Washington, Sept 2—The Pres
ident’s demand that Congress
enact the Burke-Wadsworth selec
tive draft Mil within a two-weeks
period was calculated to put an
end to the long debate on the
question of draft versus volunteer
enlistments. As Senator Vanden-
berg, one of the strong opponents
of ’tMe draft remarked,, all that
could be said on the subject had
been said to the first Jew days.
But there is still a large element,
' Bhuses of Congress, of
Senators and Representatives who
don’t want to put themselves on
record until after election.

dent of Mayor La Guardia of New
York as the only civilian member
of the Canadian-American Joint
Board of Defense was the oppor
tunity Mr. Roosevelt has been
seeking to attach the fighting
little Mayor to his administration.
He has offered La Guardia, more
thari once, important Cabinet
posts and other jobs, which the
Mayor has always declined with
thanks, though he is a warm ad
mirer of the* President and a sup
porter of his policies.
No one here ventures to fore
cast just how far the joint U. 8.-
Canadian efforts will go. ' The
general belief is that it is a long
step toward a touch closer relation
between thif country and the
entire British Cemmopwealth of
Nations. The speech of Ambassa
dor BallMa ffiafeHttou? flufc the 4m-
portance to this country of giving
every possible support to Great

Base Leases Progressing
The agreement for the leasing
of naval and air bases by this
country from Britain, while not
yet complete in detail, is making
rapid progress. There would be
18 such bases, all the way from
Newfoundland down to Trinidad
on the northeast comer of South
America, making a semi-circle of
defenses which would effectively
guard all the approaches from the
Atlantic side to the . Panama
Canal.
The plan is to give the United
States control of such bases for
99 years. What the compensation
to Britain would be is not yet de
cided; but a strong sentiment is
developing in Congress for the
cancellation of the British World
War Debt in payment for the
rights to be granted. The total
amount still unpaid of money lent
to the British Government by this
Government in the World War is
$4,368,000,000.
Its cancellation for an equitable
quid pro quo would go a long way,
it is felt here, to put the relations

ADMISSION: Adults, 25 cents; Children up to 12, 10 cents;
Children 12 to 15, 15 cents
being exhausted.
In domestic politics, observers
here generally agree that Mr.
Willkie is starting his campaign
with better and. more widespread
support than any Republican
candidate since Mr. Hoover first
ran for President in 1928. He has
what is known as a “good press.”
The newspaper men who travel
with him and who meet him in
their home cities have taken a
strong liking to him.
A late check-up on the editorial
attitude of newspapers toward his
ctoidMicy shows that more daily
papers are supporting him than
have ever supported any candi
date in recent years, nearly twice
as many as were for Roosevelt
when he first ran, and more than
three times as many as axe for
the President’s re-election today.
Outcome Uncertain
It is still much too early to
make any bets, one way or the
other, on the outcome of the Pres
idential election. The latest and
usually most accurate forecasting
organization which makes a study
of such things, however, reports
that while Mr. Roosevelt still
seems to have a slight majority,
51 to 49, of the expected popular
vote, it is so distributed among
the states that the indications as
of early September are that the
Republicans are likely to obtain a
majority of the electoral votes.
But the election is not until
November 5, and many things may
happen to change the picture be
tween now and then.
One hears it said frequently in
Washington, wherever people are
discussing the Presidential out
look, that “Adolf Hitler will decide
the election.” That means that
if by election day the news from
Europe looks as if Britain were de
feated, or on the verge of defeat,
American public sentiment will
swing toward the expectation of
this country becoming involved in
the war, and the tendency of the
voters will be to keep the Admin
istration in power which has be
gun our military preparations for
defense. But even that may be a
fallacious theory... Nobody knows.
