British See American Pledge To Aid in Policing World. .

thought that a “leak” permitting speculation as to whether Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Churchill were meeting was intentional—sufficient to act as a red light to Japan, particularly. The meeting at sea has been described as the world’s worstkept secret because of the leak. A moral obligation on the part of the United States to help shape a “better world” after aiding in the overthrow of Naziism was seen by British sources today as a result of the meeting of President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Winston Churchill at sea. British circles also took the position that Point 8 in the joint British - American statement implied

: {that the United States would be

prepared, after world disarmament, to join in aiding whatever system might be set up for policing the world. Points 6 and 8 in the joint declaration—concerning post-war aims and policy—were regarded here as most significant, but it was also | pointed out that the statement in- | directly suggested an offer for Japan to abandon aggressive tactics in return for a promise of open world markets. The various points, in order of importance, were compared to Woodrow Wilson's famous 14 points {but it was believed that certain aspects of the declaration would be sharply criticized in liberal circles here.

Criticism Expected

|signed to counteract Axis propaganda regarding the alleged encirclement of the Axis powers, particularly Japan, and the compiaints of the “have not” countries. The value of this pledge, however, was reduced in ‘the eyes of some British observers by the qualifying phrase that this would be “with due respect for existing obligations™— probably meaning such obligations as the Ottawa preference system and the American high tariffs. Point eight was believed sure to meet With criticism on the grounds {that it proposed unilateral disarmament in the spirit of Versailles. This criticism, however, seems blunted somewhat by declarations in the final sentence pledging measures lighten the armaments burden of peace-loving peoples.

EVEN SCRIBES GET A THRILL

Make Wild Dash for Offices When Early Breaks News Of Meeting.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.—The official solution to the greatest American mystery of the year— where were President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill, and what did they do?—was handed to a

tense group of newspapermen at 8:39 a. m. today. \ The two leaders had conferred at sea not once but several times, thg, White House informed a group of about 50 newspapermen assembled in the office of Stephen T. Early, the President's press secretary. Although probably 49, of the 50 reporters had a pretty solid idea of what was coming, the announcement created considerable excitement among men who seldom get very excited. Everybody On Time A half hour before the appointed time the newsmen began assembling in the broa ldobby of the west wing of the White House, in the center of which is the ornately carved table from the Philippine Islands. \ , Shortly after midnight last night, Mr. Early had announced that the statement—whatever it was—would

be ready between 8:30 and 9 o'clock. They were ushered into

the reporters of the condition under which the statement was being released. He gave them the choice of remaining in his office until 9 a.m, or returning to their offices with copies of the statement and the understanding that it not be transmitted hefore 9 o'clock.

Leave in a Hurry

The reporters took the latter ble to get out of his office. “There is plenty of time,” Mr. Early admonished eager grabbers. “Don’t rush.” Nobody paid much attention to that suggestion. By 9:05 a. m. the White House was almost as deserted as it had been during the days since Aug. 3 ‘when Mr. Roosevelt started the fishing trip that became a nine-day mystery thriller. If this was “war's worst kept secret” in London, as some dis- | patches quipped, it was the “best kept” in Washington.

Well-Kept Secret

London advices suggested that newspapermen there had been able [to learn in advance a good deal more than the censors had permitted them to tell. But in Washington, where “secrets” often leak out one way or another in a short time, this one was well-guarded to the last. For days, observers had been able only to make guesses from a smattering of known facts—the disappearance from London of Mr. Churchill and U. S. Lend-Lease Administrator Harry L. Hopkins: | the disappearance from Washing[ton of some key men; the ambiguity of the messages from the President's yacht Potomac.

High Officials in Dark

Some of the highest officials in the land were known to have grumbled to colleagues that they, like the public, had been left in the dark as to where the President was and what he was doing. Congressional figures tended to | discount, almost to the last, the idea that anything unusual was afoot. The House voted to take itself a holiday, beginning this week-end and lasting until Sept. 18. The:Senate arranged for a somewhat shorter breathing spell. Speaker Sam Rayburn arranged to leave the city { Friday and Democratic Leader John W. McCormack planned to go home to Boston Saturday. Now there may or may not be a change in Congressional schedules.

