In your edi torial tt tied the Name of Natl onal
efense," dated September 19, 1870, you stated "that
re-housing of America 8 Stun dwellers is to be a
part OF our National Defense Program" This state

of the existing legislation tlns subject YOU
would be aware of thi fact.
1t specifically states In Public No. GIL - 10th
Congress Bird Session ca HR9822 titled IAN ACT, to
expedite National Defense, and for other purposes.

Defense Housing therefore, primarily, is being

III ME COURlERJOURNAL has tried to deal faithfully
H. with the campaign, putting aside old Royalties and
old prejudices. We have refraned from choosing be-
the candidates until when believe there is
enough evidence for a fair judgment.
We hated both the conventions. The Republicans
celebrated the fall Of France with shoddy speeches about
the necessity for peace" and about the beauties of
high tariff. The Democrats presented with draft
staged by a mob Of cheap politicians This
year for such gris carcatures of democracy in
action.
We sorry when Mr.. Roosevelt decided to run
again. Our dislike of the third based fear
of dictatorship mo who has watched the President
in action could think he either capable DESTROYS
of being dictator His failure is his inability be
ruthless) But thought wrongly it seems. that the
third term attempt would lead bitterness and irrelevant
argument We did not like the talk Of indispensabity
And we thought, wrongly again, it seems, than the
try would prefer rest from Roosevels.
When the Republicans chose WiIlkie hoped he
would prove good he described. So far as the
parties and their machines were ready
TO cry "a plague both your houses" We into
the campaign, therefore, with fixed plan except the
desire TO find the truth and the intention Judge both
men by what they did during the momentous Summer.
The campaign is now half over; the evidence, we
believe is hand We find that with all his faults
still think Mr.. Roosevelt is a great who may
prove greatly daring in the face of the world menace We
find, reluctantly, that think Mr. Wkie is confused
who cannot be expected fulfill the hopes of his
supporters His campaign record discourages for four
main reasons
First, doubt If he has a clear policy on the war;
policy that be trusted change His fri. nds
claim there is difference between the Wike and the
Roosevelt policies We suggest there is this differ.
the Roosevelt policies all of piece whereas
Wikie cancels out his best For example:
Mr.. Willkie demands aid for Britain, and eco.
nomic assistance for China. That sounds brave and
strong. 1t sounds like the Wlkie of the Philadelphia
story. But in California Mr. Wlkie hailed Hiram John.

friend of Hiram Johnson, turned against him this cam

Also, the day that Willke PRAISED Johnson in three
speeches, Herbert Hoover made talk that would have

and spiritual compromise. II matched exactly the mood
which led France to her grave. Yet Hoover leader

kindness, cooperation and sincere friendliness mani
tested by everyone during the three years that we

