Not Asking, However,

The secretary empha sized, how
ever, that the White House is not
asking Mr.. wil1kie or anybody else
to make such public utterances, al
though adding 1T would be fine If
he did do it."
The secretary's announcement of
the Presidents radio audience last
night was based on a study given
the White House by the Columbia
Broadcasting System. 1t was esti-
mated that IS $4,000 persons In the
continental United States had
listened to the speech, with an addi-
tional 100000 in Canada, South
America and the British Isles. Short
wave broadcasts were being repeated
today, particularly to the British
Isles, where the actual time of Mr.
Roosevelts delivery acted against
maximum reception.
Mr.. Early said that response to
the speech also had reached an all
time high in the form of letters,
kilograms and telephone calls re-
ceived at the White House. Facii-
ties we're overtaxed and a tabula-
ton of this reaction is thus far i'm
possible. he said.

Elemental executive orders would

Today Mr. Roosevelt had a
luncheon conference with Lord
Halifax, British Ambassador. 1t was
expected that British needs and
Joint steps for meeting such require
ments were to be discussed.
After the luncheon Lord Halifax
disclaimed any knowledge of specific
steps contemplated by this Govern
ment to protect trans Atlantic
transport of war supplies for Brit
ain. He told White House reporters
that the whole problem is his BUSH
ness meaning the Presidents. Ac-
tually, the Ambassador said. the
subject had not been discussed at
todays meeting and his implication
was that the British are content to
abide by whatever decision the Pres
ident makes.
The Ambassador was accompanied
by John Maynard Keynes, econo-
mist, and both said the President
had submitted to them an informal
report on American military pro-
duction. They expressed themselves

In many small homes, however,
entrance to the house is made
through the living room. The only
passageway from the kitchen to
the front door is through the living
room, so that, instead of being a
place of relaxation, the living room,

Screen Is Marketed
Which Defeats Heat
Shutting Out Sun
Venetion Blind Principle
Allows Air to Circulate
But Stops Roys
By LAWRENCE CROLIUS.

Are you looking for some simple,
inexpensive way to keep your house
or apartment cool and comfortable
during the hot summer months? II
you work in a pleasantly air-con-
ditioned Office you probably notice
the heat more than ever when you
try to relax in a stuffy living room,
or sleep in torrid bedroom. This
isn't at all necessary these days, you
know, because numerous devices
have been brought out in recent
years which do much towards pro-
viding comfort without involving
great expense.
Keeping heat out of room is a
major point in this battle against
the weather, and an obvious point
of entry are the windows. But II
you close the windows the supply of
air Is cut off. and the inside of the
house heats up like the interior of
your car when it stands in the sun
with all the windows rolled up.
Hence. way must be found to keep
out the suns rays, and still let air
circulate.
A new type of window screen now
Is available which takes care of
these two requirements, and still
fulfills its duty as a screen. 1t looks
for all the world like any other
screen, fine and airy. but on closer
inspection you will find that the
wires are fiat. and make an amaz-
ingly small venetian blind" The
Stats naturally are tiny, but they
still cut off the rays of the sun, and
keep heat outside. Your view Is
not blocked by this clever arrange
ment any more than it is by any
other type of standard screen ma
terial. and the breezeS, if any, are
able to blow inside unhampered.
We are advised by the makers of
like any other window or porch
screen. 1t will keep out insects. and
since the direct days of the sun
are prevented from crashing through
your windows, you also should notice
big reduction in the fading of cur
tains and draperies.
Few things can be quite as eX-
asperating as an electric outlet
which refuses to accept the prongs
of plug that you are cropping around
with. Outlets are installed in such
out-of- -the-way places that it takes
q direct drive and a lucky push
to make the desired connection, and
We believe it is high time this ele-
ment of chance is removed in favor
of more positive arrangement.
A simple new face plate, which
guides the prongs into the slots
automa tically, answers this problem
On this new convenient outlet the
slots are arranged so that they are
set deep with slanting face all
around which centers the plug and
enables you to make the connection
with minimum of fuming.

