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. - -d ,, U P, D O W N-Mild-man- nered Cardinals' Manager Bill Southworth (above) whose team has been see-sawing with the Dodgers for National League su- premacy, contrasts sharply in temperament with the Brooklyn mentor, IUppy Leo Durocher.
