{Continued from Page One) now in Spain. Officially this has been described as a pleasure
trip on which he is meeting his counterparts in the Spanish ternal police set-up. However, it is recalled that vists by
Himmler to foreign countries often are followed by state
excursions of high Nazi dignitaries.
Spain’s reluctance to move farther into the war has . a been attributed to the country’s exhaustion from her bitter|.
civil war and her dependence upon British goodwill to let sufficient food through the Continental blockade to keep the country from starvation. The nature of Laval's Paris meeting with German authorities was not made clear. Zurich was advised that they concerned “prolongation of the armistice.” Since the armistice between Germany and France runs indefinitely, that phrase might be a euphemisn to describe discussions in which one party to the armistice sought to end it and make a permanent peace. Such a desire on the part of Germany frequently has been suggested. British Launch Diplomatic Offensive’ Laval is known to have spent several days last week in Paris. Sunday, according to German reports, he returned to Vichy to consult with Marshal Henri Philippe Petain and yesterday he went to Paris to talk again with the Germans. As prospects for action at the western end of the Mediterranean picked up, the British appeared to be launching a diplomatic offensive of their own in the Balkans. British Balkan diplomats conferred extensively in Istanbul with Ambassador to Turkey Sir Hughe Knatchbull Hugesson. British War Secretary Anthony Eden is in the Near East on what apparently is important business and may wind up at Ankara to talk with the Turks. Despite this whirlwind of British diplomatic effort, Balkan capitals saw little prospect that the British could undo the work of the Axis in bringing most of that region under the sway of Germany and Italy. HER Ancient London Temple Wrecked ¥ 'As the war in the air continued its destructive course, London revealed that the ancient Temple, repository of 600 vears of English tradition and hallowed by such names as Shakespeare, Goldsmith, Samuel Johnson, Blackstone, Thackeray and Charles Lamb was now a pile of pinkish brick and rubble—one more on the list of historic places damaged by the German air offensive. The British reported that their bombers in a sweeping attack on Germany and German-held territory dropped high explosive bombs on warships under Blohm' Voss shipbuilding yards in Hamburg. It was claimed fires were started in the yards and surrounding naval docks. The German press reported that the British bombers wrecked “a large number” of apartment houses in the Hamburg raid and caused injuries to 14 civilians. Another lightning attack was reported on oil refineries at Reisholz near Dusseldorf where bombs were said to have been dropped on the main railroad line to the southwest. Fourteen separate fires were reported in this area. British naval guns blasted for the third straight day at German bases on the French Coast while fighter squadrons, including newly delivered American planes, drove off raiders from the London area. In the Far East the Chinese claimed to have taken the offensive against the Japanese on an intermittent front of 1500 miles. : Mexico was reported to be planning to sell scrap iron to the Allied Purchasing Commission in the United States and to refuse to sell any to the totalitarian powers. London sources claimed that Italian forces which a month ago invaded Egypt and failed to advance since beyond Sidi Barrani, only. 75 miles from the Libyan frontier, have encountered serious difficulties.

Whether the indictment against him still was valid remained a question. ; The Rev. Keith C.

delicate problem of violating Greek neutrality becomes involved. Germany has established a precedent for the British by forcibly invading Norway, Denmark, Holland, and Belgium on the ground that they were only anticipatory moves to check Franco-British plans to do| the same. |

Too, Germany has proclaimed a total war, which means any move is legit- | imate that is an aid to victory.
Consent of the Greeks to British occupation of the islands would invite an Axis invasion as a retaliatory measure, but it would seem that as the war spreads in southeastern Europe, Greece must become involved anyway sooner or later. Nevertheless, the Greeks might hold back, hoping against hope for nentrality to the end. In that event the way the European conflict is being waged by the Axis powers would seem to indicate that self-preservation must take precedence over all other considerations. The judgment of the British high command concerning the decisive value of the Aegean bases thus should determine the issue, according to the standards fixed by the present course of the
Willkie Picks Up Support To Check Roosevelt Trend
By DR. GEORGE H. GALLUP Director of Institute of Public Opinion PRINCETON, N. J, Oct. 22.—The early October rise in the strength of Wendell L. Willkie—reported in Gallup Poll findings in The Indianapolis Times—deals another devastating blow at one of the oldest notions in American politics, the so-called “bandwagon” theory. According to this notion, once a certain candidate is believed to be ahead there is a “bandwagon rush” by wobblers and undecided voters

Warns Against Fallacy of Prosperity Built on Defense Spending. (Continued from Page One)
was plain that this new prosperity might weigh on the side of President Roosevelt's bids for a third term. The Republican nominee knows this and he. is beginning to nail down what he sees as the fallacy of this kind of industrial pickup; he is serving notice that if Mr. Roosevelt attempts to take credit for this upswing he will meet him headon. . Stop and Think, He Urges
“Stop and think,” he told thousands at Milwaukee last night, “how this new work is being created. It is being created by money spent by the Government—taken out of the pockets of the pople and added to the national debt.” Public indebtedness, not private enterprise, he said. is belching smoke out of the chimneys. National defense expansion makes business look better, but actually the country is going into debt to provide it —and the expanded industrial system will have been built on this insecure foundation, “The . kind of ‘enterprise that makes America strong,” he asserted in laying down the keystone of his |philosophy, “is private enterprise.

AUTHORIZES BOND TRADE IN SPEEDWAY
An Attorney General's opinion today partially cleared the way for fast-growing Speedway City to issue $40.000 in bonds to extend its water works system.
Atty. Gen. Samuel B. Jackson advised the Teachers’ Retirement Fund Board that it could trade the $19,000 worth of Speedway City water works honds which it now holds for bonds of the new issue if it finds the new bonds will have the same priority and security as the present bonds. The Board will decide Nov. 38. The present Speedway City bonds are non-callable and no new bonds can be issued unless all the present bond holders agree. Under a previous opinion the Board was ordered not to trade or sell bonds in its possession.This ruling, if enforced, would stop Speedway City from adding to its already heavily burdened water system.
