- Partial Text of Willkie’ s Address “on Foreign Affairs

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 18 (U. P.). —A partial text of Wendell Willkie’s speech on foreign

affairs last night follows:

We can see in Europe that advance of bloody armies across nations that were once numbered in a democratic world. . . . And when we turn in the other direction and look across the Pacific we find that the Same insatiate and aggressive dic- . tator who has made a shambles of Europe, has now joined in alliance with Japan—an alliance that seems ~to be aimed at the United States. We may perhaps take comfort in the fact that Japan is very far away, We may perhaps also take comfort in the recent intimation by . the Japanese foreign minister that . the new alliance is not really aimed . at us. We deeply hope that he is . - right. . "Nevertheless, in the light of the record, we must view that alliance , With profound misgivings. We cannot afford to assume that it is . meaningless. We must be on our 2 guard. .., . . . The Administration in Wash- : ington has been active in foreign : affairs. It has been active, so it - tells us, in promoting the cause of peace, and it has been extremely successful in persuading the Ameri- ® can people of the wisdom of its foreign policy. There are some persons in America today who admit frankly that + this Administration has failed in its : most elementary duties at home. They admit frankly that the New * Deal has demoralized American industry, created widespread unemployment, and brought America to the verge of bankruptcy.

QUOTES CHURCHILL

And yet these same persons tell us .that this Administration has been so ‘wise and so effective in its foreign policy that it ought to be re-elected sfor a third term. © I am in agreement with many of ‘the basic international objectives of this Administration at the present ifime. ... * But I wish to make it plain to:night that I do not think the New Deal has been either wise or effecsitive in foreign affairs. I do not believe that it has contributed to ‘peace. I believe it has contributed to war. . . In order ‘to define what I believe +.to be the proper role of America, ‘the proper function of America, I ‘am going to quote passages at con“siderable length. They were written -about America by a European states‘man—the most courageous, and I -believe the most farsighted states.man in the world today. I am, rei ferring to Winston Churchill, Prime i Minister. of Great Britain. .. The first Digsegs was written in - December, 1937. * “There is one way above all oth€rs,” said Mr. Churchill, “in which the United States can aid the European democracies. Let her regain and maintain her normal prosper= ity. A prosperous United States,” he says, ‘exerts an immense beneficent force upon world affairs. A United States thrown into financial and economic. collapse spreads evil far and wide, and weakens France and England just at the time when they would most need to be strong. “The Washington Administration”—I am still quoting Winston Churchill—‘has waged so ruthless a war on private enterprise that the United States .,. . is actually . . leading the world back into the trough of depression. .. The effect has been to range the executive of the United States against all the great wealth producing agencies of the capitalist system.-,

GIVES VIEWS YEAR LATER

«+ « This is what Winston Churchill said just after the New seal had wrecked the recovery that had started here in America in 1937: “Even in time of peace,” he said, “even in time of peace the economic and financial policy of the United States may exercise an appreciable check upon the war preparations of potential aggressors.” That is what Winston Churchill

Wendell Willkie waves to the huge St. Louis crowd as he leads a parade of 100 automobiles amid a shower of ticker tape and confetti.

St. Louis gave Mr. Willkie what observers rated the biggest demonstra-

tion of the campaign, and perhaps the largest ever seen in the city—comparable to the reception to Col. Charles A. Lindbergh and the return of the St. Louis Cardinals with the baseball championship in 1926.

tration do? Let us listen to Mr. Churchill, writing a year later, in 1938. “Economic and financial disorder in the United States,” Mr. Churchill wrote, “not only- depresses all sister countries, but weakens them in these very forces which might either mitigate the hatreds of races or provide the means to resist tyranny. The first service which

|the United States can render to

world causes is to be prosperous and well armed.

“The warfare between big business and the Administration continues at a grievous pitch. These great forces do not seem to realize how much they are dependent upon one another. The President continues blithely now to disturb, now to console, business and high finance. cold, and confidence does not return. “Immense use is made of the national borrowing power for relieving unemployment which would largely cure itself, if even for a single year the normal conditions of confidence were restored.” "This is Winston Churchill talking, not Wendell Willkie. . . . That was what America looked like in 1938 to a statesman -heyond our shores. . . .

DEFINES U. S. ROLE

The role of the United States among the nations is not the settlement of boundary disputes or racial disputes. It is not the maintenance of a balance of power in Europe. The role of the United States— the peace-time role—is something far more congenial to our people. It is to create purchasing power and to raise the standard of living, first for ourselves, and as a result, for others. That is the aim. When we fail in that aim we weaken the democratic world. During the past several years, since Winston Churchill penned those penetrating words, we have failed utterly to achieve that] aim. And we have seen a great part of the democratic world collapse. . . . What do we find standing between our free institutions, which we cherish, and the barbaric philosophy of slavery to the state? We find Great Britain. We find the heroic British people. As we stand here looking out to the east and to the west we find the British people living on the rim of our freedom. . . What is the role ‘that we should play? ‘What is the role to which the New Deal says it is so indispensable? . .., peditionary force. . . such force And even if we had the

Remember? 'Of Course,’ Says Willkie to Two War Buddies

By CHARLES T. LUCEY Times Special Writer ABOARD WILLKIE TRAIN, Oct. 18.—Hesitantly the bulky coal miner and the lean farmer edged through the thousands who had come out of | the Illinois-Missouri corn “country. to see this man who was running for President.

Twenty-two years before, as mempers of Battery F of the 325th Field Artillery, they had sloshed through French mud with a young lieutenant named Willkie, . A bit bashfully, in their finest suits and their shining, box-toed shoes

they moved through the private car| : to where the big man stood, ready | :

to go to the paltform for a speech. Twenty-two years was a long time, they were middle-aged men now, their faces lined. With all their hearts, obviously, they hoped he would remember—but would he? They were close to him now, and the eyes that had looked out at

millions of faces in the last few ‘weeks fell on them. For a moment the big man was taken by surprise. Then he grinned. “Why, hello, Moore!” he said as he held out his hand. “Say, I'm happy to see you.*® Of course I remember you. And you too, Hutchcraft. You boys look natural, and you look good.” The farmer, Elbert Hutcheraft, and the miner, Paul Moore, beamed. Wendell Willkie, the small-town Indiana boy, never is completely subjugated to the Presidential candidate. And that, as Mr. Willkie knows, makes votes. :

- PRODUCTION CALLED KEY

Buf when we have reached that resolution we uncover a terrible fact . . . We have not got these things to send to Britain. We haven't even got them ourselves. And , . . here is the worst fact of all. We are not even making these things. We are not making them in any quantity. .. . It is because, for the past five years, this Administration . . which could not help knowing what was happening in the world, failed . to grasp the real function of America in a war-torn world.

. . . that the key to war, as well as the key to peace, is American production. .. . Our agencies of production were abused, attacked, smothered under a wave of political propaganda. Our Navy was not built up. Our Army was not modernized.-, have only a few military planes. As a result we haven't even the capacity to make those things, and as a further result, everything we send to Britain is a sacrifice to our own defense. We must make the awful choice as to whether to sup-

We cannot supply either one adequately, much less both. I have said before that I favor aiding Britain at some sacrifice to our own defense program. But I want to point out here that it is a sacrifice, and that it is the New Deal’s fault. And worse—much worse—our entire Psi system is demoralized. Do You seriously believe that this Administration is capable. of meeting this crisis, which it has so largely brought upon itselg? . ..
