TRUMAN FOR USE
OF WAR PLANTS
FOR PROSPERITY
With Truman En Route to
Butte, Mont., Oct. 20 (U.R)
Sen. Harry S. Truman, Demo
cratic vice presidential nominee,
carried his campaign into Mon
tana today after attacking pro
posals for dismantling govern
ment war plants valued at $20,
000,000,000 and urging their use
to promote prosperity after the
war.
Truman sidetracks his special
car tonight at Butte, where he
rwill deliver a 15-minute radio
address over a state hookup be
fore moving into South Dakota.
He left Seattle last night after
another radio address pointed at
the northwest and its concern
over reconversion problems.
Not ByGovernment
"The Democratic administra
tion believes that we should go
forward and utilize to the best
advantage the fine plants and
facilities built to win the war,"
EL jj 6.00-16 Ei
Jap "Co-Prosperity" Brought
Inflation, Graft To Islands
By United Press
Tokyo newspapers called for
Increased production of aircraft
and other war materials today
and warned that "decisive bat
tles" were developing In the
Philippines.
Editorials In three leading
newspapers stressed that the
United States was moving for
a new, and perhaps greater,
thrust at the heart of Japan, ac
cording to a Domei news agency
broadcast recorded by the feder
al communications commission.
Domei introduced its broad
cast of the editorial digest by
asserting that tbe Pacific war
"was entering the decisive
stage."
Jitters Indicated
Although . the Japanese . press
still was restricting its report
of Philippine developments to
yesterday's imperial headquar
ters communique announcing
merely that an American fleet
had entered Leyte Gulf and
opened a bombardment of coast
al areas, the editorials indicated
the Japanese were becoming jit
tery. The Japanese propaganda
on the invasion of the Philip
pintes took the line that Presi
dent Roosevelt ordered the op
eration so the "defeat" of the
United States 3rd fleet off For
mosa would not embarrass his
re-election campaign.
The Yomiudi Hochl Shimbun
"predicted" that the "Philip
pines has become a battleground
for decisive battles between the
United States and Japan,"
Domei said, while the Asahl
Shimbun "declared that the en
emy's much-vaunted 58th task
force has been dealt a crushing
blow by our forces but the en
emy by no means abandoned
his strategy for the reinvasion
of the Philippines with Gen.
Douglas MacArthur's forces as
a mainstay."
Plane Loss Worries
An earlier Domei broadcast,
also reported by the FCC, indi
cated,, however, that while the
Japanese were gloating over the
alleged victory off Formosa, the
loss of Japanese aircraft in the
engagement was causing some
alarm.
Domei said the youth organi
zation of the Imperial Rule As
sistance Political society, inner
wing of Japan's mass Totalitar
ian party, planned to launch a
campaign on Nov. 8 for 500 ex-
tra planes "to make up for the
300 lost in the battle of Taiwan
' (Formosa.)"
he told a Democratic rally in the
Seattle Civic auditorium. "By
this I do not mean government
operation of such plants.
"But I do mean that the gov
ernment must have a vigorous,
well conceived and well directed
effort to encourage private busi
ness to utilize these plants. I
mean a government that will
place the operation of these
plants and the welfare of the
millions of workers above the
selfish interests of those who
fear competition."
Truman said that the facili
ties built for war production
"will form the nucleus of a great
prosperity for the entire nation
if we have the courage and the
vision to see to it that they are
kept in operation."
Must Not Lie Idle
"If they are dismantled or al
lowed to lie idle, the injury will
be beyond calculation," he said.
Continuing to emphasize his
assertion that experienced lea
dership was necessary to win
the war and the peace, he said
the war could be won quickly
"with the, right kind df leader
ship the kind we have now
but that "with the wrong kind
of leadership it could take years
longer.
Truman reached Seattle, last
night after stumping the route
from Portland, Ore.
