In a desperate effort to ward of
inevitable disaster by dividing the
United Nations, Mr. Roosevelt said
1t was in vain for them to hope
that any of us may be so gullible
and so forgetful as to be duped
into making deals at the expense
of our Allies"
He ,eaff1rmed that unconditional
surrender" is the only basis on which
any Of the United Nations will deal
with any Axis factions, asserting
that all of us are completely in
accord in our determination to de-
stroy the forces of barbarism in Asia
and in Europe and in Africa
The policy toward all United Ma
tons enemies. he declared. is the
same-"a policy of fighting hard on
all fronts and ending the war as
quickly as we can on the uncompro-
missing terms of unconditional sur
render
Mr.. Roosevelt based his discussion
OF home front problems on what he
said was concern expressed to him

that most of these reports are just

Expressing confidence that "un-
truths of ganda' will not fool
many people" or block the road to
victory and an effective peace" he
| asserted that fundamental of such
a peace is assurance that the Ma
tons fighting men will find "jobs
for all who are willing to work

He described professional skep-
tics who say this and other post
war aims cannot be achieved as
! 'pettifoggers" who are seeking to
"befog the present and the future

Unless We begin to find a solu-

Senators Skeptical
Oh. Immediate Action
On Postwar Plans
Too EorIy for Details
Is General Reaction
To WeIIes' Proposal
BY the Associated Press.

DS tEs hssoCihLeQ frcSs.
Senators generally today saw little
chance of an immediate United Ma
tlons agreement on any detailed
postwar program, though some ex-
pressed hope for settlement on
basic principles" in the near future.
Skepticism of Undersecretary Of
State Welles' proposal yesterday that
the United Nations decide promptly
the method of putting aims of the
Atlantic Charter in effect was based
chiefly on belief that after-the-
war conditions cannot be envisioned
now
Mr.. Welles, in urging agreement
on postwar program to avert
disastrous" rivalries, said it would
be far easier to accomplish now,
while the United Nations are fight
ing together, than after the war is
won"
Senator Bankhead, Democrat. OF
Alabama said he doubted the wis
dom of drafting such program
now because we don't know yet
what situations will exist when
peace comes
India Problem Mentioned.
For example" he said, suppose
England refused to make any change
in her relations with India. That
certainly would bring up a problem
that might cause serious disagree
ment and impair the war effort
On the other hand. another Ala
baman, Senator Hill. Democratic
whip, termed Mr.. Welles' views "ab-
solutely sound"
Now is the time, when We are
struggling. suffering and fighting
together in the common cause of
saving ourselves and the world, to
agree on plans for the peace of the
world after the war" he said.
Senator Gillette, Democrat. OF
Iowa. author of resolution calling
for agreement on basic principles
of the Atlantic Charter, expressed
belief 1t would be desirable to take
every possible step toward unified
effort"
But there is serious question, u
he added, whether we can envision
postwar conditions sufficiently to
60 into detail. We certainly can't
afford to have any competitive dis
cussions which might lead to dis
unity"
Clark and Smith Dubious.
On the dubious side were Sena
tors Clark, Democrat, OF Missouri
and Smith, Democrat, of South
Carolina. The former said he
wouldn't comment on the under
secretary's proposal because Il don't
know what it means"
Senator Smith wondered, What S
Mr.. Welles driving at?"
Senator Aiken. Republican, OF Ver-
mont said the United States expect
ed to Cooperate with other nations
OF the world" and should be con-
sidering the postwar situation now
But" he cautioned. I'VE should be
keeping our eyes open at the same
time"
Every one knows that the inten-
tions OF the United States are hon
orable." observed Senator Danaher
Republican, Of Connecticut. But
what Americans wish to know is
what do our collaborators seek from
this war? What are Russian plans?
What will Great Britain do? 1
think we should find out"
Senator Bridges, Republican. OF
New Hampshire expressed belief Mr..
Welles had hit the nail on the
head"
TT is essential for the success OF
the postwar era for the United Ma
tions to agree now at least on the
general features of a postwar pro-
gram" he said
