FOURTEEN THE DAILY MAIL, HAGERSTOWN, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1940. RECORD OPEN ESTATES lELLHUlL Secretary Of State Says President Entrenching Nation Against War WASHINGTON, Nov. 5 re-election of President Roosevelt because of his record in the international field, his present policies and- his seasoned leadership, was urged last night in an address by Secretary of State Cordeil Hull. Mr. Hull denounced in forthright terms the.

assertions that the President is "leading the country into war." Actually, he said, the country is being "entrenched against war." Likewise he denied that the Acl- numstratioir? foreign policy has brought this country into a position of "loneliness" in world affairs. That, Mr. Hull said, was a "plain distortion of the record." He stated, also, that the record of the Roosevelt Administration is "an open book;" that there are "no sec- ret'commitments and no entanglements in the quarrels of foreign countries." Mr. Hull said ihe vast majority of the American people supported the Administration's policies with respect to developments abroad and defense at home, "In the absence of even a shred of tenable arguments, resort is be- ing made more and more, day and night, to unfounded, contradictory and inconsistent statements, plainly designed to create fear, prejudice and suspicion, and to produce gen-! eral conufsion. This whole outrageous procedure Is resorted to without the slightest regard to the vast injury which it dees to the safety and vital interests of the nation.

"The fullest measure of fair and constructive criticism of foreign policy as of any phase of public policy, is of course, always welcome. "But it would a tragedy for our country to have this election, coming as it does in the midst of an extremely delicate and critical International situation, turn on spurious, and counterfeit issues of foreign policy artificially created to mislead the voters. Labels Charge "Vicious" "Outstanding is the wholly unwarranted and utterly vicious charge that the President is 'leading us into For the mnkinc; of this charge, resort is had to misinterpretation of a clear record and misrepresentation of established (Continued on Pago 2) Willkie Replies To President Roosevelt Speech Last Night Stirs His Opponent. ABOARD Willkie train in New Jersey, Nov. 2 Republican presidential nominee, resting before his final campaign appearance tonight at Madison Square Garden, issued a statement calling Mr.

Roosevelt's address 1m "fourth defense of hi.s own administration." Saying his opponent "complains that the Republican ticket has the support of many different elements I of our population," Willkie con- i tinned: "The answer to that is obvious. It is because our party is today the only one which offers unity to the country "In a desperate effort to block this movement of unity, he used an alleged quotation. This quotation is supposed to have come from some one in Philadelphia having no connection with the national Republican ticket." (Mr. Roosevelt, in his Brooklyn speech, said "a prominent leader of ihe Philadelphia bar" had been quoted in the New York Times MS saying the President's only supporters "are paupers, those who earn less than a year and aren't worth that, and the Roosevelt Just before Mr. Roosevelt went on the air, Willkie broadcast from his private car a talk contending that "jieslect and abuse" of the aviation industry by the New Deal would prevent American factories from producing 50,000 planes annually "for a period years."

L. MILLS 46 W. Baltimore St. Phone 194 (Continued From Page 1) auce" had been forming within the Republican party between "the extreme reactionary and the extreme radical elements of this country. Each of those elements, Mr.

Roosevelt said, seeks "dictatorial ends." and roay bring a threat "to the future of democracy in this country." "1 am very certain," he declared, "that the rank and file of patriotic Republicans do not realize the nature of this threat. "They should remember, and we must remember, what the collaborative understanding between Communism and Naziism has done to the processes of democracy abroad." Two formal speeches from the rear platform of ills special train were on the President's schedule first at Rochester, N. in mid-morninp, the second at Erie, in the late afternoon. Pushing across upper New York state, a corner of Pennsylvania and into Ohio, Mr. Roosevelt was vying for votes of those pivotal states.

Fighting For Peace To a crowd which crammed ihe Academy of Music Auditorium in Brooklyn last night, the Chief Executive asserted he was lighting "to Iccep this nation prosperous and at peace." "Our program in the past, our program for the future," Mr. Roosevelt said, "is equality of economic opportunity." Asserting it was impossible to determine the "principles" of the opposition party, the Chief Executive said Republican leaders had spoken "on all sides of all questions," foreign policy, farm policy, labor, relief and spending, "good neighbor" The explanation, he said, lay in a strange assortment of "political bed fellows" wbo.se only purpose was to get rid of all the New Deal. But, be asserted, they never will be able to "foist this purpose" on the American people because "we will sec to Unit next, Tne.silny." After discussing what, he termed the "unholy alliance," the President said "something evil is happening in this country when a full page advertisement against this administration paid for by Republican supporters, of all the Daily Worker, the newspaper of the Communist party." Saying everyone knew the faJfte about the "unfortunate chameleon" who "died a tragic death when they put him on a Scotch plaid," Mr. Roosevelt added: "We all know what would happen to government if it tried to fulfill all the secret understandings and promises made between the conflicting groups which are now backing the' Republican party." The President said he felt certain ttwit the rank and file of "patriotic Republicans" did not "realize the nature of this threat." Speaks Of Ad "They should remember," he added, "and we must remember, what the collaborative understanding between Communism and Naziism has done to the processes of democracy abroad." The President contended that "something evil" was happening in the country "when a. full page advertisement against his administration, paid for by Republican supporters, of all the Dally Worker, the newspaper of the Communist party." And, Mr.

