Tells Commons
of Improved Stotus

LONDON, Sept. 8 - (R) -
Prime Minister Churchill told
the House of Commons today
that the storming of Hitler's
Dieppe was the indispensable
preliminary" to bigger under
takings and that Britain's army
in Egypt NOW is stronger &C
tually and relatively than it
ever has BEEN"
Britain, he reported in war
summary to tn G reconvened
Parliament, "may be confident
in our ability to maintain a
successful defense of Egypt not
for days or weeks but for sew
eral months ahead"
These specific details fitted
into what Churchill termed a
continuing trend in the Allies
favor since his last report and
with a complete accord between
Britain and the United States
on Waglng global war, an az
cord which he said has existed
since the end of Juy.
SHARP DECLINE
At sea salo, he gave cheering
news with the report that,
though losses still are heavy,
they had dropped so sharply
that they are at slower rate
than requirements through new
building.
"Our warfare on U-boats," he
added, "has been more success
full than at any other period in
the war"
Still, he acknowledged, the
Nazis have been building SUBJ
marines faster than the Allies
have been able to sink them

America observed the first
wartime Labor Day in nearly a
quarter of century yesterday
but millions of workers-for
whom the holiday was designat-
ed-kept busy at their jobs to in
sure no interruption along the
industrial front.
The wartime observance of the
holiday, i'm addition to maintain
ing the flow of production, paid
dividends in the number Of lives
saved attendant to the tradition
al celebrations normally staged
throughout the nation.
The violent death toll for the
three-day holiday, an Associated
Press survey showed, was con-
siderably smaller compared to
the total for the weekend holi-
day last Labor Day. Especially
was there a marked reduction In
the number of traffic fatalities,

SWEEPING POSSIBILITIES
The decisions on military op-
erations were, of course, not re-
vealed, although Mr.. Roosevelt
in his "fireside chat" last night
pointed out that there were at
least a dozen different places at
which attacks could be launched.
There was a probability that
the meetings, described by the
White House as important, were
related directly to the recent
conferences in Moscow between
Churchill, Soviet Premier JOS

President Roosevelt made this
clear last night in reporting to
the nation that he had called on
Congress to give him quick and
specific authority to stabilize the
cost OF living as means of
averting economic chaos on the
home front.
Declaring he would accept the
responsibility and act on his own
initiative if Congress failed to
respond with adequate legisla-
ton by Oct. /, Mr.. Roosevelt
said he would not hesitate to
"use every power vested in me
to accomplish the defeat Of our
enemies"

said, Ito take measures neces-

Suggestions
Open Conflict
Believed Imminent

CHUNGKING, Sept. 8 R
Reports circulated in foreign
circles here today that Japanese
Ambassador Naotake Sato had
presented recent Suggestions"
to Russia which the Soviet gov
eminent found unacceptable,
and that as a result a break into
open conflict between the two
nations was expected at any
moment.
These reports did not specify
what suggestions Japan was al
legged to have made. They were
said, however, to have been laid
before the Russians since the
resignation of Shigenori Togo
as Japanese Foreign Minister
last week.
An Army spokesman said at a
Press conference that China had
no new knowledge of Japanese
troop movements outside of Chi
ma, but reports reaching other
quarters in this capital contin-
ued to describe a steady flow of
japanese forces into Manchuk-
no, across the border from Si-
