Roosevelt, Churchill
Guided by Aggressive
Spirit, Goydo Says
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Ffese.
ROME, Aug. 16.-The authorita-
tive Fascist editor, Virginio Gayda,
in a point-by-point criticism of the
Roosevelt Churchill declaration
said today the anticipated final
destruction of Nazi tyranny" is un-
obtainable, but added that IF the
proposal were maintained the world
war would have to last 10 years or
longer"
Writing in his Giornale dItalia,
Gayda characterized the American
British declaration as "a coarse and
incapable propaganda gesture"
which failed at birth" He said 1t
showed that President Roosevelt
and Prime Minister Churchill were
guided by an aggressive spirit"
Gayda answered the Roosevelt
Churchill eight points one by one:
1. The United States already has
begun ito increase their collection
of bases and regions which must
mean not only aggrandizement OF
their territory but aggrandizement
of their dominant control over the
worlds seas and therefore the free
dom Of peoples"
Territorial Changes.
g. AS to territorial changes not in
accord with the freely expressed
wishes of the peoples concerned,
why are the British occupying
Palestine. Irau. Egypt and India,
and why is Roosevelt Associated
with Soviet Russia" which has
seized" Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia
and part of Finland?
g. The United States and Britain
are responsible for having excited
and exasperated a war of political
ideologies and a conflict between
the internal regimes of nations"
4. THE free use of raw materials
can be assured only with the free
ownership of territories and of the
sources of their production" which
is "above all colonial question that
must be equitably solved for ali large
countries of laborers saturated with
men and poor in territory"
5. Only when better distribution
of territories and means of produc-
ton Is reached will a more active
trade be possible.
Imperialistic Spirit.
6. "'The final destruction of Nazi
i tyranny longed for by the Anglo
Saxon warmongers and unobtain-
able is an immediate revelation of
the imperialistic and aggressive
spirit which guides the warmonger-
ing of Churchill and Roosevelt. II
the proposal were maintained the
World War would have to last 10
years or longer"
Z. Does the principle of freedom
of the seas mean that the United
States and Britain "are disposed to
renounce their naval supremacy and
their possession of naval bases" and
their hold on such key points as
Gibraltar and Suez?
8. The proposal to disarm Italy
Germany and Japan is a return to
''the fatal error of Versailles"

GoebbeIs AssoiIs u. S.-BHtish
Program as an Outrage
Result of Meeting
Is Declared Meoger,
Foolish and Sterile
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN, Aug. 16. - Both the
Roosevelt Churchill eight points
and plan to aid Soviet Russia drew
German derision today, the first in
scornful words from Propaganda
Minister Paul Joseph Goebbels.
He described the program Of the
United States President and British
Prime Minister as IAN outrage
against common sense" and au-
thoritative German sources called
their promises to Joseph Stain a
propaganda attempt to cover up
the hop of their high seas meeting
"The whole world realizes the
eight points are a ridiculous out
come of so important a meeting"
they said. Hence, to keep alive
world discussion, the message to
Stain was launced 36 hours later"
Goebbels added his gibes in an
article released to the entire Ger
man press.
Called Stupid Document.
Seldom has history seen such
stupid, unimaginative document as
the two big guns of world plutocracy
framed on the Potomac (sic)," he
declared.
"We didn't expect much from
meeting of Roosevelt and Churchill
Goebbels wrote, "but that the re-
suit would be so meager, foolish
and sterile we didn't even dare pic
ture in our widest dream"
Hitting especially hard at the
question of disarmament, he de-
clared:
whoever wants to disarm us will
have to go to the little trouble of
taking our weapons from us. To
demand that we do that ourselves
is stupidity which calls for police ac-
tion.
I'VE did that once in November,
1918. But the German people then
was still credulous. At that time it
had foolish leadership and the enemy
smart one, while today that is re-
versed. -
I'VE understand clearly why these
international prohteers Of plutocracy
hate the fuehrer and his system.
He has established a social form in
which order, cleanliness and clarity
reign.
HE is building up a peoples state
which is socially organized, in which
money serves industry and industry
mankind. On the opponents side,
that is turned around. For that
reason they keep dinning their ever
lasting complexes of jealousy and
inferiority."
"War and Imitation Profiteers."
Goebbels concluded:
"Now that their last ally, world
Bolshevism, is at the point of suffer-
ing debacle, now in their despair,
they turn to us most respectfully to
do what they themselves have not
accomplished and never will-to
fleece ourselves. -
These war and imitation profiteers
these fat capitalists and devoted
Jewish servants, these perjurers OF
their own election promises deserve
only that the German people con-
temptuously spit at them and return
again to its work: Thus do we want
to work and fight until humanity
is freed from this scourge Of God.
