Succinet Statement.

This is a clear statement by
Mr.. Willkie of his willingness
to run if the times, and the
people, demand his candidacy.
He makes no mention of how
aggressive he may be when the
pre-convention period rolls round.
Obviously. however, if his many
friends and supporters demand
that he become a candidate, he
will do so. No one could say
more, although some shrinking
vlolets might easily say less.
Mr.. Willkie has also made it
extremely clear that he believes
the Republican party must shake
off its isolationist tendencies and
become a leader in the demand
that the United States take its
full part in world affairs. He has
gone along strongly with the
foreign policy of President Roose-
velt, which looks to all-out aid for
the British and Russians and
others who are fighting the totali-
tartan powers. He has gone along
strongly with the program of
national defense, although he is
convinced that much greater
efficiency can be obtained in pro-
duction and armament for this
country and for its friends abroad.
More recently he has urged the
Republicans in Congress to jump
into the fight for more fast-mov-
ing and drastic action, even to
war on the part of the United
States. He has promised, more
over, to support all Republican
candidates for Congress in the
elections of 1912 who favor and
adhere to these policies.
Yesterday three Republican
members of the Senate, Senators
Austin of Vermont. Bridges of
New Hampshire and Gurney Of
South Dakota. taking a leaf from
the Willkie book, offered in the
Senate an amendment to the
pending armed ship bill which
would repeal the entire Neutrality
Act. This is following Mr.. Will
kie's advice with a vengeance.
Their action stands out in bold
relief when contrasted with the
vote of the Republicans in the
House on the armed ship bill,
when lib voted against that

American merchant ships into COM
bat zones, which the President has
condemned verbally, but so far with
out directly asking its repeal
Over the week end Mr.. Willkie
spent much time on the long dis
tance telephone, seeking to persuade
Republican Senators to join in the
move for neutrality repeal. He ap-
preached about eight Senators, it is
said, but succeeded in convincing
only three of them-Bridges of New
Hampshire. Austin Of Vermont and
! Gurney of South Dakota-to the
point Of sponsoring his plan. 1t is
claimed, however, that four or five
more Republican Senators indicated
strong sympathy with the proposal.
Mr.. Wilkes major thesis is that
both Prime Minister Wintson
Churchill and President Roosevelt
have gone soft at the most crucial
moment of the war He is disguised
over the failure of the British to
attempt an invasion Of the conti-
nent or in some other way provide
a diversion for the hard-pressed
Russians. All along he has been
saying that Mr.. Roosevelt pays too
much attention to popular polls and
partisan political considerations in
determining his course.

In this instance, Mr.. Willkie SAYS.

of the effect any proposed action
may have in the next election.

Administration leaders have in
sisted that they had the votes in
both houses to repeal the prohibition
against sending merchant ships into
combat zones, as we'll as to author
ize arming of these vessels. But to
get the combat zone repeater
through the Senate. they say, would
certainly entail a month of heated
debate, during which the speeches
of isolationists would be featured on
the front pages of newspapers
throughout not only the German
dominated countries but neutral
countries. Belief that this show of
American diSunity just now would
more than offset benefit to the anti
Axis cause derived from free use

is the main reason why President
Roosevelt decided to content himself
for the time being with authority
to arm merchant ships.

Bedtime Stories
By THORNTON w. BURGESS.

Spooky the Screech Owl had asked
Peter why he was looking unhappy.
isn't an empty stomach enough
to make any fellow look unhappy"
retorted Peter rather shortly.
Spooky chuckled. "I've got an
empty stomach myself, Peter" said
he, but it isn't making me unhappy.
I have a feeling that somewhere
there is fat mouse waiting for me. I"
Just then Peter remembered what
Jenny Wren had told him early in
the spring of how Spooky lived the
whole year round in a hollow tree.
Curiosity made him forget for the
time being that he was hungry.
did you live in that tree all summer,
Spooky?' he asked.
Spooky nodded solemnly. 1--WE
lived in that hollow summer and
winter for three years" said he.
Peters eyes opened very wide.
"And till now I never even guessed
It'll" he exclaimed. did you raise
a family there?"
Certainly" replied Spooky. Mrs.
Spooky and I raised four as fine
looking youngsters as you ever have
seen. They've gone out into the
Great World to make their own liv-
ing now. Two were dressed just
like me and two were gray"
That's funny" Peter exclaimed.
whats funny?" snapped Spooky
rather shortly.
why, that all four were not
dressed alike" said Peter.
There's nothing funny about it."
retorted Spooky and snapped his
bill sharply with a little cracking
sound.
I'VE screech Owls like variety.
Some of us are red and some of
us are gray. 1t is a case where you
cannot tell person just by the
color of his clothes"
''I don't see how in winter you get
enough to eat when there are so
few birds about" said Peter.
Birds! snapped Spooky. What
have birds to do with it?"
why, don't you live on birds?"
| asked PeCer lnnOcenJly.
II should say not. I guess I would
starve if depended on birds for my
daily food, retorted Spooky. Il catch
a sparrow now and then, but usually
it is an English sparrow, and I con-
slider that I am doing the Old
Orchard a good turn every time ]
am lucky enough to catch one. But
live mostly on mice and shrews in
winter, and in summer I eat a lot
of grasshoppers and other insects
Were it not for me and my relatives
guess mice would soon overrun the
Great World. Farmer Brown ought
to be glad live in the Old Orchard
I guess he is, for Farmer Browns
Boy knows all about me and never
disturbs me-"
Spooky said nothing more but
spread his wings and few away sc
soundlessly that he seemed more like
a drifting shadow than bird.
