(Sf btlow. HISTORIC MEETING A DtcUrttion.) HISTORIC MEETING: A Declaration After a lecret meeting at tea, President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Min-ister Churchill of Great Britain, Issued and signed a joint declaration declara-tion of general war alms. This declaration in Its introduction introduc-tion explained that two men, "being met together, deem it right to make known certain common principles in the national policies of their respective re-spective countries on which they base their hopes for a better future for the world." The declaration then went on to outline the sort of world that would be sought following the end of the war. In its eight point text, the message expressed in a general way the foreign policy of the present U. S. administration and from the British point of view it was most concrete statement of war aims yet disclosed by that government In the opening point of the declaration dec-laration it was declared that neither the U. S. nor Britain sought "aggrandizement, "ag-grandizement, territorial, or other." In the next and following points the ideals expressed included: the right of all peoples to choose their own form of government; a system of world trade working to the benefit of all nations; a desire for "fullest collaboration between all nations If the economic field"; "after the final destruction of Nazi tyranny" hope was expressed for a peace in which all nations could exist in safety and "traverse the high seas . . . without with-out hindrance"; and finally, a plea for the abandonment of the use of force between nations of the world. This historic document and meeting, meet-ing, when they were announced, ended end-ed two weeks of rumors about the possibility of the men meeting. No sooner had the President left Washington Wash-ington on what was announced to be a short vacation cruise before the speculation and guessing began to sweep through this country and England. Churchill was said to be absent from London on pertinent "war matters." " For five days no direct word as to the President's whereabouts was available to the U. S. public. Then came word that an announcement was to be made. It was reported that at the meetings meet-ings (there were several conferences) confer-ences) high ranking army and naval officials of both countries were present pres-ent From the White House came a statement that they had examined ' "the whole problem of the supply of munitions of war." DRAMA: In Washington It was high drama, that passage of the bill which makes the service of selectees, guardsmen and regulars regu-lars 18 months more than they signed up for. The closeness of the vote, 203 to 202. was part of it but the suddenness sudden-ness with which it came, the bitterness bitter-ness of the press and forensic fight on the measure, gave the battle bat-tle its punch and severity. The climax came when the calm voice of Speaker Sam Rayburn announced an-nounced the totals, a victory for the administration by one vote. This was met by a tumult in galleries gal-leries and on floor of almost indescribable inde-scribable excitement : - It had been one of those things thut no one could have predicted, and in which both sides felt sure "of "victofyufiW"nieloT3Ts5d"Se announced. As the count grew late, low and apprehensive whistles were heard tUom 4be..jramber'-4 conee ,-as... the vote balanced and then unbalanced unbal-anced each other. The vote found the widest split of delegations in many a year. There wore" 182 'Democrats for the measure meas-ure and 21 Republicans; G5 Democrats Demo-crats and 133 Republicans against. 14 paired and 14 not voting This vole did something that legislation leg-islation seldom does, in giving each representative a keen realization of the value of his single vote. 7 f PRIME MINISTER CHURCHILL came en eight-point joint declaration of COLLABORATION: Vichy-Nazi Pact Coming at a moment when the Russo-German war was in its most critical stage, and at a time when the Japanese situation wes at a sort of peak crisis, the Vichy-Nazi rapprochement rap-prochement ending in an upset of the government's policy of limited collaboration, and putting the high ly anti-British Darlan practically at the helm of French affairs was a sensation Indeed. It was one of those sensations of the type that "we knew all along was going to happen, but it was still a major shock when It happened." hap-pened." One was forced to look at the matter mat-ter both from the British-American viewpoint however, and from the viewpoint largely a matter of one's imagination, of Marshal Petain himself. Preparatory articles had been written by escaped Frenchmen quoting the record of Pe tain's career ca-reer to show that he had been both obstructionist and defeatist in the last war, and not at all the hero that early histories had painted. His