FDR Reports
To Congress On
Churchill Pact
#(By Associated Press }

WASHINGTON. August p - Pres
ident Roosevelt reporting to Congress
this week on his epochal meeting
with Prime Minister Churchill said
that the declaration of principles
agreed upon there were SO clear cut
that they would be difficult to op-
pose without automatically admit
ting a willingness to accept eompro-
mise with Nazism. These principles,
the President said in a brief spe-
eial message, also would be hard to
oppose without admitting a willing
ness to agree to a world peace which
would give to Nazism domination
over large numbers of conquered ma
tons.
Mr.. Roosevelt asserted that in
evitably such a peace would be a
gift to Nazism 10 take a breath and
to arm for a second war to extend
the control over Europe and Asia to
the American hemisphere itself. The
President said it was unnecessary to
call attention once more to the
utter lack of validity of the spoken
or written word of the Nazi govern
ment He and the Prime Minister,
Mr.. Roosevelt said, are arranging for
conferences with Russia to assist it
in its defense against the attack
made by the principal aggressor of
the modern world-Germany
Written with a pencil and scratch
pad in the Presidents study, the
message contained a copy of the Of
fetal statement released by the
White House last week covering the
eight general aims agreed upon by
the Prime Minister and Mr.. Roose-
welt. Since the joint declaration,
critics Of the administration for
eign policy have charged that the
President and Churchill reached an
offensive and defensive alliance bas-
ing their case in part on the fact
that the declaration gave as a pre-
lude to the desired peace destruction
of "Nazi tyranny" Mr.. Roosevelt ig-
nored this in his message as he did
also charge from the same sources
that he violated the constitution by
having such a meeting in dangerous
waters aboard a belligerent warship.

CHAMBER WANTS
FISH LADDER AT
VIRGINIA LAKE

Possibility of obtaining a fish lad
der at Mill Creek leading to Virginia
Lake with the aim of developing a
soekeye stream and bolstering sport
fishing in Virginia Lake was dis
cussed at the luncheon meeting of
the Wrangell Chamber of Commerce
Monday noon in the Civic Center. 1t
was pointed out by members we'll ac-
quainted with the stream that it
could be made into an excellent sock
eye creek. The local Industries com
mittee will take the matter up with
the Fish and Wildlife Service with
the hope of getting the ladder in
stalled.
Subject of getting better disposal
of fish CORY from the canneries was
discussed and DR.. J. l. Weston of the
Territorial Department of Health
suggested enforcement of the Terri
torial regulations should handle the
situation. He said the waste should
be taken out at least two miles be-
fore being dumped, thus preventing
1t washing back on the beaches in
town. 1t was brought out by several
members that the establishment of
a fertilizer plant some distance from
town where the fish disposal from
the canneries could be used was the
only real solution to the problem
and that complete control of the
problem could not be met until such
a plant was established
