SOCIETY I Willkie--He Has No Program Mr. Willkie lakes his valuable time on the rostrum saying "Mr. Roosevelt is' bringing us closer and closer to war." Would it not be much more to the point' fpr Mr. to say "If I were President I would cease the shipment of.

arms and munitions to Brit-, ain. I would not embargo scrap iron to Japan" and a few specific measures? Not by any means will he dare to be specific. He has never been. No -one living knows what he might do were he in the seat of power. As one of his introducers says 'He is a warm friend of the great utilities." That much is pretty well assured.

Fin-flier, no man knows. Prejudice is the weapon he attempts to use at all times, ill: a way worthy of a ward nothing better. Such as "I wonder who is pay- ng the President's expenses on. the trip to the Smokies?" Could anything be cheaper politics? No matter' 1 who was, it should not be a matter for itlack upon the President of great nation. Mr.