collapse, therefore, was not unexpected in wiser quarters, and yet a double analysis of his reasons was possible, one perhaps more charitable to the old man himself, the other perhaps a more realistic summation of the whole affair. . Petain, one might say, viewing the impossible situation of France, was making a complete surrender to Germany's demands, hoping for and betting on an eventual German victory, vic-tory, and at the same time expecting ex-pecting that when the debacle and reorganization of Europe might come, France would get some crumbs from the conqueror's table. History Will Tell That was the realistic view of the situation, and the one most generally general-ly accepted in Britain. More charitable char-itable was the thought that Petain, working for France in a country already al-ready vanquished, and with Laval and Darlan, both friendly to the Nazis, at his side, had no other course than to surrender and those so viewing his act expressed the hope that Petain was secretly wishing wish-ing for a complete resistance to German occupation of French colonies col-onies and bases by the Weygand forces. Whichever might turn out to be the factual reason, the eventuality was the same, for few doubted but that the French fleet barring British preventive measures, perhaps aid ed by the United States, would be placed at Hitler's disposal for some move in the western Mediterranean. Perhaps, it was said, full collaboration collabo-ration was a prerequisite to an all-out all-out invasion attempt on the part of Germany, and, if successful, a complete com-plete German victory. That In sum, was Petain's dream, jay the British, when he addressed ad-dressed his people over the radio and said: "Frenchmen, I have grave things to tell you!"

ORIENT: Japan Committed The report that the Japanese had landed 180,000 men in Indo-China and that most of these would be concentrated con-centrated on the Thai frontier, was taken in British circles to mean that the Japs were committed to invasion, and that when it started, Britain would find herself fighting on a new front What sounded very much like an ultimatum to Nippon was described in dispatches from Melbourne, which stated with positlveness that Britain and the United States had informed the Japanese that they must inform the two countries "whether she agrees to forego her policy of expansion ex-pansion southward," and that a reply re-ply was insisted upon within a stipulated stipu-lated time. Russia's answer to Japanese objections ob-jections to the use of the Siberian port of Vladivostok for lend-lease ships from America was that Russia intends to convoy such shipments with naval vessels, producing another an-other eastern danger point. The Russians also demanded that Japan sign a non-aggression pact without reservations. The report of Japanese occupation occupa-tion with 180,000 troops came from Manila, a source which also stated that the British are forming in considerable con-siderable force along the Malayan and Burmah borders of Thailand, ready to move in if they feel Japanese Japa-nese invasion is a certainty. SLASH: In Army F und Of considerable significance in the Washington scene was the fact that the senate appropriations committee commit-tee made emergency history by slashing more than a billion and a quarter dollars from the army appropriation ap-propriation bill, the first defense appropriation ap-propriation amount that has not passed with a "rubber stamp" regularity. reg-ularity. The committee, headed by Senator Sena-tor Glass of Virginia, made the cut by unanimous vote. The cut amount ed to 17.3 per cent of the amount asked, a substantial slice indeed. The house already had passed the bill on July 28, and had sent it to the senate with the inclusion of an item of $1,347,000,000 for tanks, and for anti-tank and anti-aircraft guns. Undersecretary of War Robert Patterson had personally urged the inclusion of this Hem. It was, he said, "essential to the army if the United States was to move into armed conflict." The senate committee, having slashed $1,347,000,000 by disapprov ing this item, then turned around and added $112,000,000 to the bill, thus making the net cut $1,235,000.- 000. The main facts about the request ed appropriation were kept from the public as military secrets, but it was known that the amount asked was for equipment for "over and above" an army of 3.000,000 men. In other words, this number of men could be equipped with tanks, anti-tank and anti-aircraft guns through appropriations already O.K.'d. but the committee turned thumbs down on the additional equipment to go beyond the 3,000,000-man 3,000,000-man figure. -; The.- figures -called tut .1600. medium me-dium tanks; 1.500 li'ht tanks, and tht the "biggest item" was for anti-aircraft guns, and that 1.000 of thr-rc were-tf-Mve- -( -? 7 men caliber CHANNEL: .Plane.
