group, of workers from these indus
tries.
Before the Willkie special reached
the Gem State, employees of the
principal mine and lumber districts
had been invited to designate men
of their own choosing to meet the
Republican nominee and exchange
ideas with him.
Twelve of these labor repre-
sentatives boarded the train at
Spokane, Wash, and rode part way
across Idaho with Mr.. Willkie. AS
they left the train at Handpoint,
some of them were reticient in dis
cussing their reactions, while others
said they were satisfied.
One of them offered his personal
opinion that Mr.. Willkie probably
would carry the State, while two
others volunteered the advice that
the outcome of the presidential race
is difficult to predict in that State
because of the readiness of the
voters to jump across party lines

States G. o. P. Leaders Hopeful.
Republican leaders of Idaho, in
Guiding Committeeman Ezra Whitla,
are hopeful, based primarily on the
election of a Republican Governor
two years ago.
In 1896 President Roosevelt car
ried Idaho with $4,000 votes to &C.,
600 for Landon, a majority Of SO 900.
At the same time, however, the late
Senator Borah, Republican. was
reelected with $4,000 votes to IA
900 for his opponent. In 1888 the
present Republican State executive,
Gov. c. A. Bottolfsen, was elected
by a majority of 10000 He polled
100000 votes to 1900 for his OPP
ponent.
In his final speech in Washington
State yesterday Mr.. Willkie told a
large gathering in Spokane that
President Roosevelt is trying to di-
vide the American people into
classes in order to win third term
Referring to the President, Mr..
Willkie declared "the only argu-
ment ne has made up to date for
his reelection is that he is a COM
mon man and Wendell Willkie is
the representative of the aristoc-
racy."
After reminding his audience that
he started from scratch" working
at various kinds of jobs before
studying law, Mr.. Willkie went on:
They argue that Franklin Roose-
welt understands better than I do
the aspirations and hopes Of Ameri-
can labor. I won't describe to you
Franklin Roosevelts life. I shall
describe only to you my own. I
have worked in factories. steel mills,
bakeries, on farms and on the range.
I came up the hard way"
"Of the Aristocracy."
Then, breaking into a smile he
added: Il am the representative of
the aristocracy. Look me over"
A man in the crowd was over
heard remarking to friend: That's
right. He don't look like an
aristocrat.'
In conclusion, Mr.. Willkie told
the residents of Spokane: Il ask
any man in this crowd to give me
one reason why this administration
should be reelected to public Office
except the desire of that group Of
boys down there on the pay roll
to stay on the pay roll. And I am

NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-Japan is
on the verge Of announcing whether
she will enter into an alliance with
Germany and Italy, trustworthy ad
vices received by the Associated
Press said today.
A special mission sent by Adolf
Hitler has received a warm well

and formal announcement of a new
pact that may change drastically

Whether such pact would plunge

Britain Is not clear. but it is be-
lieved she is moving to make sure
she will have a full share in the
redistribution of territory and power
which Hitler and Mussolini have
disclosed will come if and when
they defeat Britain.
In Rome last week the axis powers
drafted their new map for Africa
and Europe. and Berlin dispatches
indicate they will seal this part of
the bargain tremendously this week
in Berlin, with Spain participant.
Special Envoy in Toxic.
The projected japanese alliance
undoubtedly would provide for a
similar redrafting of the map of
Asia. the largest Of the continents,
and the rich islands fringing it,
Japan wants Frances Indo-China
and the Netherlands Indies and
seems in fair way to fastening
her control on them. If Britain
falls, she wants much Of what Brit
ain loses in the Orient, perhaps even
in India and Australia.
Such a new map of Asia would
pose sminouS decisions before the
United States.
Rigid Japanese censorship has
prevented correspondents from tele-
graphing accounts of recent diplo-
matte developments there, but this
is the situation as pictured in the
Associated Press advices:
A special German envoy. Max
Sthamer, recently arrived in the
japanese capital. In Berlin this
man is described as member of

