10 Define: Scope l'|'t' Of - -,
Atlantic Charter
'BewiIdered Despair
Of Eastern Peoples
Cited at Forum
BY the Associated Press.

sA0SSSA~SSA
NEW YORK, Nov. 7.-Wendell L.
Willkie declared last night that
North Africa and the region around
Turkey might well be ''the area in
which our war may be won or lost"
and called on Prime Minister
Churchill to define clearly Great
Britain's stand on the Atlantic
Charter.
In a speech at forum sponsored
by the New York Times, Mr.. Willkie
said the United States should do its
utmost to lead Turkey and added:
They are prepared to bargain.
They would like to deal with us.
They produce, in Turkey, nearly
one quarter of the worlds supply of
chrome. Their tobacco and their
cotton are badly needed by other
countries. With these assets, the
Turks can buttress their neutrality,
for the time, at any rate. But this
will not be for q long time, I am
convinced. unless we help them.
Neutrality Preservation Asked.
They need foodstuffs, wheat espe-
cially, and they need manufactures
and machinery. We are today the
only country which can adequately
supply them. I deeply believe that
it is to our interest to do so, as far
as we are able, to prevent Turkeys
resources from going to our enemies,
and to Preserve the neutrality of a
country which wants to be our
friend"
1t was his impression, Mr.. Willkie
said, that Turkey was "a very re-
spectacle problem for any aggressor
nation which might want to use
Turkey as a highway to conquest of
the East"
The 1910 Republican presidential
candidate said he was very glad that
President Roosevelt Stated clearly
and without reservation that as far
as this country was concerned the
Atlantic Charter applied to the en-
tire world"
Prime Minister Churchill, however,
has spoken "in somewhat different
language" Mr.. Willkie declared. He
read from speech made by Mr..
Churchill In which the Prime Min
lister said that the Atlantic Charter
did mot qualify in any way the
various statements Of policy which
had been made from time to time
about the development Of constitu-
tional government in India, Burma,
or other parts Of the British Em-
pire."
Far East Said Bewildered.
This statement, Mr.. Willkie said,
caused "bewildered despair" in the
Middle East and Far East.
The President and Prime Minis
ter should get together and be "con-
else and clear and specific" in what
we mean about the Atlantic Char
ter, Mr.. Willkie asserted.
Mr.. Willkie said that comment on
his broadcast report Of his globe
circling trip had pleased him greatly.
TT has confirmed my feeling that
the deep drift Of public opinion,
which works powerfully but quietly,
already has moved ahead Of many
Of our leaders," he said.
He suggested that this public
opinion may put Us into the open
acknowledgment, before the world,
Of the beliefs Ne hold most firmly"
