So far as the Democrats concerned, the issues have hardly Len discussed. The campaigners have contended themselves with praising his achievements the President and on the his and urging than fitted better is he that pounds duranyone else to lead the country ahead. years ing the unpredictable On the Republican side, one of the most remarkable phases of the cam ht paign has been Mr. Willkie's energy. Never in our history has a man made so many speeches and public appearances. It is a great testimonial to his physical and mental vigor that instead of cracking under the strain, as some of his backers feared, he has actually improved as he has gone along. There isn't a single possible is- sue, no matter how minor, that he hasnt tnnrhed on iisnallv In rnnRirt. erable detail. There has been little vagueness in his campaign, and an almost unprecedented amount of forth rightness. No one who reads the news papers or listens to the radio has any excuse for not knowing precisely where Willkie stands. As Time recently put it, the U. S. gradually "learned what sort of a strange, uncompromising, rugged character the G. O, P. had nominated." Even in the strongest Roosevelt circles, Mr. Willkie has earned real, spect on ! We will know on November 6 wheth er or not the kind of campaign he has conducted will pay dividends in the form of enough votes to elect him. In the meantime, it is apparent that his stock has risen immensely. In August and September Republicans were shaking their heads it looked J j j j I , j gambling fraternity, which has proven right many times in the past, was offering up to three to one on the President with few takers. In some places even money was offered that Mr. Roosevelt would carry more than 40 states. The various analysts were close to unanimous in believing that another New Deal landside was on its way. Today there is a greet change. The betting odds have dropped to seven to five and less. Late polls show the President's lead in key states ebbing and in some instances vanishing. In many important states the lead of either man is only two to six per cent, and it is certainly not reasonable to believe that any poll could be accurate within such narrow limits. A number of political analysts have said that it looks as if the election is a toss-uAnd the realistic Democrats, for the first time, are becoming worried. It was a significant commentary on conditions when the President scheduled his series of formal political talks. That amounted to a reversal of his past campaign strategy. What has caused the improvement in Willkie's chances? Certainly, his scores of appearances before voters have helped he has a first-claplat FASTnH23" form personality, and is better in offhand talks than in prepared speeches which must be read. The feeling he gives of absolute honesty and sincerity is another factor. Still another has been his refusal to take the easy way out and dodge or becloud delicate and dp.igerous issues. He has made exiscellent capital of the third-tersue. He hasn't "talked down" to the voters, and he has avoided those windy, grandiloquent phrases, beloved by many politicians, which amount to sound without meaning. He has based his campaign on the case for private enterprise as against what he regards as the collectivist tendencies of the New Deal. And, win or lose, he has made that case crystal clear. It may be that the outlook will change again after the President has made some speeches no intelligent Republican discounts Mr. Roosevelt's amazing gift for swaying people and inspiring confidence. But Mr. Will kie has shown such gifts also. Unless something tremendous and unforseen happens before election, it looks as if the election might be the closest since s contest. The leadthe ers on both sides know this, and the closing days of the campaign will be ablaze with action. m p. The recent conversations in Washington between Undersecretary of State Welles and the Soviet Ambassador are significant This government is trying to persuade the Soviet to keep on with its Soviet-Japane- se peace pact which would release the 400,000 Japanese troops now in Manchuria, for action elsewhere Hongkong, the Straits Settlements, Singapore, Indo China, the Dutch East Indies, etc. Reports say that Hitler is trying to bludgeon Stalin into making such a pact. Reason: it might pave the way for a U. war, which is precisely what Hitler desires. All our effort then would be devoted to our own protection, at the expense of the Britain.
