ing exists today is the evil tie-up be-
tween the racketeers and the dis
honest political machines in our
great cities
When the racketeers and political
bosses are in partnership, your pro-
lection is lacking. The corrupt polit-
ical machines in Jersey City, Chicago
and elsewhere, from which the New
Deal is now deriving political sup
port for its third term, are an eXpla-
nation of why we are afflicted with
rackets One sure way to full pro-
lection for the labor movement is to
smash such corruption in politics e.
I promise you that when l am
elected President I will not play
ball with corrupt political bosses
who permit or encourage racketeer-
| ing.
Whatever a President can do to
insure high character and honesty
in political Office I shall do. I shall,

with the multitude of honest, sin
cere leaders of labor to help them

japanese Firm Gets
Mexican Oil Concession
BY the Associated Press.


MEXICO CITY, Oct. 16.-The
Japanese Veracruzana Oil
Co. has government approval to ex-
plot 247,0oO acres in Veracruz State.
ub-secretary Modesto ROLAND of
the Ministry of Economy approved a
contract under which the Japanese
firm will have 5-year exploratory
rights, subject to extension, it was
learned last night.
If oil is found, the contract pro-
vides, 5 per cent royalty will go
to the landowners and an equal
amount to the government.
Japan has been a persistent seeker
after Mexican oil The Laguna Pc
troleum Co., Japanese firm, signed
a 100000 contract in April of this
year to purchase Mexican oil, gaso-
line and kerosene The contract was
to run from May l, 1910, to May /,

dependence says, are created equal
in the sight of God.
Every one in this Nation realizes
what a sacrifice you are being asked

even temporarily. Others have not

Powerful Army Would
Ward of DictatOrs.
I have favored asking this sacri-
flee of you. I have favored it pub
licly. 1 believe, therefore, that it is
my duty to tell you what my reasons
are.
You are all familiar with the ter
rible events that have been happen
ing in the rest of the world. You
are aware that huge armies have
been built up in Europe and in Asia
These armies are commanded by
dictators who do not hesitate to at
tack other countries whenever it is
to their advantage to do so.
My reason for favoring this sacri-
flee was not that you should go to
war against these dictators. I dc
not contemplate for you task Sc
cruel as that. We must avoid 1t If
we can. What I would ask of you
is that you form yourselves into an
army-the best and most efficient
army on earth. I believe that If the
United States has such an army
joined by navy and an air force
those dictators will not dare to strike
at us.
That is nv first reason for this
sacrifice. But there is another rea-
son also. There is a reason which
all of us must understand so clearly
that we shall never forget it. When
you are in the Army you must
think of that reason often. And ]
! shall think of it often. 1t will be
like a bond between us, because OF
it, whatever is given me to do, shall
/ nOU leC you QOWn.
The reason for this sacrifice-the
second and deepest reason-is be-
cause here in America we still have
freedom We still have freedom tc
speak and freedom to worship: w
still have freedom to vote and tt
move about; we still have freedom
to work at what we please and Il
own what we please
In no other major country car
this freedom be found. Even Brit
ain has had to give it up because sh'
Is at war. 1t is here, and here alone
And If we do not guard it-witf
our lives if necessary-it will perish
from the earth.

men who opened up this new worlo

the men who fought to bring forth
our United States, under George
Washington and under Abraham
Lincoln. Those are the men whom
you will join tomorrow when you