A Myth Exploded


The myth that person, in order to speak
effectively before an audience, must be born with
some unusual ability has been exploded by the
Granville Jacobs method of cO-Ordinated coaching.
Speakers are made not "born" They are
made in the Granville Jacobs Course in Talking
and Thinking on Your Feet" during the short
period of fourteen weeks The classes meet one
evening each week during that time.
Graduates of this course who have never faced
an audience in their life previous to taking this
training, are now speaking regularly right here
in Washington, before mems service clubs, con-
ferences, conventions, business gatherings and
political meetings. Over dozen recent graduates
members of the Speakers Bureau of the Com
munty Chest.
Paul McCrea stated "Granville Jacobs meth
DDS actually trains the members of his groups to
face an audience and say what they have to say
with confidence, poise and effectiveness
You may have no desire to become a public
speaker in the popular meaning of that term.
Only small percentage of those who take this
course have that objective. Most people
take it to increase their power in everyday life.
Many Washington graduates will tell you they
have made more financial progress as the result
of fve-minute talk in the presence of those
who had the pouer to promote than they did
during the preceding five years with their nose
on the grindstone. You may have their names
upon request They are delighted to recommend
this training so that others may enjoy the same
benefits. And remember. they are the same indi-
viduals who used to quake in their boots at the
very thought of speaking before even small
audience.
The main reason for the effectiveness of this
training is co-ordnated instruction. Granville
Jacobs not only organizes the course but he con-
ducts it. He will not accept more students than
he train personally. In addition, Mr. Jacobs
is experienced. During the past four years he
has personally trained more government, business
and professional men and women in public speak
ing than any other instructor in the United States

Hotels and business houses in Key
West informed The Citizen this week that
business is picking up considerably over a
month ago. More visitors are in town
the forerunners of the hordes expected
from the time when the season officially
gets under way in another ten days.
The city's leading hostelry reported
yesterday that business SO far this month

Night clubs, restaurants and business es-
tablishnenfss citywide are feeling the up
surge of business volume-and are feeling
quite all right about it all, thank you.
Reports from state observers, who
have always been right in their predic-
ticns, still persist in pointing to the biggest

the recipient of the greatest flow of tourist

SUPPLIES ROLLING ON BURMA ROAD

Vast quantities of American supplies
are now reaching GeneralissimO Chang
Kaishek's armies for use in their war
against Japan, says George Wang, United
Press correspondent, who recently made
the trip from Lashio to RUNNING, about
725 miles, in eight days
The correspondent says he was the
first American newspaper man to travel
ever the Burma Road since it was reopened
by the British on October 10th. He rode
as a passenger on one of the regular sup
ply trucks in convoy that was not at
tackled. In fact, he adds, not a single
Japanese plane was seen throughout the
trip.
Mr.. Wang reports that about 5000
trucks are operating on the Lashio-Kum-
ming section of the highway Of these,
1900, including 200 gigantic trailer-trucks
belong to the Chinese Government and the
remainder to commercial companies.
The cargo consisted chiefly of gaso-
line, cotton yarn. railway materials, plane
engines. medical supplies and new China
bank notes printed in London. The out
bound cargo, en- route to Rangoon for
transshipment chiefly to the United States,
included Tungsten, wood oil anu tin
slabs
The writer says that bridges over the
Salween and Mekong rivers nave been
bombed repeatedly by japanese planes
but are repaired as fast as they are hit and
that traffic flows smoothly over the great
mountain highway. The road is policed
by soldiers and crews of laborers stand by
to make repairs in the quickest possible
time He tells of sign on the Salween
bridge urging workers to keep the bridge
open as the "key to our long re-
sstance"
In this connection, We are reminded
that Nicol' Smith,, in his book, Burma
Road" published this year, describes his
trip along the Burma Road. Significantly,
he tells of monument on the outskirts of
the ancient city of Hsia-Kwan, near the
Burmese border, which carries an inscrip-
ton in huge Chinese characters reading,
This road was built by the natives of this
district, without the aid of foreign imple-
ments.'
Americans will be interested in this
report of traffic on the Burma Road, which
means that supplies are reaching the
Chinese armies of Chang Kai-shek.

Near the end of October, a
noteworthy event occurred The
Business Week industrial activity
index, which Is one OF the stand
ard business barOmeters, touched
136. That was seven-tenthS of a
point higher than the previous
all-time record, which was reach
ed during the week OF July q,
back in tabled and fabulous 1929
What this obviously means is
that we are in the midst of a
boom-and a boom that will un-
dOubtedly reach giddy heights
before it is done. Equally OBJ
vious, it is not a healthy boom. 1t
is based upon one thing, and one
thing only-war. 1t will stop
when war and war preparations
stop. And, like all war booms,
it is inflationary in tendency.
DismisSing that for the mo-
ment, it seems clear that a period
of considerable artificial prosper
ity lies ahead of us. Practically
all business will be affected. Mod
ern war and modern prepared
ednesS programs call for an un-
precedented degree of national
effort For every soldier in uni
form, there must be half-a-dozen
men or more behind him in fac
tories and supply depots, produc-
ing, distributing and handling
the hundred and one articles that
today's soldier must have if he is
to be an efficient destroyer. In
modern war, in brief. the civilian
population is as much involved as
the actual armies in the field.
Some industries will probably
expand at a tremendous rate dur
ing the next few years. We have
seen signs of that already in air

Railroad carloadings will be

And such basic heavy industries

problem in figuring how to keep

Normally, a great jump in pro-

not be true this time. This year,
