Dttrolt Tri-Potver Conference Although many of the details of the tri-powcr conference, involving America, Great Britain, and Russia, still arc unavailable, enough information has been released to indicate the significance of the event. Considerable had been engendered in this country by Russia's failure to participate in several dramatic meetings between Churchill and Roosevelt. The suspicion began to mount that our failure to establish "second front" in France, and other things, had alienated our largest ally.

There also was considerable apprehension lest we get an obscure place at the peace conference should Russia continue to play major role in the defeat of Germany, and there were that Russian territorial demands would conflict with our own altruistic post-war intentions. Whatever ii the nature of our relationship with Russia at the present the situation ii not too fact that a conference has been arranged is a long step in the right direction. It indicates that Joseph Stalin is not planning to ignore America and Great Britain it makes clear that we are allies in a real sense; and it makes possible interchange of views which gives every promise of being beneficial in countless ways. But there is an even more encouraging aspect. Russia has announced" it will not discuss boundaries or the Baltic the defeat of Hitler it the main consideration.

Although this does not, guarantee that Russia will not make territorial demands, it does indicate that it keeping its attention on the main task, winning the- war, and that -no quarrel over poit-war plant will be allowed to interfere with our cooperative effort at the present time. It ii clear now that the three great powers opposed to Germany fight the war first, and fight it together, and that differences, if there are to be any, will be allowed to wait until victory achieved. Miners and Heroes Tuesday U. S. Fortresses were shot down in a mass raid on -Schweinfurt, Germany.

Aboard thoie 60 planes were a total of 593 American youths. They knew that raid would be a highly dangerous, one, Schweinf urt is the of one ojf the moit vital Nazi war huge ball-bearing factory. On the last raid, J9 American bombers failed to reach safety. It was known that Hitler-has been with a plfiios, 1 But those hit that factory and wiped it off the map. They had a reason for placing a successful raid above their own safety.

Military experts figured that knocking out the Schweinf urt factory might Veil shorten the war- by six They went in, braved shrapnel and fighters, erased the plant, and those who were left came back, battling enemy all the way. Behind them they left almost comrades, the bloody price for a blow to shorten the war. And on the same day, John Lewis' miners again began to quit, work here in the United States. next day, production of war-vital steel began to be curtailed because of the coal shortage. The reason for the miner walkout was dissatisfaction with the government's return of the mines to their owners.

There is a question that each of those miners must ask himself in the privacy of his own conscience; "What could I say, In of my action, to jury of tbow 59J mining boyi?" A Job for Parents Mid-October brings the annual Halloween prankster, This year his depredations assume a more serious aspect. In wartime the repair of damage It a difficult task. The youngster who any property damage may be dealing icrious harm to an innocent property owner, Fun ii one thing, damage, is another. No one thinks the youngsters should be without enjoyment in this season; but innocent fun and destructive mischief are two different things. It is impossible for an undermanned police force to answer all calls, prevent all damage; and, even arrests are made, complainants are reluctant to sign warrants.

But there is a remedy, and that, like charity, begins at home. The remedy reset with the parents. They should forbid their children to indulge in any such pranks, The innocent prank may develop into something more serious, It is a short step from an undetected prank to a deed that causes damage to property, and the thrill of escape may lead to more terious things for the youngster, Halloween depredations can be prevented. It a job for parents. City Losing Good Alderman The City Council loses the services of an able member when Leland Kennedy, Seventh ward alderman, enters his country's military service.

Says Sny the tic Rubber Needs Tariff Protection By DAVID LAWBBNCB WASHINGTON, Oct ident RooseveU has revealed perhaps unwittingly why tht American people have had, A' In rubber these last two velars. He announced publicly tor the first time that he Was unalterably opposed to the impoeltlon 'of a tariff to protect tha infant industry which has been trying to develop synthetic rubber. The tariff has been suggested so as to make American automobile independent of the caprice'and arbitrary power of the British-Dutch rubber cartel in the Malaya peninsula and the Dutch Eaat Indies.

