France, Oct. 26 —France moved officially into the axis line- up in Europe tonight with her gov- ernment’s announcement that Adolf | Hitler and Marshal Philippe Petain. France's chief of state, had agreed | in principle to work together to re- store peace in Europe. The announcement, indorsed by the French cabinet, marked an his- toric about-face for France and put this vanquished country on : threshold of negotiations on con- crete points of agreement with her German conquerors.

Today Italy was reported to have suddenly suspended air service to Greece until November 4 under cir- cumstances suggesting to some for- eign observers that the Fascists were thus setting a deadline for that little country to end its friendship with Britain and bow to the axis, Nothing was said officially about the action—which had a certain ap- parent parallel in the postponement of Ttalian steamship sailings shortly before the country entered the war against France and England—but th Italian press many times has stated that there must be “clarifica- tion™ of the position of Greece, and Turkey as well. ~his gesiure occurred almost itenegn-ly with a s'atement of the offical Rome radio that the long-exnected major Fascist offen- sive in Ezypt was imminent The North African armyv of Mar- thal Rodolfo Graziani. said the ra- dio. is “now ready and fully prepared to deal a final blow to the British in Egypt.

B the Associated Press LONDON, Oct. 26.—The channel area resounded today with a furi- ous British counter-offensive and great columns of smoke rose in the clear, bleak air above the Nazi-held French coast from areas set aflame by British bombs. Nazi shipping was attacked within sight of watchers on the English shore—a German convoy was heavily bombed by R. A. F. squad- rons and it appeared that at least one vessel had been hard hit—and English coastal batteries bombarded a covev ot eight German torpedo boats which maneuvered along the French shore, Across the Dover Strait. British pilots went into heavy action agamst a new lonz range gun brought up by the Nazis alongside their sixth battery near Cap Gris Ne: Kiel Naval Base Attacked. All this—a visual evidence to the people of coastal England of the heightening tempo of the British counter-attack—followed assaults in which the R. A. F. had winged afar over Nazi territory, spreading bombs inland in Germany and over hun- dreds of miles of the Nazi front One of the most important ob- Jjectives thus far attacked, in raids of last night and early this morn- ing. was the vital German naval | base at Kiel, where shipbuilding vards were declared to have been left in flames.

Dutch Harbors Bombed. Boulogne, among the other Nazi- held ports assaulted, still was over- hung by smoke this afternoon as was Cap Gris Nez, site ot heavy German artillery. Bombed, too, as they had been so often before, the ministry said, were the Dutch har- bors of Amsterdam and Den Hel- der—the latter an old Dutch naval base—and the Belgian ports of Os- tend and Antwerp. The campaign followed familiar lines: British bombers concentrated again, aside from their attacks on the Nazi springboards to invasion, on German oil supplies—in Ham- burg, Hanover, Reizholz and else- where—and on war materials facto- ries “in various industrial centers.” Despite the continuing success they claimed for the British com- mand’s strategy—which is based on- " (See OFFENSIVE, Page A-4) set lohn Roosevelt Would Stump State for Father B) the Associated Press.

