ROOSEVELT'S STRATEGY
With 10,015 ysiuies 7or the Army
and Navy in production, on contract:
or being built under -letters of in
tention," the President last week in
dicated that airplane production is
making as good progress as possible
under the circumstances. The Chief
Executive made it plain that what
ever the program lacked in speed is
due to delays by Congress in passing
the $(.,000,000,000 aixis appropriation
bill, the excess profits tax bill and
the selective service bill.
The President pointed out that the
Government is especially interested
in training pilots, which requires the
production of many planes and in
increasing tiie capacity oj. the coun
try to build airplanes. Figures al-
ready published show that this coun- 3.600,000 ;eople resident in the
try has the capacity of 10,000 planes! United States who are subject to

of the commission will be available
by the middle of this month but
whether its contents will be made

the historic meeting at Ogdensburg,
between President Roosevelt and
Prime Minister - MacKenzie-King -Is
producing immediate results.

critical of the Roosevelt Adminis
tration in many respects, the veteran
Senator refused to condemn it in its.
entirety, saying credit should be
given for certain social reforms
which have "made the lot of the
average man more secure."
Henry A. Wallace, former Secre
tary of Agriculture, "accepted" the
Democratic nomination for Vice
President at Des Moines. His speech
was largely an argument that the
President is a symbol of democracy,
whose defeat would "cause Hitler to
repoice." He feared that "if the
Republicans come into power" power
ful elements will "force us to make
one economic concession after anoth
er to the totalitarian countries" in
order to secure "profitable business
with a German-controlled Europe."
He linked the economic destinies of,
this nation with the defeat of Ger-
many and insisted that President
Roosevelt' "understood the Hitler
menace from the start."
While the United States continue?
to insist that Japan observe Ameri
can rights in the Far East, the con
versations between the two Govern
ments have not resulted in any ap
preciable amelioration of the prob
lem between them. That diplomatic
relations are serious is clear from
the Konoye Government's proclama
tion of totalitarianism at home and
"a new order for Greater East Asia,"
and consequent reservations made by j
the United States in respect to her xo eaiers warnea to "clean up"
rights in China and the Far East before more drastic on was taken

President Roosevelt, meanwhile, con
tinued his "non-political" role al
though making speeches at Chicka
mauga Dam and Newfound Gap, as
part of dedicatory exercises on Labor
Day. Just how much speaking the
President will undertake before No
vember remains uncertain, but his
opinion, as reported at this time is
that events in Europe will have more
to do with the results of the elec
tion this Fall than anything that he
or his opponent can sa in cam
paign speeches. Meanwhile, he will
srive his attention to the prepared
ness program and be identified as
closely as possible with the defense
measures now being taken in this
