Churchill, Roosevelt
Believed PLANNING
Postwar Moves Now
Hint Is Seen in Speech
Of Prime Minister to
British Home Guorders
BY the Associated Press.

Prime Minister Churchill's
first speech on his current visit
to the United States gave rise to
speculation today that he and
President Roosevelt might be
conferring on postwar plans as
we'll as fresh military drives.
AS the two United Nation leaders
started their fifth day OF strategy
sessions. some attention turned to
the Prime Minister'S promise that
the time is approaching when Eu-
rope will be invaded.
But even more interest was
aroused by another assertion in his
radio address from the White
House yesterday-that he and Mr..
Roosevelt are planning well
ahead" of Army advances.
The postwar planning phase was
strengthened by his statement that
battlefield victories are not con-
elusive, that even the final victory
will only open a new and happier
field OF valiant endeavor."
Addresses Home Guard.
The British leaders l5-minute
address commemorated the third
anniversary of the formation of
the British Home Guard and was
directed largely to the nearly D.
100000 Eng1ishmen who combine
civilian tasks with protecting their
Nation against invasion.
He praised their work and told
them not to diminish their vigilance
against a Nazi invasion in force,
warning that until Hitler and Hit
lerism are beaten into uncondi-
tional surrender. the danger of in
vasion will never pass away"
Soon after he spoke. the Prime
Minister and the President met
with their full military and naval
staffs for the second ma jor confer
ence since the British leader ar
rived Tuesday.
Additional details on the Prime
Minister'S third visit to Washington
came to light last night through the
British Information Service. 1t said

was largely uneventful and that
