RAP WILLKIE'S
‘INEXPERIENCE’
Democrats Launch Final | Effort to Stem Tide In Indiana. . y NOBLE REED
-
i
In the final campaign effort to £2
stem the tide of Willkie sentiment in Indiana, Democratic leaders today launched broadside attacks against what. they termed lack ot experience in the Republican leadership. Meanwhile ,Marjon County Democrats prepared for their biggest, mass meeting of the campaign at Cadle Tabernacle tomorrow night. Paul Vv. McNutt, Federal Security Administrator, will be the principal speaker before a crowd that is expected to reach 10,000. Circuit Court Judge Earl R. Cox |will preside. Heading the Democratic barrage this ‘week, Mr. McNutt, in his first round of oratory in Indiana, declared that the “next President of the United States will have to be a man of broad exper in international affairs,” “The next President will be al-
lowed no. second | guesses—he will?
have to be right the first time,” declared Mr. McNutt, who once was an Indiana “favorite son” for the Presidency.

He spoke last night’ at Bloomington and yesterday afterrioon at Boonville, “There will be time to get experience in these proved his greatn
again. In these last incredible
months, he has invariably |'shown $
the insight and the firmness! of resolve that have characterized very few men of history. | “The Republican candidate, by contrast, is without essential experience in training for the task of his party would have him assume. He is an unknown quantity.”
‘Fine Intentions Not Enough’
Referring to " Mr. Willkie, the former Governor of Indiana said: “He may be a man of fine inten- . tions and vast good will but that is not enough. He must exhibit those qualities and that Visdom which inspires confidence so essential to nation unity, This he is failing do He accused the«Republicans of “trying to run on the Democratic program.” “Mr. Willkie "knows better than to wage open warfare on success. Fearing to challenge, he now offers to do it better. The Republicans are against action and change. Their party has stood still for a quarter of a century.”

greater is the possibility of Mussolini being checked. Greece is a mountainous country which favors defense. There are a few valleys that ‘offer somewhat narrow routes for an invading army, more especially in the eastward direction of Salonika. In the vicinity of Salonika itself the land is flat and wide, giving advantages to a defending force opposing an enemy emerging from the mountain defiles. A drive southward from the present Italian concentrations along the Albanian border would encounter more difficult barriers of rough terrain, except for narrow coastal strips along the Ionian Sea on the Greek. western border. This route is specially dangerous because it could be subjected to sea bombardment by British warships. If there is serious resistance by

superiority to the Greeks because they are on the offensive, but pres- | ent indications do not give them that superiority. Reports from Rome say 200,000 troops comprise the Italian invading strength. The Greeks may now| have over 100,000 men under arms, with the possibility of raising that number to a quarter of a million in a short time, The Italians ought to be better equipped, but the Greeks have unusually good offensive positions. British air, naval and artillery assistance, if converged - quickly renough, may keep the Italiarts confined to comparatively small areas in northern Greece, and may make Salonika untenable if the Italians succeed in pushing that far. Too, by occupying’ the Island of Corfu or other strategic points along the
force will be within 100 miles of the Italian mainland, able to conduct serious bombing offensives against Italian cities. At present, British aviators must travel more than 1200 miles for the found: trip to bomb Italy. Along the norihesstorn border of Greece, British aviators can place themselves within 250 miles of the Rumanian oil fields. Thus, they could’ stkike serious blows by night bombing against Germany's oil sources if the Germans came to the relief of the Italians in Greece, and they might do so anyway. There is a strange puzzle, as yet unexplained, associated with Italy's decision to strike at Greece at this time. Last week Hitler was conferring with Petain and Franco apparently about a united peace front, and ‘the Vichy overnment announced it was prepared to co-oper-ate with Germany for peaceful action. Yet, this week Italy has suddenly spread the war into southeastern Europe.
The Hitler negotiations with Spain and France seem to have been forgotten, at least for the time being, though Berlin had emphasized their major importance. It is possible to imagine that Mussolini considered Hitler was getting too much of th? limelight and decided to start the Greek campaign and gain the initia-
results from Vichy and Madrid. if Vichy and Madrid have been overestimated and Mussolini insisted on pushing ahead elsewhere, without fully counting the cost.

