WILLKIE ASSERTS
U.S.. NEARING WAR
Republican Candidate Blames
New Deal For Pushing
Country Into Conflict
BY WILLIAM B. ARDERY

ID |
DETROIT, Sept. 3O.-R-Wen-
dell L.. Willkie told an audience of1
republican women tonight that
the New Deal is pushing the ma
ion lever closer and closer to
war;" and added:
"The closer Mr.. Roosevelt gets
us to war, the more people say we
ought not to change horses in the
middle of the stream. How
did we get there? The man who
got us in is not the right one to
get us out"
Addressing a meeting of the ma
tional federation of women's repub-
lican clubs, the republican presi-
Dental nominee asserted that the
New Deal now 'is governing by
force and by fear"
II will clean out the cynics and
unbelievers, the nuts and the bunk
artists" he said. my administra-
ton will be composed of men who
believe in the American people,"
Wilkes argument a b o u
"changing horses" summarized a
talk which he made while cam
palgning through Michigan during
the day. He told trainside crowds
that the change from the Cham
berlain to the Churchill govern
ment in England disproved any
contention that n administration
should be kept throughout a crisis.
Let us elect a Winston Church
i'll government in the United States
he added, praising the British
prime minister as "a great, Wig
orous defender of democracy"
Willkie called on his audience
to help develop faith in democra-
cy,' and said:
Il have observed a tendency to
sheer at the homely virtue that
made our American life so album
dant and forceful. Thousands
of u youth, who have lot faith
in other people, have formed COM
munlty groups, and have received
encouragement from high places.
For almost eight years, a little
group of cynics called the New
Dealers have been in control of
this country-cynics whom we did
not elect and who have no faith
in u.s." 2

four months of their Yeas serv-

While he did not know exactly
what status the new officers would
have, General Marshall said he
was sure they would be given the
option of going on active duty with
the regular army or returning
home at the end of their years
service. 1t was assumed that in
any event, the officers would be-

DESPERATE TIN SCARCITY
Washington, d. C.

T UE16I EnfA Il Il hin 0OfANOA44
1t hasn't leaked out yet, but after
years of delay, and after facing
what may be desperate tin short
age, the state department is about
to negotiate a contract with the Bo-
livian government for the purchase
of about half of Bolivia's tin output.
This tin ore will be shipped to the
United States for refining in newly
established tin smelters.
This is big achievement for Bo-
livian Minister Guachalla who, for
four years, has been hammering
home at the state department the
idea that Bolivia has something
which the United States needs vi
tally.
But it by no means solves the tin
problem for the United States, for
Bolivia's production meets only
about one-half of this country's nor
NAL requirements.
To tide over the present tin cri-
sis, the national defense commission
contracted to buy $4,000 tons of re-
fined tin from the Dutch and British
East Indies. This is enough to last
for one year, but the question is,
will it ever be delivered?
The answer is doubtful. Only H.
900 tons can arrive by January /,
and even this may be held up by
German defeat of England or Jap
anese blitzkrieg on the Dutch East
Indies.
Most amazing feature of the deal
is that the national defense COM
mission is not attempting to buy
new tin ore from the Far East, but
only the refined, metallic tin. In
other words, the tin is to be refined
in the Far East, then shipped here.
Reason for this is: (1) because the
British put so per cent tax on the
export of crude ore to keep us from
setting up tin smelling business
of our own; and (2) because the
state department still is following
policy of dealing gently with British
interests.
In other words, while we will set
up system of temporarily smelt-
ing Bolivian tin in the United States,
the British still will attempt to hang
on to their monopoly by smelling
as much as possible themselves
and up to point high U. S. Off
Gals seem reluctant to break away
from the British system.

WILLKIE REvAMPS CAMPAIGN
MACHINERY

In some G. o. P. quarters Will
kie's protracted western stay drew
discreet but critical protests. He
was, wasting valuable time, came
the complaints, handling too much
organizational detail himself.
1t was true that the tousle-haired
Republican standard bearer did oc-
cupy himself extensively with organ
ization details. But he did not waste
time-as plenty of old-line Republi-
can politicos are privately, and very
grumpily, attesting. He was far too
busy to suit them or see much of
them.
For the big untold story behind
WILKES long and mysterious labors
in Colorado is that he completely
revamped the traditional G. o. P.
campaign machinery.
It's a closely guarded secret but

units, made up largely of veteran
professionals, have been relegated
