AID FOR BRITAIN
AMERICAN HELP INCREASING PRODUCTION (United Press Assn.—Elec. Tel. Copyright) NEW YORK, Oct. 18 ! In a speech at St. Louis, Mr Willkie ! said Britain was a heroine. The British people stood between j America’s free institutions and a bar- ; baric philosophy of slavery to the j State. | “As we stand here looking east- : ward and westward,” he added. “w« find the British people living on the ! rim of our freedom. The reinforce--1 ment of that rim can be accomplished j only by production.” j He said America had contributed Ito the present world crisis. As a ' result of the New Deal, America did j not possess those things which ! Britain needed, and had no capacity to make those things. She faced the awful choice of whether to supply Britain or herself first. He favoured aiding Britain at some sacrifice to America's own defence programme. Mr Willkie characterised Mr Churchill as the most courageous and far-sighted statesman in the world.