Back In 1940, when the British- Dutch cartel should have "materially Increased its production of rubber, the of that cartel feared that America 'might buy too much rubber arid if the war ended suddenly there would be a glut which would depress the price. So production was controlled, and while the American government was constantly pressing for more and more production, only In the latter part of 1941 just before the attack on Pearl Harbor was production' raised to capacity by the BirltUh-DUtch cartel. American arid American rubber companies -have long known about synthetic rubber. Despite the smokescreen which the Roosevelt administration' hai attempted to draw over the, rubber problem by claiming that failure to pool patents or to make German patents available, was the reason why the American people have not gotten synthetic rubber tires, the truth the'Ameri- can synthetic rubber industry was repeatedly discouraged by the American government'itself. Indeed, those who advised that synthetic rubber plants should be built realized that American Industry was afraid to risk capital because of the possibility that no tariff.

protection would be granted after the war and hence the proposal was advanced persistently that the American' government should furnish the money to build the synthetic rubber plants. This was not done promptly and one reason often suggested for the delay is that the President foresaw the tariff problem and wanted to postpone as long possible the building of an American synthetic rubber Industry. The record of British-Dutch cartel In its dealing's with the American rubber market by no means a creditable one. At one time In the early twenties the cartel saw that an independent supply either of synthetic rubber or other natural rubbers might be developed in this hemisphere, possibly in South America, and.this along with other reasons prompted the cartel to drop the price to as little as five cents a labor In the East Indies made this possible- Then'when the of competition was passed, the price was jacked up to 15 cents, and it so happens that the American government paid as high as 20 cents or more a pound in 1941. If It had not been for the intervention Of the "American government as a purchaser for all American companies, the price might have gone higher.

The cartel even let the British down and since Singapore fell, America has been exporting rubbers to Britain out of our stockpile. Now the President the: American synthetic rubber try and the American automobile Industry that all the progress we have made on synthetic rubber must to a large extent be thrown out the window. The British- Dutch cartel is doubtless pleased, and Prime Minister Churchill presumably will be happy to assure the commercial interests of his country that imperialism of that kind has been given a boost by the decision of President Roosevelt to stand by the Brltlsh-DutcH, cartel and refuse Americans a protective tariff. The synthetic rubber that they cannot produce for lew than 15 cents a pound, though there are processes which might be made for little tlx cents a pound If quantity orders could be assured. But how can that be possible If the American government refuses to give tariff protection of any kind to tht thetlc Industry as it struggles to get a market? There no justification for a permanent subsidy or permanent but It would appear wise to assure the synthetic rubber industry protection for at least a three or five-year period while proctssts were being developed so as to the price down to somewhat near the prlct of the British-Dutch cartel.

But If President Roosevelt that there must be no tariff at all, position must also" evltably be that the British-Dutch' carte) thould agree for a period of at least, five to ten years to fix the price of rubber at a flgurt of at not more than ten a pound- fixed pries) is auurtd, tht American people wlU find synthetic rubber Industry abandoned after the war and the British-Dutch cartel managers will have tht American tlrt ustr at their mercy ever (Reproduction and Qaitrollths Many of the' wtrt Kbit to chew their food, and to kwallow itonts. so that theif food might bt ground tine In the gbj- after tht ntr of Great of these stones, called by have been fo near dinosaur fi Profits from Army post to North Africa art to buy rtllitous equipment HOT ttm Army's five permanent tls ttowe.

WILY WASHfHOTON WtMOtt MERRY-GO-ROUHD ly DKiW fiARSON New Wendell Willkie Emerges; Little Like 1940.Campaigner (The Brass Ring, good for one free ride on the Washington Go-Round, is awarded today to Wendell Willkie.) WASHINGTON, Oct. Willkie has just launched what is regarded as his first campaign speech. Between the Willkie who spoke in St.

Louis yesterday and the Willkie who battled that hectic 1940 campaign against Roosevelt, there has been a tremendous change. It may not be apparent from a but to those who have seen him close up, It Is quite clear that the war, his trip around the world, his conversations with such men as Churchill, Stalin, De- Gaulle, Chiang Kai-Shek have left a definite Imprint on his political soul. You can see the change between the Willkie, of 1940 and the Willkie of 1943. You can see that he is now voicing a platform of his own, his real convictions, not the platform devised for him by- a pussyfooting Republican convention which considered htm as a political plg-ln-a-poke whom they could discard if he didn't make the grade. Willkie Is now proving himself a tough person to discard.

