Solid Declaration Against Peace With Hitler Eight Points Will Become National

Policy

A SOLID DECLARATION AGAINST ANY *NEGOTIATED PEACE WITH HITLER WAS 'GIVEN BY PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT YESTER- DAY IN A SPECIAL MESSAGE TO CONGRESS, REPORTING ON HIS EPOCH-MAKING MEET- (ING AT SEA WITH MR. CHURCHILL.

The President said that the declaration of principles agreed upon there were so clear cut that they would be difficult to oppose "without automatically admitting willingness to accept a compromise."

These principles, he added, also would be hard to oppose without admitting willingness to agree to a world peace which would give to Nazismo domination over large numbers of conquered nations.”

"Inevitably," said the Presi- dent. "such a peace would be a gift to Nazism to take а breath
