Roosevelt Plans

Campaign Talks

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10. up
President Roosevelt has decided
that the time has come for a few
direct pot-ShotS at Governor Thom-
as E. Dewey. the Republican presi-
Dental candidate.
The President will speak in New
York City next Saturday night after
tour of the New York metropol-
itan area, and in Philadelphia on
october o. High Democratic party
officials said he also would make an
appearance in Boston, probably
around election week end. They also
expect him to make brief stab into
the middle west, perhaps speaking
in Ohio and Illinois.
Mr.. Roosevelt's prediction STRAIT
egy is closely akin to the plan he
followed in 1910 when he withheld
'active" campaigning until the last
stages of the presidential race and
then made a quick swing through
the more pivotal political areas.
Mr.. Roosevelt and his campaign
advisers are obviously irritated by
Dewey's use of statements by adj
ministration figures for his attacks
against the New Deal. On two occa-
sions the White House has released
compilations of facts" making the
point that the statements had beer
lifted from context and their mean
ing twisted.

Dewey Charges
Secrecy Marks
Foreign Policy

ALBANY, N. Y, Oct. 10. CUP)-
Governor Thomas E. Dewey, accus-
ing President Roosevelt of handling
foreign relations on basis of per-
sonal secret diplomacy promised
Thursday to submit foreign policy
to popular support if he is elected
President in November.
In blisterin g indictment of
President RooeoVeits S conduct of for
,ign affairs ednes lay night,
Dewey charged that "secret" nego-
tiations have been the custom, cited
relations with Poland, Italy, France
and Romania as examples" and
predicted that continuation of the
policy would prevent a lasting
peace.
Our objectives and our methods
must be known to our people and
approved by them so that they will
be willing to support them and 10
sacrifice for them in all the years to
ccme," he argued.
He proposed that the U. S. par
ticipate in organization of a world
peace league as rapidly as possible,
without waiting for the end of the
war, and that it enter such a COM
pact without any reservations which
would nullify its power to halt fu-
ture aggression, using force if nee
esSary.
The Republican presidential cam
didate expounded his foreign pol u
views in a nation wide broadcast

toria hotels grand ball room in New
York before an invitational audi
ence of approximately 1000 club

social leaders at the final session OF

TALKED WITH FIGHTERS
In discussing the attitude of the
servicemen themselves Phillips said
he had many conversations with
the men in the ranks.
These boys have been working,
many of them under fire, for 20
hours a day since D-Day in June"
Phillips said. What those boys
think of the men in America who
strike can't be printed. 1t would
scorch the paper
The English are eating but the
diet after SO many years is bit
dull and uninteresting, Phillips
agreed. Most of the French are
eating, too, as they have no trans
portation facilities to get their farm
products far and they have no in
dustries to provide goods for sale.
The French are going through a
period of great initiation started
when the Germans fixed the mon
etary rate so low that the French
felt they couldn't get along. The
French used the black market and
boosted prices to take up the slack.
As yet no one has figured out how
tC mend matters.

his recent trip to France,

Phillips declared that the indus
trial might of America was slow
to get going but now was rolling
war materials in seemingly endless,
ineXorablc quantities to sweep our
enemies out of the way while Amer
lean boys accomplished what ap-
Feared to be impossible feats of
courage"
DOING WONDERS
Il shall never forget the steel
