Show t K. THK PAYSON CHHON( Launch 1,000 Nazi Bombing Planes Raid ; History's Greatest Mass Air Aliens in U. S. Start Registration; jm Johnson Wrtk Kpil-Phillip-r Jim Farley has retired as National Democratic chairman New York Yankees. but his Colorado Springs setting on die toenails of die Rockies at Dike's Ieak, is one of die most pleasant and beautiful spots on God's footstool, so I diink I can survive the mental anguish. It is telling no tales to say, from observation here and elsewhere, that Mr. Willkie is surely continuing the process of selling himself on sight. Little Mary Pickford, who had lunch with us, went away in raptures. She has marvelously preserved her stature in public respect and adoration and otherwise. She is going to be a help. If enough potential crusaders like Mary can meet Mr. Willkie in such circumstances, his lack of an political organization won't count for so much. There is no question of his appeal and political "It in personal contacts, whether it is with single individuals or in crowds. He has all that it takes. What remains to be seen, is what he can do on the radio and the content of his speeches. The Republican platform was so indefinite that Mr. Willkie will have tc chart the party course almost single-handeIt is some chore! The Republicans were lending at this stage of the 1930 campaign, but from the very day of Mr. Landon's undistinguished opener at West Middlesex they started on a toboggan slide that left them two states. Mr. The New Landon's theme was: Deal is perfect, but I can deal it better. That left no issue, save one As between Mr. of personalities. Roosevelt and Mr. Landon, that was just no contest. There will be a contest in that field this time. Some people say that in his engaging exterior. Mr. Willkie is Just another Roosevelt. Nothing could be further from the truth. The only point of similarity is that they are both pleasant gentlemen. Mr Roosevelt's charm is that of a cultured actor. Mr. Whine's is far more roughshod and 1 believe that most aomcly. people will regard it as more genuine. But he is going to need more than that He will have to make issues !ur more clear than they are today and convince people that his, is the right side. One handicap of Mr. Landon was that Col. Frank Knox and Ogden Mills were speaking with him but not the same language. Mr. Willkie may have a similar problem. Mr. Hoover is going to make at least two speeches. He is a thoughtful, experienced and respected American, but Mr. Hoover's speeches represent Mr. Hoover's doctrine and nothing else whatever. They will be attempts not to sell but to sell the present Willkie, edition of Ilooverism whicn may be something as different as Knox and Mills from Alfred Landon. That would be one great handicap and there are many others. However, Mr. Willkie's life habit has been overcoming seemingly impossible handicaps, like getting a Democrat nominated on a Republican ticket None of these new ones compares with that.

BRITISH WILL TRADE ISLAND Some of the most important conversations ever to take place with Great Britain in 150 years have been transpiring behind the scenes recently. As this column has pointed out on several occasions, the support most desperately needed by Great Britain as of this moment is destroyers. beTo this end, conversations tween representatives of the two governments have taken this course: If the United States will supply Britain with destroyers and small o boats, then the British will transfer to the United States any island possessions it desires any place in the Western hemisphere, and will also permit the United States the use of land, air and naval bases on any territory which it controls. In addition to this, the British have told American plenipotentiaries that the United States can write its own ticket. In other words, if this country wants other concessions from Britain in return for naval support, it can have them. These terms, transmitted to members of the Roosevelt cabinet and to high Roosevelt advisers, have been received most favorably. This includes the Republican members of the cabinet. Secretary of War Stimson and Secretary of the Navy Knox. In fact, the opinion inside the administration has been unanimous.

Always before as the Nazi planes attacked, their numbers could be reported in fives and lens but this tune dispatches from both Berlin and London indicated that there were hundreds of planes in the air. One official British source estimated that in a single day a Nazi air armada of more than 1.000 planes had rained bombs on all of from Scotland's border England right through the midlands tn Wales. Even London itself was bombed for the first time during the war as the German pilots dropped tons of high explosives up and down the river Thames, concentrating on a terrific attack upon famed Croydon airport, one of Europe's largest and best equipped landing fields. As usual both Germany and England claimed that the enemy came ont second best. England said that her famous fighter planes had driven of! the Nazis in time to prevent "great damage. But Berlin, while not at first admitting that London had been bombed, did claim that "the entire Thames valley witnessed methodical, irresistible German air attacks which threaten all military establishments with destruction. furthering the political activities, public relations or public policy of a foreign government."

Psychological Corporation is headed by Dr. Henry C. Link, who is the originator of the "P. Q. or Personality Quotient, and other psychological tests. He is also connected with a number of national business concerns, including U. S. Rubber, Lord & Taylor, and Gimbels Psychological department store. Corporation set up the original Fortune poll and has conducted numerous polls in its own name. Despite its long experience, however, P. C. will not conduct polls of general public opinion this year. Reason for this is that the war and public reaction to it have set up such rapid cross currents of opinion as to make established polling methods unreliable. P. C. will continue to make any poll for which its services are employed, handling each job according to the individual requirements. But on polls where the war enters as a factor, or in regard to political opinion, P. C. will undertake them only on condition that definite predictions will not be made because of incalculable rapid shifts of opinion. On polls not involving these factors, which it will conduct as it has similar ones in the past, P. C. makes no reservations. But it definitely is hedging on political polls and is frankly telling clients so. GERMAN PARTNERS Despite the intervention of Arthur V.

It is a spot because a newspaper man's job is to take not give opinions, and to use what he can glean to inform the public. In this reversal of roles, I can't be talking about Mr. VVillkie's views, as disclosed in two long sessions here, because he has to be absolutely fair to the press, and that means no favorites or exclusive interviews. I can't for another reason. which is that he is my friend and talks in as complete confidence as a man would indulge in with his own brother.
