exchange of messages between Pres
ident Roosevelt and Joseph Stain,
declared last night their contents
still we're to remain secret for the
protection of all of us" but added:
1T is, however, a fair inference
that this bespeaks unity and
agreement with reference to mill
tary activities or other plans, as
among our great leaders, Mr..
Churchill Mr.. Stain, Mr. Roosevelt,
and those of the (otheD United Ma
tions. That, am sure, gives us all
great satisfaction"
In a talk before a Canadians So
Wet friendship rally, the former
American Ambassador to the Soviet
Union asserted that mutual conf
dence between Russia and her allies,
particularly Canada and the United
States, was essential to a lasting
peace, that without Russia there
can be no stable peace"
Introduced by Prime Minister.
Mr.. Davies said that the reduced
significance of distances had
brought the war in Russia to within
two days of North American shores
by air transport and had made the
Soviet Union of vital Importance
to America.
we will soon be more closely in
terlocked with airplanes across the
Pole" Mr.. Davies added. Moscow
will soon be overnight from New
York. We three great nations. and
only we three-Russia, Canada and
the United States-Will be at that
hub and, in fact, be the hub of the
world"
Mr.. Davies was introduced by
Canadian Prime Minister Mackenzie
King who said in his address that
Now is the time for the entire
world to realize that. just as no ma
ton of itself can insure its own
security. so no nation in isolation
can create prosperity"
We shall have found the kew to
new postwar order" Mr.. King
said, when the nations of the world
come to base their policies on the
truth that prosperity, like security,
is indivisible: that no nation liveth
unto itself; that they are members
one Of another. This is the only
basis of a sound foreign policy"
Trust Declared Important.
Mr.. King said the Importance of
RuSsia's resistance lin the war; has
been so great that we hardly dare
ask ourselves what might have hap
pened if, instead of standing firm.
the Russians had yielded or had
been overborne."
Mr.. Davies, declaring that Russia
needs peace-wants peace" said 1T
Is vital that Russia should trust us,
and that the United Nations should
trust Russia" and that differences
In ldeologies and religion should not
be barrier to an agreement on
matters vital to the security and
peace of the United Nations"
