PRODUCTION FOR WAR

BASIS LAID DOWN

JOINT ORGANISATION

IMMEDIATE RESULTS

(By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright.) LONDON, August 15. It is generally believed that there will be immediate and material results from the dramatic meeting of Mr. Churchill and President Roosevelt. The diplomatic correspondent of the "Daily Mail" says the meetingfixed the basis of a comprehensive war production plan, ensuring- 100 per cent, efficiency for Britain's military, naval, and air strategy, America's role for the present being to remain the arsenal of Democracy. A joint organisation of British and American experts to co-ordinate the production in the United States of the requirements of Britain and Russia will be announced shortly. "The Times," in an editorial, says Mr. Churchill's crossing of the Atlantic in the midst of a military blizzard may well accelerate the elimination of Hitler and his imitators. The value of the declaration is immense. It is recognised that the economic foundations of peace are as important as the political, or even more so. Referring to Japan, "The Times" says the Japanese are certainly included among the "others" whose policy of domination by conquest constitutes "a danger to world civilisation. In no other part of the world is collaboration between the United States and the British Empire more essential than in the Far East.
