under the circumstances; that you
Immediately recommended and the
men agreed to 60 back to work the
next day. This action on the part
of you and the employees was in
keeping with my request of Decen-
Der % that parties of labor disputes
should, during these days, prevent
stoppages of work and production.
Il was even more gratif1ed to learn
that as evidence of good faith the
men had also volunteered to make
up eight hours production work
without overtime pay in order to
make up for any production loss
because Of the ill-advised walkout.
II hope you will take occasion to
assure the men in this plant OF my
qualification on Ibis patriotic action"

British Report Making
Progress in Checking
Nazi Night Bombers
Cite Germon Admission
Six PIones FuiIed to
Return From Ruid
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, Jan. l3.-The British
Press Associations air correspond
ent said yesterday that Germany's
admission that six planes failed to
return from Friday nights raids, in
which the British claimed only two,
may mean progress Is being made
in the search for a thoroughly con-
vincing answer to the night bomber
The writer added that a scientific
search was being made by the best
brains of Britain for methods of
locating high-hying raiders and
there was reason the believe British
instruments already in use are in
advance of anything yet evolved by
the enemy"
Opinion varies as to the propor-
ton of losses which any effective
reply must entail. The Press Asso-
cations correspondent quoted one
senior army expert as saying, Il
shall not be content until we bring
down 10 per cent of all night
raiders"
Sub-Stratosphere Flights.
Experts, the correspondent added,
are not overlooking the possibility
that the German air force may be
using sub-stratosphere raiders when
lower attitudes become too hot for
them.
Already against low-fying raiders
the Befors gun, equipped with
new predictor. has shown itself To
be an absolute killer" scoring a
hit in every 20 rounds, the corre-
spondent said.
There is evidence" he con-
tinued, that concentration of fire
on the estimated position of the
raiders as distinct from barrage
or wall of fire has proved effective.
For instance, a high percentage of
raiders in the later stages of the
Coventry blitZ were thus turned
away. incidentally, rumors that
the city's guns ran out of ammuni-
ton are groundless.
Another Trick Used.
"Other methods tried include one
in which certain gun zones open
up fiercely while others are strange
" quiet. 1t is assumed that this
trick is being played with the OBJ
ject Of misleading the enemy as tn
his true position and to induce him
to drop incendiaries in the wrong
place.
Finally it is calculated that the
expenditure of British anti-aircrctt
shells instead of increasing as ito
night blitz goes into its fifth month
has in fact dropped two-thirds."

Text of WiIIkie Statement
CO. P. Nominee Fuvors Leose-Lend Bill
With Notifications, Including Time Limit

the formulating and drafting of
the bill and daily continues it's
partisan attacks. The Republic
ans will gain much in public
esteem if they ignore this con-
fusion of partisanship with pa
triotiSm.
S. While the debate over this
bill is going on the administra-
ton can we'll devote itself with
out loss of time in the accom-
pliShment of our national OBJ
jective to concentrating on
organizing the defense program.
This program is obviously lag
ging. The administration has
failed to make simple organiza-
tional moves that would bring
about more rapid production.
There is still too much politics,
public showmanship and cheap
propaganda in the defense pro-
gra mand the plans are still
obscure. Big industrial names
do not build a defense. Organiza-
ton. planning and hard work
will. We must place more con-
f1dence In whether
labor or management-and set
ourselves higher goals.
Would Confine Debate
To Merits of Bill.
6. I hope the debate concerning
this bill is confined to the merits
of the bill. Appeasers, isolation
lists, or llp-service friends of
Britain will seek to sabotage the
program for aid to Britain and
her Allies behind the screen of
opposition to the bill. 1t makes
vital difference to the United
States which side prevails in the
present conflict. l refute the
statement that our national
security is not involved in a
British defeat. The difference
between a British defeat or vic
tory is not only military but
economic. For many years now.
owing to the restrictive economic
legislation of the New Deal and
to the unrest and uncertainty of
Europe, We have been maintain
ing our standard of living by
lavish deficit spending. In the
long run. this expedient won't
work. 1t will end in national
bankruptcy, imitation. collapse
and the supplanting of the demo-
cratic system by a totalitarian
system in this country. If Ger
many wins the present war, and
the trade routes of the world
are closed to us, or opened only
on a totalitarian base, We shall
inevitably suffer either such a
collapse, or the adoption of
totalltarian controls of our
economic life. We shall be driven
back to controlled economy. as
to both foreign and domestic
trade.
The hope for democracy is the
victory of those powers which
believe in our way of life. and
in a peace that really assures the
principle of free enterprise
throughout the world; the re-
opening of the trade routes, the
re-establishment of the open
markets, and the rebirth of the
confidence of men in one another.
The present bill, I believe,
must be considered in the light
of the total situation. We must
see the world whole, and we
must recognize the dangers that
face us, not alone from within,
but also from without. For this
very reason am personally plan
ming in the near future a trip
to England. I shall take the
trip in order to see what condi-
tlons are over there, and to
obtain a broader perspective on
such matters as this current bill,
and. other problems with which
the American people will in
evitably be faced while democ-
racy is under attack.
