! CHICAGO, May 9.-Great Britain
can offer no blueprint of the post
war future but it knows the basic
principles which must govern q
peace settlement, Lord Halifax as
serted last night.
The British Ambassador to the
| United States set forth Britain's
war aims in general terms in an ad-
dress to the Commercial Club as he
began a seven-day tour of the
Middle West
To-day our first aim is to win,'
the envoy said. Yet even in this
moment of stress. we are looking
forward.
I'VE are thinking today in terms
of freedom rather than frontiers, of
the restoration of the worth and
welfare of the common man rather
than of political agreements. We
are seeking to ensure the freedom
of the individual against enslave-
ment."
Lord Halifax asserted that there

the present struggle, that destruc-
ton of the ''Nazi system" must pre-
cede the establishment of a new
world order.
Objectives Enumerated.
1--WE know that no peace made
with Hitler and his gang would be
a real peace, but only an uncertain
and precarious armistice while he
made new preparations to destroy
it," he said.
The Ambassador listed three OBJ
jectiveS which the new world
comfy of nations" must attain to
succeed:
Il. A system of security which
will ensure international stability.
%. A system of economic collabo-
ration. in place of economic con-
f1ict, between free peoples =
"3. A system of ordered change in
the relationship between states
which will restore confidence in the
integrity of the word of nations"
IF this new world order is ITO be
built, the British commonwealth
must join with the United States to
build it," he added.
Decisive Factors Favor British.
The envoy declared that Britain has
hard road ahead, but that he was
convinced that the large and finally
decisive factors are on our side
Among these factors, he said. was
the combined industrial power of the
United States and Great Britain.
Lord Halifax made no mention OF
American conveys in his talk. but in
a press conference earlier he said
Great Britain wanted American wal
supplies quickly, and in volume, but
''how you send them and how you
secure getting them there is your
business"
The Ambassador said in his talk
that the German general staff had
examined the question of invading
North America. but had found it at
present impracticable.
But" he added, what is not
feasible at one time becomes feasible
at another. Moreover, the German
general staff are silent about South
America"
Next Move in Doubt.
He said he did not know whether
Hitler next would go through Spain
and Portugal, against Weygand in
North Africa, to SueZ across Turkey
and Syria, to Ukraine or to the oil
fields of Baku," but. he declared:
wherever he deploys his army he
will still be faced with seapoWer and
industrial power and they will ulti-
mately have the last word"
Lord Halifax declared the steady
deprivation of many things vital to
Germany's war effort would cause
its machine of economic life to run
down" while the industrial power OF
the United States and Great Britain
were rising steadily toward equality
and then superiority