accepted running Senator whose policy has
been rankly isoationist-and whose domestic policy in
cidentally contradicts Wilkes famous fight on the
T.VA.
Also Mr.. Wikie called tine destroyer deal ''the most
arbitrary and dctatorial action taken by Pres
dent" So what does he by more aid Britain?
Does he asking Congress TO wrangle miserably until
the snow lies deep Washington? Or does he
aid to Britain?
What does he by opposing the Axis in the At
lantic and in the Pacific while asking that the worlds
chief isoatonist be back the Senate and while
accepting quietly from the exeader of his party speech
that could have from Vichy?
Our second reason for encouragement is that Mr..
WILKES record domestic policy also danger
ously unclear. He has accepted many New Deal
such the farm program and the National Labor
Relations Act and the Wage-Hour Law and he has
praised many New Deal detectives At Tulsa he
far say that he stands the 1882 Democratic plat
form-whch would commit him of the New
Deal except for emergency spending and the unba-
anced budget Yet in Indiana he asked for a Repubi-
Congress that 1--WE repeal of this per-
nicous legislation Which Legislation? He doesn't say.
Unwilngy. suspect that Mr.. Willkie wants anti.
Administration business feel happy in the thought
that the New Deal will be undone and that he the
rank ana lille oil voters 10 ee happy IN the thought that
the New Deal will not be undone-that its will
reced while its virtues maintained. If he would tell
what he means to keep and what he o KILL
would be less uneasy about the effectiveness of his mind
and character.
Third, discouraged by the lack of balance and
reliability in of Mr.. Wilkes speeches. He
to lose control of himself under the heady excitement
of campaign His attack the bill draft industry
had to be explained away a misunderstanding His
tack on the President promoter of the murder of
CzechoSlovakia had TO be explained misstate
ment. His claim that Mr. Roosevelt gave material assist
to Hitler lin his aggressive plans left
planned perhaps in the hope that would be unknd
enough to attack defenseless a thought.
Our fourth encouragement from the fact that
MIR. Wikie has proved himself bad organizer. One
for the countrys excitement Wilie the
thought that here who knew how control
great enterprises efficiently. Such might have
seemed from Heaven Americas dark hour help
us prepare total defense rapidly and with
ton. But Mr.. Willke is not such a As is well
known, his campaign is model of disorganizaton and
crossed purposes
Mr.. Willkie is much smaller than had hoped.
With his winning his popularity. his freedom
from political commitments he had chance show the
first weeks of his campaign that he strong in convc
tons and firm in principles We have watched hopefully
for such sign; but it has not been given Step by step
we have been forced MIR. Wilkie as a man who
is neither strong enough to rule the politicians who

round him experienced enough yield in small mat
tiers while standing firm in large.
If MIR. Willkie were great or if he merely
good with political training, he might become the
President his supporters have desired We fear he
just welmeaning lost in a political which he
does not understand and which he master. We
have looked in vain for the strength and stability the
nation wanted.
If these impressions they kill the best
gument in favor of Wilkie-that he would give bust
the confidence which is needed if America is
fast. The Wikie of discouraged picture could
not give confidence anybody, the long His
strength would be wasted in trying occupy places
at the time favorng aid Britain but befriending
Hiram Johnson favoring the New Deal reforms, but
peaing this perncous legislation. And the tendency
TO overexcemen which appears in his speeches would
not give confidence either business the larger
public. Now that Wikie has endorsed the major New
Deal reforms which business he would have
be of great strength and great diplomacy keep
business confident"
If this time of peace and normaly, it is pos
sbe that in spite of all these discouragements would
feel change of administration best for the
try After period of reform the American people have
usually chosen put the opposition party into power
and to have time of quiet for growing accustomed
reforms nem IN detall but there
is peace today and no hope of a normal world for
years come. The that beat upon the whole of
civilization will reent will give the breath
ing space much desire. To stand against those
need the greatest strength and the best leader
ship in country We feel that Mr.. Wilkie is
the to fulfill this need.
On the other SIDE have Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr..
Wallace. They stand shoulder to shoulder a foreign
policy of which approve, agricultural policy of
which approve, philosophy of democracy home
and abroad which seems TO of the few remaining
hopes of free world. The Presidents New Deal has
sought, blunderngy at times to find the social and
economic forms which democracy in this

lead a diminished national debt. But in the midst of
the Hitler revolution unemployment will be lowered by
the economy forced upon from without. And a
balanced budget will be impossible until prepared
ing the importance of these problems; saying
they cannot be major issues in the 1910 campaign.
Mr.. Roosevelt and his running mate have convinced
Mr.. Willkie has ro-hat they forget
in the midst of world revolution. They have convinced
Mr.. Wkie has not-that they there is hut

ing democracy either shore of the Atlantic. We think
they have the will and the experience fight this dire
battle, home and abroad successfully than any
other candidates. Therefore, give them support

