ais when he returned from London
TO report TO President Roosevelt.
The congressional leaders, en-

Winant was reported to have
based his assertion that Great
Britain can defeat Germany with
out United States participation in
the war on the following conclu-
sions OF the British:
l. That the Presidents neu-

and is narrowing the danger areas
to shipping in the Atlantic.
2. That sinkings OF merchant
ships carrying American war ma

4. That they can hold the Suez
Canal, and the Mediterranean, and
that they have large, well equipped
forces in Africa ana Egypt capable
of defeating Nazi Invasion units.
Winant. it was said, emphasized
during the conference that he was
not painting an Optimistic" pic

senators, however, reported that
there was nothing said which
would indicate that her present
position is hopeless. They said he
