He made two primary points at
Phoenix.
One was that a sound domestic
economy is as important as guns
and ships to discourage dictators
from striking in this direction. He
said one way to rehabilitate domes-
tic economy would be to have the
American Navy buy American beef
in place of Argentine beef"
The other point was that it Is a
fallacy for citizens generally to
think they are not carrying the
load of Government spending mere
ly because they do not pay much
of the direct income tax. Mr.. Will
kie took notice OF a recent occasion
on which Henry Wallace. Demo-
cratic candidate for Vice President,
asked an audience of farmers in
Minnesota how many of them paid
over $50 in income taxes.
Then the Republican nominee de-
clared that If there was any one in
the audience so dumb" as to be-
lieve the Government debt had no
effect on him, that's the fellow I
want to talk to-"
Saturated With Taxes.
Every hat I see. every shirt I
see, every coat I see-if any-is
simply saturated with Federal taxes.
You are the people who pay the
taxes-the rich always take care of
themselves. That's one reason they
are rich"
AS he passed through the citrus
growing section of the State last
night, Mr.. Willkie tod the people at
every stop that he is confident of his
ability to put the 100000 unem-
ployed back to work, and that would

plant to witness the christening of
"AT-6A," advanced training plane,
the first to be delivered under the

champagne will be broken over the
nose of the plane by Joar Kindel-
berger, daughter of j. H. Kindel-
berger, president of the company.
Half an hour later Mr.. and Mrs.
Willkie will be taken to inspect one
of the plants of the Douglas Air
craft Co.
In his speech at San Diego last
night Mr.. Willkie charged that the
standard formula of the New Deal
for solving Americas many prob
lens has been to appropriate more
money or concentrate more power
in the hands of the President.
"The Simple Remedy"
1T is a significant fact" he de-
clared, that Mr.. Roosevelt has
never tried to solve our problems
the other way-that is by economy
in Government. and by the encour-
agement of business
He has never tried the simple,
homely remedy of confidence-con-
fidence in us, in our enterprises, in
our ability to make things work.
The truth is, he has lost faith in
us. Whenever a problem arises he
does not think that we can solve it..
He steps in and tries to solve it
himself. This is why he has ac-
cumulated so much power and spent
so much money.
What we want is Government
that has faith in us. When we set
up regulatory commission, we do
not want that commission to treat
us like thieves or. at best. like chill
dren. We want it to regulate us
as grown-up people eager and able
to do a job"
Takes Plane to Arizona.

N. NJ, yesterday morning, Mr.. Will
kie, followed by a corps of news

At Phoenix he made a bid for
Arizonas presidential votes to 10000
persons who filled city stadium.

half a dozen rural stations. and in
San Diego he was driven in torch

Speaking in the baseball park al

on a shouting, f1ag-waving crowd,

countered anywhere in this cam

spurred on by the response to his
repeated thrusts at the 'indispen-
