Says U. S. And Britain Agreed In Principle
On 99-Year Leases On Naval And Air Bases
London Aug. 20 (JP) The war leadership of Britain told
Parliament and nation today that "agreement in principle"
has been reached between the British and United States
governments on the leasing to the latter of air-naval bases
in Britains Western Hemisphere possessions from New-
foundland to the Caribbean.
Foreign Secretary Lord Halifax made the statement
regarding the tentative agreement in the House of lords
after Prime Minister Winston Churchill had disclosed to
the House of Commons a British offer of 99-year leases
for the bases.
Lard Halifax apoka In answer
In a auertlea aai mid the hue
c cemed Involved Newfound-
land Atlantic Islands (perhaps
a reference to Bermuda) and
Wert Indian potato. He thne In-
dicated that negotiation be-
tween Britain end the United
State are farther advanced than
Fh archill had lei It be known.
"We have agreed In principle"
raid the foreign secretary "and I
am mtlffled that no great diffi-
culty will arise In the diacunlon
of details."
Detailed negotiations however
have not yet begun he added.
In Ms eighth war statement
one filled with cold confidence
the prime minister declared
Britain had derided to offer these
"suitable sites" to foe United
States in Newfoundland and the
West Indies and was not asking
for an; advantage In return.
However he did appeal for
"tiir v reinforcement" of Britains
navy from foe United States a
reference to some 50 over-age
American destroyers which Britain
wants to buy.
Speaking of foe proposed naval
leases Churchill said:
"Undoubtedly this process
means that these two great or-
ganizations of foe English speak-
ing democracies foe British Em-
pire and the United States will
have to be somewhat mixed up
together in some of their affairs
for mutual and general advantage.
"Far my awn part looking
out upon the future. I do net
view the process with any mis-
givings. "I could net stop It If I
wtoked. Ne one can atop It.
Like the Mbatarippl It Jut
keeps railing along. Let It roll.
Let It rail fuUftood inexorable.
Irresistible benignant to broad-
er lands and better days."
Cheers greeted this passage.
As Churchill spoke three great
waves uf German planes foun-
dered across the channel into
Southeast England and dropped
their bombs then roared back to
France
Of foe proffer of defense bases
to America Churchill asserted
Britain was ready to open dis-
cussions for their development
whenever President Roosevelt was
ready. "Naturally he added no
transfer of sovereignty to In-
volved. A similar statement was
made In the House of Lords by
Viscount Caldecote dominions
secretary.
"We feel sure our Interests no
less than theirs . (the United
Statu) . . . will be served there-
by" raid Churchill.
Churchill declined to speculate
about what terms Britain should
he win would demand "to snare
mankind foe miseries of a third
World War."
"We are still tolling up foe
hill he declared "we have not
yet reached foe Crestline.
Churchill raid foe defection of
France had contributed greatly
to Britains Inability to defend
her African protectorate of Soma-
liland now In Italian hands but
he explained even before foe
start of the war no prolonged
defense there was contemplated.
The British troops in Somaliland
he raid were withdrawn "virtual-
ly intact to fight elsewhere.
He warned however that
bigger operations are coming to
the Middle Sait.
As for Britain he Instated
"Invasion becomes ranch man
difficult week by week.
HU request for foe American
destroyers was voiced u an ap-
peal "to our friends across the
ocean" to send foe warships
which will "bridge foe gap be'
kllc go ue- than Britain "but our new pro-
tween the peace flotillas of 1939 Auction" is greatly faster.
- -- - - Although "American production
la only just beginning to flow in"
British bombers and fighter
strength despite the battle la lar-
ger than ever.
He anticipated still greater Nazi
dr warfare with confidence in
Britains ability to meet it
"We hope end believe that we
shall be able to continue the air
struggle Indefinitely end aa long
as the enemy pleases and the
longer it continues foe
rapid will be our approach first
toward parity and then towards
that superiority in tha air upon
which n a large measure the de-
cision of the war depends
ChurchlU continued.

termined men have rifles end
bayonets in their hands; and throe
quarters of them era in regular
military formations."
British food atocka "of all kinds

days of peace;" ChurchlU de-
clared. "
As In Nelsoai day the maxim
holds: VurtHt lino of Mra is

And he mid "We have never
had armies like this in our island
and the war flotillas of 1941.
In a calmly confident war state-
ment to the House of Commons
his first in more than a month he
also placed total British dead
wounded and missing at 92000 in
this war and summoned the king-
dom to prepare for the cam-
paigns of 1941 and 1942.
Churchill's appeal for "timely
reinforcement" of Britains hard-
pressed battle fleet waa apparent-
ly a reference to British pleas that
the United States authorize the
rale to Britain some fifty over-
age destroyers.
The prime minister. Jeering at
Hitters proclaimed total blockade
of England declared bluntly that
no food would be allowed to reach
any country which has fallen to
Hitler. Ha said he regretted that
he had to refine American re-
quests that food be allowed to go
to thd people of France Belgium
and Holland.
He conceded that "the enemy
am itlll for more numerous in the'
air than we but declared that
Britain plana production now ex-
ceeds Germanys "largely.
"We are rare ef oarselvea Mi

