Associated Press War CORRESPONDENT

MOSCOW, Oct. l6.-Izvestia,
Soviet government newspaper,
said today the coming three
power Moscow conference would
play an important part in Or
ganizing the final defeat of Ger
many.
The newspaper insisted that mill
tary questions must come before
other problems such as postwar CO.
operation, as did Pravda, the Com
munist party newspaper, in a recent
issue, and declared that "undoubt-
edly the question of decisive reduc-
ton in the length of the war and of
victory in the shortest possible time
is tied up inseparably with the prob
lem of opening a second front in
Western Europe"
The front page article reflected
confidence that an accord could be
reached on both military and polit-
ical questions.

New Japanese Successes
Acknowledged by Chinese

BY the Associated Press.
CHUNGKING, Oct. 16.-Japanese
successes in new drives both in Yum
nan Province bordering Burma and
in Kiangsu Province on the eastern
front were acknowledged in today's
Chinese communique.
Liyang, in Southern Kiangsu, was
occupied by Japanese forces on Oc-
tober 8 with the Chinese garrison
withdrawing to a "predesignated
locality" the communique said.
Last nights communique said
japanese forces advancing west of
the Salween River in Yunnan had
captured the town of Pienma.
1t was believed that no fewer than
10000 Japanese were taking part in
the drive, presumably aimed at

Salween River to offset an Allied
thrust at the town of Myitkyina in
Northern Burma, a vital point In

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 16.-Declaring
that he knew from personal
observation that all the world
looks to America for leadership,
Wendell L. Willkie last night
warned the Republican party not
to choose presidential candi-
date who hedges or qualities or
whose record is ambiguous on the
issues of the day"
The Commute address, on a radio
network broadcast, was considered
by some to be the keynote address
of his campaign for the 1914 presi-
Dental nomination. 1t was his reply
to a series of questions put to him
by Missouri political groups.
Mr.. Willkie stressed that If the
Republicans picked an able man, "a
man whose record leaves no doubt
that he is qualified '''I will, of
course, support him"
Defends Stand.
He told his listeners that "you
have heard men call me interna-
tionalist and with that word they
try to get the implication I am
thereby less an American. I do be-
lieve in international cooperation,
not because I love America less but
because love her more-America
OF well-being of jobs. of oppor-
tunity, of ideals and of free men,"
At a press conference earlier in
the day, Mr. Willkie referred directly
to one Of the questions put to him
by the Missouri group: DO you be-
lieve that 1t is desirable for America
to permit flooding our country with
alien ideas?"
He said the glory of America is
that it is free country where men
can take their ideas ito the market
place and test them"
Il am not afraid of examining any
idea" he declared. Our democratic
form of government is strong enough
to stand discussion of all ideas"
Hits Schneiderman Case.
He said that was why he defended
William Schneiderman, a Com
munist whom the Government
sought to deprive of his citizenship.
Mr.. Willkie asserted the suit was as
"illlberal an action as any reaction
Il have an obsession for civil
liberties" he said. The test of
mans belief is whether he has the
courage to defend the man with
whom he most thoroughly dis
agrees"
Asked today whether he would
formally declare himself seeker of
the Republican nomination, Mr..
Willkie continued; why should I
make any decision at this time?"
Il have certain very deep and
very strong convictions of what nv
party should do. If my convictions

Lewis Requests

Asks Eoch Worker
To Sacrifice His
Feelings in Dispute

John L. Lewis, president Of the
United Mine Workers, today
called on thousands OF striking
miners in Alabama and Indiana
to "call a meeting and vote to
Immediately return to work"
Il hope each mine worker will
again sacrifice his personal interest
and subordinate his righteously out
ragged feelings and return to work on
Monday" Mr.. Lewis telegraphed the
miners
The text Of Mr.. Lewis telegram
to local unions affiliated with the
UNIV in Alabama District 20 and
Indiana District II follows:
Yesterday Secretary Kennedy
CIhomas Kennedy of the UNIV and
conferred with seven members of
the National War Labor Board. We
answered all of their questions, and
they assured us they would definitely
pass on the question of our contract
next week.
1T is also my considered personal
Judgment that for reasons Of logic,
the board cannot escape approving
the pending contract and making it
applicable throughout the industry.
L know who discouraged and en-
uttered you are because of the
shabby treatment you are receiving.
Would Avoid Damage"
you are denied a wage that will
provide adequate food for your fam
lilies, while the coal operators are
making the greatest profits in his
tory
However, We all want to avoid
any damage to the war effort or to
the interests of our country.
Il am therefore requesting that
the members of each local union call
a meeting and vote to Immediately
return to work.
I hope each mine worker will
again sacrifice his personal interest
and subordinate his righteously out
ragged feelings and return to work
on Monday"
Mr.. Lewis appeal to the miners
came while fears spread that the
unauthorized work stoppage would
spread into new general strike and
the WLB planned a meeting late
today to deal with the situation.
More than $4,000 miners were idle
in the two States today and II fur
naces were ordered closed down in
the Alabama steel district.
The War Labor Board last night
called on Mr.. Lewis to get the min
ers back to work, and avert an
other Gripping blow to the war
effort.
The familiar slogan of the mine
workers, mo contract, no work"
was their expressed reason for quit
ting. This time, however, the walk
out was unauthorized by either the
national or local units of the UNIV.
Call Upon Lewis.
In the appeal to Mr.. Lewis and
other mine leaders, the War Labor
Board said:
we call upon you as a respon-
slble leader of your union to urge
the employees to return to their Jobs
at once so that full and continuous
production may be resumed.
The continuance of the strike by
thousands of coal miners in nu-
merous Alabama mines by members
OF your union is seriously interrupt
ing the production of material vital
ly necessary for nation at war.
This strike is contrary to labor's
no-strike policy and the national
policy"

night.
The manifesto, bearing the sigma
