Democratic members of City Council intend to put the fire truck purchase across tonight, despite expected opposition from Republican

The purchase of two aerial ladder

political issue when rumors of a “payoff” blocked its acceptance. . Although the originator of the rumors declined to appear before Council and the Safety Board to substaniate them, Republicans nevertheless demanded that new bids be taken for the apparatus. Democrats protested, asserting the city can ill afford to postpone acquisition of the equipment much longer.

British Empire is bound to win this war, if only because it will have the full, short-of-war, support of the United States. And this being ‘the case, it was hoped that the Vichy crowd would somewhat modify their policy and seek to limit rather than to.increase their co-operation with the Gerrnarn | conquerors. To ‘date, exactly the opposite is taking place. Naturally, this is not the tune sung in this country by the emissaries of the Petain government, official cr unofficial. From the beginning, these people have tried to give an impression of the Vichy crowd which certainly does not correspond ‘with that acquired by this writer | during many years in France, extending through the French capitulation at Bordeaux.

The first is that the members of the .Vichy. Government do not yet believe in a British victory and they are no men to back a loser. [Admiral Leahy is doing his best, but the French remain politely skeptical. For they are well informed a5 to exactly. what is going on in the United States—and what is still not going on.

Don’t Desire It

Another reason is that the French cannot desire a British victory. For the present French rulers are antidemocrats. Marshal Petain, in the more human French way, is as much a -dictator as Benito Mussolini. A final reason why the present French rulers cannot desire a British victory is that the admirals and enerals and superior officers bear the major responsibility for the French defeat, and the entire responsibility for seeking an armistice rather than a further struggle. If France prepared wrongly or in-

of the generals, notably Petain and Maxime Weygand (now head of North African forces). They could have _instilled the offensive spirit into the army. They could have instilled anti-Fascist fervor into the French reserve officers. And they could have held the beaten French armies more together and, when defense in France became useless, have gone to North Africa and carried on.

Is It Surprising?

They did none of these things, because they were incompetent and because they were Fascist-minded. Therefore, France is where it is today. But the mass of Frenchmen, after being stunned, are today not unaware of where the responsibility for their misfortune chiefly lies. A British victory would put them in a position to hold the culprits responsible. Is it surprising that the French generals and admirals do not desire such a victory?

WILLKIE GAINS IN POPULARITY

60% in Poll Say He Would Have Made Good President.

By DR. GEORGE GALLUP Director, American Institute of Public Opinion PRINCETON, N. J.,, March 3.— Within four month of his defeat for the Presidency of the United States, Wendell Willkie has probably achieved a widér degree of popularity with the rank-and-file of American voters than he did at any time during the late campaign. That

fact—which goes a long way toward answering the political question’ as to Fi whether Mr, Willkie’s activities for aid-to-Britain have helped him with the public — is indicated today in a nation-wide Suey by the 2 3 American InstiWite of Publi; Pr Gallup Opinion Mr, Willkie has lost popularity with some sections of his own party. In the Institute survey approximately one person in every four who voted for him last November says he is disappointed with Mr. Willkie now. Some Republicans go farther and say he would not have made a good President. But whatever strength the GOP candidate has lost with some of his own supporters, he has apparently made up in the good will of many of those who voted against him. The Institute’s survey, which was begun ‘immediately after Mr. Willkie’s return from England, asked voters whether their opinions of Mr. Willkie had changed since the election or not. Those who said they had changed their views were asked: “Do you like him better or not so well as then?” From the nation as a whole, including some who did not vote last November or who voted for thirdparty candidates, the replies came:

Like Willkie Better........ 22% Like him less............. . 14 Haven't changed opinion.. 64

But some Republicans—as well as a substantial number of Democrats —said Mr. Willkie had grown in their ‘estimation since the election. The vote on the question by political parties is: Willkie Roosevel: Voters in Voters in 1940 1940

7 Haven’t changed opinion 62 62

Since Mr. Willkie received only 45 per cent of the total vote cast for President, the Institute survey inquired: “Do . you think Wendell Willkie would have made a good President if he had been elected last November?” Fifteen per cent of his own November supporters said “no.” But 39 per cent of President Roosevelt's supporters said in effect “yes — Willkie would have been all right, if it had turned out that way.” The total answers from persons with definite opinions in both parties are:

Willkie would have made good President .

power to impose effective restric tions against warlike acts and ace tual steps in war, despite assertions by sponsors of the measure that such restrictions would be meaningless because of the President's pow= ers as commander-in-chief of the Army and Navy.

“Stop—We’re Not at War” !

On this second point, ‘Senator Wheeler propounded legal argu-. mehts that will be used this weeld in favor of various amendments, including those directed against U. S, naval convoys for our own or Brit ish ships and against sending Amer ican troops abroad. “In recent days,” he told the Sen ate, “our land has resounded with the frenzied voices of propagane dists shouting that we are already at war. In the name of our fore fathers and in the name of the American people, I say to them: Stop—that’s not true—we’re not at war. “The American people have shown in no uncertain terms that they. refuse to be at war. And if this Congress but retains its calm and reason, heeds the will of the Ameri~ can people, and steadfastly refuses to surrender its power under the Constitution, please God, we shall not go to war.

Claims Power Is Limited !

“Why are such statements made? Is it to make the people resigned to a fate which the war-shouters plan and foresee for them? Or is if. to seek to justify, in the minds of the electorate, enormous grants of power to the Commander-in-Chief, grants which can only be justified, if ever, on the theory that we are already in the-crucial stages of a war.” In reply to Administration argue ments that Congressional restrice tions on convoys and on sending troops abroad would be futile be< cause of the President’s powers as Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy, Senator Wheeler pointed out that Congress itself has the power to declare war. In this power, he said, resides also the power to restrict the Executive from acts which would provoke war, Senator Wheeler cited a decision of the Supreme Court, delivered by Justice George Sutherland, saying: “The war powers vested in Cone gress and the war powers vested in the President, by virtue of his ofe fice as Commander-in-Chief, are distinct. Generally speaking, the war powers of the President under the Constitution are simply those which belong to any commander in-chief -of the military forces of a nation at war. “The Constitution confers no war

powers upon the President as such.”
