Move to Ease British Credit May Persist After Election

election casualty, Senator William H. King (D. Utah). Senator Claude Pepper has jumped

ent to into the British loan battle. He told relax prohibitions against loans to

the Senate yesterday that Japan,

| Germany and Italy have “mis‘judged the character of the Amer-

ican people” ‘if they expect this

country to discontinue aid to Britain as a result of their new military alliance. President Roosevelt refused at his press conference yesterday to take sides, remarking merely that he had not made any recommendations regarding relaxation of loan prohibitions and did not intend to do so. Senate Majority Leader Alben W. Barkley said the King bill would not come up at this session. Senator Hiram W. Johnson (R. Cal), author of the act, did not believe Mr. King had been acting for thg Administration, but apparently felt the issue would be pressed later. That pressure is expected to develop as British credits here are exhausted—a situation| whi¢h is- not imminent. But British representatives who came here last winter reely told questioners that they would have to have American loans when their own funds were exhausted some time in 1941, British assets in the United States convertible into cash to pay for airplanes and other war purchases here were estimated to aggregate approximately $2,560,000,000 as of June 30, 1940. The Johnson Act forbids any individual to make loans to a nation in default on its debts to the Government of the United States. The spirit but not necessarily the letter of existing statutes also would forbid the United States Government to make such a loan. The British defaulted debt is approximately $5,300,000,000. :

BACKGROUND OF WAR IS STUDIED

Daily Events Si Sdpplement History Texts, Local Teachers Reveal.

By EARL HOFF

World War II may have mapmakers in a whirl, but Indianapolis history teachers are taking the conflict in stride.

They are not ignoring current| events, but neither are they tossing

“You can't really understand what's going on now in the world without knowing the background or the events leading up to the conflicts abroad,” ' Charles Washington High School history department head, said.

At Washington, teacWers are pointing out the reasons for what's happening now and drawing parallels| to events which have taken place in the past.

‘History Is Similar’

"We don’t like to. be trite, but history does repeat itself, if not exgcetly, at least similarly,” Mr. Money said.

The same policy is being followed in other Indianapolis high schools, E. T. Forsyth, social science department head at Shortridge High School, inflicated. He said the faculty there continues to teach history out of texts, but supplements class material with comments on daily events of historical importance recorded in newspapers and magazines and on the radio.

Touch Up Daily Events

Nor are contemporary events ignored in grade school history classes. Miss Anna R. Reade, principal of School 41, said daily hanpenings are touched upon as incidental material to the study of modern history. But teachers, loaded down with other school duties, find it difficult to find time to prepare extensive discussions of very recent events. Their requests, from all over the country, have had Prof. F. Lee Benns, Indiana University history teacher, busy since ‘June on a supplement to his texts, “Europe Since 1870,” and “Europe Since 1914” which will cover events from the German-Austrian Anchluss in the spring of 1938 to the triple alliance of Germany, Italy and Japan,

Already to Printer

The supplement, which will consist of more than 100 pages, has just been sent to the publisher and will be printed by Deeg, 1. Prof. Benns said he would have | preferred to wait until the end of the war to revise or supplement his texts.. Because his writing was so close on the heels of events, he said he found it difficult “to separate the chaff from the facts.” Culling material from newspapers, magazines and news bureau reports from the various countries involved, Prof. Benns said he based most of his writing on such “positive” things as texts of treaties, and statements and speeches of leaders.

‘THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

WILLKIE UP IN NEBRASKA, DPS | IN NEW ENGLAND

Nominee’s Gain in Midwestern State Offset by Roosevelt in Massachusetts.

By DR.*GEORGE GALLUP Director, American Instituta of Public Opinion.

PRINCETON, N. J, Oct. 2—A sharp rise took place in Willkie sentiment throughout Nebraska even before Wendell Willkie entered the state late last week to make his farm speech at Omaha, and Nebraska is today leaning Republican by a‘ substantial margin. The results of the latest Institute poll, reflecting sentiment during the first week of Mr. Willkie’s western tour show a four-point Republican gain in Nebraska since mid-Septem-ber. The rise came just before Nebraska’s famed independent Senator, George W. Norris, enthusiastically indorsed President Roosevelt for a third term. The trend of sentiment in Nebraska in four consecutive Institute polls, including the latest, is as follows: “If the Presidential election were

held today, would you vote for | Roosevelt or for Willkie?” ; Roosevelt. Willkie. Aug. 4 .......i... 119 56% Aug. 25 ....o0eio.. 13 57 Sept. 20 ...0ii... 47 53 Today ..:....si... 43 57 Approximately one Nebraska.

voter in every 12 (8 per cent) was, undecided in the latest poll.

Will Gains Be Duplicated?

With the Willkie campaign centering in the Middle West and Far West in recent weeks, the rise in Nebraska poses the vital question | as to how much voting sentiment has been changed by Mr. Willkie's | barnstorming campaign tour. Will | the Nebraska gains be duplicated in other states west of the Mississippi? Further light will be shed on this important question when the complete 48-state returns of the present poll are in. A report on the Far West and Pacific Coast states — the area through which Mr. Willkie toured —will be made Friday, and a complete report of the nation will follow on Monday.

Advance Is Offset

Offsetting the Republican gains ‘in Nebraska arg important Democratic gains in one of the biggest eastern states, Massachusetts. Massachusetts had been in the Republican column continually since early August, but in the latest survey it flops over into the Democratic column with a threepoint gain in Roosevelt sentiment.

Wendell Willkie’s .speech at 8:30 tonight has not been scheduled by Indianapolis radio stations but is to be carried by WENR, Chicago. ” =» The Women’s National Radio Committee has spent several months trying to find out what listeners thought of the serial programs (“soapsuds operas”) that fill the nr: -

Listeners like a series “complete in each issue,” which accounts in some measure for the popularity of Vie and Sade. They are irritated when the heroine is in danger of her life at the close of the broadcast, to be rescued the next day.

There, in the latest study, a shift of three points in favor of Roosevelt was found by the ' Institute. Whereas the state was in the Willkie column in mid-September,

and 49 per cent for Mr. Roosevelt, today the situation is reversed, with Mr. Roosevelt leading by 52 per cent, to 48 per cent for Willkie. It must be remembered, of) course, that the Willkie campaign | has only just begun, and that the] candidate has not made a personal’ appearance in New England.
