MAJORITY BACKS AID FOR CANADA

87% Now Want U.S. tol}

Send Armed, Support in Event of Invasion.

By DR. GEORGE GALLUP Director, American Institute of Public Opinion.

PRINCETON; N. J., June 19.— With a furious Nazi assault against

the British expected as the aftermath of the French surrender, an

overwhelming majority of American | :

voters favors sending armed forces to ald Canada if she is attacked. A

national survey completed just prior ||

to the French capitulation found nearly nine in every 10 voters supporting the idea of aid to America’s northern neighbor. . "How this sentiment will be affected by. the fact that England is now alone in her war against Hitler remains to be seen in future surveys. But it is significant that up to last week sentiment for aiding Canada had risen sharply since the early days of the war. The trend is shown in the vote on the following question, which the American Institute of Public Opinion put to ‘a cross-sec-tion of voters throughout the rid try: “If Canada is actually raed by any European power, do you think o the United States should use its|s Army and Navy to aid Canada?”

Yes No

Last October .....e.0e:.73% 21% Last Week ..c.eeeeeess 87 13

In last week’s survey only a tiny propo pon (6 per cent) expressed no opini The . is the latest evidence of the public's desire not merely to defend the United States proper, but also to build up a system of hemisphere defense. In addition to aiding Canada against attack, American voters in previous surveys have declared themselves in favor of defending countries around the Panama Canal, and in South America. Such defense is favored by the publi¢ chiefly for the reason that “Germany must not be allowed to get a foothold anywhere near our gates,” and that “our line of defense | extends beyond our own borders.” . |

New Talbot St.

The watchword last night at the opening of the new Talbot St. was: “If things get dull, sound that siren —and keep it going!” Talbot St., closed since last winter between 16th and 22d Sts. was ned to the tune of children rieking for pop, the blare of four pt nn equipped with loudspeakers, and a general air of Mardi Gras. The T-corner of 22d St. and Talbot St. was closed to form a dance

neighborhood co-operated in what they called “a neighborhood show to end all neighborhood shows.” At 6:55 p. m. there was scarcely a person on the corner. At 7:10 it had begun to resemble a merry-go-round gone mad. Programs had been distributed to each person. They had to be signed by each merchant to make them valid for gifts. Boys and girls, and their mothers and fathers streamed from one store to another, getting their cards signed. They came so fast the proprietors hardly had time to wait on the trade. A pretty girl giving away samples of gum was swamped by the kids as

About 8:30 the street dancing started to the music of Denny Dutton and his Band. A pair of stationery searchlights augmented the

streetlights.

WILLKIE STAR

_ |tween U. S. Senator Robert A. Taft

RISES IN STATE

8 to. 10 Hoosier Delegates Reported for Utility Executive.

The vanguard of the Indiana delegation to the National Republican Convention will leave for Philadelphia tomorrow with Wendell L. Willkie reportedly gaining favor as the Hoosier favorite son for the Presidency. Credited a bare three weeks ago with having only two of Indiana’s 28 delegates, the New York utility executive now .is said to have between eight and 10 delegates for the first ballot roll call. The remainder of the Hoosier delegation still is reported split be-

of Ohio, Thomas Dewey of New York, Senator Arthur Vandenburg of Michigan and Governor John Bricker of Ohio. Taft supporters in the delegation claim the Senator will have the most Hoosier voes on the first ballot. The recent gains made by Mr. Willkie is credited to the selection of Rep. Charles A. Halleck of Renssalear, Ind., to make the nominating speech for the Hoosier favorite son. Rep. Halleck, who is a delegate, had been listed in the doubtful column before his selection in Washington last week. His nominating speech, with a definite Hoosier flavor, is expected to swing several other “on-the-fence” delegates when the voting starts. The original Willkie boosters among the Indiana delegation were Will G. Irwin of Columbus, National Committeeman, and Jerome Beeler of Evansville. Mr. Irwin has continued silent about his rumored desire. to retire as committeemen and he may be re-elected, especially since a bitter scramble was started for his post. ” State Republican Chairman Arch N. Bobbitt and his staff will leave for Philadelphia tomorrow to set up Indiana headquarters in the Adelphia Hotel. Other members of the delegation will leave Friday night and Saturday.
