America is planning to give, but 1t IS
not enough that We merely build

"A defensive attitude with a
smaller feet against Japan seems
mandatory in order that the At

The defeat of Hitler must be our
first objective. If We become too
involved now in the Pacific We shall
be playing into the hands of Hitler

Anything Japan takes now can
be retaken if England wins"

American Way Of Life

Urges Giving Roosevelt
Needed Power so We
Con Meet Him Again
By the Associate Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Jan. 17.-Wendell
L. Willkie is convinced that If
Great Britain collapses, the free
way of life" will pass from America.
He urged all Americans to give
President Roosevelt all the power
he needs. 80 that we can debate
with him again in another free
election" when called from the
audience of Americas Town Meet
ing of the Air" to comment on
Socialist Leader Norman Thomas
opposition to the lease-lend bill.
IF 1 believed that Britain could
collapse and America could survive
economically" he said, then I
would not take single risk in in
volving this country in any inter-
national entanglements.
Speaks ExtemporaneOusIy
But if on the other hand I be-
lieved, as I do believe. that if Brit
ain collapses within a few years the
free way of life will pass from
America, then even I who opposed
the election of Franklin Roosevelt
with all my being would grant to
him such extraordinary powers"
He spoke extemporaneously last
night after a debate between Mr..
Thomas and DR.. Frank Kingdom,
chairman of the New York Chap
ter of the Committee to Defend
America by Aiding the Allies.
Mr.. Thomas took the position
that the lease-lend bill would set
up a dictatorship in the United
States and authorize the die
tator to wage mdeclared war
with whatever enemy he selects"
The issue of peace or war, Mr..
Thomas contended. should be de-
cided by the people through their
right of suffrage.
"One Honorable Thing to Do"
''If the life of our Nation and the
defense of our homes is so COM
pletely bound up with all possible
aid to Britain, as the supporters of
the bill allege," Mr.. Thomas said.
there is only one honorable and
straightforward thing to do, and
that is to declare war and then
fight that war as strategy demands,
with many men or few"
Mr.. Kingdom maintained that
this country faces the gravest
threat against our national indie
pendence" in its history: that its
defense lies in British victory, and
that the comforting of special
power upon the Executive in times
of emergency is proved and char
acteristic technique of democracy"

out jokingiy that the bill contains
no prohibition against the President
of the United States standing on his
head. Such an action. he added.
would produce a very dangerous
situation, and he does not expect 10
do anything of the kind.
Reminded that the question was
directed more specifically at the idea
of acquiring foreign warships. the
President pointed out that Congress
might even authorize him to pur-
chase the German Navy. He added
then that the whole discussion
sounded ike jumping over the
moon" proposition.
AS he was pressed further for his
reaction 10 placing some limitations
in the pending measure, the Chief
Executive suggested that perhaps it
would be wise to specify that he
should not stand on his head.
Then. to a blunt question why
such broad authority is proposed in
the legislation, the President made
his explanation of the possible need
for quick action in a world that is
being changed drastically every "a
hours.
Informed by Press of Ryan Strike.
The President said he knew Moth
ing about the threatened strike in
the Ryan aircraft plants in Cali
fornia beyond what he has read in
the paper A local selective service
official is reported to have threatened
potential strikers with choice OF
working or being drafted.
Mr.. Roosevelt dismissed as just
another japanese news story the
proposal that the United States Fleet
be withdrawn from the Pacific.
Mr.. Roosevelt threw back his head
and laughed uproariously when
some one inquired whether he had
discussed the lease-lend legislation
with Archbishop Amleto Cicognani,
the apostolic delegate from the Vati-
can. who called on him earlier in
the week. He shook his head in the
negative.
In another field of the defense
program. Mr.. Roosevelt said it was
old news that navy yards would go
on a third shift basis. He said he
had announced last August that they
would do so as soon as they could,
whenever the need arose.
No executive order will be re-
quired to adjust the work-week Of
navy yard employees, he said. A
three shift basis, he asserted, will
mean merely that three men will be
employed on a particular job instead
of one.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-Two large
British vessels-the 14,935-ton pas
senger liner Almeda Star and the
l0,578-ton freighter Zealandic-were
torpedoed overnight in the same gen.
eral area northwest of Londonderry,

Nazis had thrown into the sea war;
fare submarines large enough to
stand the punishment of winter
storms.
The IS S S" signals from the two
ships, the first heard in several
days, cracked through the air waves
less than eight hours apart. They
gave no indication whether the ships
were sinking, or whether they could
make a port.
The Zealandic, a 482-foot ship out
Of Southampton, was first to signal
distress. Shortly after pm. yes
terday she reported being torpedoed
approximately $50 miles northwest of
Londonderry and gave her position
as latitude 1923 north, longitude
2043 west"
That was the only word from the
Zealandic. which customarily trades
between England and New Zealand
Then, at 12:49 am. today, the
Almeda Star radioed that she had
been hit approximately $50 miles
northwest of Londonderry. She gave
her position as latitude 59l6 north,
Longitude 1340 west"

Wallace Report Sees
Large Scale Shifts
In arm Programs
Further Reductions Also
Held Likely Due to Wars
Impact and Notionolism
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Henry A. Wallace, in his last re-
port as Secretary of Agriculture. said
today that the wars impact on
American agriculture may require
additional large scale" shifts in
crop production and an overhauling
of the New Deal farm programs.
With foreign markets impaired by
economic nationalism, increased
competition and finally the war, the
Vice President-elect said that farm
ers will have to think anew about
making further reductions in acre
ages of cotton. wheat. tobacco and
other products which formerly found
outlets abroad.
Growing unneeded crops is sheer
waste of labor, of capital and OF
soil, even if temporarily the products
can 60 into storage under Govern
ment loans" Mr.. Wallace's final an
nual report said
Everything Is in Flux.
Covering the 12-month period
prior to Mr.. Wallaces resignation in
September as Secretary. the report
said Federal farm programs may
have to put more emphasis on shift
ing entire enterprises or systems of
farming in certain areas or regions, -
and. added:
Collectively and individually,
farmers. with suitable Federal aid,
should do all they can to adjust their
output to the actually available mar
ket.
IN the setting created by the war
we may have to overhaul our farm
price-adjustment policy. Exactly
what new shape it will require, We
do not yet know. Everything is in
f1ux. on so great a scale, that it
would be idle to propose details
Mr.. Wallace said, however, that
future price policies may require
differentials between export prices
and domestic prices, and between
the cost of farm commodities to the
ordinary consumer and the cost to
the person on relief.
Certificate Plan Favored
The situation requires, he con-
tinued, separation of surplus pro-
duction from the rest of the supply
and disposal of the surplus in some
special manner. He indicated that
he continued to favor, for some
products, the so-called certificate
plan" of boosting grower income
from that portion of crops consumed
in this country while permitting
prices to adjust themselves at levels
which would permit the surplus to
compete favorably in world markets.
Under this plan, the Government
would allot marketing certificates
to farmers who co-operated with
crop control programs. Manufac-
turers would be required to buy
these certificates. These certificates.
which would cover each farmers
share of the domestic market, would
be valued at the difference between
the market price and the parity
price. This plan. he said, would be
in effect processing tax.
