UnitY Of Big Three
Called Vital 10 Peace

Continued unity OF Britain, Russia
and the United States is necessary
to prevent another war, Sir Willmoti
Lewis, Washington correspondent O.
the London Times, told the Wash.
ington Building Congress yester.
day at luncheon in the Mayfiowel
Hotel.
The first condition of world
peace" he said, lis a continued
unity Of the three great military
poWers-Britain, Russia and the
United States. Without that, We
are heading toward another grea,
war.
Their prime business" Sir Will
mott continued, "is the organization
OF the great spaces separating them
and any detection from this re-
sponsibiity will doom the world to
q third world war"
The British journalist emphasized
the responsibility of the United
States, whom he said would be the
only great power to emerge stronger
and weather. after the war.
1T is an unacceptable fact" he as
serted, that the only security is
world security" ".~
Sir Willmott advocated that the
foundations of world order be en-
bedded in military strength where
military strength exists, stating that
justice which does not carry a
sword in its hand" is far worse than
injustice. s--.. .s- ......

The crossIey Poll

Eighty mine per cent OF the civil
ians interviewed in pivotal States
who voted for Wendell Willkie
in 1910 irtend to vote for Gov.
Dewey, while 70 per cent OF the 1910
Roosevelt voters intend to vote for
the President for fourth term. On
the other hand, 80 per cent of those
who did not vote In 1910 intend to
vote for Mr.. Roosevelt, compared
with II per cent who expect to vote
for Gov. Dewey, the others being
undecided or not intending to vote.
While reasonably close estimates
OF the armed services vote can be
made for 1914 totals, it. Is not
feasible to break that group down
into fine divisions such as shifts
from one election to another, The
great majority, Of course, are under
80 years Of age, and a considerable
proportion did not vote in 1910. OF
the civilians in that age group who
did not vote in 1910, Al per cent ex-
pect to vote for Roosevelt and 26
per cent for Dewey. Men and
WOiilCAi OtCI oU WHO ulQ IlOt VOCe III
1910 also show a preference for
Roosevelt, but by lesser margin.
Significant Figures.
The net significance Of these
figures is to be found in COMPARE
son with other years. At this time
in 1910 poll in similar States
showed Roosevelt also holding seven
out Of ten of those who voted for
him in 1886, but Willkie holding
about IS per cent of the Landon
voters. Thus, Dewey would seem
to have somewhat more Republican
detection than his predecessor had.
But Dewey can afford this better
than Willkie, because in 1895 the
Republicans polled only SO per cent
Of the major party vote. Willkie
succeeded in advancing that ratio
seven points to IS per cent in 1910.
Dewey could win with only 40 per
cent-four more points-because of
the electoral vote system.

Meat, Butter, Cream
Shortage 10 Continue
Remainder Of Year
BY MALCOLM LAMBORNE. ]

- @ANANOANA AhNhDOhNE, Jf.
Shortages OF meat, butter, fluid
cream and evaporated milk will con-
tinue for the remainder of this wear.
1t appeared today following report
Of the Agriculture Department whicf,
outlined the Nation food situation
for the last quarter of this year.
There will be seasonal increases
In such items as poultry and citrus
fruits and continued large supplies
OF fresh vegetables, fluid milk, eggs.
and grain products, the departments
Bureau Of Agricultural Economics
predicted. However, supplies of
meat, butter, cream and evaporated
milk will be Somewhat shorter"
The agency said that civilian meat
supplies for the rest of the year not
only will be smaller than In either
the same period in 1913 or In the
last three months of this year, but
the quality of meat will be generally
lower.
Beef and Pork Report.
A considerable portion Of the bet
ter grades of both beef and pork will
not be available for civilians because
of the requirements of the armed
forces, the BAE said. THE output
OF the better grades of pork will
increase seasonally, whereas no i'm
provement in the average quality of
beef produced may be expected" the
report stated.
The bureau estimated that total
food costs had increased Al per
cent since 1899, with nearly one
half this increase occurring before
the United States entered the war.
Meat prices jumped about a third.
cereals and bakery products, 16 per
cent; fresh fruits and vegetables.
100 per cent, and canned fruits and
vegetables, Al per cent.
The agency held out no hope for
an improvement in the tight butter
situation and warned that if Gov
eminent procurement follows pres
ent ALLEGATIONS, civilian supply of
some canned vegetables and canned
fruits will be somewhat smaller de-
spite some increase In this years
pack. Canned vegetables are now
of the ration list. but canned fruits
continue on the list with increased
point values.
Monthly Crop Report.
Meanwhile, the departments
monthly crop report scheduled for
release late today was expected to
point up prospects for good yields
of wheat, corn. soybeans and sor-
ghums-crops which will relieve, a
tight feed situation and may re-
suit in better grades of meat next
year.
September weather conditions
have been highly favorable to pas
lures and some grain crops, officials
said.
Lee Marshall, head of War Food
Administrations Office Of Distribu-
ton, predicted last night that food
production this year will be almost
40 per cent above prewar levels.
There is still a chance that pro-
duction will equal the 1912 year,
the best food crop year on record

Willkie 1910

There are some countertrends
For example, 81 per cent of the CLIO
members interviewed who voted for
Roosevelt in 1910 intend to vote for
him today, compared with 10 per
cent now for Dewey OF the compare
lively small number of CLIO Willkie
voters.
Reveal Trends
The above figures show trends
and may not be used by themselves
for computing final standings, as
they include the fixed States and
the armed forces, and, more par
ticularly. those who will make their
decisions later.
The trend shown in these figures
would indicate that if Roosevelt
wins. he Is unlikely to have much
popular vote to spare. He still
could have plenty of electoral votes
by carrying a number Of large
States by narrow margin. On the
other hand, with the nonvoters OF
1910 coming in on the Roosevelt
side. Dewey also is unlikely to have
much popular vote to spare If he
wins. The answer to the question
as to who will win depends largely
on whether the trend continues OF
