Action Seen Result

J Hy the ASSOCldleu eIeSS.
Secretary of State Hull expressed
the hope and expectation today that
all nations-eXcept those he de-
clared were avowedly on mission
of deStruction-would support the
eight-point declaration of principles
by President Roosevelt and Prime
Minister Churchill.
| This was his comment in response
! to a press conference question as to
whether the United States would
welcome an Endorsement of the dec
laration by Soviet Russia
Mr.. Hull said the American Gov
eminent naturally hoped and ex-
pected to see every peaceful and
civilized country except those adow-
edly on mission of dstruction give
its support to these principles.
He indicated there might be some
announcement soon concerning
Russia, possibly envisaging three
power meeting of American. British
and Russian experts on the war
needs of the Soviet Union.
ParalleI ActlOn Expected.
Meanwhile, the feeling pervaded
the Capital that parallel Anglo
American action of decisive nature
was in the offing to implement the
policies agreed on in the historic sea
conference between Mr.. Roosevelt
and Mr.. Churchill,
Informed diplomatic sources here
like some in London, shared the
opinion that much more than the
Joint declaration of peace aims after
destruction of the Nazi tyranny
could be expected from the mo-
mentous meeting, that the frs
manifestation could be looked fol
soon and that there would be nc
mistaking when it came.
This was based on the belief thai
there were numerous important de.
cisions behind the generalized Ian.
guage of the joint statement issued
yesterday. Only in the statement
preamble was mention made of un.
specified measures being taken by
Britain and the United States.
/ Plans Are Kept Secret.
The decisions, it was recognized
would remain in the category of mil
itary secrets. for Mr.. Roosevelt ha
made plain on past occasions tina
he did not care to provide informa
ton he thought Adolf Hitler woult
like to have, and that future de-
fense strategy would be based OF
beating the other fellow to tn,
punch.
Despite the rule of secrecy, som
official sources thought the Presi
dent might give the Nation furthe
details of his converse tions with MI
Churchill-perhaps in firesid
chat. Such a broadcast. it was sale
could be used effectively to an
nounce the first significant ste
taken as a result of the meeting.
The importance of American arm
production in the discussions wa
evidenced by the arrival IN Wash
ington of Lord Beaverbrook, Brit
aims dynamic Minister of Supply
who participated in the conference.
The Beaver" flew here yesterda
presumably taking of as soon a
he got ashore-and made no bone
of the fact that his mission was t
see about increased lease-lend aie
Two Warships Present.
Meanwhile, some additional de
tails were added to the still-meage
store of public information on tn
circumstances surrounding tn
meeting of Mr. Roosevelt and Brit
aims Prime Minister.
The exact location of the rendez
vous was still veiled by the vagu
description Somewhere in tn
