for positive action from ihe Unltwd States in the struggle against Naiii Germany was issued today by Prime Ministers Winston Church ll and Mackenzie King, with the Canadian Prime Minister suggesting that. Washin ton make a pledge to Brit- ain aha ogous to Britain's pledge that she will stand by the United States if it were involved in a war with Japan. Addressing a Lord Mayor's clieon in hi5 honor Mr. King said: "Your declaration. Mr. Prime .\'ll'_l~ lster. that in the Far East Britain would stand at the side oi the Unn- cd states ls a sure sign of the deep- ening inter-dependence of the free world. A similar declaration on the pert oi the United States as i» spects Nazi Germany would. I be-

to shorten this perilous conflict. such a declaration would be full of meanlntl to the German people. At the same time it would const realistic recognition that Britain is the one obstacle in the wsv of s, Nazi attack upon the new world."

A few minutes later. Prime Min- ister Churchill declared that. "no lasting or permanent solution oi ihe difficulties with which we are now confronted - with which the whole world is confronted — no version oi that sad lstc by which the whole world is menaced, can sch eyed without the full co-operstion in cv- erv field of all nations which as yet lie outside the ranltc of the con- qllerofs power."
