BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, Nov. 9.-Prime Minis
ter Churchill described the re-elec-
ton of President Roosevelt and the
assurance of greater aid from the
United States as a message of great
encouragement and good cheer" to-
day, but he left no doubt in British
minds of the big job ahead.
Ard even as he spoke in praise OF
tsis Greeks and Of the succession
of melancholy disasters and terrible
assaults and perils" which Britain
has suffered, there was noticeable
In London an undercurrent of I'M
sasiness over Turkeys position to-
ward the Italian-Greek conflict.
Addresses Luncheon Gathering.
In the first official expression of
British satisfaction at the result of
the United States election Tuesday
Mr.. Churchill addressed luncheon
gathering which marked the eleva-
ton OF new Lord Mayor of Lon
don. 1t was function marked by
all the traditional pre-war color
and attended by a distinguished
company which included the Arch
bishop of Canterbury.
I'VE offer our heartfelt congratu-
lations to President Roosevelt, who
has received an unprecedented mark
Of American confidence in being
chosen for the third time to lead his
mighty people forward" Mr.. Church.
Ill said.
1--WE shall now receive the sup
port of the products of the gigantic
munitions productions and the
matchless workshops, furnaces and
foundries of the American union. u,
AL parties in America" the
prime minister declared, had pro-
claimed Britain's successful resist
ance and final victory"
I'VE are straining every nerve to
accelerate our production and i do
not doubt that we shall succeed.
Sea Power \ Necessity.
THE enemy is doing his utmost
to cut us of from the vital supplies
overseas. Therefore, the mainte-
nance of our sea power is an abso-
lutte necessity to our victory.
There Is one small heroic country
to whom our thoughts go out in SYM
pathy and admiration-Greece. To
the valiant Greek people we send
from the heart of London our prom
Use to them that we will do our best
to aid them in their struggle.
I'VE will never cease to strike at
the aggressor in eyer-increasing
strength from this time forth.
ut Is now nine months since the
King and Parliament confided in
me and my colleagues the grave and
heavy tasks to which we have de-
voted ourselves. 1t is lucky we did
not make any extravagant or opti-
mistic promises. Because a success
sion of melancholy disasters and
terrible assaults and perils have be-
fallen us .. Between survival
and victory there is a long road to
travel. In spite of all the blows we
have endured, we have not aban-
doned one jot OF any of our obliga-
tons and undertakings toward the
captive or enslaved countries of
Europe"
Touched BY Willkie Promises.
Mr.. Churchill also said the British
were deeply touched" by the words
Of kindness and good will and prom
Uses of aid" spoken by Wendell L.
Willkie, Republican presidential
candidate.
The growing disquiet over Tur-
keys attitude moved one diplomatic
source to say:
Diplomacy counts for as much as
force in the Near East, but all we
have received from Turkey as a re-
suit of our efforts is the assurance
that the Turks are our friends. Their
friendship, however, apparently
balks at action"
