demanded in hewing to the legal

lticians sought in way Of special
advantage and which merchants
and business men sought in refus-
ing to make labor and tax conces-
sions in keeping with changed con-
ditions-all these and other sym
bols of selfshness helped to kindle
the Hitler fire. Refusal OF all ma

ton Churchill's pointed emphasis on
the delicate situation In the Far
East attracted much attention here
today, for the British prime minis
ter seemed to intimate that the
danger Of trouble between the Unit:
ed States and Japan was greater
than between Japan and Britain.
Although there were many pass
ages in the prime minister's adj
dress yesterday that provoked int.
crest, most of the diplomatic specu-
lation centered on Churchills
pledge that Britain would stand by
the United States in the event OF
a show down in the Orient.
Pending careful study of
Churchill's report on his historic
Atlantic meeting with President
Roosevelt. congressional comment
was slow in forthcoming, but the
opinion among Administration sup
porters seemed to be that Japan
had been given a warning that
could not be misunderstood.
Churchill, diplomatic sources
noted, bracketed Singapore and the
Philippines specifically as the two
spots Immediately menaced by the
present Japanese expansion south
ward in Asia. Thereafter, how
ever. the stress was on the efforts
of the United States to preserve
peace in the Far East.
THE United States, Churchill
said, ARE laboring with infinite pa.
tience to arrive at a fair and
amicable settlement which will
give the utmost reinsurance for her
legitimate interests.
I'VE earnestly hope these nego.
tiations will succeed. But this
must say, that if these hopes should
fail, we shall. of course, range
ourselves unhesitatingly at the
side of the United States"

the general belief was that British
interests would be the ones imme.
