COUNCIL AT SEA?

CHURCHILL & ROOSEVELT PERSISTENT RUMOURS IN U.S.A. DOUBT CAST ON DENIALS. SOME SUGGESTED EVIDENCE. (By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright) (Received This Day, 10.55 a.m.) WASHINGTON, August 8. Rumours of a council of war at sea between Mr Winston Churchill and President Roosevelt are the foremost topic of conversation in the United States. For Americans, the whereabouts of the two leaders have become the greatest mystery of this war. Evidence that a conference is taking place is seen in these facts: No official denial of the meeting has been issued in Washington or London. Mr Sumner Welles (Assistant Secretary of State) has now left Washington, for “a short rest.” The State Department declines to say where he has gone. Also “missing” without explanation are Colonel Knox (Secretary for the Navy), Admiral Stark (Chief of the I Naval Staff), General Marshall (Chief of Staff) and General Arnold. The Navy Department daily report from the Presidential yacht Potomac is not enlightening. It said: “All members of the party are showing the effects of sunning. The fishing is good. All aboard are well. The weather is excellent.” It is pointed out that this report does not say that President Roosevelt is on the Potomac. It contains nothing to prove that he has not transferred from the yacht to a warship. A high official in Washington says he knew President' Roosevelt and Mr Churchill had wanted for several months to meet face to face for a general discussion of Anglo-American collaboration against the Axis.
