The rest of the tour, made by car, gave Mr Willkie an oppor-
tunity of seeing the effects of the S'HAI ELECTION

At a press conference, Mr Willkle stated that the impression formed by his tour of Coventry led him to believe that the destrucllon described In American newspapers had not been exaggerated. He was greatly impressed by the high morate shown by the citizens and had seen no evidence of depressed spirits or OI giving.up.

Referring to the damage in Bir mingham, Mr Willkle was surprised at its extent, "but the reconstruction I have seen put into operation is a perfect example of how a city can recover."