In fact, he Is a bear-by-the-tail and Republicans can't let go. They found this out during recent tour to pep up GOP state committees, which turned out. to be one of the most unusual political jaunts in recent political history. For, Instead of wooing Republican votes, he almost rebuffed them. In unvarnished language he told local Republican big-wigs that the Party could not come back to power with such time-honored clinches as "free enterprise" or "back to He has delivered courageous, critical almost Scathing on social progression and wong with the Republican party.

He knocked down tome of the most sacred cows in the Grand Old Party, yet with such frank and breathtaking charm that most people, while disagreeing, liked him. Secret Meeting Typical of these lecret Republican the Willkie session with the Republican State 'Central Committee in California. Beside him at lunch sat Lieut. Gov. Frederick F.

Houser, Mayor Fletcher Bowron of Los Angeles; Charlie Lyons, GOP ipeaker of' the Auembly, and Republican National Commltteewoman Edith Van dt Water, Before him sat several hundred Republican commltteemen, local precinct workers and followers of Gov. Warren. They had come to look over the man for whom they had boat the drum In 1940 and about whom they had their doubts for 1944. Willkie, called upon to apeak, got up, adjusted told a funny story and then gave it to them. Actually he was talking to his political enemies.

He could have been ambiguous, or attacked Roosevelt, and gained their 100 percent support. Instead he attacked them and had some pralie for Roosevelt. "You have to give tht devil due." Willkie at startled audience. "The of tht Ntw Deal art here to stay, you had been half as smart as Prtsldtnt Roottvtlt the Republicans would have advocated tht legislation that brought the New EJfal to power. "If you continue to campaign on tht of 'free or against bureauracy, regimentation, federal of power," WitUtlt almost marled, "you won't get anywhere." Naturally Willkl.

denounced totlon gavt his already well- feels -Office known views on world cooperation. But his views on the home front were what really put audience on their heels. "You can't win 1 by merely taking polls and-saying the people, want this and that," Willkie. warned. "Why, I have half a mind to take a poll right here.

"I'll bet that 90 percent of you, don't go to church once a year. But if I took a poll here and asked how many of you are churchgoers, everyone ol you would raise your hand." Wealth and Freedom Then Willkie went back to free enterprise. He told a little of his own life history; how he left Elwood to make $50,000 so, he coulc settle down and be a free man how making $50,000 was a mere and how he Immediately wanted more. Finally when he had. made half a million he found that wealth did not beget freedom.

Willkie warned that though he still believed in free enterprise, "You must put the responsibility for social freedom upon free enterprise. Your corporations, your big businesses, must pay for the elevation' of humanity. And you must admit, by God, that the New Deal, acting as an agent for a tremendous sociological force, has answered the needs of the people "I am opposed to the New Dea now," Willkie said, "because It has degenerated into a power without day-to-day system of balance of power instead 1 of an administration listening to the people and acting accordingly." Willkie criticized Republicans for their "antl" attitude, like the farmers In Indiana who wanted no ceiling on prices, no control on new equipment, yet advocated a floor below which prices could not go. "You'd be the damndest bureau- racy, by that system you have ever seen," he stormed. Warns Against Sniping Willkie even warned his fellow Republicans to quit sniping, to quit talking about personalities, such as the President's family, and other New Dealers.

"I don't like Mrs. Roosevel either," he said and then addec humorously that the reason he didn't like her was not because her teeth or her reforms, but because she had got the trip to Australia which he had asked for "However," he added, "Mrs Roosevelt is one of the most Intelligent women In America." Willkie also spoke of Churchill paying tribute to his greatness, anc his recognition of the fact tha America and England must work together. Then with a twinkle, Willkie added: "1 understand why Mr. Churchil at Harvard said: 'Come us, let us work It would be like me going to John D. Rockefeller and saying: 'Come let us pool our resources and work The comparison is about the same." This was a of the challenging criticism Willkie hurled at his cross-section of what he has been giving to similar Republican off- the-record, More than one Republican big-wig squirmed, fluihed.
