BEGINNING WILLKIE'S ACCEPTANCE, BULLITT WARNS k S. SAYS HITLER WILL ATTACK The foreign policy of the United States is in process of startling development, with arrangements be ing made with Canada for the joint defense of the lands to the norm oi this country and with possession of necessary air and naval bases in the southern area assured as a result ol negotiations initiated by Great Bri tain. Apparently the Government of the United States is moving to imple ment its pledge to defend Canada from invasion as a part of the hem isphere plan of defense. It is es sential for Americans to understand that the basic idea behind this plan is the complete defense of the United States.- It is realized by naval and military experts that the require ments of our own safety make it i necessary that we guard the adja cent land areas. The- vital importance of Great Britain to the safety of the United States is now generally recognized as a result of the necessity of facing the possible contingencies in event the island empire is conquered by, Hitler. The British fleet in the At lantic Ocean has been a bulwark of American defense. Its absence leav es a dangerous gap in our sea-wall that cannot be repaired for five or six years and nobody knows this better than the American experts. There is some opinion available to the effect that if Hitler wins his campaign against England the Ger mans will immediately attempt to develop this hemisphere. The idea is that our current defense program, just getting underway, is enough to make Hitler realize that he cannot i wait to straighten out the Western Hemisphere. If he gives the United States a year, or two, there will be little chance of success for Hitler. Consequently, any questions at issue must be settled before the United j States is strengthened to any great extent. v Of course '"we would not have readers believe; that everybody - n the United States thinks that Hitler will immediately attack this country if he wins his war with Great Bri tain. There are " citizens, isolation ists and t)thers, who sincerely be lieve that there is no danger to the United States regardless of whether Hitler wins in Europe or not. These appeasers, like Coll. Lindbergh, sug gest that we can get along with a German-dominated Europe as well as we have gotten along with an English-dominated Europe. The task of defending North America, vital to the safety of the United. States, is complicated by the fact that Canada is now at war. This seems to make it inevitable for the United States, if we want to assure protective devices to the north, to make some kind of a deal with the Canadians, regardless of its relation snip to strict neutrauny in tne pres- to uestroy t.iem one by one. Gclfish ent struggle. In fact, there is a ness, and lack of foresight will pre strong sentiment in' this country j vent each one from fighting until it supporting the idea that our defense! is too late." requires immediate assistance to , Great Britain in order to prevent a German victory, which would imperil our safety. The suggestion that the British lease this country naval and air bases in the south was advanced by the British Government, which has offer ed to make available to this nation a line of bases running from New foundland, through Bermuda, the Bahamas, Jamaica, and Trinidad to British Guiana on the northeast coast of South America. These bases are essential to a complete defense of the Panaroa Canal and their ac quisition, through some form of agreement with the British, has been urged by officials and Congressmen, who differ widely in their attitude toward the war in Europe. The presidential campaign will hardly get underway in full force until some time in September, but it has started with , the delivery of Wendell Willkie' acceptance address, Kf By 'order of ing 1939 dalinqusnt taxes in Hertford wi!l D3 al- vertised on Septcififiar 13. , ' i v j ' ' If Reaction to this speech has been varied, with Republicans hailing the address as a masterpiece, represent ing the courage of a strong leader, and the Democrats pouncing upon Jt as a complete acceptance of 'the basic ideas of the New Deal, thus almost wiping out all differences between the two parties. There can be no denial that Mr Wllkie has bravely placed himself on the record in favor of the New Deal undertakings. He seems to have in mind the idea that the people can be persuaded to favor his man agement of these undertakings and his attitude toward business and people, rather than the President's leadership. Mr. Willkie, apparently, will attempt to draw a wide line be tween his and the President's views as to the proper methods of govern ment, with emphasis upon the im portance of sustaining the anti-third-term custom as a safeguard against dictatorship. While Mr. Willkie