ARE Willkie Nomination Will Irk Dictators

LONDON, June 28" (Reuter), The nomination of Mr. Wen dell Willkde by the Republican Convention at Philadelphia is regarded in informed circles in London as a direct blow to Hitler.

Ever since the war began, the Nazi propaganda machine in the United States has done every- thing in its power to strengthen Isolationist sentiment in Ameri- en, but despite all its efforts, it has met with a major setback.

The nomination of a candidate so friendly to the enuse of democracy In Europe as Mr. Willkle has shown himselt to be must be a source of great pleasure to Britain.
