Churchill Pledges No Peace With Hitler Regime

UNDATED, Nov. 10 (41 With Russia batting for life against new German threats, Britain be- gain a great aerial offensive to relieve the pressure on her ally, and the whole Orient was shad- owed with threats of wider war.
 Churchill warned that the strugg e soon may engulf "the re maining fourth of the globe" :" This note he struck on the eve of the 23rd anniversary of the Armistice of the war which was to have ended all wars. This came in an address at the an- nual ceremony which marks the induction of the new Lord Mayor or London.
 Churchill said "If the United States should become involved in war with Japan, a British declar- ation will follow within an hour.
 He asserted that Britain has 'broken the mora of the Italian navy and we now feel ourselves strong enough to provide power ful naval forces of heavy ships and the necessary auxiliary yes sels for service, if need be, in the Indian and Pacific Oceans"
 This hint of growing initiative by Britain came amid strained Japanese-U. S. relation, which a special Japanese envoy, flying to Washington, seeks to ease.
 Almost as Churchill addressed the London audience, U. s. am bassador Winant, in a speech at Plymouth, declared the first premise in fighting "an enemy ruthlessly determined on world conquest, is to fight him on the ground you choose rather than on the ground he chooses"