Of democracy Is founded on the
secret ballot. When you 60 behind
the curtain of a voting booth, you
are free to use your own judgment.
You are free to vote for whatever
candidate you choose. When you
drop your ballot in the ballot box,
the secret of your vote is kept for
ever. No one can find our how you
have voted. Any threats or state
ments to the contrary that have
been made by local representatives
of the New Deal are absolutely false.
Such threats are intended to de-
prive you and other American citi-
zens of your most sacred right of
citizenship. free and secret
ballot.
Mr.. Touhey-Mrs. I. T. Saxton of
Portland, Oreg, writes: Il have
been surprised to find a number of
voters who think because they are
registered Democrats they must
vote that ticket"
Mr.. Willkie-Well, Mrs. Saxton-
the truth is, am not SO much sur
prised, as am convinced that such
false information is being circulated
by the New Deal among the people.
You voters are perfectly free to
vote for whatever candidate you
want. In our democracy it is your
duty to vote in accordance with
your free choice.
You must remember party en-
rollment is only for the purpose of
permitting you to vote in the nomi-
mating primaries of that particular
party. 1t has nothing to do with
your right to vote as you please in
the election. In fact, you do not
have to enroll as member of any
party in order to vote in an elec-
ton. All that is necessary is that
you register. Anyone enrolled in the
Democratic party can vote for Sem
ator McNary and myself.
Mr.. Toughey-Now, Mr.. Willkie,
know you have something you want
to say to the young men of the
country, who, like myself, are to reg
lister tomorrow for selective service.
Solemn Moment Of New
Responsibilities Arrives.
Mr.. Willkie-I do very much appre-
ciate this opportunity to speak to-
night to the young men of our
country. Tomorrow will be one of
the most important days in their
lives. Tomorrow they are going
out to register for compulsory mill
tary service.
To every man in the course of his
life come few-a very few-im-
pressive solemn moments. Each such
moment stirs his deepest emotions
Each marks the beginning of some
new responsibility. Each lies in
the solemn realm of the spirit and
of the conscience which we seldom
talk about.
A mans marriage is such a mo-
ment; likewise the birth of his
child; likewise certain religious
sacraments, and likewise his re-
sponse to some great responsibility
that he has undertaken. Those are
lifes solemn moments. Such mo-
ment comes when a man puts his
life at the service of his country.
Tomorrow that hour will strike for
every man in America between the
ages of 81 and 35. 1t will strike
alike for all-for rich and poor
privileged and handicapped, those
who live in the West and those who
live in the East. 1t will strike for
men of every race. religion and
color, who. as our declaration of in

when he registers, will know what
freedom means. I hope that every
one Of you will realize that it was
freedom that enabled us to build
America; to make for yourselves
here beyond the oceans a better life,
a happier, a more hopeful life than
mankind has ever had before.
And this is what I want to talk
to you about most seriously OF all
this life that we have had here in
America.
Many of you, I know, have not
had your full share of this life, or
even an opportunity to share In 1t.
Many of you are skeptical of it.
Many of you, being skeptical, will
even resent the sacrifice you are
being asked to make for it.
Believe me, I recognize the prob
lem that confronts you. realize
the injustice that has been done to
you. I know that the roots Of your
trouble lie in stony ground. They
lie in the mistakes Of my generation.
Let us recognize the simple truth.

failed us. 1t is the other way
around. We have failed you.
And want to plead with you to-
night not to judge this cause to
which you have been called, this
great cause of freedom-by the mis-
takes that my generation has made,
whether in private life or in Office.
Do not judge this cause by our fall
ure to give you jobs. Do not judge
it by our idle factories, our shabby
houses, our stagnant markets. our
squabbles and dissensions among
ourselves.
These are not freedom These are
not the cause in which I would ask
you to enlist.
Cause Lies Ahead With
Will to Build Again.
The cause I mean lies ahead OF
you. The cause lies in that un-
known future where free men must
and shall exist. You who have so
Justly turned away from my gen.
Grafton, you who have in your
thoughts abandoned our American
doctrines for other doctrines and
other creeds-I plead with you to
judge us, not by what we have been,
but by what you can make us be-
come.
These. unhappy days through
which we have passed, when free
men became the slaves of idleness,
these grim days through which we
must now pass to make ourselves
strong and to keep ourselves free
these are not like the future days
to which I call you. These are not
like the days which. If you preserve
freedom on this earth. you will be
able to build for yourselves.
When you register your names
tomorrow you are registering one
more chance for freedom, your
chance for freedom
And If you thus dedicate your
selves to that new chance make
you this promise. I make 1t not
alone myself but for those who
stand with me.
We promise you, young men OF
America. that We shall bend all our
efforts, that We shall employ all our
skill and knowledge, to release our
gigantic industries to build the
things that you will need. We shall
waken America, the whole vast con-
tinent of America to build your
armaments. Those who stand with
me desire that you should never
have to fight. They know that the
more quickly armaments are built,
the greater is the chance for peace.
