Bombing Successes

BERLIN, Oct. 13.-(Sunday)-R
British raiders dropped explosive

One soldier and several civilians
were said to have been among the
dead and wounded.
A quantity Of lumber was set

Only one plane was observed
from vantage points in midtown.
Silhouetted against the moon it
fled into the safety of a cloud pur-

Cannonading from ground batter

LONDON. Oct. 13.-tSunday)-
R-aid-scarred London's life buzzed
with almost pre-Blitzkrieg normal
cy early today as Germany's air
attack on the British capital sud-
denly lightened and, for the Sec
ond straight night the all clear
signal was given hours b e f o r e
dawn.
After a prolonged period Of quiet
the end of the nightly raid was
signaled around 2:30 a. m. (8:a
p. m. E. S. to. Previously , the
city had experienced rare quiet
spells between sporadic bombings,
8 or 10 Hits
Only eight or ten London areas
reported hits by midnight, although
the Germans began raiding last
night precisely at the same hour
of their appearance on three pre-
ceding nights.
From the Associated Press roof
top observation post, it seemed
the lightest night of the air raids
except for the single night last
ly today.
One bomb fell in a famous Lon.
don square, causing a number OF
casualties, some of them fatal.
The explosive made a large crater
near a well-know n statue. A large
dry goods store, a club, and a a
bank were badly damaged by the
blast.
The relatively-quiet spell over
London extended as well oyer the
provinces, where only one or two
attacks were reported. One Mid
land town was bombed with high
explosives and incendiary missiles
which damaged a house, a shop
ping arcade and a hostel for aged
men.
The quiet spells in between made
the London night seem almost nor
NAL again.
With the 1essening of the attack
the midnight traffic became much
heavier than on the nights since
the Germans began raiding the
capital every night.
But, of course, the city was not
peaceful in the American style by
any means. It was only compare
lively so-buildings rocked to the
crash of falling bombs, h houses
were smashed and sMolotoH bread

bombs upon parts of the capital.
Some fires started but were put

ALL GOOD NEICHBORS'
Demands Right To Peace
full Use OF Oceans For
American Nations
BY DOUGLAS B. CORNELL

DAYTON, Ohio, Oct. II.
President Roosevelt e%nunciated a
policy of total defense Of the Amer
icas against a total attack from any
xegment Of the world tonight and
pledged the United States Navy and
air force to the defense Of all the
Western Hemisphere.
The Presidents address, one OF
his most momentous declarations on
international conditions and foreign
policy, was broadcast to every nation
of the hemisphere. 9
"As In 1898"
He said that this country, as in
1898, insists on the peaceful use OF
the Atlantic and Pacific for trade
and commerce. He said the Amer
lean nations were united in their de.
termination to resist the threats of
dictators and rejected the doctrine
of appeasement.
He renewed assurances that Brit
ain would receive all aid short OF
war.
He voiced confidence in the ability
of the Americas, bound together In
the spirit of good n%eighbors, to re-
sist any infiltration of "ahen politi-
cal and economic ideas which would
DESTROY our freedom and democ-
tracy"
when we speak of defending this
Western Hemisphere" MI. Roose-
welt declared, 1--WE are speaking not
only of the territory of North, Cen
trail and South America and the inn.
mediate adjacent islands. We include
the right to the peaceful use OF n
Atlantic and Pacific oceans. That
has been our traditional policy.
wv of the Americas still consider
that this defense of these oceans OF
the Western Hemisphere acts of ag'
erosion is the first factor in the de-
tense and protection of u own ter
ritorial integrity. We reaffirm that
policy lest there be any doubt OF our
intention to maintain it."
The address was made from a din.
ing car as his special train stood in
the Dayton station. 1t combined a
singing critique of the methods OF
what he termed vtotalitarian and die.
tator nations with a firm declaration
of the determination of the United
States to prepare for war as the best
insurance of continued peace.
Here 1t Will Fail
The chief executive said that "di'
vide and conquer" had been the bat.
tie cry of the totalitarian powers in
their war against democracy, that
it had succeeded in Europe, but that
ION our continent it will fail"
1.-THE core Of u defense is the

Willkie Says F. R. Pre-

Defending Itself

dell L. Willkie described the New
Deal government tonight as a Tia
bility to the American people" and
aid that SIT does not help them
to defend themselves-it prevents
them"
The republican presidential
nominee, coming here after a four
day campaign tour through New
England, said in a prepared speech
that President Roosevelt had made
a sbrave statement in 1888 when
he declared there was nothing to
fear except fear itself.
"Now we are in a different cri.
sis-a different kind of a crisis"
Willkie continued. "And the CHIEF
difference between this crisis ano
the previous one is that we do in
deed know what to fear.
"We must fear the New Deal
Willkie devoted much of his
speech to discussing the history
of legislation, signed by the presi'
dent last Wednesday,, to permit
manufacturers to amortize over a
period of years the cost of, plants
built for defense.
He asserted the Navy recon-
mended such legislation two and
a half years ago, that the navy
treasury under-secretary, in 1889,
that later in the year John w,
[Hanes. then treasury under.secre'
tary,srecommended it., and that on
December 4, 1889, Secretary Nor
genthau told reporters the defense
manufacturers ''would never get
break from him..
Last July, Willkie said, a White
House conference was held on the
problem because defense had be
come urgent" The administrator
he continued, insisted on tying the
amortization bill in with excess
profits taxation and thus created
additional delay.
ut was not until four days age
that the president finally signeo
this bill to clear the tracks fol

tanks, the planes and the mum,