HORNER. Only a strong and “many-sided” defense system, embracing the “fullest practicable” co-operation with friendly nations. can preserve American security against the drive of Germany. Italy and Japan for “steadily expanding conquest.” Sec- retary of State Hull declared last night In his first public address since announcement of the Berlin-Rome- Tokio alliance last month, Mr. Hull denounced the “protagonists of con- quest” in unusually plain language and warned against any “delusion” that they might be appeased short of degrading all mankind into a “master-and-slave relationship.” Carefully drafted over a period of two weeks to make clear the ne- cessity for a ‘“vigorous” foreign policy in the face of what he termed the gravest danger to confront the United. States from without since it won independence, Mr Hull's ad- dress was delivered to the National Press Club at a dinner in his honor and broadcast nationally over a N B C. network “Our system of defense must, of necessity, be many-sided. because the dangers against which safe- guards are imperatively required are manifold,” the Secretary as- serted. ¢ 'Essential to effective na- tional defense are constant and skillful use of political. and eco- nomic measures, possession of mili- tary weapons, and continuous exer- cise of wisdom and high moral qualities.” Aid to Others as Defense. Among defense necessit¥es in addi- tion to a strong Army and Navy, he listed plans for joint action with Latin-American republics and Canada, assistance in the form of supplies to such nations as Grea: Britain and China. and measures to_stamp out subversive activities Pointing out that the conquest- bent nations “cynically disregard” all neutral rights and “then proceed to warn all peaceful nations that they must remain strictly neutral uatil an invading force is actually crossing their borders,” Mr. Hull said any contention that this country should not aid those resisting the aggressors is equivalent “to a deny- ing of the inalienable right of self- defense.” “As an important means - of strengthening our own defense and of preventing attack on any part of the Western Hemisphere,” he explained. “this country is affording all feasible facilities for the obtain- ing of supplies by nations which, while defending themselves against barbaric attack. are checking the spread of violence and are thus reducing the danger to us. We in- tend to continue doing this to the greatest practicable extent.” Outlines Dictators’ Role. After outlining briefly the roles played by Germany, Italy and Japan in the “epidemic of callous disregard of international commit- ments” which began with the Japa- nese occupation of Manchuria in 1931, Mr. Hull declared: “The appalling tragedy of the present world situation lies in the fact that peacefully disposed na- tions failed to recognize in time the true nature” of the aims of “a small group of national rulers who have succeeded in transforming their peoples into forceful instruments for widespread domination by con- quest.” Peaceful countries permitted them- selves to “be lulled into a false sense of security by the assurances made by these rulers that their aims were limited.” he continued. while “these rulers and their satellites” masked the "monstrous deception” by brand=- ing as war mongers and imperialists “all who warned against the clearly emerging dangers.” Outspoken Denunciation. In his most outspoken denuncia- tion of the dictators, the Secretary said “The rulers of these Nations have repudiated and violated in every essential respect the long-accepted principles of peaceful and orderly international relations. “Merciless armed attack; " (See HULL, Page A-5.) unre- Japanese Fail to Close Burma Road, Chinese Say By the Associated Press.

HENRY. President Roosevelt takes to the high road tomorrow in immediate quest of 63 electoral votes pos- sessed by the States of New York and New Jerseyv. The journey, with its effective “working time"” concentrated in 15 crowded hours to be climaxed by a speech from Madison Square Gar-! den tomorrow night, will open the last full week before election that calls for Mr. Roosevelt to visit at least five States (worth a total of 114 electoral votes) and to make at least seven speeches. It is quite probable that more States and more speeches will be imposed upon this program. ° In brief, the Monday schedule follows: Mr. Roosevelt will leave his train in the early morning at Newark where thousands of voters and a large delegation of local political potentates are expected. After an inspection of the nearby Federal Shipbuiiding and Drydock Co. yards. where sizable Government ship con- tracts are in force, the President will motor through several other Jersey communities to get to Staten Island.

A speaking stop is planned at the site for starting the new Brooklyn- Battery tunnel and after lunching at Hunter College and riding some more, .the second speech of the day will be delivered before an.R.

Oct. 26 —The an- nouncement by John L. Lewis. C. 1. O. chieftain. of his support for Wendell L. Willkie for President. the most sensational feature of the campaign since Mr. Willkie came gom behind to win the G. Q. P. nomination and President Roosevelt agreed to run for a third term. today helped to make more complex a political situation in New Jersey already muddled by conflicting cur- rents. This State is a desperate battle- ground. with the edge to Mr. Roose- velt, an edge, however. which the Willkieites may overcome by elec- tion day. Their principal stumbling block in New Jersey is the labor vote. Now. with Mr. Lewis as the head and forefront of a battering ram. the Republicans will give the next 10 days to an intensive cam- paign in industrial centers. They believe that already they have won to the Willkie cause the huge “commuter vote” in the northern counties. They believe that they have made great inroads in the so-called white collar group—the clerks and stenographers and the middle class group. They believe, too. that a large percentage of the Italian-American vote—a big bloc of votes in this State—is going along with them. First Reaction Violent. The first reaction to Mr. Lewis’ denunciation of President Roosevelt and support of Mr. Willkie was a violent outburst from some of the C. 1. O. leaders—and of course of the A. F. L. leaders—in this State. Many unions had earlier in the campaign given their indorsement to the Roosevelt candidacy. However, here and there a C. I. O. leader was found who either took sides with Mr. Lewis or withheld any comment whatever. For example, C. I. Q.'s Greater Newark Industrial Council was | warned earlier this week it must go along with Mr. Roosevelt or with- draw from labor's Non-Partisan League. It refused to do either, and was commended by Mr. Lewis for its stand. William J. Carney, State regional director for the C. I. O, said today he had listened to the | Lewis speech and he had no com- ment. Among the New Jersey labor lead- ers who promptly and unqualifiedly | denounced Mr. Lewis was Carl Hol- derman, State Chairman of Labor's | Non-partisan League of New Jer- | sey. “In my opinion,” he said, “he | (Lewis) ought to retire if Roosevelt | 77 (See LINCOLN, Page A-1.) |Arrest of Herriot |Reported in Bern By the Associated Press.- BERN, Switzerland, Oct. 26—A | Rome dispatch to the Swiss Tele- | graphic Agency said tonight that | tormer Chamber of Deputies, had | been reported arrested somewhere 1A unoceupied Fran b .

