 Aid for Britain, with greater pro- duction in this country, was urged by MT. Cornell. He declared that the national defense program has begged down and that the national administration leaders don't under stand production"
 Senator Danaher charged that legislative powers have been appro- priated by the President, and claini- ed trend toward regimentation.
 MT. Wrenn urged his listeners to disregard fifth columniStS who are spreading scurrilous reports" and al- legged that the President has re- peatedly broken his word.
 MT. Johnson, during his talk, said:
 AS young Republicans we're deep ly concerned about this matter of the third term. We have read too much about democracies becoming Relationships. When one person or one group of persons are left too long in power we Americans, espe- cially those of us who are in the younger group look with dismay at the regimented youth of foreign powers. We're not going to boost up to the tombs played by the rab- ble rousers of any dictatorial force. We want America to remain what 1t always has been, the land of equal opportunity for all. We want to preserve our country with traditions that have made it great. There is only one ism, that we as young Re publicans subscribe to- and that is AmericaniSm, and AmericaniSm doesn't mean regimentation of youth, it doesn't mean slave labor and it doesn't mean over throwing one of the most honored traditions in our history By that tradition I mean the third term.

came to America where opportunity and the right to work existed, and were recognized. And America grew founded on belief in freedom.
 Now Americans are, without doubt, the most generous and ideahsitc peo- pie in the world. We hear of an earthquake, a famine, flood some where, and immediately we jump to the rescue. It isn't because we're so darn wealthy: it's because we pride ourselves on being humanitarian.
 So that's why our backs get up when we see what is happening abroad. We firmly believe that such suffering is needless. We firmly be- lieve that we have basically the right form of government. We firmly be- lieve it, and we'll just as firmly de- fend our belief.
 There's revolution going on in Europe-a negative one-and the outcome will mean either a reversal to feudalisn or a continuance of our way of life. America is for the status quo of democratic principles.
 That is the American case. There are the tenets by which we live. These are the props that we refuse to have pulled out from under us.

New England Days
New England yesterday = the birth
 American Freedom.

New England yesterday = the birthplace of
 American Freedom. New England today = the balance wheel of
 American Democracy. There's something about New England that no other section of this great country of ours can match. Our scenery is not the kind that is so tremendous that it leaves you breathless with awe. It's on the honey side that you're able to grasp and enjoy to the fullest it's beauty with every turn of the road, adding new view of still greater delight.
 Our people have always been the type that know how to keep their feet on the ground. When the going is toughest, we are at our best. Events have proved this. The hurricane of 1888 had hard ly ceased to blow before had our sleeves rolled up and were deep in the process of rehabilitation No mysteries. There was a job to be done so we did it.
 As for our clirnate-maybe New England weather is a little on the changeable side but where can you match the beauty of New England snow storm-or full moon hanging low hill on a crisp October night-or an apple orchard in full bloom hillside--or fleet of saiboats scud- coast
 A person could go on like this for pages and the final answer would still be
