Mr. Haynes dilates on how he

also been virtually assured of

he wins his margin of victory
will be greater than this, we'll
wager right now. And whoever
wins, we suspicion, will see us
go right on working for a living
or drawing our social security
money, and our typo pension and

The Oregonian Is Mistaken
Tha way ha been cleared by Mr. Wlllkla for on of

on fundamental issues. And Mr. Roosevelt will not avoid
that challenge by busily signing papers and arranging new
conferences." Portland Oregonian.
o
H yes he will !
Unless the New Deal
changed, President Roosevelt WILL do just that
avoid the "challenge" by busily signing papers, ar
ranrrinz new conferences, and last but not least in
specting, as the duties of "Commander-in-Chief" and
chief magistrate demand, tne aeienses oi mis

What answers are made to Mr. Willkie will be
made by members of the brass-knuckle squad, headed
by the sharp-tongued and belligerent ex-Republican,

This meeting was attended by a member of the
Roosevelt family (not the President), by a prominent
momKor of thf President's cabinet, and bv one of the
smartest professional politicians in the country.

UT if the unexpected
"trentleman from Indiana" SHOULD grab the
nomination; then something would have to be done
about it.
Here was a candidate
a Dunch in both hands who
tion of the American people, as no presidential candi
date had since T. R., and to beat him, the administra
tion would have to shoot the works.
But even then, everyone
should not conduct any political campaign in the gen
erally accepted sense. Above all, he should not en
gage in any verbal duel, or rough and tumble "give
and take" along the lines of Bob Jackson's unfortu
nate attempt
That would be beneath the dignity or a great oi
fice and a "three-term" president 1
Even more important, it would be playing directly
into the hands of this "amateur political champion of
the United States," who as an oratorical counter
puncher had proved he is in a class by himself.
"Don't fall into that trap, which If Willkie Is nominated,
will be Immediately set. There would be everything to lose
and nothing to gain. The President's prestige Is unim
paired, the power of his office tremendous.' Every citizen
of the country, is worried about war and concerned with
national defense, let the President stick to that all important
task, and let others do the talking. Then no matter what the
opposition does, we will win in a walk."
That was the gist of the professional politician's
advice, as given to this department the day after this
meeting, and we have had
sential accuracy of it.
AND it's smart politics.

Unless something entirely unexpected occirs to
upset the situation it will be the line taken from now
until November 5th.
So don't get your hopes up, P. 0. There is to be no
stirring, nation-wide debate on fundamental issues,
as far as Franklin Delano Roosevelt is concerned!
With a verbal counter-puncher and straight-from-the-shoulder
shooter like Wendell Willkie that, from the
New Deal standpoint, would be too much DYNA

maintains it shows Mr. Willkie will win by 77
electoral votes, 304 to 227.
Mr. Roosevelt will have his solid south, of course,
but the Republican candidate will win New York,
Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, etc.,
etc.
Now that's just dandy of course.
And strongly feeling a third term for F.D.R.
would, in some ways, be calamitous, we hope our
contemporary is right.
But we also hope neither our contemporary nor
I any other will place any great faith in this or any
other pre-election polls this year. We grant Gallup is
I far ahead of the notorious Literary Digest in relia
ibility, but no poll in this election is going to be worth
much.
Too many things can happen between the poll and
I November 5th. Moreover, in the present delicate state
of affairs, one little slip on either side, or one unex
pected development in Europe might transform the
picture overnight
We grant this poll is heartening, and we don't
question it shows a decided trend, but we trust no
one puts too much reliance in it at the present time.
And above all we hope no Willkie supporter accepts it
as a substUite for t-teinal vigilance, ceasele.s energy

and when external piles become
inflamed they are much more

Internal piles are readily ob

and the skilled physician can
treat most patients successfully
in this way without even local
anesthesia and without giving
the patient enough discomfort
to complain about. External
piles cannot be so treated. Local
anesthesia is necessary as a pre

