DOOM OF HITLER

Presaged By Meeting

(Rec. 10 a.m.) RUGBY, August 15. The "Daily Telegraph" says: "Much more than a picturesque drama lies behind the blunt statement that Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Churchill met at sea. They met upon the battlefield of the Atlantic. "It was a day presaging the doom I of Hitler when, traversing those ocean lanes which are kept open by the parallel patrols of the American and British squadrons, the leaders of the two democracies came into counsel and the ensigns of their two countries saluted each other."—B.O.W. agreement by which Britain is willing to forgo any gains." Discordant and disapproving views are also voiced. Senator P. A. McCarran (Democrat, Nevada) declared: "The statement is based on the unwarranted assumption that the United States is a belligerent. It is tantamount to a declaration of war,, which is the province of Congress." Governor Chase A. Clark, of Idaho, said: "It is very significant that our foreign policy is released from London on the radio rather than from the United States." Senator Wayland Brooks (Republican, Illinois) said he considered "the statement sounds very like a preliminary bid for peace, which the majority of the American people- will welcome, provided it is gneuine and not a camouflage moving us into war." The "New York Mirror" said:. "President Roosevelt has committed this nation to a military alliance aimed at the final destruction of Nazi tyranny." Senator D. I. Walsh (Democrat, Massachusetts), chairman of the Senate Committee on Naval Affairs, said: "The declaration commits the United States to full partnership with Britain to the bitter end. It is a commitment far beyond the President's constitutional powers."