TEN CENTS ‘DivideandRule’ Is New Deal Aim, Willkie Charges Democrats Accused Of Promoting Fights Between Classes (Text of Willkie's speech, Pg. A-15.) By the Associated Press NEW YORK. Oct. 26 —Wendell L. Willkie charged tonight the New Deal doctrine was one of “divide and rule” and pledged that if he were elected President he would call to his cabinet “the ablest men that can be found” to “unite” the Nation In four addresses in Brooklyn anc Queens, before departing for a swing down the Upper Mississippi Valles the Republican presidential nominee said, “Our doctrine is the doctrin® of unite and serve” A crowd estimated by police more than 50,000 heard him spea earlier in the day at the New Yorx World's Fair The Roosevelt administration, Mr Willkie sajd in his final stop in Brooklyn just before midnight “bears the bitterness of many of the leaders of labor. of agriculture and of incustry.” Mr. Willkie said he had the confidence of leaders in ail three groups To Choose “Able Men.” 1 an earlier Brooklyn stop said that in picking his cabinet he would choose for Secretary of State “the ablest man I can find in all th broad land to help me guide national policy.’ He made the main address of tir evening at Jamaica High where he was greeted with shouts o: “We want Willkie.” Asserting there had been f in recent years “groups with spe- cial hatreds—racial. religious and political hatreds,” Mr. Willkie ac- cused the New Deal of under to “govern America by playing off each of these groups against the other.” “It has encouraged labor to fight capital and encouraged capital to attack labor.” the candidate said ‘It has even encouraged labor to fight labor. “It has created the farm problem as a separate problem. as if the farmers were somewhere on an island by themselves Charged Communists on Pay Roll. “It has kept in W ington, on our pay roll. men who do not be- lieve i our form of government— Communists and near-Communists and neo-Communists and pseudo- Communists and their dupes “It has divided our youth from us by preaching the doctrine that America can no longer grow That, said Mr. Wilkie, was “the issue between the New Deal and the cause I represent.” After speaking at the fair and later driving through lanes of ap- plauding spectators in Times Square he attended the Fordham-St. Mary's football game the Polo Grounds In his Jamal¥a address Mr. Will- kie said he was the only presidential candidate “who can unite all the elements of American life in one common cause.” If elected. he said he would call to service “the ablest men that can be found.” “We will not have political pup- pets about.” he said. “We will pick men to represent labor who come from the ranks and who know labor’s needs. “We will pick men to represent agriculture who are real farmers and know the farmer’s needs. “We will pick men who know in- dustry, and know finance. and men who are familiar with our political problems. “And we don't want an Attorney | General to lisp a following acquies- ! cence in a fine-spun leg:1 way. We want an Attorney General who will render sound opinions on the Con- stitution and the laws of the land as they are. whether or not they serve my ends.” To Retain Defense Leaders. He said that “our administration™ would centralize responsibility for | the defense program “so long—and only so long” as the defense emer- gency lasted “Many able men who understand production are now serving the cause of defense in Washington.' Mr. Willkie said. “These we will re- tain.