and consumers a reasonably re- munerative level, an international restriction scheme was introduced in 1884. It has been called probably the most elaborate experiment yet devised in the economic planning of an international industry.
 Total area under control> is be- tween eight and nine million acres, with total productive capacity of perhaps 1,300,000 tons annually. The humble Javanese smallholder in the Netherlands Indies is as much affected by it as the big es- tate.
 Voting at meetings of the rubber controlling committee is based on standard tonnages allotted to each country, and since decisions are to export quotas require a two-thirds majority, Malaga and the Neither lands Indies hold a whip hand, for their quotas total nearly 30 per cent of the whole.
 DO RUBBER BARONS"
 CONTROL INDUSTRY?
 It is often asked whether the rubber industry in these two chief producing countries is in the hands of a few rubber barons.' '' The answer is not easy to give.
 There has never been any delib- crate swing toward justification of the industry, but in practice a few big companies have tended to get control of smaller properties and thus increase their influence
 Agency houses-firms which rep resent here the companies which have their headquarters in London or elsewhere overseas-are g big voice in the industry. They have often bought up estates that have fallen on the market; at other times they have helped finance company reconstruction.
 Rubber production, however, re- mains reasonably free from exter- nal control Even the international regulation scheme, which has been given the force of law in coun- tries which agreed to it, is oper- ated almost entirely by the indus try itself.

JOHNSON DEFENDS
 WENDELL WILLKIE
Former Local Newspaper Man Declares Criticism
 Unjust, Thosghtless'

CVriticism of Wendell L. Willkie for his stand on the iend-lease bill is unjust and thoughtless." de- clared Frank T. Johnson, publicity director for the Republican state central committee in an address before the Exchange club of Ca naan Tuesday night.
 Said MT. Johnson.
 Speaking as an individual and not from the viewpoint of any par ty or organization, would say that a great deal of the criticism lev- elled at Wendell Willkie for his stand on the lease-lend measure now before Congress and for his present visit to England, is unjust and thoughtlesS. He was the choice of nearly g million Americans for the nations highest office, and l look upon it as entirely responsible that he should desire first-hand facts on any conditions which af- feet the well-being of so large a group, a group for which he is in many quarters considered the spokesman.
 MT. Willkie is in Europe purely and simply as an individual, and when he returns his message to the American people will be not the carefully measured words of dip lomat, not the censored utteranceS of public official susceptible to or ders from highr officials, but the free and open expression of an American citizen with first-hand knowledge of the subject. he will discuss.
 Whether we do or not agree with the foreign policy of this admins tration, it is my belief that it rep reSents the desire and will of an overwhelming majority of the American people. The will of Amer lea is to see the dictators van- quished, and while it is possible that history may prove the major ity unwise, nevertheless the very essence of democracy is the rule by majority. It is encumbent up- on the country'S leaders to sense and to know the will of that major ity and to govern the country &C., cordingly."

Output under the international reg ulation scheme has been fixed at 100 per cent until the U. s. demand has been met.
 Recent American buying is attrib-. utable principally to decision to build up huge reserve of this stra- tegic raw material. British growers are going all-out to meet the de- mand-aot only because it means increased profits to their share holders, but also because sale of rubber brings in handsome supplies of U. s. dollars for the British treas ury, which needs them to buy mu- nitionS and aircraft.
 Second only to sales of Scotch whiskey, rubber is an invaluable aid to Great Britain in making arms purchases in the United States. So is tin, which Malaya also exports. MALAYA RUBBER
 CAME IN WITH AUTOS
 Malaya's rubber industry is of comparatively recent growth. It had a convenient starting date of 1910, when the growing popularity of the motor car jumped the demand.
 In that year about 1000, 900 acres were planted in rubber, but very lit- tie of it was ready for tapping and world exports were only about H. 900 tons. Rubbert was selling for about $2.50 a pound, and there was 8 rush on the part of the public to invest its money in an industry that promised big profits.
 At the end of the last war, ex- ports of plantation rubber were about 310,000 tons year, with the price less than 50 cents. But hand some profits were still being made The proce fell as production in- creased, and things did not look too bright for the industry.
 By 1892 rubber was down to less than 5 cents a pound. Those were bad times for Malaya, but one inn portant lesson was learned which will stand in good stead if and when synthetic rubber becomes a serious competitor. It was found that production costs could be re- duced to a very low level.
