He predicted an overwhelming democratic majority at the polls two weeks from .today, saying he ex pected the largest majority in the history of the state, "because the people believe in the party."

How effective his cam paign has been it a matter e# doubt, With opinions being determined large ly by political affiliations. ;?: The situation confronting the Unit ed States in the Par East will not stand still The Japanese may be depended upon to continue their steady encroachment upon the rights of other nations. This will compel the United States to determine upon the policy to be followed, whether to siit idle and stand upon protests al ready penned, or to implement our objections' to Japan's "new order" by ?action designed to prevent its success. The re-opening of the Burma Road last week produced no ilmcdiato repercussions, but there is no indi cation whatever that the Japanese have abandoned their program. Fac ed with this fact, the United States must acquiesce or take some steps which will effectively halt the Japan ese advance.

Through Rs news service, the Air Ministry told the story?how British bombers had doggedly , ridden 'J* air over a 2,000-mile Nazi front, alter nately attacking and observing, until the German invasion fleet had been dispersed at last eni German inva sion springboards bad beat wrecked. from Narvik, Norway, to Bordeaux,' far to the south in France. It was the first such sweeping success yet claimed against the. peril that long has lain across the chan nel, and it was accompanied by these other declarations intended to show that the Royal Air Force was de veloping quietly into an instrument of destiny for Britain:. British Claims. 1. A claim, also made by the Air Ministry, that a fifth of all tin Nazis' productive capacity for war had been affected by British bombs - which night upon night have fallen from the far interior of Germany to the German-held French coast line. 2. The statement of Captain Hargd Balfour, the Air Undersecretary, that the position achieved by the air arm, however unspectacular it might seem, was "one of the great victories of the war." Meanwhile, German warp lanes made a quick, momentarily; heavy stab at London tonight, but it taper ed off before midnight into the lightest'attack of the last 17 nights. The outer defenses, and a heavy rain over the channel, appeared to have turned back the main"" Nad throats. . . The Bound of exploding bombs could be heard in the city, but from afar, and the flashes of the anti aircraft goas nose over the distant horizon. J This relative quiet was in sharp *? contrast to the early evening when . buildings shuddered for a time under the impact of frequent bombs. ? Direct Hit. The attack succeeded a day of comparative lull in which, however, one direct hit demolished part of a. department store turned into an air raid shelter and took an esti mated toll of 25 lives. Eleven dead had been taken from the ruined -part of the building, but altogether 25 persons were believed to have been trapped when an oil bomb and a broken gas main com bined to sweep the ruins with flames. Most of the dead were employes' who had lost their homes in other bombings. Despite the disaster, the atom opened up for business in an un damaged section of the budding. London had but one alarm , during the day, and it lasted only a few minutes without any German planes having reached the city. Stray Ger man planes also were reported daring the day over western England The government said a4 Nary small" number of casualties and only slight damage resulted. The same thick fog, made black er by smoke pouring from London's chimney pots, whidt reduced Lon don's Tuesday night raids to mere sporadic affairs, apparently kept most of the Gqrman Luftwaffe earth bound.
