ber. This is strenuous job for any
man. Mr.. Willkie, however, is a
glutton for work and he has the
physique to stand the kind of
punishment that kind of campaign
ing involves.
To millions of Americans Willkie
is still only a name-although mil
lions of them know far more about
the man than they did before his
recent address accepting the presi-
dental nomination. Judging by
what happened in the pre-conven-
ton campaign and at the Repub-
lican National Convention, Mr.. Will
kie has the ability to sell himself
to people-the people. His deter
mination, therefore, to make the
kind of tours now planned looks
like good judgment. He is not the
kind of candidate to leave his au-
diences cold, and the more voters
he can see personally the better
The mudslinging-with Willkie as

self has declared his purpose to
conduct a campaign free of per-

little the Republican nominee now
under way rather indicates that the
New Dealers are bit jittery.
Attacks Fail.
Secretary Ickes, with his speech
attacking the G. o. P. nominee,
left the country cold or sore. Bronx

Guffey of Pennsylvania, with their
assaults upon Willkie. accomplished

was a Tammany machine man, in
the sense that some of President
Roosevelt's most ardent followers
were and are. No one believes that
Mr.. Willkie, despite the fact he has
German blood in his veins, is pro-
Nazi. They are more inclined to
think of the fact that Mr.. Willkie
was a captain of artillery in the
A. E. F. and fighting in France
against the Germans during the
World War.
It is true that Mr.. Willkie was
the head of a big public utility cor
poration. He probably is rather
proud of the fact that he was able
to make showing so good that he
was elected president of the Com
monwealth and Southern Power
Corp. The charge against him by
the New Dealers is that once having
been in business in big way, he is
unfit to become head of the execu-

price, German landing, now the
and equipped that the war Office
hopes Hitler will order German
divisions on British territory.
If sizable German force Is
landed, the British general staff is
confident it can be wiped out in
battle regardless of how many
planes the Germans might send to
support the landing force.
The British have no Maginot line
big or little But every natural
obstacle from Dover to London or
any other point of the island is a
fortified position. The British tanks
are ready to meet the Germans with
the advantage on the British side.
Reasons for Optimism.
The Germans will have to trans
port their heavy war material by
barges and will thus be submitted
TO attacks by submarines, MOSQUITO
boats and cruisers, while the Brit
ish mechanized force will be used
from the home bases. The Ger
man air superiority is. of course, a
matter Of grave concern to the Brit
ish, but it appears that in the last
few months the anti-aircraft ar
tillery has been greatly increased
and the planes which are being
built in England or imported from
the United States are certainly a
There still is disproportion Of
4 TO l between the German and the
British air force, but the latest
Nazi attacks show numbers alone
do not play such an important role
in the particular air warfare which
is being waged over the British Isles.
These factors explain the op-
timistic statements of Premier
Churchill and other high officials.
And while this complete optimism is
not completely shared in American
quarters, the situation of Britain
does not appear as hopeless to
many high American officials as a
few weeks ago.
One of the main deficiencies OF
the British defense is the shortage
of gas and oil
Only about 20 per cent of the
British tanks are underground.
The rest are on the surface and
thus exposed to German aerial
bombardment. There is no doubt
that in the next major air offensive
the Germans will select these tanks
as the main target of their planes
regardless of how many they lose.
Gasoline Imports Curbed.
The flow Of gasoline and oil from
abroad-the only way Britain can
obtain these supplies, since there are
no oil wells or synthetic gas factories
in the United Kingdom-has slowed
down considerably because of the
activity of German submarines and
airplanes.
The only relatively safe ports are
those situated on the west coast OF
the isle. The main harbors on the
east coast are under continual bonn
bardment while swarms of subna-
rines and torpedo boats are enforc-
ing an effective blockade.
The British high command cam
not think of saving fuel. The air.
planes must continue to make long
range flights to lombard German
cities-the most effective air defense
and the pursuit planes must keep
continual watch every time Ger
man attackers are sighted. In the
event of a German invasion the
tanks must operate regardless of gas
consumption as the Germans did
in the battle of Flanders.
