Churchill And
EDR GetNeMs
By MERRTMAN SMITH
Omitted Press Stan COETesponder

! tUntted Press stan correspondent
washington, Sept. 8 - CU.p) -
President Roosevelt and Prime
Minister winston Churchill, part
ners in the planning of Anglo
American military strategy, received
today the news they had been ex-
pecting and waiting for-the news
that the Axis had been split asunder
with the capitulation Of Italian
armed forces.
The news, tersely flashed to the
world from General Dwight D.
Eisenhowers North African head
quarters, represented the culmina-
ton Of brilliant military operations
conceived, in consultation with their
stats, by Mr.. Roosevelt and
Churchill in conferences begun here
in December, 1941, and climaxed-
as far as the Mediterranean theater
was concerned - in the historic
meeting at Casablanca - early this
year.
That Italian unconditional sur
render was imminent was surmised
here because Of Churchill's pro-
longed stay in this country after
conclusion Of the Quebec confer
ences last month.
1t appeared probable that the
President and the Prime Minister
had laid down the general terms of
Italian capitulation-terms conso-
nant with the unconditional sur
render" formula announced at Cas-
ablanca - but had left him with a
relatively fire. HAND to deal with
Italian offers.
Almost the first speculation after
the news arrived here was that
other of Germany's satellite states
would follow Italy in surrendering,
possibly in the near future. The ex-
ample Of Italy, for example, might
encourage Finland to make a sep
arate peace with Soviet Russia,
some sources believed.
Joy To Conquered Countries
In any event, Italy'S disaster Is
bound to be received with great joy
in the various conquered countries
of Europe.
At the War Department the news,
packed with portents as the most
tremendous single break in the Axis
war front to date. was received with
official silence.
Military observers, however, were
quick to recognize the thus-far I'M
paralleled opportunities now opened
up for the Allied forces under Els
enhower.
1t appeared likely that Italian

Washington, Sept. 8 - (U.P) -
President Roosevelt today edited his
latest lend-lease report to delete
the description OF victory and q
secure peace" as the only repayment
coin-but made. 1t clear that no
beneficiary nation would face stag
gering war debts.
He told his press and radio con-
ference there had appeared in his let
ter Of transnittal covering the 18th
report to congress these two SEN
fences:
The congress in passing and ex-
tending the lend-lease act made 1t
plain that the United States wants
no new war debts to jeopardize the
coming peace. Victory and a secure
peace are the only coin in which
we can be repaid"
These words, he said, were true
in q narrow, technical sense and
contain a very large element Of
truth, but the error was in their
condensation.
Mr.. Roosevelt explained that
under lend-lease the recipient ma
tons will repay as far as they pos
sibly can. but not necessarily in
dollars because OF many other pos
sible forms Of repayment. He said
he objected particularly to the

NUnAteu fTeSs StaH correspondent
Moscow, Sept. S.-(UP)-The Red
army has captured Stalino, indus
trial capital and railway hub Of the
Donets basin, or has the victory
clinched, it was revealed today by
a report that the city's fall would
be announced formally before the

the Germans had evacuated Stalino

and that the Germans were being
swept westward at a growing pace.

UNITED Press STAFF Correspondent,

Washington, Sept. S.-(UP)-Ar-
gentina today faced the postwar
prospect Of having to relinquish her
domination Of South America to
Brazil and to continue her self-im-
posed isolation from other western
hemisphere nations.
That implication was contained
In o letter from Secretary of State
Cordell Hull to Argentina's foreign
minister, Segundo Stoni, in which
Hull bluntly rejected the South
American country's appeal for air.
planes asd other munitions on
grounds that Argentina has refused
to contribute her share to the de-
tense Of the hemisphere, has failed
to live up to her inter-American
commitments, and has in many ways
given aid and comfort to the enc
mics Of the United Nations.
The correspondence between Hull
and Storm was released by the State
Department last night. Hun's reply
to Storms appeal that his country's
neutrality was misunderstood was
the most severe rebuke delivered by
tie United States to a Latin Amer
lean government In mnay years.
It was in marked contrast to the
warm message sent earlier yesterday
by President Roosevelt to the Pres
ident Of Brazil-Argentina,s rival for
years for South American suprem-
acy-on Brazilian Independence
Day. Brazil has declared war on
the Axis and has been the chief
South American recipient Of lend
lease supplies.
Braxll's Growing Might
Dispatches from Argentina for O
long time have revealed increasing
concern over the growing military
might Of Brazil. Hulrs note left
little doubt in diplomatic circles
here that the United States would