Tells N. Y. That Republicans Played Politics With U. S. Security.
(Continued from Page One)

politics witn national security. He covered a sizable chunk of northern New Jersey industrial ter-
City’s five boroughs. He saw and was seen by hundreds of thousands of persons—perhaps more than a million. And it was in a tremendous climax that he ended his day at “The Garden.” All day long he was accompanied by Governor Lehman of New York,
and the two bosses, Mayor Hague of Jersey City and Ed Flynn of the
man, And at his side as he came on the Madison Square stage before 20,000 shouting, cheering persons was James A. Farley, who said not a word.
Tonight the President leaves Washington for a political tour of the Connecticut River valley in both Connecticut and Massachusetts, to be climaxed ky the third of his six scheduled political speeches tomorrow night in Boston, where Mr. Farley is immensely popular. > The President appeared to enjoy himself fully as he laid down his Madison Square barrage against the Republican record on national defense and foreign policy. He was obviously pleased at the thunderous seven-minute demonstration he received before his audience would let him speak. During the address he smiled frequently as he drove home his points. If Mr. Roosevelt wanted crowds as reassurance in his fight for the big plurality he must get in New York City to carry the state, he got them during the day as in the Gardent at night. Rarely has he had a more tumultuous reception than he got in the Seventh Ave. garment district in the heart of Manhattan. The Bronx gave him: a welcome almost as great. But Brooklyn, Staten Island and Queens were much
| milder in their demonstrations; here
the crowds were sizable in many places but hardly unusual. An egg, a lemon and an onion were thrown at him and two unemployed sisters were arrested and then paroled. Seventeen-year-old Mary d’Arte, one of them, admitted throwing the onion, police said, but her sister Italia, 21, denied hurling any missles. Both girls set up loud demands for jobs as the President's car passed their home. Mary has been irregularly employed by the A and their father had been on WPA until recently. : As the President left his train in Newark in the morning, thousands

beings and pushed against the side of Mr. Roosevelt's car, fainted. Children, out of school for a half holiday, made the most of it. At Bayonne, members of the Ladies’ Garment Yorkers Union cheered the President on with signs proclaiming, “We don’t want Willkie or Lewis either.” When he visited the Federal Shipbuilding & Dry Dock Co., plant at Kearny, N. J., where destroyers and cruisers are being built, an overalled worker shouted: “You didn’t smuggle in John Lewis in those cars, did you? We want to talk to him!” Ferrying from Staten Island to Brooklyn, Mr. Roosevelt had a look at the speedy motor torpedo boats being built for the Navy. In Brooklyn, where he must roll up a heavy plurality to help offset pthe upstate strength of Mr. Willkie, he met a fair reception when he officiated at the groundbreaking for a new $70,000,000 Brooklyn-Manhat-tan Tunnel, but it was not until his motor caravan moved to Manhattan’s ‘Lower East Side that a big demonstration came. Before a crowd in a park named for him, Mr. Roosevelt recalled a rayer: “Fashion, God, into a happy people, the multitudes brought hither from many kindreds and tongues.” This, he told his hearers, was America. And it was this America of the East Side that gave him a really big ovation. In Seventh Ave, for block after block up to Times Square, thousands were packed from the buildings to the center of the street, leaving barely sufficient room for the President's auto caravan to pass. Confetti came down in a storm. Mr. Willkie drew a vast crowd as he traveled this street three weeks ago in a downpour, but it did not approach yesterday’s.

tion efforts for national defense. Replying to President Roosevelt's
to support his defense program, Mr. Willkie said earlier that it was the insistence of the G. O. P. that Congress remain in session during the summer that had given the nation an additional seven billion dollars for defense. “If in June, Congress had obeyed the President's behest to adjourn, the United States would still have seven billion dollars less defense ‘on order’ than it now has,” Mr. Willkie said. He said the Democrats had control of the Congress and that if the Democratic Party “had a leader who knew how to lead it, America today would not be defenseless.” The Republican Presidential nominee traveled into Ohio today for a final campaign to win that state's 26 electoral votes. He enters West Virginia for the first time in the campaign when he speaks at Huntington and tonight at Charleston.
