 TcCarran, Democrat, Nevada: we start shooting at the enemy and all mankind"
 GREAT BRITAIN
 Britons believed the conference concerned chiefly the battle of the Atlantic and the Japanese situation. The Daily Telegraph, in a typical Summarization, said MT. Roosevelt and Churchill probably decided on just what parallel action they could take in dealing with events in the Atlantic and Far East. The British propaganda machine used every fa- cility for informing the world of the United States British declara- tion. It was broadcast in 40 Ian guages including Arabic, Burmese, Hindustani and Thai continuously from 3 D. m. yesterday to 4 a. m. today, after which 8 condensed ver- sion of the declaration was started for another 24-hour run. It was arranged for British and Russian planes to drop pamphlet versions of the declaration over most of Europe, and for secret agents to pass the word of it among the people of Ger many and occupied countries. THE AXIS NATIONS Germany Nazis ridculed the "An- glo-Saxon" peace ans and clamed that they, in victories over the So- viets, were laying the foundation for the future Europe. The semi- official diplomatic and political cer- dependence said Germany and its allies, warned by bitter experience, today are fighting for the main- tenance of European culture which bolshevism, supported by Churchill and Roosevelt, threatens" Other Nazi spokesmen said the eight point declaration was similar to Woodrow wilson's "A points" which they said were never fulfilled al- though there had been 20 years since the World war in which to apply them.
 Italy: Italian newspapers, as did the German, denounced each of the eight points individually, thus in forming the public of the nature of the United StateS-British declara- tion.

The Popolo Di Rome said, 'The declara- ton means that Roosevelt hence forth considers the United States in the war despite American public opinion and Congress"
 CNEUTRALS) Sweden: Swedish observers be- lieved the declaration failed to men tion some of the more important things discussed and that results, beyond anything so far mentioned, might become evident soon. They believed the fact that the heads of the British and American govern ments met was more important than anything announced in the declar- ation, and they attached much sig nificance to the fact that the United States, which is not at war, had an- nounced common peace aims with Britain.
 LATIN AMERICA Mexico: Foreign Minister Dr. Ezeuuiel Padilla said "all points in the declaration are essential parts in teh political tradition of Mex ico."
 Argentina: The influential news paper La Prensa said that "apart from the section dealing with the prosecution of hostilities, the declar- ation could be subscribed to by all American nations since it reiterated the principles promulgated at the n-American conferences"
 Peru: The newspaper La Cronica said that although the declaration resembled Wilson's IA points, 1t was more concrete and realistic state ment.
 ASIA
 Japan, Asiatic end of the Axis, said the declaration was high handed" vague, "high-sounding", cunning and wise" attempt to alienate Japan and small European nations from Germany. Japan, politcial statements said, should not be permitted to fall into the trap" but should proceed with its established policy" The newspaper Nichi Nichi saw in the declaration an attempt ito overthrow the Jap anese government"
 Shanghai: Anglo American sources said the reference to giving all nations access to draw materials might induce more moderate Japan csc leaders to attempt to slow down the move to the south. These sources believed the emphasis plac- ed on Germany in the declaration might mean that the United States and Britain were willing to consider negotiations with Japan if she would abandon aggression.
