in any single year of the World War apparently about 100000 dead and wounded.
 2. Great Britain and her allies are turning the tide in the battle of the Atlantic, having destroyed three times more tonnage of Axis shipping in July and August than was lost by the allies. He said, however, that Hitler now is using more submarines and. long-range bombers in the battle of the Allan tic than ever before
 3. The Churchill Roosevelt meet- ing at sea concerned not only the eight-point Atlantic charter but also measure to aid Russia in resist ing "the hideous onslaught" of Hit Ter and "a policy to be pursued to- ward Japan in order, if possible, to put a stop to further achments in the Far East" In addition the conference concerned technical (presumably military or naval oper- ations).
 4. The Atlantic charter state- ment of peace aims sets up "a mile stone or monument which needs only the stroke of victory to be- come @ permanent part of the his- tory of human progress"
 5-Vastly increased aid to Russia is urgently necessary and the United States must greatly increase produc- ton of war supplies to carry on the battle against NazisTn, which means that United States civilian consump- ton must be curtailed. "Very large new installations will have to be set up or converted If the United states is to fulfill its task, he said.
 6-Britain already is making im- portant sacrifices of war materials from America to speed aid to the Red Army in order to support the eastern front where Hitler "already is faced with the certainty of having to maintain his armies on the whole front from the Arctic to the Black Sea through all the seventies of the Russian winters and in face Of the vigorous counter-Stroke which can be expected by the Russian armies"
 About U. S. Threat
 In regard to the threat to the United States patrol system, Churchill said:
 "The United States patrol system has been Q help to us. I could wish 1t might be & greater help But here again the enemy's intentions may change. Now Hitler wishes to finish of Russia and then British before coming to United States. That would be in accordance with his habitual technique.
 "Hitler has however also the greatest possible need for preventing the provision of immense supplies now streaming across the Atlantic in pursuance of the policy of the United States government from reaching our shores. Should he do so, the areas of danger zones again would become ocean-wide."
 Churchill warned, however, against belief that the battle of the Atlantic was already won. .E.
 Let us hear no vain talk" he said. regarding the battle of the At. lantlc having been won"
 More American Aid
 He put great emphasis on the need for much greater American aid m both the battle of the Atlantic and the battle of production.
 This, he said, means that Ameri- can civilian consumption must be further reduced.
 If the United States Is to fulfill the task they have set for them selves" he said, "very large new installations will have to be set up or converted and there will have to be further curtailment over there Of civilian consumption"
 He drew laughter when he re- ferred to his Stopover In Iceland en route home from his meeting with MT. Roosevelt
 T had the honor to review large numbers from the strong British and United States forces which no doubt for entirely different reasons and in pursuance of separate duties happen to be engaged jointly in defending this all important island stepping stone across the Atlantic from Nazi intrusion or attack" he said.
 Some very considerable United States and British naval and air forces also are assembled In Ice. land. The spacious airfields which we have constructed and are ex. banding there and in Newfoundland will play an ever increasing part not only in control of the broad waters but in the continued flow of that ever- r-broadening stream of heavy bombers which are now act ing against Germany night after night and which will play a decisive part or one of the decisive parts in final victory"
 Tn regard to the eight point Att lantic charter the prime minister said:
