At Roosevelt Rood to-Wor' Policies

promises to keep this country out Of
war-and have watched with con-
Germ as the Nation has been edged
farther and farther on the road to
war.
Watch Wilkes Speeches.
Mr.. WILKES more recent speeches,
criticizing the Roosevelt admin
istration for this constantly re-
curing movement nearer to the
war, are being read with interest in
this neck Of the woods. While the
war situation has up to the present
worked in the interest Of the re-
election of Mr.. Roosevelt, there are
indications that 1t may be less Of
an asset to the third termers in the
future. Roosevelt, the voters felt, was
in a position to handle European
and Asiatic affairs m . way to keep
this country from involvement-be-
cause he knew all the inside story.
Now they are asking, like Mr..
Willkie, whether he made as good
use OF this knowledge as he should
have done. Further, they are say
ing that If the President was edging
the country toward war, or saw that
the country itself was moving along
that road, he should have been
much earlier in demanding greatly
increased national defense.
The truth of the matter appears
to be that the President and his
advisers on international affairs did
not foresee the swift victory Of Ger
many in France, in Belgium and
Holland and In Norway. Apparently
they looked for sitter resistance,
which might have given the United
States only the role Of a neutral
with sympathetic leaning toward
the democratic nations OF Europe
This country was to supply all the
needed war materials and remain
outside the actual conflict. 1t was
planned that way. but the plans
failed to work out.
Sentiment Pro- British.
This section Of the United States
has been anxious to aid Britain
and France, and Is still willing to
do everything possible to supply the
British with what they need to
prosecute the war against the to-
talitarian nations. 1t is not anxious
to have this country pushed into
war-make no mistake about that
1t does not see why the United
States should be forced to fight
for Indo- China, or even the Dutch
East Indies.
Up to date, all diplomatic vic
tories have been with the to-
talitarian governments-and against
the British and the United States
The voters are beginning to pay
more and more attention to Mr.
Willkie as he calls attention to the
lack Of foresight In the Roosevelt
administration in conducting the
country's foreign affairs.

dent Roosevelt a similar number.
Those States regarded as sure or
leaning for Roosevelt are Utah.
Montana. Nevada, Arizona, and New
Mexico. They have combined total
OF II electoral votes. Those in which
Mr.. Willkie is given a chance, and
more than an even chance in most
instances, are North and South Da-
kota, Wyoming. Colorado and Idaho,
with a total electoral vote Of 20.
Four years ago the Republicans
failed to carry any Of these States
in the presidential race. They lost
heavily, too. in the congressional
and State elections in that vast Sec
ton. So any victory in any Of these
Mountain States will be a gain for
the G. o. P.
With the exception Of Arizona,
New Mexico and Montana, the
Mountain States were good Repub-
lican hunting grounds in the days
before 1880. Utah, which usually
could be relied upon to come
through for the Republicans, In the
days Of Reed Smoot. for example,
is noticeable backslider from the
Republican point Of view. The New
Dealers have q Arm grip on it, as
witness the recent defeat in the
Democratic primaries Of the veteran
Senator King, who has been among
the strongest anti-New Deal Demo-
Gratis in the Upper House. The New
Dealers and the anti-war group
ganged up against Mr.. King this
year.
Several Alternating Factors.
The indications today are that
many Of these States are swinging
again toward their old political moor
ings. Voters in some Of them do not
like the New Deal farm program, or
the sugar quota law, or the reciprocal
trade agreements. Nor are the voters
in these States enthusiastic for the
administration foreign policies that
seem to be pushing this country
closer and closer to involvement
in the foreign wars.
This does not mean these States
oppose the greatly increased pro-
gram of national defense. Quite the
contrary-although some Of the
voters are against the military draft.
But 1t does mean they are puzzled
today over claims that President
Roosevelt, because of his knowledge
and experience, is the better man.
the only man, to handle the foreign
affairs Of America. AS some OF them
put it, the President, in his conduct
Of diplomatic relations with the rest
OF the world, has left the United
States only one friend among the
great powers of the world-Great
Britain. All the rest are virtually
this country's enemies.
They do not understand why
affairs have been pressed to such
a pass that this country may be-
come involved in war with Japan at
any moment. They have read with
some establishment and considerable
perturbation the Governments call
to 5000 American citizens in Japan
to leave and return home or to 60
into some other country. They have
listened to President Roosevelt's

has caused considerable concern
in Japanese official quarters. I'm
til recently they wanted Americans
to leave and the japanese author
tiles in China have done their
utmost to hasten the departure Of
American nationals by making
their life there difficult.
But there seems to be a difference
in the eyes of the Toxic rulers be-
tween the departure of Americans
"on their own volition Is
to say under the gentle pressure
Of the Japanese government-and
their departure by orders from
home
See Further Restrictions.
The japanese government Is
convinced that the instructions
given the United States citizens to
leave the Far East are precursory
to the Government taking further
drastic economic measures such AZ
an embargo on oil and gasoline and
an embargo on Japanese exports
to the United States. And in order
to avoid aggressive acts against
American citizens when these new
measures are enforced. the State
Department wants them all out.
This is the theory advanced In
government circles in Toxic.
Oficially, Japan believes she Is
invincible as long as her European
associates remain strong. But un-
derneath this confidence there Is
considerable concern about what Is
going to happen to Japan's military
supplies and to Japans national
economy If this country decides
to break of commercial relations.
1t Is true that the Japanese have
stored important quantities OF oil
and gasoline in the islands and IN
Manchukuo. But these stories are
drop in the bucket for country
which has no other sources OF her
own, except those Of the somewhat
meager fields Of Sakhalin.
Easier Said Than Done.
The japanese have clearly indi-
Gated that in the event Of a total
embargo of exports by the United
States they will seek oil in the
7 Dutch possessions in Asia. But that
| Is easier said than done, since II
involves a naval and military ac-
ton which will require much larger
quantities of gasoline and oil than
the country possesses for q lengthy
campaign.
The japanese Foreign Once be-
lieves that this country will take all
measures short of war to help Brit
ain and to prevent an extension Of
Japan's expansionist policies. And
while such measures. If applied
against Italy and Germany, may
not bother those powers immedi-
ately, they will affect the Japanese
Empire.
In many quarters in Toxic 1t is
felt that Japan has acted too hastily.
The only answer to an American
embargo would be declaration of
war, and that for a while must re-
main only nominal But If the
Toxic government is forced to
adopt such a measure. the United
States, without advancing too far
in the Pacific, can cut of all COM
munications between Japan and the
Western Hemisphere.

Over 1000 Owens-Corning en-

and enjoyed the hospitality of
the company at one of the great
est get-to-gethers in the COM
pany's history.
Following a basket dinner at
noon, athletic contests were en-
joyed, with prizes being awarded
the winners. Tickets we're issued
to employees which were exchang-
ed for pop, and other refresh
ments. Ice cream was furnished
in prodigious quantities, with
plenty for everyone.
There was a big free dance in
the evening, with a fine floor
show for the enjoyment of the
guests. Employees, guests, and
those holding executive positions
in the company, roamed the
beautiful grounds, went swim
ming, entered the contests, and
fraternalized together as one

they really appeared to be. An
interesting point to the casual
observer was the age of the
group. 1t can safely be said that
perhaps 80 per cent of the gath
