A MESSAGE TO CONGRESS

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 Nazism domination over large numbers of conquered nations."

"Inevitably," said the Pres!- dent, such a peace would be a gift to Nazism to takę a breath

PRES ROOSEVELT

FOLLOWS HIS OWN PRECEDENT

BY INFORMING Congress officially of his talks with Mr. Churchill, President Roose- velt has followed the practice he established in the case of the American ship “Robin Moor" namely telling legislators of the ac- tion taken and the policy pursued.

As on the previous occasion his message calls for no action but it undoubtedly will be approved by Congress.

After that the eight points will be national policy rather than just Administration policy
