Ransom Money Ready In The Day's i News By mANK JENKINS PRESIDENT lloosevelt, answer- ing dictator talk In a speech In Philadelphia, says: "Nu dic tator In history Ima ever dared to run the gauntlet of a really free election," PERFECTLY true. It la alio true that up to now no American President had dared to run the gauntlet of tho anll thlrd term tradition. There haa to ba a FIRST TIME for everything. 'T'HIS writer doea not believe that Prealdent Rooaevell haa NOW any Idea whatever of be coming a dictator. Neither, for that matter, ia It probable that whan he waa first , elected he had any Idea of spend ' ing the nation Into bankruptcy. He atarted spending, hoping thin to check the dcpreaalon. Spend ing waa eaay and POPULAR. ' 80 ha drifted with the current. .. ... IJERE ia what this writer DOES believe: If, for one reason or another, the current of political events In America should continuo to run toward centralization of author ity In the hands of the President (which la tho first step toward ultimate dictatorship) Franklin D. Rooievelt will again DRIFT WITH THE DANGEROUS CUR RENT Instead of fighting ngninst It fREAT changes In government Involving the libertiea of the people seldom coma at one fell swoop. They movo forward slow ly, one inconspicuous step after another, arriving in time at a point that In the beginning was wholly unforeseen. Tha way to STOP centralisa tion of governmental authority v In tha United States In the hands ' of one man (which is the gate that leads to dictatorship) Is to UPHOLD THE ANTI-THIRD TERM TRADITION. Tne way to do'that la to vote for Wlllkle. AS these words are written " (Saturday morning) tho postoffice and three business building In Tijuana (Mexico) are burning. All marriage rec ords are believed to have been lost In tho fire. That will be tough on the American couples who have been going to Tijuana to beat the threo day waiting period re quired by California's marriage laws. pYNICAL second thought: MBybo thoso who arc so anxious to get married they can't wait three days will be ' glnd of the excuse, to consider themselves unmarried. ; BASEBALL ' AMERICAN LEAGUE I 7 R H E Cleveland 0 S 2 Detroit 8 11 0 1 Mllnar, Howell (7), and Hems ley, Pytlak (B); Rowo and Teb bctts.

Modifying of Jap Demand Fails to Bring Nego- . tiatora to Accord . HAOI, French Indo China. Sept. 21 (AP) The French Indo-Chlna government report ed a turn for the worse today In negotiations with Japan after there had been indications the crisis had passed.

The negotiations were re sumed yesterday, the announce ment aaid, "when the view point of both partlea appeared drawing closer together." But new Japanese demands, It de clared, have put a monkey wrench In the proceedings. Earlier the French colonial government announced the Jap anese had "modified the range" of demands which caused the collapso of negotiations yester day In the wake of a 72-hour ultimatum submitted by Japan. (Highly connected Japanese quarters In Hongkong said Jap an was ready for action aimed at tho sclzuro of the entire French colony should the re quest for passage of an unlimit ed number of Japanese troops bo denied. These sources said Rear Admiral Jean DcCoux, governor general of Indo-Chlna, was insisting on rcstrictln the number of troops passing through the colony.)

McNary, In his first major campaign : address,- charged today that' the new deal found "agriculture ill of a functional disorder" - and "made the disorder chronic." The Oregon senator and repub lican nominee for vice president spoke to a party rally in Exposi tion park on the outskirts of Aurorr and to a national radio (CBS)-audience. , ' . Announcing that he was speak ing as a farmer who worked since childhood on the land his grand father homesteaded , almost a century ago, McNary declared that the farmer had been frozen into a dependence on the gov. ernment, and added: Farm Income "Tha new. deal, It is true, has kept the farm population off the breadlines. That is not my idea of success. In' the seven .new deal years, average farm income per farm has been only $1124 including benefit payments; in the seven preceding years, it was $1432. "In Its futile attempt to crease prices by withholding rmm from the market, the new rtoni nnw has on hand in govern- ment ownership and control 10 million bales of cotton, 500 mil lion bushels of corn and 100 mil lion bushels of wheat. I do not regard that as successful, espec ially as farm commodity prices on August 1,' 1940, were in ap proximately the, same range as on August 1, 1933. - Not Solved "Actually, the basic farm prob lem is no nearer solution today than it was on March 4, 1933. The new deal has reached none of its fundamental objectives. Its farm program is a thing of shreds and patches; settling nothing; merely putting off the day of reckoning." y McNary said the new deal was satisfied with its farm program and saw the aggregate improve ment it had accomplished for the farmer a maximum aim. He said he saw it as a "minimum" and continued: "I accept that program only as a stopgap substitute for some thing better until something bet ter can be provided. And I as sert, in full confidence, that the next administration will be able to provide something better. ... "The next administration will not begin, as did the new deal, with the notion that American economy Is winding up; that it is in its dotage. . . . The republi can party and the next admin istration take direct issue with the concept of a shrinking econ omy. We propose to create great er abundance; not to strive for scarcity and devote our chief en ergy to planning how to dis tribute that scarcity. Italians Stag? Mass Ail! Eaid on Supplies at Egyptian Post , By The Associated Press LONDON, Sept 21 Official sources disclosed tonight that " royal air force bombers in three) great waves had dumped tons of bombs on German "invasion, fleets" of ships ar.4 barges, ly ing in clusters 50 strong in the French harbor of Dunker que, and had left a ribbon of fire In other ports all along thai German-held channel coast. In attacks that began early last night and were not fin ished until almost dawn, that ' RAF night raiders punished tha approach channel, basins and canals at Dunkerque with salvo after salvo of explosives. , Gasoline Bombed Other bombers drummed methodically at the coast from Flushing, The Netherlands, to French Boulogne, while long range raiders struck into' Ger many. The ; government declared that the British raids, night , after night, already had eiK cdmpa&eoT "befween 80 and 90 per cent of all Germany's gas , oline plants. , - ' By Tha Associated Press Nazi ajr raiders, opening their third week of mass attacks on the British capital, swarmed across the English channel in mist and .rain today, but re ports from Britain Indicated they, met, with little success. -. London had one brief alarm, as -a formation . of German planes swept over the city.-Anti-aircraft guns opened up and the planes retired. Along the Kentish coast, reports said, British ground guns turned the raiders back. The Italians reported a de- structive mass air raid on Mat run, Egypt, where British were bringing up supplies for a furth er eastward advance towards Alexandria. ' Britons credited stormy weather and a stout defense to day with taking the edge off ' the 14th consecutive dusk-to-dawn German bomb attack on England, but looked for a quick renewal of fiercer air war with in-Lthe fast clearing skies, But even the clouds and storm failed to halt the raidera of either side.
