he said. "Of course there is a
material chance that she will be
able to do so.

possible by this bill, will narrow

PRAISES BILL CURB

Willkie proposed that the bill be
revised TO specify that the Presi-
dent aid only the British Empire,
Greece and China.
He also praised changes made
by the House when it passed the
bill, asserting:
Certain very wise amend
ments have been adopted by the
House-fixing q time limit on
the powers granted; authorizing
Congress to terminate by joint
resolution the powers granted:
apportioning the amount disable
under this bill from present
appropriations.
WOULD LIMIT SCOPE
I'm the brief time that I have
had to study the bill | cannot
give you In specific language
any additional amendments. but
believe that an amendment
limiting the operation of the bill
to aid to England and the British
commonwealth of nations, China
and Greece would be wise.
These are the only countries
presently subject to aggression.
l believe Congress should retain
the power to pass upon aid to
any other countries which may
be later subject to aggression"
On the question of the United
States becoming involved in the
Willkie said:
NO man can guarantee that
the policy of aid TO Britain will
not involve the United States in
war. II is my solemn opinion,
however. that, providing the aid
Is effective. IL offers the best
clear chance for us to keep out
of war.
Hitler will make war on us,
or on our friends and allies in

II he chooses. That is his record.

one point-talking about destroy

ASKS NATIONAL UNITY

Willkie pleaded earnestly for
national unity and careful study
of the bill to determine what pow
ers which IT now would vest IN
the President could be deleted
without seriously impairing the
purpose of the legislation
Willkie spared no words in pic
turing what he termed the grave
dangers America faces. He said
American democracy has q
fateful decision to make at this
time. / feel that perhaps the
American people have not yet
fully grasped the extent of the
crisis, or of their responsibility
with regard TO 1t.
TWO ALTERNATIVES
There has been too much
loose talk about invasions, too
little frank discussion of the
real dangers - dangers with
which we are faced and con-
corning which we are forced to
decide.
"In general, two great alter
natives lie before us.
"One alternative Is the sug-
gestion that America withdraw
within herself. According to this
view, we should build up our
