Sprawled in his shirt sleeves on 2 jounge in the Broadmoor Hotel last night, the inevitable cigaret in his big hand, the Republican presidential nominee heard the broadcast of Senator Alben Barkley's speech from the Democratic convention last night. “I'll. make the same prediction,’ Mr. Willkie said at the end of Mr. | Barkley's speech, “that I made to] vou the other night—that the President will be nominated on the first ballot and will accept the nomination.” Despite pressure from reporters, he declined to amplify his statement and came down with Mrs. Willkie to relax on the veranda before retiring Mr. Willkie interjected terse comments ta newspapermen on BRarklev'’s address 25 he smoked ecigarets, chain fashion, and ate ham sandwiches

‘All Very Defensive’ “That's thin,” he id at one point “Quite compliment he said when Mr. Rarkley accused him of having been a Republican for only two years When the Democratic convention staged its demonstration at Mr. Barkley's first mention of Myr. Roosevelt's name, Mr. Willkie said, “this is the answer,” referring to the ovation as a positive sign that the President would accept a third term Toward the last of Mr. Barkley's speech, Mr. Willkie commented “It's all very defensive, isn't it.

Others Are Not Surprised

WASHINGTON, July 17 (U. P).— Vice President John Nance Garner declined to discuss President Roosevelt's third-term declaration today, saying that “I'm not issuing any statements of any kind to anybody.” Mr. Garner sent his message ihrough one of his secretaries. Ii was not known whether Mr, Garner retired at his regular 9 p. m. bedtime last night. or whether he may have listened to convention proceedings. Both Republicans and those Democrats still in the Capitol interpreted the statement as “insuring his nomination.’ Senate Republican Leader Charles R. McNary, Republican Vice Presidential nominee, said that Mr. Roosevelt “very conveniently left the front door unlocked.” “It was to be expected,” he added. “He will now be nominated.” Rep. Joseph W. Martin Jr. of Massachusetts, new chairman of the G. O. P. National Committee, said that Mr. Roosevelt's statement meant that “Mr. Roosevelt will be renominated—but he will not be reelected.” “The American people see from a continuance of the Roosevelt Administration only more promises, more taxes and more emergencies.”

Today's War Moves

he said. “The people will not break an abiding American tradition to continue an Administration which, when the score is added up, will be classed as a failure.” Rep. Roy O. Woodruff (R. Mich), | said the statement “won't fool anybodv” and “can't be construed as anvthing but an acceptance statement.” He sald he had been expecting the President ta run for a third term ever since Mr. Roosevelt told the 1936 convention “that he was enlisted in the economic war for the duration.” : Senator Walter F. George (D. Ga.), who the Administration failed to “purge” two years ago, said he believed the statement “does not close the door against a draft.” Senator Rush D. Holt (D, W. Va)), Administration critic who was defeated for renomination in the re-| cent primaries, commented: | “Well, it wasn't any secret.

succeeded in making this plan effective. No vessel bound for Italy from any port beyond the Mediterranean area can reach its destina-| | There never has been a closer blockade than the one Great Britain is now enforcing on Italy nor a simpler one to maintain. The Mediterranean is practically an! inland sea and by holding control of Gibraltar and the Suez Canal, Great Britain really commands the waterway. Italy's only means of breaking the blockade would be to challenge the British fleet to combat and defeat it. The Italians have shown no desire, however, to take the initiative in a naval engagement, risking all by sailing boldly into the open and forcing a sea battle. Italian warships are speedier than the British in almost all classes, though not so powerfully armed and armored. It would be possible for the Ttalians to make a strong bid to gain control of “our sea” through bold leadership and skillful tactics. especially since the British necessity for guarding both ends of the Mediterranean requires that they keep their fleet divided The Italian Navy has shown no disposition, however, to take this chance. It is a wise decision, for the Italian Navy is young in experience and training, while Britain's fleet has the accumulated practical knowledge of centuries at its command. How much concentrated effort Great Britain may apply to the Mediterranean campaign's secondary phase of cutting off supplies for Libya depends on future military developments in Italy's African colonies. To the present time operations by Mussolini's colonial troops | have been negligible. There have been minor struggles {for frontier mud forts in Kenva having no bearing on the outcome of the war. There have been exchanges of air raids in North Africa, also without anv military value. Army operations in Africa, in fact, have not even reached the size of ordinary military peace time maneuvers Each side is pin-pricking the other. British air assaults on Tobruk are of this character.

SLOWS WRITING OF PLATFORM

Shouts for More Help to Democracies Resisting | Aggressor Nations. |

CHICAGO, July 17 (U. P.).— Senator Claude Pepper of Florida delaved completion of the Democratic platform today with an 11thhour demand for a stronger pledge) {of material aid to democracies re- | sisting aggressor nations. Mr. Pepper jumped to his feet as soon as the full platform committee convened to receive the unanimous report of its drafting sub-| committee. He demanded the exact] wording of the foreign affairs plank. | “I haven't seen it yet,” he told {the Committee, “because I was not| a member of the sub-committee by | the grace of the chairman and the isolationists.”

Isolationists Win Plea

The isolationists had won a major victory within the sub-committee by obtaining a strongly worded antiwar declaration and severe limitations nn aid to foreign nations who are resisting aggession or seeking to regain their liberty. The platform carries a pledge that no American forces would be sent to foreign soil unless the Mon-

a a

roe Doctrine is invalidated. | “We are not going to surrender to|

Mr. Pepper said. Committee, however, still hoped to complete the platform for presentation to the convention at the afternoon session.

Pepper Waves Arms

Waving his arms, Pepper shouted that Great Britain is the first line of defense for the United States anc should be given all aid short of men to carry on the struggle against Hitler and Mussolini. He said this nation should sell ships, planes, guns, tanks and ammunition to preserve the British Empire The platform in general reaffirms and commends the policies and acts of the New Deal's first seven vears as the basis for asking for four more years of it. An interesting plank is one regarding public power. This designed to draw an issue with the Republican’ Presidential candidate Wendell IL... Willkie who headed a private utilities holding company, Commonwealth and Southern Corp. until he was nominated.

Seek Liberalized Pensions

The labor plank was reported to be satisfactory to Thomas Kennedy, Pennsylvania resolutions committee member and international secre-tary-treasurer of the C. I. Os United Mine Workers’ Union, and this indicated that New Deal labor policies would be praised and that no recommendation for changes in the Wagner Labor Relations Act would be made The farm plank was expected to soil ‘conservation, producparity payments, and stamp and cotton mmcrease consump - meome groups. The social security plank reportedly calls for liberalization of old-age pensions, and extension of the program to groups now outside the law. od
