Gently for not certifying disputes to

Protection Of Supplies

BY the Associated Press.


PITTSBURGH. April 25.-Wendell
L. Willkie said today the only way
the American people can realize"
the gravity of the British situation
lis for the administration TO tell
them in detail.
The 1910 Republican presidential
nominee asserted at a general press
interview that he was in favor of
protecting our armament shipments
to Great Britain.
There is no use in our speeding
up production over here he said,
If our supplies for over there are
to rest on the bottom of the ocean.
Supplies there Won't do Great
Britain or America any good.
1T is time for the administration
to give us the facts. and then lead
instead of follow public opinion.

1T is necessary to protect those
shipments
I am waiting, as I know all the
American people are, to be told the
a plan OF protection.
We should be told the facts. re-
gardless of how distressing they
may be-
Asked if he favored the conveying
of shipments with United States de-
stroyers. Mr.. Willkie said:
L am in favor of that method
that our military and naval experts
say is the most effective"
Mr.. Willkie, ruddy-raced and ap-
parently at the peak of his vigor,
said he did not want TO make cap
tious criticisms. but that he did
want to stir Washington into being
frank
Il agree with Secretary Hull and
Secretary Knox, that the situation
is very, very serious, he added,
Disagrees With Lindbergh.
Mr.. Willkie said of Col Charles A.
Lindbergh:
L wholly disagree with what he
says, but he has made and is max
ing the most persuasive argument
of any of the isolationlsts. 1t is
effective because he has stuck to
his argument and is not dealing in
personalities"
Mr.. Willkie implied he might tour
the country if he thought it neces-
sary, to answer the speeches of Col
Lindbergh and Senator Wheeler,
Democrat, of Montana.
OF the tax situation, Mr. Willkie
said:
The tax burden is now going
to be largely borne. not by the rich,
but by the people of ordinary
means"
