LONDON. Aug. 21 ) Un
official English, Polish- and Nor
wegian strategists raised anew
today their cries for a British
invasion of the continent as the
only way to defeat Germany.
British military leaders were
called upon for all-out war against
the nazis. Current RAF bombings
of Germany and occupied terri
tories were deemed insufficient,
by these sources.
Frank Owen, editor of Minister
of Supply. Lord Beaverbrook's
Evening Standard, demanded "a
second front and not only in tne
air" in a siened editorial. Owen
suggested a British offensive
against Italy, long favored by
some military sources as the spot
where the axis could be hit-hard
est.
Landing Attempt urged -
Many Polish and Norwegian
military, men have urged the
British to attempt landings at a
number of noints along the Euro
pean coastline in an effort to
find the weakest point in uer
man defenses.
Once a weak spot were found,
these men believe, enough British
and Allied forces could be land
ed to overcome local resistance
to dig in and open a new front.
Most of these nien believe RAF
bombings have smashed German
communications and therefore the
Germans would find it difficult
to concentrate' enough troops to
counter a British invasion at any
one point. ''' .
Favored particularly ' by Poles
and Norwegians is a landing in
Norway north of Narvik. They
offer . three reasons , for such a
landing:

Radio Hams Aid
In Mock War
WITH THE ARMY in South
west Washington, Aug. 21 04")
The army: is trying for the first
time, apparently with success, the
voluntary mobilization- of amateur
radio operators for defensive aid
in the current west . coast; war
maneuvers of 100,000 men.
Two hundred operators are co
operating in a secret radio es
pionage network by which the de
fending forces learn of troop, me
chanized and motorized move
ments long before - they could be
ascertained by normal channels.
The radio plan-was developed by
Maj. Gen. Kenyon A. Joyce, com
mander of the 9th corps army, and
has proved particularly valuable
in the wild Olympic peninsula for
est area..
Under the rules of warfare, the
civilian operators would be sub
ject to execution as, spies. They
include farmers, ' forest .rangers,
state patrolmen, water patrolmen,
fishermen, coast, guardsmen- ana
others.
One message came through to
army headauarters at nudnlgnt:

WASHINGTON. Aug. 21
President Roosevelt, reporting to
congress on his epochal meeting
at sea with Prime Minister
Churchill, said today the declara.
tlon of. principles agreed upon
there were so clear cut that
they would be difficult to oppose
"without automatically admitting
willingness to accept compro
mise" with naziism. .'
These principles, the president
added in a brief special message,
also would be hard to oppose
without admitting a willingness
to "agree to a world peace which
would give to naziism domination
over large numbers of conquered
nations." ;
"Inevitably," Mr. Roosevelt as
serted, "such a peace would be
a gift to naziism to take breath
armed breath" for a Second war
to extend the control over Europe
and Asia to the American hemi
sphere itself;
"Nasls Lack Validity"
Mr. Roosevelt said it was per
haps unnecessary to "call atten
tion once more to the utter lack
of validity of the spoken or writ
ten word of the nazi government."
He added that it also was un
necessary to point out that the
declaration included ot necessity
"the world need for freedom of
religion and freedom of information-"
' ' - ',
. He said: '; ''"""; .'
-. "No society of the world organ-,
Ized under the announced princi
ples could survive without these
freedoms which are part of the
whole freedom for which we
strive."
"Clear Gains Made"
The president reported the mili
tary and naval conversations at
the" north Atlantic conference
"made clear gains" in furthering
the effectiveness of lend-lease aid
to countries east and west, -
He and the prime minister, Mr.
Roosevelt added, are arranging for
conferences with Russia to assist
it "in its defense against the at
tack made by the principal ag
gressor of the modern world
Germany."
In fact, this copy, furnished to
congress in the nature of a re
port, constituted most of today's
message. Only six new paragraphs
were included.
The declaration of principles,
the president continued, present
ed a goal "worthwhile for our
type of civilization to seek."
. Written with pencil and scratch
pad in the president's study last
night, the message contained a
copy of the official statement re
leased by the White House last
Thursday covering the eight gen
eral. alms agreed upon by the
prime minister and Mr. Roosevelt.
