| LONDON, may I3"-iHe JOL-
lot0ing is a partial tert OF an ad-
dress today by Foreign Secretary
Anthony Eden-the sections re-
lating to ,oar aims and British
United States relations:
My first words must be to welcome
the great message broadcast a few
hours ago by the President of the
United States in which he described,
with incompatible breadth of vision,
the scope of the struggle in which
we are engaged.
That speech is a momentous world
event. BY his words, the President
has given resolute expression to the
fixed determination of the most
powerful Nation upon the earth. He
defined the settled policy of his
country in terms which are as
vigorously encouraging to us as they
must be disheartening to our enemy.
To give effect to this policy, the
President has decreed state of I'M
limited national emergency in the
United States. For cur part, and I
say this in the presence of repre-
sentative of the United States, we
have listened with hearts full OF
expression of determination that
the cause of freedom can and will
prevail.
I'VE do not accept and will not
permit this Nazi shape of things to
come In these historic words, the
President expresses the determine
ton of all the freedom loving coun-
tries.
Freedom of the Seas.
Perhaps the keynote of the Presi-
dents speech lies in his repeated
declaration that the national exis-
tence of free nations must ulti-
mately depend upon the freedom of
the seas. This freedom has been
maintained in the past by British
and American navies and both
countries have fought on many &C.
casions to preserve it. Freedom to
trade he has declared is essential
to the economic life of America.
This applies with equal force to
the British Empire for, without
ability of the ships of the world to
sail freely on their lawful occasions,
no modern nation can hope to main
tain its commercial or political free
dom. The President has pointed
the way for the free nations of the
world. He has done more; he has
accomplished a great act of faith

The future of Europe will depend
upon how moral and material re-

We have found in President
Roosevelts message to Congress in
January, 194l, the keynote of our
own purposes. On that occasion
the President said, in future days
which we seek to make secure we
look forward to world founded
upon four essential human free
domS.
The first is freedom of speech
and expression-everywhere in the
world. The second is freedom of
every person to worship God in his
own way-everywhere in the world. |
The third is freedom from want |

the kind of world attainable in our
time and generation. That kind of
world is the very antithesis of the
so-called new order tyranny which
the dictators seek to create with the
crash of a bomb. To that new order
we oppose the greater conception
the moral order"
On this occasion I will not attempt
to elaborate our views about the
Presidents first and second free
doms: Freedom of speech and
thought and freedom to worship
God, save say that we realize that
these freedoms are fundamental to
