try, the sale of consumer goods and the financing of consumers. The theme of the conference is ::"Trends in Consumer Credit as Related to Consumer Goods"
 "The purpose of the conference" said MT. Ackerson, lis to call the attention of all business men to the significance of the amount of busi- ness now being done on a credit basis, and to suggest ways by which this large volume of trade can be stabilized for the future. It is also the purpose of the conference to con- sider the purchasing power of con- sumers, which has been increased through credit practices. More than IS billions of dollars worth of goods and services are sold to con- sumers annually in America. This includes also the credit extended to consumers by banks, finance com- panies, Morris Plan Banks, credit unions and small loan companies.
 Connecticut is well represented in this total amount of credit busi- ness and the Connecticut Associa- tion of Small Loan companies be- lieves discussion of consumer credit will be enlightening to busi- ness men and consumers alike"
 Invitations have been extended to the governor, Raymond E. Bald win, to the Chambers of Commerce in Connecticut, to retailers, install ment dealers, credit bureaus, banks and all financial institutions which deal with consumers.
 Fred H. Loyegrove of Bridgeport, chairman of the executive commit tee of the Connecticut Association of Small Loan companies, will pre- side at the dinner. Dr. M. R. Neil field, economist for the Beneficial Management corporation will act as chairman of the conference.

political skill when he thumped down against delay of the conscription measure without even consulting the leaders of his party?"
 MT. Lackey continued: While weighing the matter of his political skill, must point out that he does not seem to take criticism graciously. His reaction to Governor Lehman's charge that Roosevelt's defeat would please the dictators appeared to be impulsive. His charges duplicating President Roosevelt in the Munich be- trayal of Czechoslovakia seemed very impulsive and were very inaccurate" ;"
 Roosevelt, on tn other hand, said MT. Lackey, has proved he can deal with Congress and public opinion in the great give and take of Amer ican democracy. He can handle wisely the great international clash of for eign politics"
 Continuing, MT. Lackey said: When we vote for Roosevelt, you and know we are getting man who can do the job, because he has done it superbly for seven years. We know the men whom we are getting in our national cabinet. The cream of both the Democratic and Re- publican parties are there-expe- rienced, capable men, whom we can trust to lead us through this peril ous time"
 Policies Conflict
 Charging that Willkie has pro- fessed one foreign policy and at the same time urged the election of Sen- ators and representatives who pro- fess another, MT. Lackey declared: When the enemies of the Roosevelt Hull foreign policy flock into the Willkie camp, become very sus- picious, especially if the combination consists of the aggressors on the outside and the appeasers on the ln- side of our country.
 "This is not to question MT. Will kie's sincerity. But the enemies of the Roosevelt-H foreign policy at home and abroad see in Roosevelt's $ defeat a great psychological gain It's not so much that they love Will kie-as that they hate Roosevelt's policy more, and see in his defeat the confusion of their enemies"
 Pointing out that Willkie has promised to remove the present cab met, MT. Lackey declared that the removal of Secretary of State Cor dell Hull alone would be blow tc our principles of foreign relations He said that "the confidence of oul South American neighbors is fas- tened to the United States through the personalities of Roosevelt ano Hull" and that they "are symbols of the hope of humanity"

LONDON, Oct. 28.-(Monday)-
R-Axis warplanes dropped tons
of explosives and fire bombs in
opening their 51st night attack on
the capital last night but by mid
night comparative calm had set
tied the darkened capital.
Millions remained underground
but a few buses and taxis whirred
through otherwise deserted streets.
In one east Anglican town a raid
err swooped low to m~achine-gun
a train but there were no casual
ties. Houses and buses also were
splattered with machine-gun bull
lets.
An another east Anglican town
a policeman was killed and sew
eral persons injured when a de-
layed action bomb exploded.
Raiders also were active in north
east England where a hospital was
struck.
London had six alarms fir o m
dawn to dusk and the plane toll
was listed as eight German to six
British.
One of the first areas hit in the
raid was a group of workers
houses in an outer London district.
The raiders again followed one
of their favorite tactics-dropping
incendiary bombs first and then
using the light of fires thus start
ed to guide them in attacks with
explosive bombs.

bombed, but although admitting
some damage to property it main

It is under these circumstances
that the Italian accusations against

How Greece figures in Axis mil
itary plans is clear. Nazi and F'as-
cist forces would establish bases
in Greece for bombers to blast
at British w%arships in the. East
r Mediterranean and their base
at Alexandria, hammer at Pales-
tine, and attempt to cut off Britain
from the Dardanelles.
Unless Turkey, with a nod from
Moscow, is ready to enter the wal
and Britain is able to give more
aid than now appears likely, the
Greeks al hardly put up more
than a perfunctory fight.
