Charges President With
"Defeatist Attitude"
That is one fundamental reason
why we have not been getting ahead
The New Deal started out with the
idea that our industrial plant was all
built. The third-term candidate
told us in 1882 that: "A mere builder
of more industrial plants is as
likely to be a danger as a help" And
the inevitable outcome of that de-
featist attitude is that today the
Democratic National Committee tells
us that no man now living or who
ever lived can provide jobs in pri-
vate industry for all American
workers.

Britons Warned of Possibility
OF Invasion During Winter
Reich Has Precedent
From Won MoItke,
DevereI| Says
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, Oct. 26.-Field Marshal
Sir Cyril Deverell warned Britons
today against the possibility of a
German invasion during the long
winter ahead.
Sir Cyril, former chief of the I'M
perial General Staff, said Germany
had a precedent for such a plan
from the great strategist Won
Moltke.
In a speech at the opening of a
War Weapons Week" at Bolton,
Sir Cyril, discussing the prospects
of invasion, said:
II give you warning that between
things which are impossible in war
and things which are only improb-
able and difficult the distinction is
great.
There are probably few in our
country who have studied the cam
paign of 1864 in Denmark. but 1
guarantee that every German plan
connected with operations overseas
will consider the 1864 precedent,
based as it is on the conception of a
great Prussian stategist, Won Molke.
Lesson to Be Remembered.
HE realized from the first that,
owing to the fact that Denmark
possessed greatly predominant
navy and could take refuge in her
islands, conclusion satisfactory to
Prussia presented uncommon diff
cultieS.
1T is because Won Moltke did not
accept the difficulties as lnSur-
mountable that the campaign of
1864 conveys a lesson we should
not disregard.
The superior land power delib-
erately prepared to exploit its supe-
riority," Sir Cyril continued, be
cause there was nothing else it
could do"
Must Be Prepared.
The troops were to be conveyed
during long winters night. They
were to be abandoned, if necessary
to their resources after landing
The severance of sea communica-
tions was anticipated. Risks were
accepted and discounted in ad-
vance.
This ambitious undertaking was
not in the end requited in its en-
tirety, but, nevertheless, it was con-
sidered and prepared by a great
strategist."
At the same time, Sir Cyril said
''in this war there are other things
that Germany can do, and we have
got to be prepared to meet them"
He added: ON our performance
in Egypt, the Sudan and the East
ern Mediterranean, generally, the
most vital issues depend"

Defense Billions Cited
As Spur 10 Advertising
By the Associated Press.


WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS. W.
Va, Oct. 26.-Citing the extra pur-
chasing power created by defense
spending. Willard Chevalier pub
Usher of Business Week magazine,
says industry should advertise more.
rather than less, in the coming
years.
He told the Association of Ma
tional Advertisers yesterday that
the Nations purchasing power
would increase IS 900 900 900 in the
next year because of the defense
program.
Unless people have a chance to
spend a good share of that sum,
they will lose morale and therefore
diminish in productivity" he said.
Mr.. Chevalier mentioned he was
worried" about suggestions that
luxuries should be removed to make
more industrial production facili-
ties and materials available for
armaments.
ITS smart to realize he said,
that there is no real line to deter
mine what is luxury. Take away
a factory girls right to buy silk
stockings and you hurt her far worse
than some Park avenue matron."

said they contained ads in almost

For every dollar of increased income
they receive, one-half will 60 for

Revitalizing Industry
Called Greatest Task.
The statisticians of the Depart
ment of Agriculture have estimated
that an increase of from 10 to &c
per cent in industrial activity would
increase the real income of the
farmer and of farm laborers and
tenants by almost exactly the same
percentage.
So every element in our country
has a direct interest in seeing in
creased industrial activity. That Is
the way to more jobs. That is the
way to opportunity for our young
people. That is the way to better
income for the farmer and to a
higher standard of living for every
one. And that also is the way to 8
strong national defense.
The greatest task that lies before
us in achieving the goal of strong
and prosperous America is to re-
vitaliZe our industries.
On many occasions I have dis
cussed the question Of what makes
job. In our industrial society
before you can have a job, you
must have the plant and equipment
with which men can work. On the
average it takes about $4,000 in
vested in plant and equipment to
put man to work in industry.
In order to find new jobs for our
young people who are growing up
every day and in order to maintain
and expand our industrial plant SC
that there will be additional jobs to
absorb the unemployed, We must
have a constant flow of new pro-
ductive investment, and that is just
what we have not been getting under
the New Deal.
During the entire period from 1888

not believe there is any solution to
it's problems-when you get a man
agement that throws up its hands

long as you keep that management,
you will never get ahead
Irrespective of Mr.. Roosevelt's
motives or intentions, I ask you If
this isn't a reasonable proposition:
Here you have had management
in the affairs of your Government
which has had fair trial of eight
years and in all that time it has
been unable to solve the problem Of
the farmer, revive industry, or pro-
vide our people with jobs. And now
that management tells us it can't be
done.
Under such circumstances. what
have you got to lose in making a
change? Isn't it about time TO get
management that believes in the
future of this country and believes
that the job can be done?
1 ask you to put me to work. I
know that this job can be done.

Some of these safeguards have

In this campaign none of these
social gains are at issue. No matter
who wins the election, these laws

We want to see them reinforced

NV point is that all this social

which children are not getting
enough to eat, in which young peo-

have no security-that is not a sue

is not good enough We are not

Police Seek Identity Of Man
Dead From Effects Of Gas

Police today sought the identity
of a freckle-faced red-haired man
who died last night in Casualty
Hospital from the effects of gas.
He was found unconscious in a
rooming house in the 100 block of
E street NV. At the same time
police found the body of William
j. Jackson, SIS, who occupied a room
at the place. Jackson was dead.
Police said the unidentified man
apparently had been visiting Jack
son and that the two had been
drinking. They surmised that gas
burner in the room was turned on
accidentally, killing Jackson before
residents of the place noticed the
odor of gas.
The unidentified man was re-
moved to Casualty Hospital and died
without regaining consciousness.