McNutt Third-Term Bomb Fails to
Evoke Echo Among Other Candidates

who can unite the leaders back Of
him. Mr.. McNutt looks like the
answer. 1t was said today.
Minton Unopposed Within Party.
Senator Minton, Democrat, is up
for denomination and reelection
this year. He has no opposition for
denomination. Editor Willis, who
made such close run against Sen
ator Van Nuys In 1888, has been
selected by the Republicans as their
candidate. Last winter 1t was pre-
dicted in informed quarters that
Senator MintOn. like Senator
Schwellenbach of Washington, would
be appointed to a Federal judge
ship during the year and before his
present term Of office expires. So
far the appointment has not ma
terialized. II he runs for the Sen
ate, as now planned, he could still
be given judgeship later if desired
provided there is vacancy.
In a way. the national prepared
ness program may give the Demo-
Gratis chance to minimize the issue
OF financial ineptness and waste
which the Republicans have raise 1
against them. The administra ton
leaders finally have come around to
asking an increase in the debt limit.
from $4,000, 10000 to $4,000, ,OOO.- :
600. and are proposing that a spe-
clal national defense tax" be levied
op the people. They might have
been forced to such steps if there
had been no clamor and no need for
increased national defense expendi-
lures. The picture would have been
much blacker then. Even now
Democrats vince when they think
OF levying more taxes on an already
heavily taxed people just before an
election. Nor do they relish the idea
the debt limit must be increased.
The charge-Which is true-that
they have expended $50 900 900 900
IN seven years, with neither recovery
nor adequate national defense to
show for it, hurts.
May Accept Garner Again.
The report is spreading that, In
order to get what he wants. Presi-
dent Roosevelt is prepared to accept
the denomination of Vice President
Garner on the Democratic ticket
with him. 1t does not. appear to
make sense. but that is the word
being passed around on Capitol Hill
by those who are supposed to be in
the know. There has been nothing
from Mr.. Garner, however. to indi-
cate he would accept such a re-
nomination.
The candidacy OF Wendell L. Will
kie. president of Commonwealth e.
Southern Power Co., for the Repub-
llcan presidential nomination has
received an amazing amount of pub
llcity. Mr.. Wilkes boom started
IN Wall Street. 1t has been backed
by men Of means. and will continue
TO be so backed. The former Hoosier
Democrat is a quick talker and he
has shown himself a good public
utility executive. He has had no
experience whatever in public Office.
Except for the financial backing
the good wishes of the men Of
wealth-Mr. Wilkes boom would
have died a-borning.

Judging from the private comments
made by some of these gentlemen,
they do not intend to. In addition,
those anti third term Democrats
who oppose the denomination Of the
President do not see any reason for
changing their attitude now and
they say SO very frankly.
Mr.. McNutt, it is now made clear,
has not taken himself out of the
race-if the President does not run.
Nor is he giving up his campaign
although when his statement de-
claring for the denomination of the
President was first issued Thursday
1t looked as though he might be re-
tiring from the field.
Gubcrnatorial Draft Possible.
In some quarters Mr.. McNutt's
plea for third-term nomination
was frankly criticized as a bid for
a vice presidential nomination-on a
ticket with Mr.. Roosevelt But Nc
Mutt supporters deny this. Indeed,
some OF them insist that if the
President does run. the Indiana
Democrats will draft McNutt for
the gubernatorial nomination. They
hold that McNutt would strengthen
the Democratic ticket in Indiana
very greatly and that if he were
elected Governor he would be in a
strategic position to run for Presi-
dent in 1914 He is comparatively
young man. They insist that he
could be elected Governor without
difficulty and refer to his record as
Governor in the early days OF the
Roosevelt administration in Wash
ington.

Two Democrats have been under
consideration for the gubernatorial
nomination in Indiana. 1t. Gov.
Henry Schricker is one of them.
The present Governor, M. Clifford
Townsend, does not like Schricker.
The other, R. Earle Peters, Federal
housing director for Indiana, is dis
liked by Paul McNutt. So far it
has been impossible for the Demo-
cratic factions to get together on
this matter of gubernatorial nomi-
nation. Republican chances in the
Hoosier State have been decided on
the up and up, despite the war
situation abroad. 1t behooves the
Democrats, therefore, to nominate