injection the hemorrhoidal les

thrombosed (clotted) the clot

ATTACK Of PILES
when the patient la not aware
of the presence of piles or has

"Lumbii o," "sciatica" and
"bladder trouble" may be of
this nature. Moreover a good
deal of functional disturbance
of the reproductive organs in
women and In men is actually
a reflex manifestation of piles
or other rectal Irritation which
could be readily corrected if
only a proper examination and
the right treatment were given
One physician outstanding in
the field has recently reported
a large series of cases of peptic
ulcer in which diagnosis and
treatment of "blind" piles has
proved curative, so far aa the
stomach symptoms were eon
cerned.
Among the conditions which
victims of limited intelligence
too often assume to be "piles
and which even quacks (doctors
who fail to make a proper ex
amination) so maltreat are fis,
sure, fistula, stricture, benign
tumor, foreign body lodged in
rectum, pinworm Infestation,
pruritus and even cancer. The
possibility of cancer of the rec
tum, while remote, nevertheless
must be recognized, and so it
behooves anyone past 40 to
have a proper medical examin
ation if troubled with repeated
slight bleeding or other vague
rectal symptoms purporting to
be due to "piles.

llILLKIE S acceptance speech
' was a great speech. If you
didn't hear it on the radio, or
haven't yet read it in full.
do so.
It is the first political utter
ance this writer has ever heard
that set his blood to pounding
and gave him the urge to say
with utter conviction: "Come
what may, I'm on your side."
WHAT made Willkie'a speech
great. In thii writer's opin
ion, was the note of sincere
belief that sounded through it
from beginning to end.
He wasn't Just spreading fly
paper to catch flies. He wasn't
Just beating the political tom
toms. He was outlining what
he himself believes must be
done in an hour of national
peril.
He was speaking as Lincoln
must have spoken in the critical
campaign of 1860.
IT was no political hack who
cnnkA these words on Sat
urday:
'I accent the nomination in
the spirit in which I know it
was given at our convention in
Philadelphia the spirit of ded
ication. I herewith dedicate my
self with all my heart, with all
my mind, with all my soul to
making this nation strong." (He
meant economically and social
ly, as well as militarily, strong).
"But I say this too: In the
pursuit of that goal, I shall not
lead vou down the easy road.
If I am chosen the leader of this
democracy as I am now of the
Renublican Dartv. I shall lead
1 you down the road of sacrifice
and of service to our country.-
TO those who believe in W ill
icit tn whom his acceptance
speech was but the putting into
words of their own thoughts,
let that be the keynote. Let
them say witn Winston tnurcn
III. when he took over the hard
est Job any Englishman has ever
undertaken: "We have nothing
to offer you but blood, ton.
tears and sweat."
tn this critical vcar. the Re
publican party and its leader
have no molasses to spread to
catch flies: their only appeal is
to those who are willing to toil.
sweat and sacrifice to save a
nation from the demagogues
who oreach the easy doctrine
of something for nothing.
Those who accept this cnai-
lenee must in Willkie's words
be "hard of muscle, clear of
head, brave of heart.
IF you volunteer for this serv
ic von must know that you
may be embracing a lost cause.
Willkie starts with the nana
ican of the politically frozen
south and the further handicap
of capitalized class hatred and
suspicion. These are heavy hand
icaps. They can be overcome
only by hard work and fierce
lovalty to the ideal Willkie up
holds.
If vou elect to fight under
his banner, you must know that
vnur onlv reward is to be the
knowledge of service loyally
given, of labor well done.
IF such a battle, against odds,
appeals to you, this writer,
as one soldier In the ranks, Is
ready to say to you:
"Come over into our camp."