Roosevelt continued: "Something evil is happening in this country when vast quantities of Republican campaign literature are distributed by organizations which make no secret of their admiration for the dictatorship form of government. "These forces bate democracy and Christianity as two phases of the same civilization. They oppose democracy because it is Christian, Tbey oppose Christianity because it preaches democracy. "Their objective is to prevent democracy from becoming strong and purposeful. We are strong and purposeful now." Only 'Paupers' Support Roosevelt from Pace 1) of the Republican leadership." "Can the Republican leaders douy," asked, "thai, this nil too prevailing Republican sonli- nu'iit ia a direct vicious appeal to class hatred, to class contempt?" For himself, the President added, he believed "that when Americans cross this dividing line of month, they do not.

lose their do- votion to socinl and economic justice." He saul ho was "with all my soul" ugainst. class hatred continued: "1 am fighting for a free America a country in which all men and women have equal rights to liberty and justice. urn lighting against the revival of government by special privilege --government by vested in the hands of (hose who favor and who would have UH imitate (ho fnroign dictatorships.

Adv. voting public, particularly the people of Washington county, should keep in mind that Congressman William D. Byron has been serving on one of the most important committees of the House of Representatives and that this service was largely responsible for his roll call absence. Congressman Byron has never, asserts the Maryland News, leading Montgomery newspaper, been absent that Congressional leaders did not know where he was and where he could be contacted, if needed for voting purposes. The News, replying to a misleading advertisement on this page attacking Congressman Byron's" record, points to Walter Johnson's miserable record as a county commissioner of Montgomery county.

The News says that Johnson has been absenting himself consistently from county commissioner meetings to work in Washington as a broadcaster of baseball games, then as a salesman of soft drinks. The News declares that Congressman Byron has voted on every national defense bill, which the majority of Republicans in the House voted against; that he been consistent in voting for every measure that aims to promote the general welfare of the people, and that his service on the important House Military Affairs Committee has been praised by every leader in the House of Representatives. It is further pointed out that Byron's re-election is being urged by such leaders as Speaker Pay- burn, Floor Leader John W. McCormack and Chairman Andrew J. Mays of the Militaiy Affairs Committee.

These able leaders know a man's worth and know that Byron is needed in Congress, The News concludes. COMMUNICATION PRAISED George S. Rosenberg, Funkstown, whose communication in Friday's Daily Mail urging the re-election of President Roosevelt, has won widespread praise, is a delicatessen and grocery store owner of Funkstown, and not a furniture dealer as reported. Mr. Rosenberg in his communication gave many sound and convincing reasons why the American public should return President Roosevelt to office, particularly during these perilous times.

Byron's Record In Congress The following comprehensive report of Rep. Byron's record in Congress has been carefully compiled by the Minority Clerk to the House, Mr. William Tyler Page of Friendship Heights. Its study is recommended to all voters who will consider thoughtfully before casting their ballots on November 5th. Absence from 46 percent of all roll calls is scarcely "representation" of the Sixth District.

He Is Asking for Reelection on His Record Look at it! Absent on 1S3 Roll Calls. Almost one-half of a total of 396. Absent on many important votes. Where Was He? What Was He Doing? The People Elected' Him to Serve Them, Not to Be an Absentee The Sixth District deserved to be represented in Congress all of the time. Not just one-half of the lime.

What reason, if any, can Byron give the people for his chronic absence? Byron absent 4G per cent, or 183 times. Look further at the record. Kxamine some of the votes Byron missed. Votes on measures of Importance to our District, our Stale, and the Nation. And to our neighbors in the District of Columbia.

Byron was absent but paired "against" resolution creating the National Labor Relations Act Investigating Committee (July 2, 1939).

It shows that. Byron was absent 132 times more than Ward, or 25 more; 135 times more than Cole, or more; 167 times more than D'Alesandro, or more; 116 times more than Kennedy, or more; and 114 times more than Sasscer, or 2S more. This record speaks for itself. It's a blot on the 6th District. VOTE FOR WALTER JOHNSON and get a Congressman in the place of a part Congressman.
