The text of the State Department
announcement of the Roosevelt
Churchill message to Josef Stain:
We have taken the opportunity
afforded by the consideration of the
report of Mr.. Harry Hopkins on his
return from Moscow to consult to-
gether as to how best our two coun-
tries can help your country in the
splendid defense that you are max
ing against the NaI attack. We
are at the moment cooperating to
provide you with the very maximum
of supplies that you must urgently
need. Already many shiploads have
left our shores and more will leave
in the immediate future.
We must now turn our minds to
the consideration of a more long
term policy, since there is still a
long and hard path to be traversed
before there can be won that COM
plete victory without which our ef-
forts and sacrifices would be wasted.
The war goes on upon many fronts
and before it is over there may be
further fighting fronts that will be
developed. Our resources though
immense are limited, and it must
become a question as to where and
when those resources can best be
used to further the greatest extent
our common effort. This applies
equally to manufactured war sup
plies and to raw materials.
The needs and demands of your
and our armed services can only
be determined in the light Of the
full knowledge of the many factors
which must be taken into considera-
ton in the decisions that we make
In order that all Of us may be
in q position to arrive at speedy
decisions as to the apportionment
Of our joint resources, we suggest that
we prepare for a meeting to be held
at Moscow, to which we would send
high representatives who could dis
cuss these matters directly with you.

want you to know that pending the

Message Held Sign
Russia Is Believed
Far From Beaten
U. S.-British Pledge
Brings New Rumors Of
English Troop Move
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, Aug. I6.-T'he request
by President Roosevelt and Prime
Minister Churchill for three-power
conference with Russia was taken
here today as a sign that the United
States and Britain consider Russia
far from beaten.
Although the Soviet Army was re-
ported retreating before a fierce
German offensive in the Ukraine,
war commentators emphasized that
the message to Premier Joseph
Stain referred to consideration Of
a long-term policy" apparently in
dicating expectation that the war
would last long time.
At the same time, the fact that
the two nations pledged Russia ''the
very maximum of supplies" brought
a new crop of rumors that Britain
would land troops in the cold north
ern wastes of Russia to keep open
the important Arctic supply line.
Route Of Supplies.
Supplies from Britain and Amer
lea could enter Russia by two OBJ
vious routes, going through the Arc
tic ports Of Murmansk and Arch
angel or across the Pacific to Vladi-
voStock. If Japan entered the war
against Russia, one of these supply
lines would be gone, while a big
German-Finnish advance in the
north would cut the second.
For this reason, informed sources
said, Russia, the United States and
Britain would be anxious to consoli-
date the northern front and make at
least one supply line safe.
One other route was possible
Supplies could be taken through
the Persian Gulf port of Basra, UP
through Iraq and across Iran per
sia) or Turkey to the Caucasus
provided those countries would con.
sent.
Commentators expressed the opin-
ion that war strategy and other
problems in addition to that of sup
ply would be discussed at Moscow
and it was thought that United
States and British staff officers
would travel to Moscow to join the
talks.
Lord Beaverbrook, Minister OF
Supply, who now is in Washington
was believed to be Britain's star
representative for the conferences
but the name of Foreign Secretary
Anthony Eden, who knows Stain
also was mentioned.
London newspaper editorials said
the request for the meeting showed
the sincere desire of Britain and the
United States to give Russia all
possible help for long war.
The Daily Mail said Stain and
his military leaders were already
fixing on the conduct of the spring
and summer campaigns of 1912 >
1t suggested the Russians hoped to
hold the Nazi forces in unfavorable
positions when the SHOWS came II

The News Chronicle wrote:

TOPEKA, Kans., Aug. 16--Alf NJ.
Landon said yesterday, ut is evi-
dent from the way the Roosevelt
Churchill momentous meeting and
statement were handled that there
was a well-staged effort to mislead
the American people as to the pur-
pose of this meeting"
Presence of naval and military
high commands instead of the Sec
retary of State gives weight to
grave misgivings that this long
conference dealt with military and
naval collaboration, rather than
collaboration with Britain by peace.
full means" the 1886 Republican
presidential nominee said.
ut is rather strange that the
heads of the two greatest countries
in the world met and issued a state
ment fostering freedom of the seas,
freedom of governments and other
freedoms without mentioning free
dom of worship. Could it be that
this omission was caused by de-
sire not to- offend ahtist, commu-
niStic RuSSia?"
Of the way the meeting and state
ment were handled, Mr.. Landon
added:
"All the emphasis was placed on
desirable peace aims. AdminiStra-
ton stooges in the House and Sen
ate were waiting on the radio and
press associations to stress the peace
proposals.
TT was not revealed until later
In the day that the military and
naval high commands were pres
ent also.
MANY editors in this country feel
that the President pledged this
country to the defeat of Hitler, with
all that it means in the way OF
blood and suffering to our own
people.
"Of course he has done that
several times since the election
In his f1reside chats. But this Is a
formal document between the heads
of two great countries. The Presi-
dent SAYS we are not belligerent
and then assumes the role of one,

this joint statement with another

A popular theme among writers
on public questions is the impor-
lance of American citizens recog-
nizing and performing the duties
of citizenship with as much care
as they insist upon their rights.
The development of this theme
almost invariably is in general
terms, so much so that it might be
suspected that the writer's them
selves do not know precisely just
what the duties of citizenship in
clude.
Any honest-minded citizen re-
cognizes the obligations of obey
ing the law, paying taxes prompt
ly and without attempt at evasion,
and of voting intelligently. But be-
yond this the ideas of the typical
citizen are likely to be vague in
the extreme.
The following tabulation seeks to
state those duties of citizenship
which arise directly and naturally
out of the rights guaranteed by the
first ten Amendments to the Fed
eral Constitution. The list of duties
Is not necessarily complete, but it
is offered with the thought that it
might be of some value in clearing
up the uncertainty that exists in
our minds on this subject of civic
responsibilities.
While the Bill of Rights protects
all persons, aliens in our midst as
well as citizens, the citizen has a
special obligation to realize that
those rights carry with them cor
responding duties.
The first ten Amendments to the
Constitution of the United States,
commonly known as the Bill Of
Rights, became effective on De-
ccmber Is, 1871 and are therefore
$50 years old. No American need