‘Propaganda,’ Germans Claim BERLIN, Aug. 14 (U. P). —

Authorized quarters said today that the Rooseveli-Churchill meeting was ‘propaganda bluff.” The meeting was compzred with today’s special war communiques alleging great German victories in the Western Ukraine, “Compared with the new Roose-velt-Churchill propaganda bluff, which dishes up the same old well= known wares which have been displayed a thousand times, these reports (the German communiques) represent actual significant facts,” authorized quarters said.

I e I 2 % Peace Aims' Are Similar . ! ! * 1 To Wilson's '14 Points By UNITED PRESS : The joint declaration of Anglo-American ‘peace aims” by President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Winston Churchill of Great Britain is similar in several respects to

the famous “Fourteen Points” enunciated by President Woodrow Wilson during the first World War.

Freedom of the Seas

PRESIDENT WILSON: “Absolute freedom of navigation upon the seas, outside territorial waters, alike in peace and in war, except as the seas may be closed in whole or in part by international action

for the enforcement of international covenants.’

ROOSEVELT CHURCHILL: “Such a peace should enable all men to traverse the high seas and oceans without hindrance.”

Economic Barriers

PRESIDENT WILSON: “The removal, so far as possible, of all economic barriers and the establishment of an equality of trade conditions among all the nations consenting to the peace and associating themselves for its mantenance.”

ROOSEVELT CHURCHILL: “They will endeavor, with due respect for their existing obligations, to further the enjoyment by all states, great or small, victor or vanquished, of access, on equal terms, to the trade and to the raw materials of the world which are needed for their economic prosperity; they desire to bring about the fullest collaboration between all nations in the economic field with the object of securing, for all, improved labor standards, economic advancement and social security.”

Self-Determination PRESIDENT WILSON: “A free,

claims, based upon a

sovereignty the interests of the populations concerned must have

equal weight with the equitabie |

claims of the government whose title is to be determined.” ROOSEVELT - CHURCHILL: “They respect the right of all peoples to choose the form of government under which they will live; and they wish to see sovereign rights and self government restered to those who have been forcibly deprived of them.”

Disarmament

PRESIDENT WILSON: quate guarantees given and taken that national armaments will be reduced to the lowest point consistent with domestic safety.” ROOSEVELT = CHURCHILL: “They will likewise aid and encourage all other practicable measures which will lighten for peace-loving peoples the crushing burden of armaments.

“Ade- |

Collective Security

PRESIDENT WILSON: “A general association of nations must

be formed under specific covenants’ for the purpose of affording mu-. tual guarantees of political inde=-' pendence and territorial integrity! to great and small states alike.”

ROOSEVELT ~ CHURCHILL: “They believe that all of the na-. tions of the world, for realistic as’ well as spiritual reasons, must’ come to the abandonment of the. use of force! Since no future’ peace can be maintained if land," sea or air armaments continue to: be employed by nations which: threaten, or may threaten, aggres=: sion outside of their frontiers,’ they believe, pending the estab-" lishment of a wider and perma--nent system of general security, that the disarmament of such nations is essential.” ‘ ;

Peace

PRESIDENT WILSON: “Open covenants of peace, openly arrived at, after which there shall be no private international understandings of any kind but: diplomacy shall proceed always frankly and in the public view.” ROOSEVELT CHURCHILL: “After the final destructian of the Nazi tyranny, they hope to see. established a peace which will afford to all nations the means of dwelling in safety within their own boundaries, and which will afford assurance that all the men in all the lands may live out their lives in freedom from fear and want.” Eight of President Wilson's 14 points were specific proposals for settling specific problems of national sovereignty and interna= tional boundaries. The Roosevelt= Churchill declaration was limited to general statements and did not name individual nations. The first two points in the Roosevelt - Churchill declaration were implicity in the 14 points. They were: } “Their countries seek no age _ grandizement, territorial or other; “They desire to see no territorial changes that do not accord with the freely expressed wishes of the peoples coneerned.” ¢