gives support to New Deal measures he advises the people that heavy taxes must be borne, that he promises work for all He assails the idea of limited produc-i tion and proclaims the advantages of j production and attacks the failure of the New Deal to solve the problems of the nation after spending immense sums of money. His challenge to the President, asking for joint debates, was novel and arresting, but nobody expects any such platform-discussions to materialize. William C. Bullitt, American am bassador to France, delivered a speech in Philadelphia, which has caused wide-spread discussion. He has been denounced by some Americans Decause of the startling statements that he made. He says that it is his conviction, drawn from his own ex perience and the information in the hands of the American government, "that the United States is in as great peril today as was France a year ago" and "unless we act now." de cisively, to meet the threat we shall be too late. Mr. Bullitt regards the German military machine as "without ques tion the most powerful that has ever been created" and that "if Great Britain is defeated" an attack wii b launched against this country and "all the strength of this nation will be needed mobilized, organized, equipped and ready if we are to parry it and save the independence of our country." He says that he saw hundreds of thousands of Ger man soldiers, with all their motor-, hed equipment and adds "I have never seen one piece of that equip ment broken down." Mr. Bullitt says that the "destruc tion of the British navy wouQd be , the turning of our Maginot line" and that without the British navy the "Atlantic would give us no more pro tection than the Maginot line gave France after the German troops had marched through Belgium." He says the dictators are convinced that the democracies will "always be too late" and quotes Hitler's words that "each country will imagine that it alone will escape. I shall net even need BURGESS NEWS The Burgpss Home Demonstration Club will hold its picnic Labor Day afternoon on the lawn of Mr. and Mrs. Billie Whedbee's home. The community is invited to come and bring picnic baskets and enjoy the afternoon with club members. A ball game will feature the afternoon pro gram, and various other forms of entertainment will be provided. The affair starts at 3 o'clock. Mr. and Mrs. S. P. Matthews spent Sunday at Hobbsville. Mrs. J. G. Roberson, Miss Alice Roberson ana! Mrs. R. L. Spivey, Sr., were guests of Mrs. J. B. Basnight Sunday. Miss VeJma Overton, Mrs. Nina Maud Taylor and Calvin Strickland have returned to Norfolk, Va., after spending the week as guests of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Overton. IT D (S the Town Council at intern, luwn ui iiirniwra FooUje!1 Blvq At Vl'io Forest; Thirty-three football candidates have been invited to report for prac tice at Wake Forest September 2, by Heach Coach Peahead W&lker. Among those returning are 18 letter men, 9 sophomores, and 6 reserves. The Deacons will , begin this falO with practically the same club that finished the 1939 campaign- the only ones missing will be Captain Robert Pate and Clem Crabtree at the j tackle positions, although Billy Eut- sler, Eddie Woolbert, Joe Kuchinski.j and Tom Tingle, all important men in the '39 race, are gone. Last year Wake possessed one of the most powerful ground attacks of any club in the nation, but it was stymied by the absence of a passer with which to mix up the' attack. The freshman team had what appear ed to be a No. 1 passer and it ap-: peared that Coach Walker would v, wll,, have the answer to his prayer this fall, but it was not to be for this sea son. The promising frosh failed to pass his first semester exams and.,,. r!. droDDed out of school before sdmis-I practice got underway. j m. i -vi v f ..1. The only possible hope of the' P6"8 Jr ball this year lies e shlft at sent Red Mayberry bU (i JIG W 111 K "IV ' 1CU3 li O UX JillK f " A VI I Tony Gallovich moving to the tail. Tony has thrown the ball several times, but he is far from being a fair tosser, and while he will be giv J en every opportunity to show his wares in the drills this fall, the coaches won't be justified in placing very much faith in his passing abil ity. In view of this situation it is highly probable that the fans will see many Wake Foreet passes. This passing problem is probably causing Coach Walker the most wor ry as he draws plans for the train ing period to begin one week from Monday, but the shortage of capable reserves is another situation he isn't overlooking. ' The first club is expected to be a good team, and In some instances the reserves on the second outfit will be topnotchers, but en injury or two at certain positions would greatly weaken the Deacs' chances for a suc cessful campaign.
