Comment, Pro And Con, Heard'
On Eight Points In Washington
WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.-(/P)-The
Roosevelt-Churchill pronouncement
of peace aims was warmly praised by
the Administration's' supporters in
Congress-and some of its critics-
but others among the opponents of
the President's policies asked wheth-
er it constituted an alliance with Bri-
tain.
One of the latter group, Senator
McCarran (Dem.-Nev.), asserted the
declaration was made "on the un-
warranted assumption that the Unit-
ed States is a belligerent in this war.
It is tantamount to a declaration of
war by this country which is the pro-
vince of Congress only."
Senator Brooks (Rep.-Ill.), who has
criticized many Administration moves
in the field of forgein affairs, com-
mented, however, "the statement
sounds very much like a preliminary
bid for peace-which I believe an
overwhelming majority of the Ameri-
can people woud welcome, providing
it is a genuine bid for peace and not
a camouflage to move us into the
war."
Senator Bridges (Rep.-N.H.) de-
clared "it's healthy thing that such
a conference was held and that post
war aims of the two great Anglo-
Saxon nations are made known at
this time."
Chairman Connally (Dem.-Tex.)
of the Senate Foreign Relations Com-
mittee said the statement embodied
"principles of noble and lofty concep-
tion with which I feel sure the people
of the United States will agree"; Sen-
ate Majority Leader Barkley declared
it "will be well received by all peo-
ples resisting aggression," and Speak-
er Rayburn called it a "very sane
statement" which "expressed a great
and laudable hope."
Among those who viewed' the pro-
nouncement as definitely allying this
country with Britain was Representa-
tive Short (Dem.-Mo.). "I don't like
these secret, undercover agreements,"
he told reporters. "The President has
no authority to form such an alliance.
He shouldn't gamble with the destiny
of 130,000,000 people and keep them
in the dark about it."
Outside of Congress, comment in-
cluded an assertion by Norman Thom-
as: Socialist and anti-intervention
eader, that President Roosevelt, by,
a joint declaration of war aims with
a belligerent, had committed this
country to war.
Former President Herbert Hoover
woud make no formal comment, but
observed in an interview at Montrose,
Col., that "only one viewpoint, ap-
parently, is acceptable to the inter-
ventionists.'"
sis of the German-Russian conflict
is shaping up into the battle of Odes-
sa, the Roosevelt-Churchill state-
ment takes first place in the war
news.
The chosen leaders of the British
and American peoples proclaim their
solidarity in the matter of post-war
aims. As for the current struggle
they grimly imply there can be no
peace with Hitler or Hitlerism on any
terms.
There have been widespread whis-
pers in Europe that Hitler, at some1
point in his Russian campaign and
before winter sets in to stalemate
the war there, would launch a peace
offensive. If so, he has been an-
swered in advance so far as the
President and Prime Minister are
concerned.
Part Of War-Of-Nerves
The Roosevelt-Churchill sea meet-
ing was definitely a part of the war-
of-nerves. It goes without saying the
meeting was designed to impress up-
on Hitler's Japanese Axis mate and
upon the Vichy regime in France the
grim determination of the English
and American leaders not to be di-
verted from their main objective by
stamping out Hitlerism whenever it
shows itself.
There is also an open oid to the
German people to throw off the Hit-
ler yoke. It comes specifically in
point four of the joint declaration,
pledging the endeavor of the authors
and the governments for which they
spoke to secure economic equality
of opportunity to "all states, great
or small, victor or vanquished."
Attempt To Undermine
That is an obvious attempt to un-
dermine Hitler on his home front.
His greatest appeal to many Ger-
mans known to view his Nazi regime
with distrust is the argument that
Britain, with American backing, is
out to destroy Germany as a nation;
to dismember and utterly disarm it
economically as well as militarily.
American observers of ,long resi-
dence in Germany and only recently
returned say Nazi propagandists
have made much of that argument
to induce dissenting elements in Ger-
many to accept the Hitler-made war.
They have seen little prospect, how-
ever, that serious public opposition
,to Hitler or to his ever-widening war
program can arise in a nation under
the heel of the Nazi police system.
