WASHINGTON. Aug. 25 (U. PJ). —President Roosevelt today nominated Solicitor General Francis Riddle as Attorney-General to succeed Robert H. Jackson, now an associate justice of the Supreme Court.

U, S.-JAP PEACE TALK REVEALED

Churchill Says Britain Will Back U. S. if Present Negotiations Fail. By LUDWELL DENNY

Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.—Prime

The remainder of the report was a more vivid repetition of the earlier joint declaration on the Atlantic conference; with emphasis on Anglo-American unity and Anglo-American determination to disarm Germany after the war, while remaining armed themselves.

With: characteristic bluntness, the Prime Minister asked the question which is the constant hope of most | Britons and the constant fear of {most Americans: « How near is the United States to war? But his answer lacked the usual Churchillian forthrightness.

He neither reaffirmed his former pledge—"give us the tools and we will finish the job”—nor joined his franker generals, Wavell and Auchinleck, in asserting the British desire for an American Expeditionary Force. While silent on whether the Churchill-Roosevelt agreement contemplates eventual American shooting aid, he put the responsibility on Hitler as “one man who knows” whether the United States is near war. Pointing out that Hitler has refrained from declaring war on us, not because of love or lack of pretext, but in fear of doubling his adversaries, the Prime Minister stressed the Nazis’ basic method of attacking “one by one.” Unlike his evasion regarding British desire for an A, E. F. the Churchill statement on Japan was the frankest yet. As recently as the ChurchillRoosevelt joint declaration it was considered expedient to omit specific reference to Japan as an aggressor —an omission so startling, in view of the record and of the Axis partnership, that it had wide repercussions abroad and here, While the obvious intent was to leave open the door for an Anglo-American-Japanese compromise peace, in contrast to the no-compromise-with-Naziism policy, the Japanese shouted “trickery.” Indirect Reference

Even as late as last Thursday, the President in his message to Congress made only an indirect reference to Asia and pointedly refrained from naming Japan. Thus the Anglo-American technique has been to counter Japan's threat by

Red Position Improves

Every day the Russians can prolong this covering action, their chances improve for preparation of a formidable front along the river itself. Kiev, pivot of the Southern Front where the Russians have made a magnificent stand, and the port of Odessa,” now called the Russian Tobruk, are conceded to be in grave jeopardy. Only on the Central Front opposite Moscow is the situation relatively stable. There the Nazis seem to be digging in and awaiting the

outcome of the contest for Leningrad which has a most important bearing on Moscow’s position. To discuss Soviet tactics is extremely difficult, for it must be remembered that no non-Russian observer in Russia has more than an approximate idea of the situation. But it is a mistake to suppose that the Russians are blind to Hitler's primary aim which is to macerate the Soviet Armies and cripple Russia as a military force.

Soviets Orderly

damage to the opposing force while at the same time sacrificing territory when necessary, rather than to submit to wholesale destruction.

Military observers speak well of the orderliness of the Soviet withdrawal, as far as they have been able to see it, and they comment also on the manner in which communications are maintained behind the front. Of course, the impwtance of cities in the path of the German attack is another factor affecting the degree of Soviet resistance.

the Russians are prepared to make enarmous sacrifices in defense of such cities as Leningrad and MosCOW.
