FDR Reports to Congress Meeting With Churchill And Proclaims Impossibility of Peace With Nazis
WASHINGTON, Aug. 21 (AP) - President Roosevelt, reporting to Congress on his meeting with Prime Minister Churchill, said the declaration of principles agreed upon were so clear that they would be difficult to oppose "without automatically admitting willingness to accept a compromise with Nazism." These principles, he added in a brief special message, also would be hard to oppose without admitting willingness to "agree to a world peace which would give to Nazism domination over large numbers in conquered nations. It is inevitable, he said, that such a peace would be a gift to Nazis, to take a breath, an armed breath, for a second war to extend control over Europe and Asia, to the American Hemisphere itself."
He said it is necessary to "call attention once more to the utter lack of validity of the spoken or written word of the Nazi government."
He added, it is also unnecessary to point out that the declaration included, of necessity, "the world need for freedom of religion and freedom of information." He said: No society of the world, organized under announced principles could survive without these freedoms which are part of the whole freedom for which we strive."
