 Only today the British admiralty revealed that tonnage losses of the British, allied and neutral merchant fleets have crossed the 6,000,000 mark since start of the war. t we must regard this battle ot the Atlantic as one of the most momentous ever fought in all the annals of war;" said Churchill. sThrefore, Mir. Winant, you have 1 come to us at the grand turning point of the worlds history.
 ''You, Mir. Ambassador, share our purpose. You will share our dangers and interests. You shall share our secrets and the day will come when the British Empire and the United States will share together the sol- emn but splendid duties which lerown victory"
 He said that the American visitors yto Britain--Harry L. Hopkins, Wen- ldell L. Willkie, Col. William J. Donovan, and now Hartman and SWinant-have one thing in com mon. "They would be ready to give their lives, nay, proud to give their lives rather than that good cause should be trampled down and dark ] ness and barbarism again engulf mankind" he said.

 [ we know" said Churchill, "that other hearts in millions and scores of millions beat with ours, that their voices proclaim the cause for which we strive, that other strong hands wield, hammer and shape the weapons we need, that other gleam. ing eyes are fixed in hard convic. ton upon the tyrannies that must and will be destroyed"
 i, Welcome to Winant
 Churchill offered his welcome to svVinant "at moment when the great battle in which your govern sment and nation is deeply interest," ed In developing in the full scope of severity"

 Churchill admitted that British shipping losses have shown at least . temporary rise but added:
 We are applying our fullest strength and resource and all the skill science can command in order to meet this potentially mortal chal- lenge. The American destroyers which reached us in the autumn and winter increasingly are coming into action"
 Churchill declared that 1t is his Ixtile "as you know, not to conceal the gravity of danger from our peo- 'ple."
 Therefore" he said, T have the xight to be believed when also I tproclaim our confidence that we shall overcome them.