Brittah; and be tha road ."long os

to' reach Our journey's end.
He baaed hie refusal to allow
food to pass tha British blockade
on foe premise It would only pro-
long the agony. of all Europe.
Then somberly he reviewed
this Summers "cataract of disas-
ter" warned that "the puppet
government" of France may be
forced to become Britain's foe "at
any moment" and declared that
all foe porta "from foe North Cape
to the Spanish frontier might be
wed for an invasion of Britain.
Vet he raid immense amounts
of munitions from the United
Statu had been landed in Eng-
land without foe loss of a gun
or a round" of ammunition and
he predicted that England with
foe help of American production
eventually would get superiority
in the air.
Until that time he declared
Britain will keep on fighting Ger-
many in foe air "indefinitely and
os long as foe enemy pleases."
The prime minister in hie
eighth war review repeated that
"we mwt prepare for foe cam-
paigns of 1941 and 1942."
Among hU listeners in the dip-
lomatic gallery were United Statu
Ambassador Joseph P. Kennedy
and Soviet Russian Ambassador
Ivan Maisky.
Loud cheers greeted Churchill's
announcement that Britain will
maintain "a strict blockade of
Germany Italy France and every
other country that has fallen into
foe hands of Germany."
"We must refuse to allow food
to be passed through foe block-
ade he declared.
New style war he said 60x10
to be "weU gulled to the gening
and the resource of the British
nation and empire" and "ones
we get properly equipped end
properly started s war ef thta
kind win be more favorable to
slaughters ef the Samara ..."
The road to victory may not
be so long u we expect but we
have no right to count upon this.
Be it long or short rough
smooth we mein to reach our
journeys end."
ChurchlU laughed at foe Nail
blockade of Britain.
"I remember the Kaiser
that in the tost war he obi
Allowing food to reach the
Nazis would prolong foe agony
of all Europe he raid expressing
regret that we must refuse re-
quests that food should pan the
blockade such as Mr. Hoovers
plan for relieving France Belgium
and Holland."
Germany found vast stores of
food in each country overrun
Churchill said "and If all this
food is not available now it can
only be because it has been re-
moved to feed the people of
Germany . . .
"The only agencies which could
create famine in any part of
Europe during foe coming Winter
would be German exactions or
German failure to distribute the
supplies they commanded."
Brimming with buoyant confi-
dence he declared: "We are sure
of ourselves and of our cause.
"Wo have mastered the mag-
netic mine.
"The navy is far stronger than
at foe beginning of the war.
"We shall do our best be
said "to encourage the build-

DefenseAccord
Alarms Japan
Tokyo Aug. 20 (AP via Radio)
Japanera newspapers professed
alarm today over the United
States new defense accord with
rmvh declaring that ultimately
it would cause grave disturbances
in the Orient. Dome! (Japanese
news agency) reported In a broad-
cast. One Influential paper Hochi
predicted that the Canadian
agreement was forerunner of a
similar American pact with Aue-
trallo and raid It "obliged Japan
to be extremely watchful in view
of its possible effect on the peace
of the Pacific region.
The newspaper Yomluri raid
thb Canadian pact was proof that
the United State no longer doubts
that Britain will be defeated end
therefore is taking measures to
meet the consequences of that
defeat
"The United States" Yomluri
continued "intends to take over
the remaining influence of Britain
in the world and thereby increase
her own power in regions west
of her (in the Orient) as well as
In tiie east Japan must balance
this by establishing her new or-
der in East Asia. . . .
There to no doubt that dis-
turbed conditions In the Pacific
would be increased by the pos-
sibility that the United States
might enter the (European) con-
flict formally.

permit defense piaat- eeastrue-

five years.
Sane committeemen took a dif-
ferent tack however the commii-
tees report on the testimony dis-
closed. Senator McKellsr (D)
Tennessee said that he thought
perhaps we should use a little
force to make manufacturer
furnish needed materials. Sena-
tor Russell (D) Georgia express-
ed himself as favoring authority
for the president to take over
plants when defense materials
could not be obtained otherwise.

Bureau of Ordnance was quoted
aa saying that "I thought possibly
tills committee would be interest-
ed In knowing the facts that prog-
ress has stopped on the procure-
ment of materials that go into
ships."
"The navy had no trouble what-
ever he continued "until busi-
ness picked up and the army hav-
ing Increased appropriations be-
gan to buy guns without the oper-
ation of the Vtnson-TrammrtL act

business from tha navy to be un
