US. Approaches
Verge Of War;
Says
Battle of Atlantic
Declared Turning
In Brituin's S Favor
BY the Associated Press.

BY the ESSoClateu Press.
LONDON. July 29.-Prime Min
lister Churchill in a 92-minute tor
rent of words which overwhelmed
his opposition today defended the
record of British war production
and declared "the U. S. A., the
greatest single power, is giving us
aid on a gigantic scale and is ad-
vancing in rising wrath and con-
viction to the very verge of war"
In speech which admitted fall
ures but declared veritable miracles
had been worked in arming Britain
the Prime Minister made these
points:
German air superiority has
been broken and air attacks on
Britain for the time being have
almost ceased.
The battle of the Atlantic,
although far from being won, is
turning in favor of the British
partly because of American in
tervention." "
The situation in the Near East
is much better than II or 8
months ago.
Despite this massive towering
of facts Britain cannot let
down.
The invasion season is at
hand" and all armed forces have
been warned to be at the peak
of efficiency and alertness by
September l.
1t is madness to suppose that
Russia or the United States is
going to win the war for US
Opposition Nearly Silenced.
Mr.. Churchill concluded with
words which brought from his au-
ditors prolonged cheer.
We stand here still the cham
pion,' he said. IF We fail all fail
and if we fall all fall"
The Prime Ministers speech all
but silenced his opposition.
He challenged his opposition to
call for a vote of confidence on his
refusal to appoint a minister of war
production. but the debate con-
cluded without vote, which in
formed sources said was a greater
victory than an overwhelming tally
Mr.. Churchill also expressed re-
gret at severance of relations with
Finland
The Prime Minister cautioned the
nation to "be on guard equally
against pessimism and optimism,
but said the British people should
be encouraged by the magnificent
strength and courage of Russia
Other credits on the British war
ledger, he said, were the breaking
of German air superiority and the
reduced number of Luftwaffe at
tacks on England.
But the worst is not over he
added THE vast mass of destruc-
tive munitions which they (the Ger
mans have made or captured. the
courage, skill and audacity of their

a gag was to have come up in the
House today. but the House ad-

to the joint tax return feel they

Bv JOHN c. HENRY.

President RooCevelt late his ait
ernoon joined Acting Secretary OF
State Welies in defending this Gov
ernment's good neighbor policy
within the Americas.
Controversy over the policy was
precipitated by proposal earlier
today by Senator Clark. democrat,
of Idaho. that the United States
should take over all the Western
Hemisphere territory in the light of
what he called failure of the good
neighbor doctrine.
Asked at a press conference about
the Senator's suggestion, the Presi-
dent replied that all he could say
was to express the hope that none
of our friends in the rest of the
Americas will take the proposal
seriously.
Welles Statement.
Earlier, Mr. Welles had made the
following statement at his own press
conference: Il feel that all that is
really necessary for me to say is
that the statement as such seems
to me to be unbelievable, and I am
quite sure it does not reflect the
views of the opinions of the Ameri-
can people.
II am positive. of course, that it Is
not shared by any responsible au-
thority in the Government.
1T is a point of view utterly at
variance with the policy that has
been pursued by this administra-
ton in its relations with the other
American republics during the past
nearly nine years and the benefits
of this policy, l think, have been
appreciated so fully not only by the
other American republics, but by the
people of the United States as well
as to make. any serious comment
from me unnecessary"
Asserting at the beginning OF his
conference that he had no news,

Bv GARNETT ID. HORNER.

Blacklisting of pro-AXis firms
from inter american trade was de-
scribed today by Acting Secretary
of State Welles as one Of several
steps being taken to counter efforts
Of the totalitarian powers TO eX-
tend their disruptive control over
the affairs of American republics. .
He made this comment in state
ment accompanying publication of
changes in a list of blocked ma
tionals' proclaimed by President
Roosevelt July II. Firms in Latin
America named on the list are
banned from trade relations with
this country.
The chief effect of the publica =
ton of the list of blocked nationals
is to deny the benefits of inter-
American trade to persons who have
hitherto been using large profits to
finance subversive activities. aimed
at undermining the peace and in
dependence of the Western Hemi-
sphere" Mr.. WeIes said
The changes announced today de-
leted more than 40 firms from the
original blacklist of 1900 firms held
to be acting in the interest of Ger
many and Italy in Latin America
and made a few minor amendments
in other listings. Mr.. Welles said
further deletions and additions to
the list would be made later.
Recent eyents." he said, have
emphasized the correctness of the
charge that the totalitarian powers
are striving to disturb the peace of
this hemisphere and to extend their
disruptive control over the affairs of
American republics
Swift action by the governments
affected has nipped dangerous plans
of the totalitarians in the bud and
indicates the determination of the
American republics to defend their
integrity and peace
He apparently had in mind in this
connection recent action by Bolivia
in expelling the German Minister
there and developments in an Argen-
tine legislative investigation of Nazi
activities in that country.
Loyal Persons Get Trade.
The issuance of the proclaimed
list. marking persons who are con-
tributing to these anti-American
activities" Mr.. Welles said. is but
another in blocking the efforts of
those who have sinister designs on
the Americas
He said that trade from which
the blacklisted "anti-American in
terests' previously had profted is
now being transferred into the
hands of other persons, largely citi-
zens of the other American repub-
lies, who are devoted to the best
interests of the countries in which
they reside"
Mr.. Welles said this Government
would promptly remove names from
the blacklist whenever altered sit
uations - warrant such action. ="
