of their whether any in
VISION effort against the continent
is being seriously considered, what
might be expected In the Mediter-
ranean theater, or on any other po-
tential fronts-as a means OF taking
fullest advantage of the German
preoccupation with Russia. Com
plants that the British thus far
have failed to take this advantage
have been frequent and from some
influential sources in recent weeks.
Criticism Expected.
AS for the joint declaration, it is
believed likely that its lofty idealism
will draw the approval of the Brit
ish and American publics and of
most of the worlds peoples not
under Axis domination. BY the
same token, however, it is expected
to draw criticism as a commitment
! by this Nation to a postwar task
of reforming and policing the
world-a new version Of the League
Of Nations ideal which became such
bitter political issue after the last
world conflict.
From its flexible terms many pre-
else interpretations probably will be
drawn as commentators and news
analysts dissect it word by word.
But whatever their verdicts, there
hardly can be successful denial that
1t is history making pronounce
ment, and, in the expectation of
eventual democratic victory, one
around which the future policies of
nations and of statesmen will re-
volve.
Only time holds the answer of
whether these eventual decisions
and the course Of history will be in
accord with this pattern of a new
order.

Mr.. Attlee informed the House OF

Then Mr. Hopkins, who had re-
turned to England from his visit to
Russia only a few days before
dropped out of sight. The cabled
explanation was that he had retired
into seclusion.
Next came an unexplained halt

has made plain that national social

production in the United States to
provide larger and faster volume
of leace-lend aid to Britain, to in

Dakar and French North Africa.
1t was understood that Mr..
Churchill has long feared such a
German move and he probably
made every effort to stress its i'm
portance.
Borrows Heavily on Wilson.
The general opinion in London is
that the eight points borrow heav-
lily on Wilson'A fourteen points in
many respects.
Instances of this similarity most
quoted are points four and five
which echo Wilson's third point
calling for the removal of trade bar

Mr.. Churchill and Mr.. Roosevelt
met with the full knowledge of the
British Dominions, it was said in
Canadian circles, but the historic
eight-point declaration was de-
scribed ostensibly as an agreement
between the United States and the
United Kingdom.
There was no dominion partici-
patton at sea, but it was regarded
as possible that the dominions and
the allies would be asked to associ-
ate themselves with the policy out
lined.
Will Keep Weapons.
The comment on the final point
of the joint statement about dis
arming aggressors one authoritative
source said that "the gangsters are
to be disarmed-that's the golden
rule Of the show.
We are not going to be the fools
we were last time and scrap our
weapons when the war is over"
Members of Parliament generally
at least those remaining in London
during the recess-applauded this
point especially. 1t was described
! as a radical departure from pre-
vious theories of disal ,nament as a
path to peace. 1t shows. they said
that the United States and Britain
had abandoned the old notion of a
general disarmament.
This was called "a step toward
realism lacking in Wilson's plan"
Decisive Step in>Policy.
Comparing the sea meeting to
those of Hitler and Mussolini in the
Brenner Pass, one informed diplo-
matte source said that the ultima te
similarity would be that this meet
ing. like those, foreshadowed some
decisive step in joint policy"
This source said that the President
and the Prime Minister were in
close consultation for three days
during which they probably dis

Virginia Firemen Warn
Of Illegal Gas Storage

BY the Associated Press.
STAUNTON, Va, Aug. 14.-The
Virginia Association of Fire Chiefs
intervened in the gasoline conser-
vation program today by urging the
cooperation of police in prosecuting
citizens who buy large quantities of
gasoline and store it in their yards,
homes or garages.
The chiefs pointed out that such
storage of fuel was a violation OF
State law and an obvious hazard
in the event of fire.
At their session, held during the
annual convention of the Virginia
State Firemen's Association, the
fire chiefs reelected James M. Dun
can of the Alexandria department
president. Others named were L.
F.. Ballard of Salem, vice president,
and Edward F. Ware of Elizabeth

In this connection 1t was recalled
that q number of men in the cabi-

incapacitated.
Formerly Considered Radical.
In years past Hiranuma had been
considered radical, but in recent
months, when he has become as
second in influence only to the
Premier, he has been regarded
merely as a great Nationalist, who
put the interests of the empire
above everything else.

numa is vigorous and agile despite
his years. Though strong advocate
of all things japanese, he made a
practice of smoking English cigar

obtain them.
Asked once why he smoked for
eign brand, he said he preferred
them, and added:
Il don't drink. but tobacco is one
thing of which I am very fond

tant to note that the entire pro-
gram is predicated upon the initial
necessity of military defeat and
destruction of Nazi-ism.
The kind of peace and the pattern
of the world to follow, as announced,
are objectives impossible of fulfill
ment until this military dominance
on the part of the anti-AXis portion
of the world is established.
To this point, or course, it has not
been demonstrated that Britain
alone, or in alliance with Soviet Rus
sia. can achieve this victory at arms
and there is no doubt that the pure
ly military and naval phases of the
war situation formed major portion
of the Anglo-American discussions.
What degree of future American aid
or participation this may imply
probably will not be stated soon, but
should be reflected in the near fu-
ture in the observable turns to the
defense program and the diplomatic
maneuverings of the State Depart
ment.
MAILED Fist" Policy.
Closely joined to this considera-
ton Is the question of whether
present policies of allout financial
and material aid to Britain. Russia
and China-but without fighting
mems proving adequate for the
task at hand. That Mr.. Roosevelt
has hoped it would be so is believed
by most of those who follow him
closely and analyZe his words and
actions. and very recently White
House spokesman recalled to a press
conference that the last public word
from Churchill on American aid
was that if we would supply the
tools his country would do the job
of winning this war.
Since that time, Russia has helped
this cause by its dogged resistance
to Nazi invasion and the United
States openly joined in a mailed
fist policy of resisting japanese
aggression in the Far East.
Counterlng this somewhat, how
ever, has been the detection OF the
Vichy French government to Berlin
and the threat of surrender of
French naval facilities and bases to
the Axis. In event this threat ma
terializes into realty, another of the
subjects surely discussed in the
Roosevelt-Churchill meeting, it is
believed certain that there will be
prompt action in this hemisphere to
take French territories here under

Such a move might be carried out
by British forces in the case OF
French islands close to Newfound-
land and by joint Pan-American
units in the cases of Martinique and
