Bungling

En- Route With Willkie to Provi-
dence, r. l., Oct. l0-(AP)-Wendcll
L. Willkie declared at New London,
Conn, today that the Roosevelt adj
ministration had bunglcd both do
nestle and international affairs and
therefore should not be entrusted
with handling the country after the
European war ends.
The nominee, discussing the two
term tradition, said the only request
Offered by the third term supporters
is that there should be no change in
the presidency because Of the trou-
bled international situation.
mo man appreciates any more
than I do the critical situation
abroad" Willkie said. mo man un-
derstands more than I do the conse-
uuences on the United States, but
let us think beyond that crisis"
in my judgment the present adj
ministration has been one of the
biggest factors in bringing on that
crisis. But let us assume that the
war is over within six months. What
is going to be the condition in Eu-
rope? There is bound to be infla-
ton in Europe and competition with
the United States by low paid labor
"Do you want this administration
following the war to handle the do,
nestle affairs of the United States
and take it down the road to bank
ruptcy and lose every social gain
