BY the Associated Press.


LONDON, Sept. %. Prime
Minister Churchill warned the
House of Commons today that,
despite German losses approach
ing the 100000 mark in North
western Europe, the war might
still continue into l945.
He indicated he considered a new
three-poWer meeting to include
Premier Stain was essential before
revelation of peace plans.
Opening a tWo-day war and peace
debate, the Prime Minister made
these points, among Others:
l. That Allied forces in North
western Europe have swelled to be-
tween 100000 and 100000 men,
and that nearly 250,000 men rushed
ashore during the first "a hours of
the invasion.
q That perhaps 100000 Germans
are now trapped in Holland and
their capture or destruction appeared
highly probable These 100000 do
not include others sealed off in the
Channel islands, st. NaZaire and
Lorient, the last two siege ports in
Brittany, and the Bordeaux pockets
along the Bay of Biscay.
100000 Nazis Killed.
3. That German losses in France
Belgium and Holland since D-day
can now be placed officially at 400
600 killed and wounded with nearly
00000 more as prisoners.
a. That Allied losses during the
same period now stand at 10000
British and l45 900 Americans killed,
wounded or missing.
5. That no one-certainly not L
can guarantee that several months
of l945 may not be required to
finish off Germany
s. That even after organized re-
sistance ceases, fierce warfare may
still be carried on in the German
hills and mountains by numbers of
desperate men conscious of their
own guilt and impending doom"
7. That complete agreement on
every point" was reached between
himself and President Roosevelt at
the Quebec conferences.
8. That the British fleet had been
offered for the war against Japan
and the offer cordially accepted"
with much of Britain's naval
strength already gathered in the
Indian Ocean.
New Jap Drive Forecast
9. That the 10 japanese divisions
which were launched against India
have been largely shattered. with
between $4,000 and $4,000 killed, but
that a new enemy offensive can be
expected with the ending of the
monsoon.
10. That England will support
Russia in demanding territorial
changes in the Polish frontier to
give Russia the security she is en-
titled to have
IL, That the big three are united
on more close ana more effective"
basis than ever before, but Premier
Stain must sit down with the heads
of the British and American gov
ernments as soon as the military
situation permits IN order that the
big decisions of the peace can be
agreed upon
Il deprecate very much people
being carried away into premature
expectations of an early cessation of
the fighting. he declared in a full
dress report on the Quebec confer
ence and the war in general.
Won't Hazard Guess.
Il shall certainly not hazard a
guess as to when the end will come
Many persons of the highest techni-
cal attainment and knowledge and
responsibility have good hopes that
1t will all be over by the end of
1914. On the other hand. no OFF,
certainly not I-can guarantee that
several months Of 1945 may not be
required
or Polish Russian differences, the
Prime Minister said Britain would
do her utmost to obtain for Russia
the security she is entitled to have
on her west front" and that he eX-
pected Poland to have her national
sovereignty and independence re-
stored.
He said there would have to be
changes on the frontier and Russia
has right to our support in this
matter
