WILLKIE CALLS U.S. ‘WEAKENED WITH CYNICISH

Urges “Strong - at - Home’ Foreign Policy at Box Supper.

NEW YORK, May 22 (U. P).— Wendell IL. Willkie, utilities executive mentioned as a Republican presidential possibility, said last night that a cynicism toward the “values they believe in” had weakened the democracies of the world and had placed the United States in the need of enormous defense armameénts. ’ Mr. Willkie spoke at a testimonial box supper and dance given in his behalf by Indiana friends in New York. He recommended a foreign policy based on the idea that “if you are strong at home you are respected abroad.” Referring to the cynicism of the democracies, he said it had “eaten into their lives, weakened their ideals and made them incapable of action.” U. S. Hasn’t Escaped

“The United States has escaped this cynicism,” he said. “We find it today among our young people . . . we find it in Government; for the first time in our history our Government has adopted the theory that our growth is finished, and has cynically undertaken to retard our industries and transfer our destinies into Government hands. “We find it in business; confronted with this cynical Government, few businessmen have put up a fight; few have dared to strike it out; few have dared to trust their own imaginations. We find cynicism, finally, in those who say that it makes no difference to us what happens in Europe, or whether freedom over there is destroyed.” Mr. Willkie, commenting on inadequate national defenses, said “we stand behind President Roosevelt in his insistence” upon a large defense program. He added, however, that it would be impossible for the United States to obtain adequate defense immediately.

Some Things Can’t Be Bought

He said there were some things that could not be bought, “that can be created only by sweat, by courage, and by a belief in the principles of freedom,” and added: “And until we have in Washington a Government that recognizes that fundamental political fact, we shall not have prosperity in this country—no, we shall not even have defense. We shall have only what we have now—debt, uncertainty and fear.”

Bedwell Candidate ‘Only for Congress’

Times Special SPENCER, Ind., May 22.—Charles H. Bedwell, of Sullivan, Seventh District Democratic nominee for Congress, has spiked rumors that he may be a ‘“‘dark horse” candidate for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination. In a speech at McCormick's Creek State Park last night, he said: “I am not a candidate for anything except Congress. It was a fine tribute paid to me by the Seventh District in nominating me for Congress and I have no intention of taking leave of the people who nominated me to be their candidate.”
