Washington, Nov. 4. No one
will be kicked out of the Re
publican party including Mr.
Willkie. True, some of the party
right-handers in congress are
biting their fingernails to the
ZTA elbow because
Mr. Willkie is
developing in
to a Roosevelt
war leader. A
few like Repre

sota are really
serious about divesting their
party of the Willkie war influ
ence. But the party senators on
the other side of the capitol and
party men generally are exhibit
ing no eagerness to take up the
round robin rebellion movement
started in the house.
A story is going around the
Republican cloakroom that the
original idea upon which Will
kie acted (forcing repeal of the
neutrality act) came from Sen
ator Bridges. He had the legis
lative drafting service prepare
a repealer bill for him more
than a month ago, sold it to
Senators Gurney and Austin.
But three days before these Re
publicans planned to come out
with it, Mr. Willkie grabbed
their ball and streaked down
the field. Some personal dissat
isfaction with Willkie, even on
his own side of the interven
tionist fence, has been caused
by this incident but It illus
trates as wel las anything that
Republican interventionist sen

RUSSIA CARRYING
is
TO
Lack of Diversion For Ger
mans Caused Temporary
Retreat Says Premier.
London, Nov. 8. (P) Rus
sia, fighting "a war of libera
tion alone against Germany"
and her allies, is handicapped
by lack of a second European
front, but "the assistance give
by Great Britain and the United
States is of great importance
and growing continually," Pre
mier Joseph Stalin declared to
day in an address over the Mos
cow radio.
(In Bern, Switzerland, listen
ers heard Stalin say lack of a
second front in Europe was one
cause of "the temporary re
treat" of the Soviet armies and,
in an apparent appeal to Brit
ain, "appearance of a second
front would greatly facilitate
our task.")
Losses Recited
German losses since the In
vasion of Russia last June 22
have reached 4,500,00 men,
dead, wounded and . captured,
Stalin said, and "if the Ger
mans want a war of destruc
tion, they will certainly get it."
Speaking on the eve of the
24th anniversary of -the Bolshe
vik revolution, Stalin said
slaughter and plunder were the
Hitler policy, and therefore "the
policy of the Red army is to
destroy the Germans to the very
last wan.'' "' ' '
Mentioning In passing" that
the French government had sold
out to Hitler for fear of a revo
lution, Stalin said, "Only the
Hitlerite madmen can think
they can build a new order un
der the present conditions in
Europe.
"The new order is ready to
collapse at any moment and
bury Hitler in Its ruins."
Soviet Rear Strong
Sim saiii Suv!? losses were
350,000 killed and o2S:00U
wounded or missing.
He said the Soviet rear never
had been so strong as at this
moment and that Red army
morale was Infinitely higher
than that of the German army.
The German army has been
forced to construct new bases
on unfriendly territory, where
as "our army is fighting on its
own territory," the Russian pre
mier asserted, "with our people
exerting every effort to keep It
supplied. '
It is unnecessary to add that
the blitzrieg has failed."
He declared that "another
reason for the temporary Red
army setbacks is tha shortage
of tanks.
"It cannot be said that our
tank industry is not working
well; it is working very well
for its size, but the Germans
can throw in more tanks, as
they have not only their own
factories but also the factories
of Czecho-Slovakia. France and
the countries of Europe which
they occupy.
"Our aviation Is superior In
quality; our pilots have proved
themselves. W have fewer
planes, but the quality of our
tanks and planes is superior."

May Spread Convoys
To Foil U-Boat Packs
Washington, Nov. 8. IP) The menace of German submar
ine raids in the north Atlantic raised speculation In naval circles
todav that a complete turnabout in strategy, subordinating the
use of convoys, might prove the
wolf pack technique.
The central theory in tne van-
ous methods being explored was
that mass submarine attacks
would be rendered largely Inef
fective if armed merchantmen
traveled singly instead of being
bunched in convoys.
The discussions, accompanied
two fresh developments in the
battle of the Atlantic tha an
nouncement that 17 American
civilian technicians had been
lost en route to England, and
disclosure that U-boats have
been operating close to New
foundland.
Th latest American casual
ties were men who had enlisted
in the British civilian technical
i . . -i . . ...
corps for nou-comoaiam uuij
abroad. Their loss was mac
public last night by the British
press service on behalf of the
royal air force delegation here.
The ship which carried the
technicians "is presumed to have
been sunk," the British said, and
' telegrams have been sent to
the next of kin." Name of the
ship and the approxlmatiou of
the sinking were not disclosed.
Added to other recent casual
ties in the armed services and
merchant marine, the new losses
increased to 140 the known toll
of American lives in the past
three months. -

President In Address To
Labor Delegates Says
Men Slaves Under Hitler.!
Washington, Nov. 8. (JP
President Roosevelt declared to
day that the American people
had made "an unlimited commit
ment" that there shall be a free
world, and called on all free
nations to plan for a sound social
and economic world order after
the war.
The chief executive also as
sailed a "misguided" few both
Industrialists and leader of lab
or for placing personal advant
age above the welfare of the
United States and for delaying
defense output by using their
"economic power" to force ac
ceptance of their demands rather
than using established mediation
machinery.
For Free World
Addressing 230 delegates rep
resenting 33 nations at the con
cluding session of the interna
tional labor office conference In
the east room of the White
House, the president said: -
"The American people have
made an unlimited commitment
that there shall be a free world.
Against that commitment, no In
dividual or group shall prevail."
Declaring that labor under the
nazi system had become the
"slave of the military state," and
that Berlin today waj the "prin
cipal slave market of the world,"
Mr. Roosevelt added: f
"The Americrr worker ha no
illusions about the fate that
awaits him and his free labor or
ganlzatlons If Hitler should win.
He knows that hi own liberty
and the very safety of the people
of the United States can, not be
assured in world which Is
three-fourths slave and one-
fourth free. He know that we
must furnish arm to Britain,
Russia and China and that we
must do It now today.
The president said tha place
of the whole western hemisphere
In a German scheme for world
domination had been marked on
the nazi time table, and the
choice America had to make
wa between realism "in terms
of three shifts day" to produce
necessary defense materials and
the attitude of the "blind and
deluded" who think that business
can be done with Hitler and that
American armament output Is
satisfactory.
