By DANIEL M. KIDNEY Times Staff Writer WASHINGTON, Nov. 8.—Senator Raymond E. Willis (R. Ind.) today proposed ‘that the United States Government “explore the possibilities of a peace with Hitler.” Senator Willis, who was joined by his Democratic colleague, Senator Van Nuys in opposing Neutrality Act amendments, said: “| “This war should not go on until every nation is crushed,” Senator Willis said. “Peace will have to be negotiated some time and I think we should explore the pessibilitieg of ‘Hitlers’ terms now.

the whole ‘Nazi regime. For despite Willkie’ s almost outdoing the President in his promises to work for Britain’ s

victory, the Nazis ardently wished the Republican can- |

Because Roosevelt is one of the few. real leaders produced by the |

democracies since the war (ook at: France; look at Britain until Churchill took over!) and because he can be tough, “Hitler has always had a healthy respect for him and even a certain fear. '( He admires | Stalin for his: toughness.) Part of Hitler's success has. been due to |

the luck of having mediocre men like Daladier and Chamberlain in
