 She heard the dice rattling in She leather cup as Jamison shook them for his throw. Paul Whar- ton was watching the other owner closely. Sherry saw determination sn Wharton's eyes, in the firm set of his jaw. Paul was out to win Ehe had to win-her horsei

defense think should be spent,
though 1t is in my judgment a
sufficient amount for the coming
year"
So he overruled the experts.
Actually, it was necessary for
Congress to provide in appropxa+
tions and contract authorizations
over 10 billions more than the
President asked for in January.
Thus, when he asked for a
quarter of a billion dollars more
last January, be was only one
fortieth right.
That is the way the third
term candidate placed emphasis
on national defense in January,
1910. That is his record.
On May 10, 1910, the invasion
of Holland and Belgium began.
Japan was continuing TO over
run China and threatening Brit
aims position in the Orient. For
over a year our feet had been
based in the Pacific Ocean.
Brushed Aside" Need OF
2-Ocean Navy as Stupid"
With this background, it is t.
third-term candidate who, CT
May IA, 1910, according to a New
York Times dispatch, brushed
aside as utterly stupid suggestions
that developments in the Euro
pean struggle and their implica-
tions in the Pacific strengthened
the arguments for a two-ocean
American navy. -" Such a con-
ception Of the Nations floating
defenses was just plain dumb"
he added.
1t is this same man who now
tells us that he foreSaw the out
break OF the war. He had con-
slant stream of information and
he had his foresight. But this
armor plant of yours, right here
in Charleston, was not even in
production yet.
Even after the whole country
had been aroused to the dangers
that confronted us, the third
term candidate delayed. AS late
as last June he told Congress
that it might as well go home
there was nothing more for 1t to
do.
But since that time Congress
has passed the military conscrip-
ton bill, the two-ocean navy bill,
the bill to provide for the neces-
sary amortization of emergency
plants built for national defense
and three additional defense ap-
preparation bills totaling seven
billion dollars and contract au-
thorizations.
People of America, are you 60
ing to return such an administra-
ton to power again-an admin
istration that keeps our safety
on order?
This is a serious hour. The
fate of this Nation is in your
hands. Make the right decision.
Join with me Join with me in
this great crusade to make Amer
ica strong, and to keep America
free.

BILE was brewing, aggression was
rampant and our safety continu-
ously decreasing. He says that
he has always emphasized ma
tional defense.
In 1896, Adolf Hitler invaded
the Rhineland. Italy conquered
Ethiopia. Hitler announced the
formation of the Rome-Berlin
axis. Civil war broke out in
Spain, and Germany, Italy and
Russia joined in it.
Every year since 1933-that is,
for three years previously, the
chief of staff of the Army, Gen.
Macarthur, had been warning
the third-term candidate that our
Army was insufficiently equipped.
In 1886 Gen. Malin Craig, who
had succeeded Gen. Macarthur,
sounded another warning. He
described the military establish
ments of other nations as finished
machines ready for instant use.
And then he said, I quote: TN
contrast ours is an unfinished and
unassembled machine. Some of
its parts are not in existence,
some exist as rough forgings,
others in semi-finished form.
Only a few are in condition for
immediate use"
With these warnings and
against the background of those
world events and with his inside
knowledge, the third-term can
didate went before the Congress
on January S, 1887, and asked for
increased national defense ap-
preparations of-how much Of an
increase? Half billion? Oh no.
He asked for less than a hundred
million dollars.
But the same time he asked
for $500 900 900 for relief and
unemployment for men who
would have been glad to help
build our defense program at a
decent wage.
That is the way the third
term candidate placed emphasis
on national defense.
Dictator Powers Demonstrated
Ruthiessness of Tanks and Planes.
That is his record.
All during the next year-1937
Russians, Germans and Italians
were fighting in Spain. The die
tator powers gave us a ruthless
demonstration of modern tanks
and modern planes. And war
between China and Japan broke
out in the Far East.
And that year, Harry H. Wood
ring, the Secretary of War, in his
annual report, told us this. He
said: THE United States Army Is
relatively weaker compared with
armies OF other great countries
than it was year ago"
He said: 1T should be borne in
mind that modern aircraft can
not be quickly improvised. The
construction of airplanes takes
considerable time. Hence our
peacetime strength should ap-
proach rather closely our re-
quirements in war"
And Immediately following
that, Mr.. Roosevelt went before
Congress in January, 1888. with
that background and asked for
how much Of an increase? Some
thing big, surely. something that
would cause the opposition to

Text of Charleston, w. Va,
Address by WiIIkie

CHARLESTON, w. Va, Oct.
30 LP.-Follo,Uing is the pre-
pared tert OF a speech alSt night
By Wendell L. Willkie.:
Near here in South Charleston
there is a structure which typi-
fles the danger facing the Ameri-
can people. They have been led
into that danger by the false
leadership of the New Deal.
Tonight I want to make that
danger clear.
The structure that refer to is
naval ordnance plant. 1t was
built during the last war to make
armor plate, armor- piercing
projectiles and gun forgings for
the United States Navy.
Not long ago on one of the nom
political inspection trips, the
third-term candidate came down
here to look at UniS plant.
He, of course, was not inter
eSted in votes, and merely wanted
to give the plant the benefit of
his great knowledge of metal
lurgy and the manufacture of
heavy forgings.
He pointed, with pride, to the
fact that construction was started
on that plant when he was As
sistant Secretary of the Navy,
more than 20 years ago. That was
his contribution to the present
production problem.
Things That Bear on Safety
Not Mentioned by New Deal.
There are a number of things
concerning this plant that the
third-term candidate did not
mention; things which the New
Deal would like to forget, but
which I am not going to let it
forget. These things have a di-
rect bearing upon the safety of
the American people. They are
entitled to know the facts.
1t is the duty of the Chief
Executive to enlighten us con-
cerning our defense problems.
But at the time of his inspection
trip here, the New Deal was still
engaging in the fiction that there
was no election.
I am mentioning this armor
plant because it is typical of
what is happening. and has hap
pened, and is bound to happen to
our defense, wherever the New
Deal lays it's deadly hand upon it.
Now, armor plate is vital to our
naval building programme our
whole system Of defense. It is
one of the most difficult products
to manufacture.
Owing to the special nature OF
this product, there are only four
plants in the United States
equipped to make armor plate.
This plant here in Charleston is
the only Government owned
plant. The others are privately
run and owned.
The capacity Of all of them
is strictly limited. The increas-
ing of their capacity is SLOW
very slow-process. 1t cannot
