measures to increase our Navy
and our air forces would have
been defeated overwhelmingly.
I say that the Republican lead
ers played politics with defense
in 1888 and 1889. I say that they
are playing politics with our
national security today.
One more example:
The Republican campaign ora
tors and leaders are all now
yelling me, too" on help to
Britain. But last fall they had
their chance to vote to give aid
10 Britain and other democra-
cies-and they turned 1t down.
Points to G. o. p. Vote
On Arms Embargo Repeal.
This chance came when I rec
commended that the Congress re-
peal the embargo on the ship
ment of ornaments and NUM-
lions to nations at war, and per-
NIT such shipments on a cash
and-carry basis" 1t is only be-
cause of the repeal of the en-
barge law that we have been
able to sell planes and ships and
guns and munitions to victims
of aggression.
How did the Republicans vote
on the repeal of this embargo?
In the Senate the Republicans
voted IA to 6 against it. In the
House the Republicans voted l40
to 10 against it.
The act was passed by Demo-
cratic votes but it was over the
opposition of the Republican
leaders And just to name a
few. the following Republican
leaders voted against the act
Senators McNary, Vandenberg,
Nye and Johnson; Congressman
Martin, Barton and Fish.
Now. at the eleventh hour, they
have discovered what we knew all
along-that overseas success In
warding off invasion by Dictator
ship forces means safety to the
United States as well as to those
smaller nations which still retain
their independence and the res
toration of sovereignty to those
smaller nations which have tenn
porarily lost it. One of the key
stones of American policy is the
recognition of the right of small
nations to survive and prosper.
Great Britain would never have
received An ounce Of help from us
If the decision had been left to
Martin, Barton and Fish.
Let us come down to one more
example-which took place just
two months ago.
In the Senate there was an
amendment to permit the United
States Government to prevent
profteering or unpatriotic OBJ
struction by any corporation in
defense work. 1t permitted the
Government to take over, with
reasonable compensation, any
manufacturing plant which re-
fused to cooperate in national
defense The Republican Sena-
tors voted against this RUSSELL

 Solves Problem
 It is felt in official circles that moving of the probate court out of the city hall is the best solution to 8 vexing problem of office space, since the court is not part of the city government. The city now pro- vides the court not only with office quarters, but also with light, heat, janitor service, furniture and neces- sary alterations. When the court is moved the city will have to pay most of the rent, through the towns of Wolcott and Middlebury, part of the local probate district, will also have to pay nominal sums. The two towns now pay the city a total of $s0 between them for the upkeep of the probate court.
 The changes may be delayed until the spring, to allow time for the probate court to find suitable quart CTS in some office building. With this as the case. 1t is believed that the $7,500 appropriation will be enough to pay the courts rent for the rest of the year and also to make the necessary alterations at the city hall.

Incendiary Bombs First

Incendiary Bombs First
 Following the technique of the Coventry attack, last nights raid- CTS at first dropped incendiary bombs, starting fires to guide later waves of planes to the target. Then came hundreds of high explosive bombs. A church and two convents were among the buildings damaged. There was widespread damage to the residential districts. A damaged hospital was being evacuated.
 The anti-aircraft guns kept up a continuous screen of fire, driving the raiders too high for accurate bombing. The worst part of the at- tack came early in the night. It gradually eased of and became in- termittent few hours before dawn
 Nearby Towns Hit
 Nearby areas also were bombed, one town rather heavily. Incendiary bombs hit 8 school in another town. There were two casualties when a bomb fell in a park at another town.
 London had one of its quietest nights in weeks but did not escape entirely. A bomb demolished 8 shop adjacent to a movie theater here and it was feared that there were some casualties in damaged homes.
 Raiders were reported over the south coast, the southwest, north west and northeast areas.
 Two bombs fell at Liverpool, damaging working class homes and shops, killing two sailors and injur- ing five persons.
 There was an alarm after daylight in London but it passed without in- cident.

Ohrid also reported that hundreds of Albanian rebels marched with the Greeks into Korit- "a and that the city had fallen after bayonet battle with the Ital- ian rear guard, covering the retreat. Another Ohrid report said 800 Ital- ians had been killed and 1000 wounded in the rear-guard action at Koritza. Greek losses were given as 28O killed; 400 wounded)

 Koritza once was a Greek town It was given to Albania after the World War and the Greeks have never ceased to claim 1t. The popu- lation, predominantly Greek, was said to have given the towns cap tors a hearty welcome. It is AL banias third largest town, with Q population of 26,00O.
 In the Argyrocastron valley or the south, Greek forces were report ed moving along the Zrinos river while the Italians rushed reinforce ments by airplane and Lorry from the Port of Valona and Berat, SC miles north, to oppose them. The Italians were pouring into Talepeni at the junction of the roads to Ar gyrocastron and Premeti, on which the Greeks were advancing. The Italians had cannons and anti-air- craft in the heights surrounding that town.
 At the extreme southern end o1 the front, the Greeks were pursuing the Italians aboard automobiles and motorcycles trying to cut them of somewhere between the Kalamas river and Porto Edda. The Greeks already had captured 1,500 bicycles in that sector, it was reported There were reports from Corfu that Italians retreating north along the seacoast toward Porto Edda were burning villages and that the fires could be seen from the island.
 It was reported that Greek and British planes had bombed Argyro- castron yesterday.
 Premier Gen. John Metaxas, tho strategist behind the Greek cam paign, told the nation by radio last night that "our fight will be long and hard and not strewn with roses but we will welcome all obstacles and in the end, defeat the enemy.

It is really thrilling to rush through the streets with bombs and guns going of all around you, wondering where the next one is going to drop"
 Barrage Laid Down.
 Anti-aircraft guns had put up a terrific barrage, driving the raiders higher, and searchlights picked out an occasional plane for the gunners.
 It was believed that the Germans had used more planes on the city last night than they ever had used in that area before.
 Damage was considerable and casualties were feared to have been heavy, although there was no in- dication that the town was "Coven- trated"-a reference to the raid on Coventry that has come to mean annihilation = because the town att tackled last night is much larger than Coventry and takes more time to destroy.
 Coventry had 180,0OO inhabi- tantS: Birmingham has 1,000000)

 look more and more to the ranks of labor to produce its public men," Lewis said soon after the conven- tion had instructed its officers to devise program of independent political action by labor in coopera- tion with other Liberal and pro- gressive groups"
 T believe the common people of this country are going to constantly insist on having a larger voice, a greater degree of participation in the councils of government, whether that be in the community where they live, in their homes or whether 1t will be in the legislative halls of the commonwealth, or in the federal congress of the United States.
 T stand for a greater and great CT degree of participation and urge the men and women of labor in this country to constantly aspire for that degree of recognition to which they are entitled as the accredited rep resentative of their fellows. And I ask them not to be daunted by the obstacles in their way by those who make politics 8 profession, or by those who enjoy special privileges in America and do not want to yield the rightful degree of partic- ipation to you or those whom you represent"
 It was believed that Lewis would use his chairmanship of labor's non- partisan league to obtain national audience for his views.
 Thanking the delegates for the confidence previously shown in him, Lewis said that If that confidence has been shaken to any degree in the recent past in the hearts or minds of some of you, I can only hope that some day you may come to the conclusion that whether he was right or whether he was wrong meaning myself, at least his heart was right" He was interrupted by applause and every delegate stood.