DIES SAYS MANY
AXIS SPIES BUSY
IN BAYDISIRICT
Names of Seven Italian and
20 German Agents Re
vealed at Hearing.
San Francisco, Aug. 20. '.P
Congressman Martin Dies said
today he had evidence that both
Germany and Italy maintain ac
tive espionage organizations in
San Francisco.
"I have the names of seven
known Italian spies in San Fran
cisco and the names of 20 of the
leaders of the German espion
age organization here." he said
after taking testimony from half
a dozen witnesses at a secret
hearing. Names of the witnesses
were not made public.
Dies, chairman of the congres
sional committee on un-American
activities, also said he had
been told that three maritime
unions operating on the San
Francisco waterfront and on
vessels plying out of this port
were controlled by communists.
He named these as the Inter
national Longshoremen's and
Warehousemen's union, the
American Radio Telegraphists
association and the Marine
Cooks and Stewards.
While the rank and file of
these unions were not commun
ists, Dies said, they nevertheless
were run by communist leaders.
Dies declared that gaining
control of such unions was in
keeping with communist policy,
the plan being to prevent the
United States from preparing
its national defense and, if war
should come, to have men in
positions where they might en
gage in espionage and sabotage.
While the investigation was
in progress here, several movie
actors were taking steps to re
pudiate charges made before the
Los Angeles county grand jury
that they were communist sym
pathizers. Jimmy Cagney, who liae flat
ly denied communist member
ship or sympathy with the Red
movement, was flying here from
the east to discuss with Dies the
statements to the grand Jury of
John L. Leech, former Los An
geles county communist organ
izer, that Cagney was a com
munist sympathizer.
Communications
Disappointed in Report
of Speech
To the editor:
I am greatly disappointed in
the Mail Tribune's handling of
Ambassador Bullitt's fine speech
delivered over the radio from
Philadelphia last Sunday. You
print no words from the speech
itself but give over a prominent
spot on your front page to the
report of criticisms of his
speech. Is this unbiased presen
tation of the news?
Your article quotes Senator
Clark of Idaho as telling the
senate Bullitt's address was
"very, very little short of
treason." Ambassador Bullitt
answered such critics in advance
when he said (attention. Col.
Lindbergh): "The men and wo
men who tell you that the dic
tators will not attack the west
ern hemisphere may be honest,
wishful thinkers or they may
be agents of the dictators; but
in either case, by lulling you
into a false feeling of security
and retarding your preparations
for defense, they are keeping
the way clear for an assault on
America by the dictators. They
are enemies, consciously or un
consciously, of our country and
our liberties."
If England Is defeated, we
will soon know who has been
i nearer treachery, the Bullitts
and Pershings or the Lindberghs
and Clarks. Bullitt said. "I have
seen the French republic de
stroyed. I know of my own
knowledge what blows were
struck, what devices of intrigue
and treachery and force were
employed." While not agreeing
in every particular with Bul
litt's address, I, for one, am
convinced now that nis words
may be ignored by Americans
only at great peril.
Rpgarding the time element,
Bullitt said, "I believe that un
less we act now, decisively, to
I meet the threat we shall be
I too late. The dictators are con-
vinced that all democracies will!
! always be too late. You remem '
I ber Hitler's statement: 'Each i
country will Imagine that it i
alone will escape. I shall not 1
even need to destroy them one:
I by one. Selfishness and lack of i
foresight will prevent each one I
i fighting until it is too late'." j

THE
CAPITAL
PARADE
By JOSEPH ALSOP and
ROBERT KINTNER
(Continued from Page One.)
"T'HIS fantastic incident seemed
likely, for a moment to
cause the looting of Paris. News
of the shooting of his friend was
immediately carried back to Hit
ler who was waiting with the)
main body of his army. His im
mediate reaction was a violent
outburst of rage, in which ha
complained bitterly that Bullit's
promise that Paris could ba
peaceably occupied had now
been broken, and threatened all
sorts of dire consequences. For
tunately, however, communica
tions had been opened up mean
while, between the American
embassy and the German gener
al staff. Bullitt gave assurances
that the incident of the Pantin
gate was the result of the purest
chance, rind was even able to
use it as on argument for de
laying the actual German entry
into the city until the next morn
ing. The neit morning, accordingly at
7 a.m.. the first squadron of motor
cyclist aped Into the heart of the
city and down the Champa Elyseea.
Four Oerman planes, which had evi
dently been practicing the Incredible
feat for acme time, actually landed
In the Place De La Concorde. The
occupation was a vast and over
whelming military parade, with no
one to witness it except the police
and the very poor the little people
who had been forced to atay behind
becauee they had nowhere else to go.
When the occupation was accom
plished, the German general In com
mand of Pans immediately called on
Bullitt. Bullitt obtained from hlra
promises to protect the other embas
lea and legations which had been
left In his charge, transferred to hlra
control over the police, and got his
help in bringing foodstuffs Into the
city. It was two weeks, however, be
fore Bullltta aupervtelon of Paris
came wholly to an end. During thee
week.. members of Bullitt's staff
maintained a continuous watch,
touring the city all day bv automo
bile, and reporting problems needing
handling to Bullitt in the evening.
Whenever necessary, aa when the
even bureau chiefs of the Paris po
lice were suddenly Jailed. Bullitt was
able to Intervene with the Oerman
general and to get troubles straight
ened out. Meanwhile, five thousand
people dally were pouring through
the embassy, pleading for help la
