WILL FIGHT ON
REGARDLESS OF EXTENT OF U.S. AID
BRITISH PEOPLE
"NO PEACE WITH MAD DOG" <
WASHINGTON. May 30
Lord Halifax said that Britain would "fight on" regardless of the extent of United States aid, because "there can be no peace with a mad dog."
This referred to reports that Britain was ready to conclude a separate peace unless the United States entered the war quickly.
Lord Halifax warmly praised President Roosevelt's speech, which, he said, had heartened Britain. Lord Halifax emphasised, however, that Britain was depending on the aid of the United States, and added that the plans to train British pilots in the United States were immeasurably helpful.
He said he was not familiar with Mr. Eden's speech on war aims, but he was sure that, in speaking of keeping Germany powerless to wage another war, Mr. Eden referred only to military restrictions.
Lord Halifax predicted that the ultimate peace will be made by Britain, the United States, the Latin American nations, and "those who wish to remain free."—U.P.A.
